Downtown Adventure!

Me and my sister, Kendra, ventured downtown today for some shopping and exploring. Our first stop was the always delicious Voodoo Doughnuts. I got a delicious Bacon Maple Bar (with crispy bacon on top!) and a Voodoo doll (filled with bloody raspberry filling, of course. Next, it was on to Powell's, the largest and most lovely bookstore I know of. I got a really neat notebook, with a cover in the style of a vintage detective novel, and an adorable mushroom candle.

We stopped by Compound (awesome art gallery/vinyl toy & novelty shop/clothing store) and Floating World Comics (hands down, best comic store in Portland). Then it was on to Mississippi Ave. Our main reason for going there was Missing Link Toys (favorite. store. ever.) I got an awesome variety of vinyl toys, including this little guy:

I collect Dunnys (check em out here). This specific one is by artist McBess. It’s pretty rare, and I’ve been trying to find it for months! Mississippi Ave is also a fantastic place to find graffiti and sticker art. Here’s a couple things me and Kendra snapped pics of:

I thought the door with all the doorknobs was genius, and I’m pretty curious as to which is the actual, working doorknob!

My outfit for the day. I absolutely love outfits that combine navy and purple. The jacket I’m wearing is my favorite ever. It makes me feel fancy and dressed-up, no matter what outfit I have on underneath it. And, I got it from Plato’s closet for a whopping $10! I’m currently wearing a Darth Vader brooch on it, which is totally available in my shop: Darth Vader Brooch

So that was my day! Now I’m off to work, after which I have the next five days off to spend with my lovely sister, and to celebrate Christmas! Yay!
