Coffee, Culture, and Skyline Sparks

Taylor landed in Portland and swept into the stylish comfort of The Nines, where her suite’s eclectic décor and sweeping city views set the scene for the day. After indulging in a smooth espresso, she glanced at her Travel Advances app for Portland’s must-see spots.

Her adventure began at Powell’s City of Books, where Taylor wandered the shelves of the world’s largest independent bookstore. In between browsing, she snapped a Tommy Talk shot of herself, coffee in one hand, a novel in the other, captioned: “Books are great, but making them accessories? Even better.”

Shopping in the Pearl District brought Taylor face-to-face with sustainable, trendy boutiques. She snagged a minimalist chic jacket and a locally crafted leather tote, all paid with her Amex Gold—because even sustainable deserves style. On Tommy Talk, she wrote: “Portland: earthy vibes with a couture twist.”

Lunch at Tasty n Alder was a flavor-packed adventure. The Korean fried chicken paired with a matcha lemonade was a feast that sent her taste buds into overdrive. Her server asked what brought her to Portland, and Taylor replied, “Sustainable style, bold flavors, and being fabulous—naturally.”

Her afternoon was spent exploring Washington Park, where Taylor marveled at the colorful blooms in the International Rose Test Garden. A curious visitor asked what her favorite flower was, and Taylor replied with a wink, “The one that matches my lipstick.”

Dinner at Le Pigeon brought French-inspired dining with a Portland twist. The beef cheek bourguignon was divine, and the sommelier’s wine pairing elevated the meal to sheer decadence. Taylor posted on Tommy Talk: “Le Pigeon gave me wings—stylish ones, of course.”

The night ended at Holocene, where live music and pulsing beats ignited the dance floor. Draped in her minimalist chic jacket, Taylor danced effortlessly, catching the attention of a DJ who shouted her out mid-set. Taylor, always quick on her feet, spun dramatically and laughed, “I’ve got the moves—and the wardrobe.”

Back at The Nines, Taylor uploaded her Tommy Talk highlights, her Travel Advances app teasing tomorrow’s adventures. Portland left her inspired, but Taylor always left her mark.
