    EMIT: LASER CUT FASHION

    Wednesday, May 1, 2013

    Emit‘s laser cut dresses and skirts are made from performance fabrics used in athletic wear. They’re so lightweight, breathable and wrinkle-resistant, you could probably work out in them, I joked with co-founders Ben Hermel and Monica Cullen after a fashion show. But these aren’t your jock’s slouchy warmups. Emit adds a level of sophistication to [...]

    ANIMAL ATHLETICS

    Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Rococo Wax Boutique

We’ve all dealt with the aches and pains of waxing, trying to find a reliable place and hoping you don’t walk out the door looking more freakish than you thought you did going in. Being comfortable while you get those pesky hairs removed is always a must. Being surrounded by local works of art and [...]

PALACE

It’s hard not to be impressed and obsessed with all the local boutiques. The talent and visual eye people have here is incredible. We get even more obsessed when they are lady owned + operated. When we first walked past Palace, located off of SE Belmont, we just couldn’t resist. We had to get the [...]

PIZZA FOR PARKAS

Did you get a new winter coat this year? Before you go and throw out the old one, we’ve got a better idea: bring it to Via Tribunali at any point this month for their “Pizzas for Parkas” campaign and get a free margherita pizza in return. It’s that simple! Via Tribunali, the Seattle-based Neapolitan [...]

AMERICAN HIPSTER PRESENTS

We love it when people come here to learn more about Portland and share with the rest of the world. Portland’s quirkiness has gained recent notoriety, thanks to Portlandia, but it’s hard to really capture the whole picture of our creative and eccentric community. We have to hand it to Paavo Steinkamp, host of American [...]

VISUAL CHAIN LETTER

We’ve been fans of Ace Hotel for awhile now, but today we fell even more in love after we received the best mail ever. No, really…ever. Ace has created the VISUAL CHAIN LETTER in hopes to bring people closer to both, each other and the world around us. Being big advocates of “exploring the world” idea, this [...]
