    Wednesday, June 5, 2013

    “Life is too short to wear boring clothes.” Yes, yes it is. Crispin Argento, the main man behind PINO, a tailored apparel company, is always dressed to the nines.

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.

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.

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 [...]
