Don’t worry, guys—I’ve finally realized that it’s officially time to mix things up. But while my last couple of articles have been surf- and skate-themed, the seasons are about to change, and so will the vibe of Portland’s Pretty. Fall’s the time for fashion shows and indoor events… maybe you’ll even see a scarf? I’m […]

The Art Institute of Portland’s Last Fashion Event, Fade to Light, and More
Liza Rietz’s boutique is once again converting into a pop-up shop, this time featuring Sara Bergman and Atelier Maneo. By now I’d hope you’re familiar with Bergman’s “clothes for the modern wild woman,” and if not, this would be the perfect time and place to get acquainted. Atelier Maneo, on the other hand, is a […]

Let’s Go Skateboarding… Again!
Remember the last time I wrote this article? When I sagely noted that “board events are so hot right now”? Well, surprise!

Saying Hello to Summer with Portland Flea
Another Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, and if we lived in the 1930s, we’d be stoked we can finally wear white—but if you’re anything like me, you hate antiquated rules, and wear white in the dead of winter. I also refuse to subscribe to the rule that shoes and belts must always match. […]
