One of the reasons this ā€œstreet styleā€ page focuses on events rather than the street is because photos can be your eye into a scene you may know nothing about. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m always happy when you guys offer suggestions about where I should be showing up to take pics. I hope to look back at these photos in 30 years and smile in the same way as when I look at what my parents wore on their honeymoon. Style is a time and place that gets stamped. And hopefully, by the time my time is up, Portlandā€™s Pretty will have stamped every scene in the city.

This weekā€™s scene report comes from Lose Yr Mindā€”a great festival in its sixth year, which is always getting better. The bands included local heroes Lavender Flu, Oaklandā€™s finest Shannon Shaw (of Shannon and the Clams), Surfbortā€”whose lead singer is Gucciā€™s newest star ;)ā€”and the ever-popular Guantanamo Baywatch. (Portland misses you guys!) Continue killing it, Lose Yr Mind! Portlandā€™s music scene wouldnā€™t be the same without you!ā€”xo, PPĀ
