Welcome to the special Spring Shopping Picks edition of Sold
Out, featuring some of my favorite key pieces for the new season!
Before we get down to business, a few notes: This Friday, April 25,
there are two anniversaries worthy of your notice: Physical
Element
(1124 NW Lovejoy) is celebrating a birthday and a revamp;
the new direction is less about active apparel and more an
international collection of fashion-forward pieces—go check it
out! (Fri, 7 pm, free). Also Friday, on the other side of town,
Lille Boutique (1007 E Burnside) is having their first
anniversary party, with a fashion show, DJ, and more. How will you ever
decide?! (Fri, 7 pm, free with RSVP to info@lilleboutique.com)
