A cold, grey front may be moving back in, but spring sprang in Portland for one glorious Saturday, when gals about town tucked flowers behind their ears, hopped on their bikes and pedaled fast to catch the sun.
Anya Hankin was one such pretty pedaler, who we found moving at fast clip in a blur of [...]

We love meeting a gal with the keen fashion insticts to mix military touches with menswear, then top it all off with cherry red lipstick and stroll down Northwest 23rd Avenue like she invented Saturday afternoon.
Meet Madison High School senior Tiffany Perry, who says fellow students think her style is “weird” because she’s often able [...]

The Neat Sheet played a fun little game of Frogger on Northeast Broadway Friday, racing through traffic to catch Meredyth Jensen, whose tall brown riding boots, faux-fur trimmed vest and brunette crop we spotted from a block away. We finally caught up with Jensen at an ATM machine to ask about her outfit, which was money.
Jensen, [...]

When we spotted Alison Hawley wearing “jeggings” on Lower East Burnside Saturday afternoon, we pulled right over to ask her what she thinks of the denim-meets-leggings trend we covered just last week. Turns out Hawley, who owns Frank James boutique and was hanging out in front of her shop on a coffee break, much prefers jeggings [...]

Portland State University student Beryl Bessemer and her boyfriend went out looking for adventure in Southeast Portland this week, and they found it when Neat Street nabbed Bessemer to ask about her casually chic (and very Portland) Bohemian style.
Bessemer, who is enrolled in Middle Eastern Studies and Spanish at PSU, says her layered look is [...]

Aspiring designer Bre Wagner whipped past us in The Pearl District this week, on the fashion fast track in happy stripes and badass boots. We chased her down (literally), and learned she works as a server/bartender in Northwest Portland, and she enjoys burning her paychecks in The Pearl.
Wagner, who moved to Portland from the Eugene [...]
Neat street style: Wascally winter wear off Hawthorne

Does urban street style get any more perfectly Portland? We found Robin (last name held upon request) running Thursday errands in the Hawthorne neighborhood, and feeling a bit over-dressed as she’d prepared for cold and rain and got some suddenly sunny weather instead.
This Lewis & Clark College law school graduate was the epitome of urban [...]

It was easy to spot fun fashion risk taker Christy Williams in downtown Portland Saturday afternoon. The aspiring writer made a colorful splash on this grey, rainy day, strolling through Old Town beneath a bright pink, polka-dot parasol she paired with a long, green cardigan and purple suede platform pumps.
We interrupted Williams, on a daytime [...]

How adorable is Grace Alie, strolling Mississippi Avenue in her playful coral tunic and yellow sock combo, topped and tamed with a classic trench? Alie, an interior design student at Portland Art Institute, was kind enough to pose for The Neat Sheet’s first ever issue of Neat Street – our new weekly Sunday street style [...]
