We headed to the shipyards last Sunday night to scope out the crowd at Portland Fashion Week’s closing night, and we quickly spotted Nicole Boyer, who made us wish we hadn’t forgotten to give our own legs a warmer outfit. “I’m wearing silk stockings from Lille boutique,” she said of her [...]

We love it when accidentally amazing Neat STREET style stories happen. Intrepid Neat Sheet fashion intern Sora Yi was out shopping when her arrow-sharp fashion sense honed in on Anna Branch, a designer relations assistant for Portland Fashion Week. Do we know how to spot ‘em or [...]

Sculptor Jessie Weitzel, a student at Pacific Northwest College of Art and part-time animator, is having a ’90s neon moment. “It’s a weird, premature nostalgia,” she laughed when we asked about her choice of neon orange toenails, which lit up Northwest Lovejoy Street as she shopped for Mother’s Day gifts on this sunny Saturday.

When Michelle Gerlach strolled past our sunny table on the patio of Northeast Glisan Street’s new Migration Brewing pub, we were so captivated by her grass green espadrilles we slammed down our happy hour glass to chase her down and ask where she got ‘em.
“I have a passion for shoes,” she said. [...]

Laura Bieluczyk was putting off good vibrations when we found her breezing down Mississippi Avenue on Saturday afternoon. This was due in part to a nice lunch she’d just had at Miss Delta with her mom, who was visiting from Houston, Texas, and in part due to the positive energy coming from her pretty stone [...]
