As fall starts to close its fabulous curtains on Portland, we went out searching for the perfect winter coat (following these local coat shopping suggestions from our neat Portland style guru, of course), and we spotted social work student Nicole Cook in the perfect winter warmer of her own — this [...]

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 [...]
