An awesome hooded blazer

FOUND this very cool new clothing line of scrumptious jackets on the fantastic blog Sartorially Inclined . The PDX brand Bridge and Burn sews up some mighty stylish, yet functional light outerwear for both men & women. Having lived in Portland, Oregon, these pieces on on the mark for the office, biking to the store, exploring the hidden staircases or even dressed up a bit for a Saturday night date. The Majorette hooded blazer shown here - perfect, perfect, perfect. I could wear this daily in Portland; a good part of the year in Virginia. And can I rave a bit about their logo? Portland is the American city of stunning bridges. Their logo sites my fav St John's Bridge. Again, perfect! Click here to find your perfect piece.

Punch of Color

A beautiful colorful serene room by Portland, Oregon Interior Designer Jessica Helgerson. Love the reddish orange and gray accents - bold and subtle. House Beautiful Magazine named her "one of the top 25 designers in America." View more of her lovely clean modern work here.

perfect cut

Makool Loves You is the online boutique for the Portland, Oregon clothing line, Makool. I heart this line as they offer playful, but well made clothes and the most colorful knickers! And the designers are just incredibly nice people, too. Do check out their fantastic site.

This beautiful plaid shirt is 100% virgin wool made locally in Pendleton, Oregon.  The virgin wool is super soft and luxurious like butter, not scratchy at all - as they describe this yummy piece. Perfect with some skinny jeans tucked into some buttery boots and I think I'd top it  off with a fun hat. Your take?

it’s just great stuff

I am a huge fan of the blog Grain Edit. The yummy posts come into my inbox daily. Dave, the editor, is now writing for Herman Miller's blog as well. He interviewed the fantastic artist Matte Stephens this week and posted an awesome tour of his studio. Read his post here.  I love Matte's quote, "Being able to live with and work with good design makes everything more efficient and it’s just great stuff."
