Valentine’s Gift Ideas
To help make Valentine's Day shopping a little less painful for guys and gals, here's some gift ideas for lovers, friends, mothers, daughters, hairstylists, or anyone you think deserves a little something special (even yourself, we won't judge).
House of Harlow Black Leather Triangle Locket. Stick a cute picture of your face in there to make her smile. Or if you really want to make her swoon, put in a picture of her dog's face. Heart = melted.
Jelly Bath (available in multiple scents). Give this heavenly, fluffy bath soak along side a bottle of champagne and you just might be deemed the best gift giver ever. Be careful though, it's a serious title to uphold.
Prairie Underground Long Cloak Hoodie in Wild Orchid. Skip the roses and get her a wild orchid. See what we did there?
Low Luv x Erin Wasson Gold Plated Arrowhead Necklace. Cupid's arrows won't be able to compete with this sexy pendant necklace.
And if for some reason she doesn't already think you're the sweetest, some red velvet from Saint Cupcake ought to do the trick.
If you're in the Portland or surrounding area, you can speed up the gift buying process by placing an order over the phone with us and pay no shipping fees by picking up in-store or we can deliver to your door, depending on the location. We'd be happy to work something out, so just give us a call (503) 505-7424 or shoot us an email at hello@shopadorn.com!
Friday Link Love
Happy Friday! The sun is shining here in Portland and if that doesn't put you in a good mood then you might want to reevaluate your life. Kidding... But really, it's gorgeous outside. Aside from the weather, (a favorite subject of Oregonians), here's some links that I loved this week that sparked some inspiration, some laughs, and in general put a smile on my face.
Loving the anorak for a light spring jacket. Get the look with the RVCA Shipwrecked Jacket.
Just what we need… organization! A fun file folder craft that’s quick and easy for the DIY challenged such as myself.
How to wear black and white without looking like a waiter.
The best part of the Super Bowl... finger foods.
I want to leave these unconventional Valentine's anonymously on my friends' desks and doorsteps.
This might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s also exactly how I feel in the mornings after that first cup of coffee.
A more creative approach to raise money for school programs: custom designed Vans. Love the crocheted pair!
My favorite cookie, Valentine’s Day edition.
Store Rebuild Progress
The official rebuild has begun! We’ve got professionals in there ripping, tearing, gutting, hammering, rewiring… you name it! We wanted to document the rebuild process for our customers and supporters because you’re the reason we want to make it all happen. We're shooting for a re-open date in the beginning of April, but until then, you can track the progress here!
While it may not be the most uplifting sight, there’s an air of determination and drive in the Shop Adorn atmosphere. With a brand new canvas to work with, we've been exploding with ideas. We love feed back from our customers and want you to be a part of the process. So keep an eye on our DIY Boutique Buildout board on Pinterest, where we'll be pinning ideas we like for the store. Don't hold back on what you like and don't like, we want to build a store that you'll love!
So while the brick and mortar may be closed for a couple months, we haven’t stopped pushing forward. New and promising ventures are upon us, including a new online storefront. We’re hoping for a seamless transition and creating a place that you'll find yourself wanting to visit again and again. We're getting pretty excited to share it with you!
So please excuse any hiccups along the way, as we're learning and understanding more everyday. We cannot express how much we appreciate the support and kind words- they really do lift our spirits and make this process that much better knowing what great friends we have by our side. Wish us luck!
XO,
Shop Adorn
The Portland Collection – It’s Back!
We’ve waited (im)patiently and after getting ahold of the 2012 The Portland Collection look book, it was well worth it. Everything we love about TPC is back in full force and even better than before, it you can believe it. We can’t say much yet, but the folks at Pendleton and TPC designers outdid themselves.
The anticipation to show you these photos is killing us; like waiting for Christmas morning after spotting all of the wrapped presents under the tree. But trust us – you should be getting excited too.
Stay tuned for updates and sneak peeks, which we will share with you as soon as we get the OK from our friends at True Collaborative Fashion.

Winter to Spring: 1, 2, 3, Go!
Getting sick of wearing pants yet? Are you ready to retire your winter duds for the season? Well it’s never too early to start easing into warmer clothes, just start out with some baby steps.
This outfit: a super adorable Prairie Underground Stripe Art Poncho, comfy Hardtail Leggings, elegant House of Harlow Triangle Locket and House of Harlow Spike and Cone Ring, to die for Jeffrey Campbell Boots, and a Prairie Underground Short Raincloak in Red.
Stripes are timeless and an easy way to add an aesthetic element amongst the typical sea of dark, winter solids. Layering with leggings is key to stay warm, look polished and saves the need to shave your legs. No shave January anyone? Hey- a girl can dream! Finish with some simple jewelry, tall boots, a rain coat (just in case!) and you’re out the door. Voila! A practical, yet stylish way to transition into your Spring wardrobe.
