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!

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.

Winter’s Favorite Accessory

With the holidays over and the New Year starting off with a blaze (pun intended?), there is much to look forward to as we trudge through the dreary days of winter. Call me crazy, but I’ve already pulled out my sunny weather wardrobe in anticipation for those first warm rays to hit.  Who cares if temperatures will more than likely be hovering just above freezing? That’s what tights were invented for. And we’re in luck that layering is huge this season. But there is one summer item that’s entirley appropriate in the dead of winter and it’s sunglasses. Whether they’re protecting you from bright sunrays or (let’s be honest) extremely pale skin, sunglasses are a practical and functional accessory that won’t be covered up by your giant parka.

The frames to covet this season are House of Harlow 1960 Sunglasses. From the queen of oversized sunglasses, Nicole Richie has hit a bulls eye with her stylish collection of shades. The line features her own updated versions of classic, retro styles in trendy colors.

A Shop Adorn bestseller, the Chelsea Sunglasses in Black, on Nicole Richie. These modern day cat-eye style shades are the perfect big sunglasses to compliment any look.

And with Spring Break vacations coming up, you'll need a fabulous pair of shades whether you're lounging on the beach or heading to the mountains. Rock some House of Harlow sunglasses and you'll be guaranteed celeb-approved style.

Friday Giveaway: House of Harlow 1960

It's the last Friday of 2011 and what better way to go out with a bang than with some celeb approved style? Channel your inner Nicole Richie by rocking some House of Harlow 1960! Brought to you by the style maven herself, Richie's jewelry line is equal parts edgy and trendy with a dash of fanfare. Categorizing House of Harlow jewelry as one particular style would be near impossible. It's better to think of the line as a brilliant collision of bohemian meets tribal meets cocktail jewelry. Whatever you want to call it, there's no doubt that this is one fierce collection of statement pieces. And we'd like to share it with you!

We're giving one lucky gal a ring of her choice from House of Harlow 1960! To enter, choose your favorite of these five rings and comment below with your pick and ring size.

 

 

 

You have until Sunday, Jan 1 at midnight to enter the giveaway. We'll select an entry at random and announce the winner on Monday. Good luck and have a safe and happy New Year!
