Okay okay, I’m not actually going back to school…but…throw me a bone here, friends. With the crispness of the fall Portland air and the newfound inspiration in today’s studio work, I feel like I’m coming back. It’s that similar feeling to starting a new school year and wanting to impress with that fresh, blank-slate of a first day—in those nostalgia filled halls of new textbooks, new crushes, old loves and old looks.
Today I’m ready to start my new school year. I met with a new (for betsy & iya) store in Portland. One that I’ve adored from afar for some time now, but have been too busy/intimidated to approach: Radish Underground. I love everything about this shop. The two women genuises who created the sexy beast are no less impressive than their perfect storefront. I’m super excited to be a new addition to their store and I’m looking forward to continuing business with them…the sweetest gals on the block.

I like the back to school outfit, even if no classes are being attended. I’ve noticed all of the kids outside of PNCA (and they are kids – damn, college-age looks young) have been extra cute this month. I’m giving them until November to start going to class in the pajamas.
