The Portland Collection Fall ’13

UnrulyThings-TPCFall13_1

you guys, I’m bursting with excitement to share with you a first look at the newest collection from Pendleton’s The Portland Collection.  it’s been almost a year since I left my job at Pendleton to start our new life in Bend and usually I’ve seen samples and peeks along the way for each collection.  but for this one, I’ve been out of the loop until this week.  a friend and former coworker emailed me these images just yesterday and oh my gosh… I’m obsessed!!  the latest collection is so sophisticated and classically Pendleton.  here are some of my favorite looks.

hello, hello, it’s me, mrs. french!  for those of you who don’t know me, i have a little blog called bliss.  i am such a fan of alyson’s, so when she asked me to guest post…of course, i said yes.

wednesdays on bliss, jennifer and lindsay post the most adorable items meant for, or centered around wee ones.  a few weeks ago jennifer did a feature on mint and since then, i see it everywhere.  i have actually, become a bit obsessed.  please allow me to indulge this obsession:
