shopshop ‘til you drop in the pearl
Designer jeans? check. 19th century antique armoire? check. Custom letterpress stationary? check. The Pearl is a shopper’s paradise, offering the best furniture, clothing and everything in between. Here’s the latest news on sales, openings and more…

Hold Us a Spot in Line
We may be bargain hunters, but there are few sales we'd actually deem worthy of standing in a line just to enter. Actually, come to think of it, there's really only one: the Lucy warehouse sale.
We've always been huge fans of the Lucy store in the Pearl District (when you live in yoga pants, Lucy items are must-haves). Last year was our first Lucy warehouse sale experience. And it was overwhelming... in a good way. First, we pulled up thinking this was our little secret and it turns out half the city of Portland was there. The line wrapped down the block!
And while this sight would normally send us running for the nearest quaint boutique, we figured we'd give it a shot. Turns out, the line to get into the warehouse was a breeze and in less than 30 minutes we were walking out with enough workout attire to never wear the same yoga pants twice.
So this weekend the Lucy warehouse is holding a moving sale, which we anticipate will rank right up there with their other sales events. And unless one of you offers to save us a spot in line, we'll be lining up early outside the Lucy warehouse for as long as it takes to get inside! (It's a short trek from the Pearl, but trust us, the deals are worth it.)

Body Polish for Two, Please
Kanani Pearl is offering some delightful spa packages just in time for Valentine's Day. Take a look... the honey scrub and papaya pineapple polishes sound so nice!
If one of these packages doesn't fit the bill, Kanani Pearl will create a custom experience just for you and your sweetheart.
If you haven't been to Kanani yet, you're missing out. A friend of ours recently went for their Ashiatsu massage therapy and raved about it for days! (Ashiatsu involves the therapist "walking" on your back - great for deep work, but not limited to that.)
Kanani's treatments are getting so popular that owner John Cusack says they've begun offering expanded hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (9 a.m. - 8 p.m), making it easy for Pearl residents to drop by after work for a soothing end to their day.
Kanani Pearl is located at 1111 NW Marshall St. in the Pearl District.

Bringing "Architectural Elegance" to the Pearl
As the Pearl District has grown beyond its industrial-warehouse roots, it's inevitable that the unique artist lofts and one-of-a-kind living spaces are becoming harder and harder to come by. In fact, let's face it: it can be hard to tell one condo from the next if you don't take the step of putting your own personal touch and style into your home.
Well, a gorgeous new solution to the "cookie cutter" nature of condo design has arrived. Architectural Elegance, which recently opened in the Pearl Design Center, is a boutique-style showroom offering some very unique and high-end hardware. One look at their selection, and you'll want to start replacing the hardware on every kitchen, bath and cabinet surface in your place!
Architectural Elegance features hardware from all over the world, with product lines like Olivari door hardware and Lualdi doors from Italy. This designer's destination even manufactures their own bronze sinks, which are available in various styles and patinas.
Call to make an appointment, or just stop by the showroom, located on the corner of NW 15th and Raleigh in the new Pearl Design Center.

Happy New Year
We're back... thanks for all the sweet emails inquiring if we keeled over. In short: yes, nearly! But doesn't everyone during the holidays?
Lots of catching up to do and some fun news to share, starting with...
Shoe sale! Today through Jan. 13, get 20-70% off selected styles at Imelda's & Louie's Shoes, including some Dansko, Born and Kenneth Cole shoes.
Jeans sale! A major winter sale is happening now at Nolita with prices slashed throughout the store to make room for new stuff!

Smart Parking in the Pearl
As the holidays roll around, you can bet that parking in the Pearl will get a bit more crowded. No biggie for those of us with residential parking spots, but try having friends meet you for dinner or shopping, only to have them call exasperated after making a dozen unsuccessful loops around the block!
Luckily, in addition to the underground parking on the south end of the Pearl (near Whole Foods), the SmartPark at NW 9th and Marshall is coming in handy as the Pearl inches north. And some smart businesses, such as Kanani Pearl, are beginning to offer parking validation. (Kanani is located just 2 blocks from the garage.) Hopefully more Pearl businesses will follow suit.

Think You Got the Best Buns?
It's booty-shakin', picture-takin' time. Think you've got the greatest ass? Well, Pearl District boutique Nolita is gonna make you prove it. That's right, they're hosting a Best Butt Contest. We love it.
So slip on your favorite, most booty-licious pair of jeans, take a picture and enter your derrière. Just email your pic, along with your name and phone number, to bestjeansbutt@gmail.com by Nov. 12. Entries will be judged by 6 experts, including Marjorie Skinner of the Portland Mercury, Jonny Shultz of Q6 Model Management and Nolita's lead buyer, Katy Kippen. Katy tells us they've already gotten a ton of entries!
In addition to some pretty nice bragging rights, the winner of the Best Butt Contest will also get a premium-denim shopping spree at Nolita and a Brazilian-butt lifting class package from Core Essence Studios. Oh, and quite possibly the best prize: the top behind will be featured in the Nov. 22 issue of The Portland Mercury.
