Ahhh...Seaplane, you can fly over my ocean any day
At left are pieces from Holly Stalder's Spring 2008 line. I love the rich fabrics and modern shapes. Layers are still very in, eh? Just new and ever changing forms of layers. Stalder is a local Portland designer that is finding true design beauty in salvaged fabrics and trimmings. I discovered her designs through local independent design collective, Seaplane on NW 23rd. This store in itself calls to me with it's minimalist interior design, natural window displays and dressing room curtains made from layers of white vintage fabrics.
Seaplane design tip: Imperfectly paint vintage frames with white paint and hang them (empty) in a nice arrangement. Now, place nails into the wall space inside the frames and hang your jewelry on the nails. This would be so cute around a vanity. Instant art.

Planning Ahead...
So as I begin to look into a new living situation, my lease runs out in May, I am beginning to look into new furniture situations too. I already am positive about the table i am getting, The Docksta Dining Room Table from IKEA for $149. It is the
essential swedish modern piece, the perfect Tulip Table (with out the designer price tag).
The chairs though...that is where I am questioning myself. I do not want matchy matchy...not into that. So i am thinking either metal or wood. My favorite find so far is the French Metal Chair from Pottery Barn, but at $199 a piece they are a little out of my price range. I was really surprised to find something i like SO much at this store, but ofcourse, because of the price I am simply using them as insirpation and can't wait to find a more affordable used (i.e . GREENER) version. I DO LOVE THEM THOUGH. Tres Chic.
SO SAD I'M MISSING IT! (I'd be the one in the sequined g-string)
The Red Light’s Naked Shopping Spree

Here we go again!:
The Red Light Clothing Exchange, Portland’s celebrated buy-sell-trade men’s and women’s fashion emporium, will host their popular, annual Co-Ed Naked Shopping Spree at the Hawthorne store on Sunday, February 24. Four contestants (2 male, 2 female, chosen from hundreds of customer entries) will strip down to nothing* at 5 pm, then have three minutes to run through the 7500 sq. ft. store – in front of hundreds of onlookers — and put on as many clothes as possible. Whoever pulls on the most garments wins everything on their body plus a $100 Red Light gift card. (Prizes will also be given to first, second, and third runners up.)
Live music by Roll One kicks off the in-store event beginning at 3 pm, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the afternoon. According to Visuals Manager Ryan
White, “customer response to the Shopping Spree has been incredibly enthusiastic. We already have a record number of people entered for a chance to compete in it. And
we’re all really looking forward to it, because it’s like having a big party during store hours.”
Started in 1999, The Red Light Clothing Exchange is one of Portland’s most prominent independent businesses. It has been featured in numerous national and
international media; it was named by GQ as one of the 100 best independent shops in the country and dubbed by Lucky as their favorite shopping destination in the city.
The Red Light has downtown (333 SW 10th St.) and Hawthorne (3590 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) locations; the Naked Shopping Spree will take place at the Hawthorne store.
*Shy contestants may opt to wear a store-provided sequined G-string.
