Save the Date » Denim Swap at Nolita
by pearlgirl
Portland fashionistas have an opportunity to do good, and looking good doing it. Nolita , Portland's destination for premium denim and designer fashions, is holding its Denim Swap to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Columbia Northwest (BBBS) . Here's how it works: customers bring in their gently used denim (kids and adult sizes welcome) to Nolita November 3rd-17th and, in return, get $25 off the purchase of new jeans. People can donate as much denim as they like, but deal is good for up to three pairs of full-priced jeans. Nolita will then give those old jeans new life by donating the denim to Big Brothers Big Sisters. But Nolita is doing more than just collecting the jeans and passing them on to BBBS. They're also throwing a Big Denim Party for the kids at the store, filling their racks with the donated denim and letting the kids "shop" for their jeans in a high-end boutique atmosphere to make them feel special. Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors at-risk youth he

• Nike has always been about performance innovation for the benefit of the athlete, however, since we began measuring our environmental footprint back in 1998 we've gained insight into how we can innovate for the benefit of both the athlete and the environment.
• Nike's Considered philosophy is about combining product performance with environmental sustainability and giving consideration to how decisions made at the beginning of the product design process impacts sustainability at the other end.

Shop for the Cure at lucy
by pearlgirl
October is breast cancer awareness month, and lucy activewear offers two great ways to shop for the cure.

The short sleeve lucy® "Kick It Tee" features a signature lucy® kickboxer ($30.00), while the long sleeve "Pink Race Tee" features a signature lucy racer crossing the finish line ($38.00).

There's No Place Like Home—Matisse Moves Back to Broadway
by pearlgirl
There's no place like home. Just ask retailer Tracy Turbin. After 15 years on NE Broadway, she moved her boutique, Matisse , to the Pearl District in July 2007. We just learned that Turbin plans to move Matisse back to Broadway and hopes to re(re?)-open in October. No word on what precipitated the move, but we're sure that Broadway will be happy to have Matisse back home again—Pearl retailers are definitely sad to see it go. We're just glad that Matisse is staying open!!! Matisse 2424 N.E. Broadway 503.287.5414

Shop Talk – The Paper Station
by alex
I'm not a big fan of air travel (too many people in too small a space with too many bumps and mechanical noises!) but I am a big fan of the Portland airport. It's a nice, manageable size, clean and organized, and best of all, they have some great shops where you can easily kill some time if you're early for a flight or waiting for a loved one to arrive.I especially love The Paper Station – as the name implies they have a great selection of greeting cards and other paper products (I found the cutest graduation card there not too long ago).

Bishops rediscovers its soul
by shooter
After being closed for just a little over a month, Bishops has reopened its Pearl location as a barbershop. You may recall that Bishops announced it was closing the salon by sending a mannequin head and ransom note to The Mercury . There is no better way to admit a mistake than to use it to announce a change. The shop reopened on July 1st with little fanfare but the familiar look of Bishops. Stop by and get a cut and a beer.
