Pour Porter Shop: Scarves!

December 14th, 2011

Scarves are one of those pieces of clothing that I seem to accumulate at a ridiculous pace. I’m one of those people who is constantly cold so scarves are pretty essential. Given our cold weather of late I’ve had scarves on the brain. If you ever happen to check out our Featured page on the Shop, you may have noticed that it changes every week and for the past two weeks I’ve rotated a few of the scarves we have on it. Brannan has the Hemingway and wears it daily, and I can attest to the softness and warmth of the Upstate scarves (flannel!). Anyway, the point of all this blah, blah, blah is to say – check out our scarf selection guys!

In other shop news, while we’ve sold out of quite a few of everyone’s favourites (all Kora pieces are officially sold now), we still have A LOT of good things left. I’m not planning on putting any new arrivals up until after the holidays (anyone else having information overload?) but we had a much bigger influx of A/W inventory this season, so you may have missed some things. I will be adding back a few past season pieces that are on sale next week. Have a great week everyone!

Blog Note: Fresh Perspective

November 28th, 2011

I don’t know about you guys, but to say I’m burned out on the internet and its endless cycle of memes would be an understatement. I’ve become really selective about what I read and make sure it’s content diverse. Also, now that we’ve managed to get the majority of our new arrivals finally up, I’m back to my own creative pursuits, which thankfully doesn’t require being on the computer for long stretches.

This isn’t to say I’m not still toodling around online I’m just trying to find things that haven’t been posted to death. Recently, through a random search, I came across the Library of Congress’s online Flickr account and their Photochrom Travel Views set featuring travel photos from 1890 – 1900 (Photochrom process described here). It’s seriously like a travel vacation for my eyes! While they don’t have a large selection of photos, what they do have is really nice, so be sure to have a look.
