Welcome to April – and no fooling! With the Easter holiday landing today, we thought our new calendar would make you smile all month long.
Our brand new Pom Poms reminded us of cute little bunny tails (they’re so fluffy!) and we just love the range of colors. We thought this would be a sweet image to remind us of the first full month of Spring all April long.

Revel in the details of Renew, our latest collection of simple + sweet spring sweaters and tops!
Everywhere I look, daffodils are displaying themselves proudly against the backdrop of dark and stormy skies. Cherry blossoms adorn the path along the riverbank in downtown PDX, and the air smells sweetly of freshly opened buds. It’s Spring, and it is glorious!

The garments of Renew are similar to what I envision when I try to conceptualize my dream Spring wardrobe. Below are some of my very favorite pieces …
