Dosha Swimwear Giveaway

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Dosha Salon Spa is having an awesome summer promotion and Popina is thrilled to be a partner.  Through Aug. 15 stop into any Dosha location to sign up for the chance to win a overnight trip for four in a 50′ Grand Banks Sailboat.

Scovare

The Yacht will be captained and provided by Scovare Expeditions.  Set sail from Sellwood at 6pm for a relaxing sunset cruise and then moor near downtown or off one of the Willamette Rivers Islands for a delicious dinner of grilled salmon or steak and a million dollar view to aid your digestion.  Enjoy the night sky from the deck of the 50′ yacht and then fall asleep to the gentle motion of being free from the ties of land.

Wake to a generous breakfast before sailing back to Sellwood to rejoin the world around 10am.

In addition to a sail, winners will receive gift certificates for swimwear at Popina.  AND Adelsheim Vineyards will be providing wine for the overnight trip.

So while we still have some summer left get into Dosha for a treatment and sign up for this great giveaway!

Fashion Show Portland - Swimwear!

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Popina will be having a Swimwear Portland Fashion Show at Vinideaus a NE Portland Wine Bar on Fremont tonight @ 7pm!  There are a number of great reasons to go to this event tonight:

1) Vinideaus is an awesome wine bar.  The owner’s Dominique (a native of the South of France) and his American Wife Dianne have created a little slice of the South of France for us to enjoy in Portland.  Not a very easy thing to pull off but they have done so in a very organic way.

2) Vinideaus has A/C and Portland is projecting a record all high time temperature high of 108.  How about some refreshing chilled white wine?

3) Beautiful women wearing Popina Retro Swimwear Fashions.

4) There will be a belly dancing segment.

Sunday Parkways Sale

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Sunday Parkways is happening today Sunday July 19th in Northeast Portland.  The route is a loop that goes as from NE 17th to NE Ainsworth to NE 47th and hits Alameda.  Part of the route will cross NE 42nd Avenue at NE Going, one block from Popina Swim the Portland Swimwear Boutique.

To celebrate Sunday Parkways Popina will offer 20% off for anyone making a purchase who rides on their bike and mentions this blog posting or twitter posting.  Be forewarned we do not have a lot of opportunities to lock up bikes yet (we are due to get new bike racks within the next couple of weeks).  However my husband Will said that he will be available for look out duty to keep an eye on all bikes parked in front of the shop that can not find a suitable lock up space.

Look for the Popina A-Frame sign that points you to the left when you cross NE 42nd Avenue!

Here is a picture of the front of Popina.
