Clothing Boutique Alberta Portland - Tumbleweed

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Clothing Boutique Alberta Portland - Tumbleweed is the inspiration of the Portland Clothing Designer Kara Larson.  Tumbleweed features Kara’s Portland Clothing Line Kara-Line which are simple, romantic and timeless.  Kara-Line Dresses drape your body, leaving something to the imagination.  Tumbleweed has also evolved into a great Portland Gift Store.Kara Larson began humbly sewing in her sister’s garage, selling her dresses from a clothing line in her back yard or out of a suitcase while on the road. Nothing is traditional for this gal. With a flair for making dresses, Kara created an entire line for women, and the Wild Carrots line for little gals (and guys).

Loving her hometown of Portland, Oregon, Kara decided to put down some roots. In the spring of 2000 she opened her Alberta Boutique called Tumbleweed.

Inspired by her young son, in the fall of 2004 she opened her latest venture, a whimsical Portland Children’s Shop with toys clothes and books called Grasshopper.

Though life and business is thriving, she still creates a laid back atmosphere that makes you feel like your stepping into a dressing room when you walk into Tumbleweed. Her dresses hang on the racks accompanied by other designer’s offerings.

“You can get just about anything a gal would love.” Kara explains, “We offer beautiful clothes for everyday life. I feel you should be able to wear a dress strolling down the aisle of grocery store then off to a wedding.”

So if you would like to get in touch with Kara regarding any info on ordering kara-line dresses or just to say howdy, you can email her at kara@tumbleweedboutique.com

Wedding Dresses Portland, Oregon - Silver Lining Bridal

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Need Wedding Dresses in Portland, Oregon  Silver Lining Bridal needs to be your first stop.   There are a handful of Bridal Shops in Portland, Oregon however none have the selection of Pronovias in  Portland, Oregon like Silver Lining, and if you are a bride to be you know Pronovias Bridal Gowns are what every bride dreams for.  

The Portland, Oregon Bridal Boutique is breathtaking, it is awesome to look around to see all their dresses on display and with ample space to move around.   Believe me this is a rarity, typically bridal shops keep their dresses inside plastic bags and are so packed together that you can barely see what they look like.

Silver Lining not only has beautiful dresses but very nice accessories and jewelery as well.  Also a great selection of Couture Bridal in Portland for the smaller size of our city.
