Beloved Denwave, pioneer of the 811 E Burnside building, has been getting rid of their remaining merchandise (go fight over the scraps!), and tomorrow is the last day for good. They’re also offering up their store fixtures to the highest bidders, so go check those out as well. Otherwise, consider stopping by the store all day Saturday for treats and champagne, saying cheers to sad ends and exciting new beginnings.

Hey, what do you know, that photo was taken by Minh Tran.

The “one and only” Oscar night takes place this Sunday. Unfortunately, the red carpet usually overshadows the actual ceremony, so let’s a take a moment to acknowledge some of the amazing styling (and dresses) from the nominated movies.

(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)

(La Vie en Rose)

(Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

P.S. I’ll miss you Joan.

Have you seen the latest New York Magazine? It features a super creepy spread of Lindsay Lohan pretending to be Marilyn Monroe in a recreation of the “last sitting” photo session with Bert Stern, who also shot the original:

Check out the whole slideshow of outtakes here, and tell me if you think this means that in six weeks Lohan will die of an overdose.

Been poring over Style.com to see the new shows much? I have, and I have to say that clicking clicking clicking through the endless photos really makes it easy to recognize when something great jumps into view. To me, the best so far has got to be Raf Simons’ Jil Sander collection, the epitome of simple and cool.

There’s a new vintage store in town called Rad Summer (3611 SE Division). Open since November, it’s a co-op offering not just vintage clothes, but locally altered duds, limited pressing music, vintage bikes, and “spiritual vibed out books.” Check ‘em out next time you’re in the ‘hood, and in the meantime you can get a sense of their taste via the Rad Summer blog.

Hey, check out this fashion editorial slideshow shot by Minh Tran. It features some of my favorite recent pieces by locals Emily Katz, Genevieve Dellinger, and Souchi. Short and sweet, it provides a nice little backward glance at some of the past year’s greatest hits in local fashion—a year that saw Katz’s debut of her new, eponymous line, in which Dellinger made hard-not-to-notice strides in her design identity, and Souchi came into itself as a smart boutique beyond the line of signature cashmere.
