Buy PDX: Bluemercury Opening, Frances May Moves, Nike and Adidas Launch Groundbreaking Lines

Bluemercury is opening a second Portland location in the Pearl District on NW Couch street, across from Powells. â€Following in the footsteps of its well-received Bridgeport Village location, Bluemercury will be expanding its Portland presence,” Allix Wright said. If Bridgeport Village's swanky reputation don't tip you off; this stuff isn't cheap. Macy’s recently acquired the luxury beauty product supplier for $205 million. In addition to new locations they are also expanding their M-61 skincare brand, loved for it's natural ingredients. 

Frances May moved. Well they’ve been open since November in the new space on the corner of SW Washington and 10th, but this will be their first seasonal launch, featuring new window displays, spring pieces in from APC, Osei Duro, Jesse Kamm, and Patrik Ervell, Frances May is the quintessential high-end boutique Portland’s best dressed will be flocking to this season.

Portland’s fashion buzzword--utility.

Following the Yeezy 750 Boost’s sold-out release, Adidas announced it’s full Kanye clothing line called “Season 1.” Lookbooks for the insanely hyped Adidas collab were leaked but it's official release isn't until Fall 2015. Even with hopes from high-end menswear boutique Machus, there were no in-store releases of the shoe in Portland, so it’s doubtful the clothing line will see any Pacific Northwest soil except when Kanye visits Adidas himself.
