Maternity Boutique Portland - Milagros

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Maternity Boutique PortlandMilagros is a new marketing partner of Popina.  Makes sense right?  Milagros sells products for baby’s and moms and Popina likes to dress mom’s in swimwear.  To celebrate our new found friendship Popina is going to pay a visit to the Milagros NE Portland Baby Boutique to put on a Swimwear Fashion Show for Mom’s!

Haven’t heard of Milagros?  Impossible! Milagros has been a Portland Baby Boutique since 2004 offering wonderful natural, fairly-made, and recycled products for families including Moby Wrap and Ergo Baby Carriers, Isabooties vegan shoes, cloth diapers, unique locally-made wood toys and clothing, and organic baby care products – from Earth Mama Angel Baby and Wild Carrot.

Milagros also carries maternity needs – including Bella Bands – and breastfeeding support products from Bravado, Medela and LilyPadz. To top it off, you will always find a wide selection of recycled maternity, nursing, baby, and kid clothes at Milagros.

From the beginning, the goal for Milagros has been to be more than just a fun place to shop. They strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere where families can feel at ease browsing for clothing, learning about attachment parenting, getting questions answered about cloth diapers and breastfeeding, or just hanging out and visiting.

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

With a mother who loves to sew, Erica began sewing at a young age. She entered her first outfit, a spatter painted top and skirt, in the Vermont State Fair and has been in love with the process of creating ever since.

Erica on her first day of school

After starting and running a polar fleece outerwear business in high school, Erica realized that having a clothing business was both challenging and rewarding. She graduated from Montana State University with a BFA in ‘Sculpture’ and a minor in ‘Clothing and Textiles’. Her sculptures, which were typically metal or a combination of found objects, often focused on clothing as she experimented with texture and form.
