It has officially been a month since the Adored Vintage team has grown from two people to four! I am a bit in disbelief that this little hobby I started out of my living room is now a growing company with employees on payroll. I feel fancy. Anyhow, I digress... today I am so pleased to introduce you to Andrea "Andy", a fellow Hufflepuff like myself, and probably the only other person I've met who loves the movie Practical Magic as much as I do. Andy prettily packages your orders, corresponds with you through e-mail, and also assists in photography for social media content and...

One of the newest members to the Adored Vintage family is Nora and we are so pleased to introduce you to her! Nora has such an ease and good naturedness about her and radiates positive energy that we've really loved having her on our team.  Nora is one of our customer care advocates, prettily packages up your orders, and also helps out with inventory and merchandising at our petite shop Adored Vintage Mercantile inside Urbanite here in Portland. We asked Nora a couple of questions so we could all get to know her a bit better... If you could live in...

Here is a photo of my desk. I like to call it a pretty mess, rhyme with reason and lots of dried flowers. I have stacks of papers and books and what have you all over my desk. Usually a slice of cake, water, cups (yes plural) of coffee, a half eaten baguette... not exactly the image of minimalism or perfection, but I adore it all the same. Here in this little corner of the studio is where I spend most of my time at AV editing photos, listing products, updating the website, answering phone calls and emails from all the different...

Last June Adored Vintage started selling primarily modern vintage inspired clothing in the shop and last August was my first real go at a fashion convention! I attended a show in Vegas (one of the largest!) and it was so exciting (and scary) and so dang tiring! But I was so energized by seeing all the upcoming collections and meeting designers and brand and showroom reps. It really was like POWER SHOPPING. Next week we head off "To Market" which is the industry term for all of these fashion conventions that happen around the world. There are several markets that...

Was that right, did we really say film collaboration?  Yes! From the mighty seed of inspired conversation between us gals at the studio sprouted the makings of a passion project that we are so excited to share with you all. Devon, our studio assistant and email mistress extraordinaire, also happens to be an actor here in Portland. Rodellee, before founding AV, collected vintage and antiques in Los Angeles and worked on sets for fashion films and photo shoots as a stylist. Naturally, together we found ourselves dreaming of a way to bring life to a simple story—a story about the beauty in life's little pleasures, the...

We all know by now that what you see on people's social media accounts is the highlights reel of their life...and the same goes for businesses. What you see on the Adored Vintage Instagram are planned and curated images to tell the story of Adored Vintage, the brand.  I think it is equally important to share real life things too. So here are photos I snapped on a Saturday afternoon at the studio when it was just me working there. I didn't clean anything, I didn't move anything. Nothing was styled or propped. It was photographed exactly as is. You can...

The team at Adored Vintage is now an official team because there are actually two of us here now! Before it was just me! A big part of growing the company and finding gals to work alongside me is I want to bring on people that embody the AV girl spirit. Feminine, romantic, spirited, lover of beauty and creating beautiful things. I sat down with Ashe and asked her some questions so you can get to know her better! Describe your perfect Sunday? Waking up early and running a bath. Making a large mug of black tea with milk and...

Hi guys! I thought I would officially introduce myself as the newest member to the Adored Vintage team. My name is Robert Redford, but my Mom (I mean, my "boss") just calls me Red, though I'm more affectionately known as Taters because Mom says I look kind of like a tater tot. (I know, ruuude, but also, yum, I love tater tots!) I thought I'd start a little section here about the going ons at Adored Vintage because I'm here a lot and you probably don't know this, but I pretty much keep the ship running around here! I mean, Mom likes to think...
