Our Journal — Behind the Scenes

Back in March, we had our very first Adored Vintage team retreat at the most special cottage and farm just outside of Portland, Oregon owned and ran by Eric and Laurie, two of the loveliest folks you'll ever meet. The cottage...

 In Fall of 2020 I started to really take the notion of starting my own clothing line seriously. It had always been something I wanted to try my hands at in the back of my mind, but timing never felt...

We haven't shared behind the scenes photos from any of our photoshoots in awhile, so during this week's photoshoot with our new model, Emily, we made a point to snap some photos of what our shoot days are like.  Shoot days at...

We are finally reopening our studio & showroom and I wanted to share some progress photos and some shopkeeper ponderings about reopening. Nearly a year ago we had reopened our retail shop on SE 2nd Street after being closed for...

The past few months have been quite busy behind the scenes here at Adored Vintage. Week after week I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude that this little shop o' mine grows steadily month after month. So often I look...

It is no secret that we love flowers here at Adored Vintage and due to a recent winter snow storm and seemingly endless weeks of rain to follow, we have been really craving Springtime blooms and blue skies and just a...

Dear Friends, Admittedly my head has been in the clouds as of late. My thoughts caught somewhere between dreams and plans, past and present, hopes and reality. It's that season in Portland where the rain is unceasing and it both...

On a quiet rainy afternoon in June, with Nina Simone in the background, I snapped these photos around the Adored Vintage shop and studio. I hugged the Taters. I walked around barefoot. I saw a couple gals try to come into the...

Hello! Hello! C'est moi, Rodellee, owner and founder of Adored Vintage back again with another Shop Scenes post! This month has been a busy little month for us here at Adored Vintage so I'm glad I was able to squeeze...

Oh goodness, it's a brand spanking new year dearies and this is my very first blog post of a brand spanking new decade! I didn't really have any sort of plans on what to post, other than I felt like...

Time has been an interesting companion these past few months. In many ways it seems just like yesterday that I chanced upon the availability of our new shop location (it was in early August) then signed a lengthy lease... and...

If I were to tell you I've now reached Master Yoda Level at multitasking, I would not be lying to you, I wouldn't even feel like I was being facetious. As someone who is often quite hard and critical of herself I...

Oh, hello. I was expecting your arrival. How did I know? Got good doggie senses, that's why! Maybe you knew this already, but I'm the real brains behind the whole Adored Vintage operation. My Mom just thinks she's the boss,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey guys, it's me again! Robert "Taters" Redford. I'm the best assistant in the whole wide world and right now I'm taking a quick break from all the hard work I have to do at Adored Vintage by letting you...
