Save the Dates - Blowout from the Suzabelle vault + Robert Leonard Holiday Shopping Fun!

The other day we were talking to Suzanne Jaberg, the chic queen behind Suzabelle, and she just happened to mention that she had boxes and boxes of designs from collections past that she had no idea what to do with... but guess what? We did! We offered to help her out in clearing some space, and that, lovely friends, is how we’re able to offer seven of this exquisite local designer’s fall/winter jackets and one fabulous dress to you at up to 75 percent off the original price!!! Stop by next weekend between Friday, November 5th and Sunday, November 7th to make some amazing scores!

Second up, we’re taking Show Pony on the road again, this time to the Robert Leonard Salon & Spa downtown for a Holiday Retail Extravaganza. This is a chance to get a jump start on your holiday shopping the best way there is—with wine, hors d’oeuvres and special discounts, of course! We’ll be loaded up to our eyelashes with great gifty stuff like Retro E Aprons and Glam purse holders; Tuesday, Paula Bianco and Emilime scarves; jewelry from Bijoudally, Grayling, Yed Omi, Wax Insignia and more; handbags, body and beauty treats; killer duds from Butter by Nadia, Prairie Underground, Dru’s Design, Kensie and more of the season’s best styles. If it sounds like we’re bringing the whole store, minus 15 percent off everything, we practically are.

So mark your calendars!

Wax Insignia Pendants... Confession Time!

We’re total suckers for historical fiction and period movies. I know we should all be glad we live in a modern world with modern conveniences like plumbing and don’t have to worry about catching the Bubonic Plague. But just once I wouldn’t mind running down the corridor of a dark castle lit by torches in a 200-pound gown cinched so tight around my ribs I could faint at any moment but no I must stop my beloved from galloping across the moat to a certain and gory death... That will probably never happen, but that’s why we love our new necklaces from Wax Insignia. These pendants are inspired by the tradition of finishing letters with a wax seal that speaks to who you are or what you believe (like a fair maiden sealing a parchment written by candlelight telling her prince that the King has fallen ill and it’s his most trusted advisor who is poisoning him!). Made from silver and brass, they’re hand cast and antiqued by a family of Italian artisans in Florence using molds that have existed for generations. They’re romantic yet casual, they make a great gift, and you won’t even be beheaded for wearing one.

Ohhh Yes! More to Desire

We’ve been carrying Portland designer Lauren Harkness’s luscious Desire Rings for some time now and already knew this lady knows how to make one bodacious bauble. But with the new line of necklaces she just brought us, we’ve completely lost our marbles (and silly Pushkin is chasing them all over the darn floor!). Her combinations of raw silk, semi-precious gems and chain are a mixed-media party, a melting pot of sweet and savory elements that feel like they were always meant to be together, like chocolate-covered potato chips or when really rockin’ bands used to go on MTV Unplugged and perform so tenderly we’d all cry like little girls. Lauren is a former Seattleite who now works out of Portland, and she’s one of those artists who is always one step ahead of what’s going to turn heads. These gorgeous, tactile pieces look equally amazing layered over a simple cotton t-shirt as they do accenting a silky evening dress. No matter what, they’re a statement no one can ignore!

Happy Weekend + New Revival Ink

It’s going to be a great weekend, we can feel it. For starters, we just got three new designs from Tara Smith, our favorite screenprint goddess at Revival Ink and we pretty much plan to spend the next 48 hours in the comfiest, softest, cutest lounge wear this side of Monday. Her new Rose Petal pullover in eco-heather has the perfect combination of stretch and slouch. And since we’re so in love with this whimsical new design we couldn't decide if we wanted it warm and cozy or light and layerable, so we got both! Tara’s new Butterfly Yoga Pant is just as dreamy—the shimmery butterfly print down one leg adds the perfect little “hi, there!” to your workout (and yes, channel surfing counts).

Revival Ink has long been a staple of our store—Tara’s original design work, handprinted attention to every soft, wearable detail and her focus on eco-friendly materials embody everything we love about the wonderful local talent surrounding us.
