New clu pieces! This avant garde fashion house suprises me every time by mixing silks and cottons and making them work! Check out the two tone number that looks like separates but is actually one dress.

This easy going, ultra comfy tank works well with jeans or under a sharp grey suit!

The arrival of Paul & Joe Sister

Parallel is estatic to bring Paul & Joe Sister to Portland! It is the contemporary line of the ever popular Paul & Joe by designer Sophie Aboud from France. Her clothes reflect her personality: active, vibrant, bubbly, and because she loves to travel, her pieces travel well. She has worked for Azzedine Alaia and therefore her clothes fit amazingly well. She has great dresses that hugs the hips and legs, but is roomy around the torso and waist, while still being extremely sexy. Here is a picture of me and my friend Stephanie wearing the same dress! It is great on all body types, short or tall.

House of Hengst

House of Hengst is sexy, sexy, sexy! I stumbled upon this brand while shopping in the Mission District of SF. I met Camilla as she was cutting fabric for an upcoming collection and begged them to sell to me! Their clothes always hugs the right curves and elongates the body. C'mon ladies, something we all need:). I was able to pick up this dress in cream and navy as well as some other pieces you will absolutely love. It is perfect for a spring wedding, or a night out on the town!

88 orange

I am so excited about this line, because I have personally met and absolutely love the designers!!! Andy and Heather are two cool cats that worked at the high end A'Maree's in Newport Beach and was constantly posed with the question, "Where can I find the perfect tee?". So, they decided to launch their own organic tee line, 88 orange. Heather's grandfather had an orange grove, and a perfect orange fits 88 in a crate. The name is a wink and nod to her grandparents(and they're in the picture as well!!!!). 88 orange knits are made from the finest organic yarns woven together to create light weight cozy t-shirts that are refined, sexy and ideal for layering. And, like we weren't sold already, the final laundering process is infused with a fresh orange blossom scent. How sweet is that?

Cassette

This jacket absolutely rocks!!!!! Have you heard of House of Cassette? We're carrying their men's and women's line. They are about funky, fresh fashion and are against the overhyped, overdesigned brands. This jacket is a knock off of a Balenciaga jacket at a fraction of the cost. Their upcoming Fall line is fabulous and it is coming to Parallel in September.....
