Portland Street Style

These cool kids were walking down SE Hawthorne and 21st when I spotted them from the road–we (my quasi-husband and I–he’s the IT guy) were on a scouting mission, and I made Evan pull over. “What am I going to say???” I asked.

“Just start running down the street yelling ‘Heeeeyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyooooooooouuuuuuuuu ggggggguuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyssssssssss.’ That’ll get them to stop.”

Needless to say, I got the pic. They are Daniel, Alexa, and Zecki, in that order. They gave me chocolate and thought I was joking when I said I wanted to take their photo for a style site. We traded websites–they’ve got two bands that you can hear on MySpace- Pregnant Music and zecki am sun, and if you like Four Tet, Mono, Brian Eno, Múm, and a whole lot of great original sounds, check them out. Anything post-rock, electronica, indie, and/or ambient is good in my book.

Alexa has a great handmade jacket by naik fur, which is a Sacramento-based label that you can find at Atelier, a vintage and handmade boutique and dressmaking studio. The work is done by Amy Hemmens, and as I myself am an avid fan, proponent, and creator of handmade work, I have to say that her pieces are beautiful.
