Bottles, Butts & Boots - at Nolita

2009-05-30T17:35:00.000-07:00

Bottles, Butts & Boots - A western-themed benefit party for Big Brothers Big Sisters, was held at Nolita on May 29, 2009. The party was the culmination of the larger "Nolita Denim Swap", which collected gently-used jeans to donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Widmer Brothers Brewery donated over 35,000 ounces of beer for the event! Guests had an opportunity to purchase one or more $10 tickets to draw from the "Widmer Wall of Beer", with products valued from $5-60. Several lucky folks went home with entire Widmer kegs! Party-goers were encouraged to wear jeans and western-themed attire. For $5, attendees could purchase a raffle ticket to win a brand-new pair of Nolita jeans!

The event was a great success! Every ticket for the Widmer-Wall-of-Beer was sold! And, over 100 tickets to the jeans raffle were sold! Every penny from the evening's proceeds went to Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia-Northwest.

Thank you to Just Out Magazine, Neighborhood Notes, Portland Mercury, everyone at Big Brothers Big Sisters, Explore the Pearl, Hudson Jeans, Seven for all Mankind, Kacey Montoya of KOIN Local 6, Kevin Coari of KPTV Fox 12, our friends, family, and customers ...and especially Widmer Brothers for making this event such a darn-good time!

Country Songs from the party - handpicked by music guru, Shannon Zweck

King Of The Road - Roger Miller
Don't Come home A Drinkin' With Lovin' On Your Mind - Loretta Lynn
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Stand By Your Man - Tammy Wynette
El Paso - Marty Robbins

2009-05-28T16:42:00.000-07:00

Good morning! Welcome to Nolita at 4:30am.

We now have donuts, bagels, coffee, and orange juice for any customers who arrive before dawn.

Its our new recession strategy!

Just kidding! The front doors at Nolita are always locked at 4:30am.

But on Thursday, May 28th, we opened early for a good cause.

Kacey Montoya from KOIN TV stopped by to talk about the upcoming Bottles, Butts, & Boots Party

(what do these three things have in common? A countrified denim fundraising party, that's what).

Rob Widmer, of Widmer Brothers Brewery, also took part in the morning's action.

Widmer is a great local Portland-based company (so great they were willing to raffle off 10 party-kegs,

10 mini-kegs, and 95 six-packs of Widmer beer to the Bottles, Butts & Boots party)!

That's more than 28,000 ounces of local, delicious beer!

Widmer Brewery celebrated its 25th Anniversary this year. Congratulations!

The shoot was a lot of fun. Tons of our favorite peeps were there,

including Kirsten from Outside Media, Tess and Lynn from Big Brothers Big Sisters,

Rob Widmer, and Kacey Montoya from KOIN.

Hey I guess mornings CAN be fun! Just as long as there's beer ...

alkemie jewelry: good as gold.

2009-05-16T13:37:00.000-07:00

-

During our last buying trip to Los Angeles, we were magnetically drawn into a small jewelry booth at a trade show. We were smitten by the earthy, rugged feel of Alkemie jewelry. Right away we started ordering pieces we liked. The curiosity-shop-inspired display (see photos top left) was irresistible.

Our instant attraction to Alkemie jewelry only became stronger when we met the designers, Dara and Ashley (a husband-and-wife duo). They explained Alkemie is forged from 100% reclaimed metal, including old bullet casings, and vintage chains. Alkemie is one of the most environmentally responsible lines of jewelry currently available in the world.

In fact, the negative impact from jewelry production has become surprisingly colossal in more recent years. The story behind Alkemie's metals has captured the attention of eco-conscious and green organizations everywhere.

Plus, their gorgeous designs and fine craftsmanship make Alkemie jewelry more art than accessory.

**All Alkemie jewelry is made in the USA from reclaimed metals. We have several styles in store, and more on the way. Please contact us for availability at nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

We know it's hard to say goodbye to jeans you love. That first pair of "designer jeans" you bought, that pair that fit 10 lbs. ago... pull those out of your closet. Bring 'em into Nolita, and give 'em away! (Giving them to us this month will feel "right", we promise). We'll pass them along to a child in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program! And since we know you need a little incentive (hey, don't we all) we'll give you 20% OFF a new pair! May 15-29, 2009.

Seven For All Mankind - Rocker - Vintage Honolulu

$229
The Rocker is a brand-new style from 7. It's a slim fit through the thigh and starts to flare below the knee. It is a new version of the classic bell-bottom jean.

Citizens Of Humanity - Riley Boyfriend - Digger
100% Cotton
$239

These boyfriend fit jeans are incredibly soft and super comfortable.

These jeans are perfect for lounging on the weekend or partying in your favorite pair of heels.

Citizens Of Humanity - Destiny Flap Flare - Pacific

98% Cotton, 2% Elastan

$209

It's the Citizens you know and love but with a new twist. These jeans have the styling of an old pair of Wranglers with a dark rinse wash and orange/brown contrast stitching. The combination of the flare leg and flap pockets gives the classic coloring an updated edge. They are really amazing on the butt, waaaay better than this picture can do justice.

Prairie Underground Spring 2009

2009-02-21T14:52:00.000-08:00

PRAIRIE UNDERGROUND
Spring 2009 @ nolita

Davora and Camilla have managed to steal our hearts yet again this season. They are introducing some really cute new styles this Spring! We really took our time deciding what color and style combinations were the very best. Sometimes we even lost sleep over it! If you find yourself debating over styles and colors, or if you want to place an order, shoot us an email at nolitaportland@hotmail.com or call 502.274.7114. As in seasons past, we offer FREE SHIPPING* on Prairie Underground. *FREE UPS GROUND ON BLOG PURCHASES OF $100 OR MORE

DREAMCATCHER JACKET
$259
Color: Graphite

We predict the wear-with-everything Dreamcatcher Jacket will be the next must-have item for any woman who already owns a Prairie Underground hoodie. It has the perfect drape, and it can be worn open, closed, cinched, or buttoned. It looks great with jeans, skirts, or leggings. We chose it in Graphite, for a dressier feel. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

VICTORIAN HOODIE

$198

Color: Natural

The new Victorian Hoodie is the answer for those of you who find the Short Cloak Hoodie a little too flared at the waist. The Victorian Hoodie fits like a "feminine bomber jacket". It has delicate lace trim lining the zipper instead of ruffles along the pockets. It does have the same hood as the Cloak Hoodies, and a full-length sleeve. We chose it in natural, so you can see all the details often lost in darker colors. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

JUMBO TOTES $239

Another Spring 2009 favorite: the Jumbo Totes! We freaked out when we saw our sales rep carrying the prototype of this bag last year. Prairie Underground's Jumbo Totes are made of a very substantial Organic hemp and cotton blend. The prints on them are just dynamic...and limited edition. The bottoms are reinforced with sturdy fabric. There are several interior pockets, and a clip inside makes it easy to expand for more room. So, here they finally are...for a fleeting moment, anyway. They did not produce very many, so these are sure to be collector's items.

Order one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

Above: Cracks Jumbo Tote

Above: Eyeballs Jumbo Tote

3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198
Color: Avocado

We couldn't resist one of their newest colors, Avocado, even though we typically like black and neutrals. We ordered it in the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak Hoodie, which is just enough color for us, but not too much. Think the inside of a fresh, ripe avocado, and that's the color it is in real life. We love the Avocado Cloak Hoodie worn with denim. Or cowboy boots, if you like that sort of thing. To order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198

or LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249

Color: Ink Pot

We fell in L-O-V-E with a color called Ink pot, a flattering-on-everyone dark purple. We were so smitten, we custom ordered it in both the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak and the Long Cloak Hoodie. Ink Pot goes well with both black and brown accessories! The purple is not too bright or overwhelming, and we know you'll be smitten, too. Ink Pot was offered in the Fall of 2008, but not many stores ordered it because the zipper was a bright contrast color. We asked, "Can Prairie Underground make the zipper darker?". They said yes! And, as a result, we are one of few stores with Ink Pot, and we like it that way. To order, email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

PRAIRIE HOODIE $219

Color: Natural

Of course, we'll always have the Signature Prairie Hoodie if you want (another) one. We think the new color natural looks fresh and light. You just may need to purchase this one...it goes with everything! If you're not "ready" for the natural, may we suggest the Olive? It was so popular last Fall, we ordered it again! Or, we usually also have black, grey, or brown in stock. Get one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249
Color: Drab

Sure, drab sounds boring...but it's everything but. Drab is a steely green-grey, like tormented, stormy skies. Drab is darker than last season's "Grey Flannel" and a bit greener than "Graphite". At first, you may not notice it. But then, it wins you over with its unexpected neutrality. If you'd like to order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.
