We love Russel and Brittany's minimalist look. With Brittany in monochrome, and Russel in mixed neutrals, the pair looks simply perfect for a Saturday stroll on Mississippi.
Maya, shopping at Reading Frenzy, wears a Seiko watch with a casual vintage outfit and Tivas. "It's an easy step to dress up outfits," she told us, so she wears it to work every day.
We spotted Isabel right off the bat with her adorable haircut, frock, and chunky platforms. We can't even choose a favorite part of this look!
Perhaps you came to our unveiling last Saturday or perhaps you've noticed our absence from Alberta St. Either way its official: we've moved to Mississippi Ave. and we are so happy to be here.
So far we have discovered a community of wonderful neighboring businesses (stay tuned for Backtalk's Portland favorites guide) and lots of encouraging enthusiasm from Mississippi customers. After weeks of building the new space, we were excited to share it with you, and after only a few days in business, 3962 Mississippi Ave. already feels like home.
And did we mention our recent addition of designer Alexa Stark to the Backtalk team? Yes, Katie and I are pleased to welcome this Portland-based by way of New York garment magician in to our space. You can now find her sharp designs and charming smile as permanent Backtalk fixtures.
If you missed our opening festivities please come visit the new digs. You can also browse these lovely photos of the new space, courtesy of Lavenda Memory (whose portrait series is currently showing at our space) and Cory Betts.
Backtalk sends big love to everyone who has been involved in our developments. See you soon.
Jocelyn is a near, dear friend of Backtalk by way of Oakland. She recently took a week-long jaunt to Portland with pal Kate and the two took a moment to stop by the shop before journeying back down the West Coast.
Both of these ladies are completely outfitted in vintage, from knit caps to their trusty leather boots and demonstrate how to layer prints, Kate in brights and Jocelyn in neutrals. Miss you Jocelyn!
Virgine Millefiori is a NYC-based jewelry designer by way of France whose delicate designs are created for "whimsical people". Inspired by poetry, nature and wordplay each piece is small, detailed and a little bit magical.
While we can appreciate whimsy at Backtalk, we love minimal elegance and these Millefiori rings that just arrived in shop encompass both of those aesthetics in the very best way. One ring creates a sweet simplicity or you can stack them for more statement and color.
Each ring is gold plated and, true to Backtalk's code of honor, 100% handmade by the designer. Size 5,6,7
Come wear them your way at BACKTALK. $30. Available at the shop, if you'd like to order online please email [email protected] with color/size/quantity preference! The perfect gift!
