Tumbleweed is a cozy, colorful, sizable boutique located at 1812 NE Alberta next to Tiger Tiger Salon. Kara, owner and designer, has run the shop since she opened it in Spring of 2000 and for the past three at this location. The shop was located just three doors down from it’s current location. Kara has two cute, friendly assistants Susan and Lesley who you may also see around the shop.

Kara is the designer behind the line Kara-Line. She was so kind to show us a SNEAK PREVIEW, which we are sharing with you of her March Collection. Each month she comes out with new pieces most of the patterns are the same, as well as one size, but she keeps it interesting and unique by changing up the fabrics monthly.

P.S. They have a huge SALE rack too!

Name: Mary Beers

Occupation: Stylist

Wearing: Brooklyn Industries sweater, Joie boots, BDG pants available at Urban Outfitters, Anna Corinna purse, and her boyfriends plaid shirt.

We spotted Mary on Alberta leaving lunch at Helser’s today. Her bright smile, colorful sweater, and not to mention her eye catching pretty woman boots, were enough to make our day shine even if it was raining. We also love that she is wearing her boyfriends plaid shirt, note to self steal boyfriends plaid shirts. This shouldn’t be hard for most women dating men in Portland, they LOVE plaid.

Mary Beers is a local stylist in Portland who we recently met while working on the local feature film “Bucksville”. She was a great sense of style and is so wonderful to work with! We are asking Mary to join the Scene PDX team so if you see her on the streets prepare to get your picture taken!
