The official reception doesn't happen until tomorrow, but you can stop by Nationale anytime through November 8 to see Anna Weber's paintings, drawings, and (of particular interest to me) necklaces. You may have encountered Weber's past work as a contributing costumer for Cartune Xprez and Mirah, and while many of her soft sculptures are wearable (a sperm suit, a squirrel suit, a giant rainbow beard, an entire set of internal organs), they are difficult to find an occasion for outside of performance art and Halloween unless you and I are going to very different parties. Necklaces like this, on the other hand, I can totally do:

Stop by the shop from 6-8 pm (don't forget to huff on some of the amazing small-batch fragrances they've got and maybe pick up some fabulously simple soap, mayonnaise in a tube, or one of the other many Francophilic delights) tomorrow evening for added schmoozing, and hop over to MOD for more local fashion and store happs, including coverage of Portland Fashion Week month.
