- Beauty product and makeup superstore Sephora finally decided to open a location in downtown Portland.

- Pendleton's Portland Collection got love in the glossies.

- Plus photos from new designer and store lookbooks, news and gossip from the local fashion and retail industry, 10 new events to put in your calendar, and seven ways to shop for less.

The next few weeks are chockablock with fashion and retail events all over town. Don't miss a thing.
