I stopped to chat with these ladies on Exchange Street - in matching black pants and boots - true winter staples. They’re working in Portland for a month and were out “exploring the city”. Of course I told them to check out Fore Front Fashion in case they wanted to know where they should shop.
Hello boys! I chased down these well-dressed gents as they exited Starbucks to snap a group photo. I love the variety of styles here, from a trapper hat to a toggle cardi to chic sneaks, there was a lot of good going on. Unfortunately, these fellas were visiting from Boston. But don’t worry, I informed them that their city is not known for their style, though they might be the exception.
Look who it is! Portland’s very own Mandy, of Shop Grandma June, whose face is lighting up Starbucks ads in NYC! Congrats girl!

Motorcycle jackets, Burberry vests and leather - oh my! When the leaves start to turn in Maine, a plethora of knits, layers, and cold weather accessories (which we’ll be featuring on Monday) are on the streets. The crisp evenings require a sensible outerwear ensemble. These casual career folks were walking around Monument Square (a Starbucks in his hand, an orchid in her hand) and we stopped them to inquire about their accoutrements.
She, a Bay area native who has lived in Maine for seven years, wore a slim fitting motorcycle jacket. We’ve seen these all over Portland, from vintage steals at Find to jackets by Shoshanna at Chantal.
He, a Belfast native, layered a cozy Burberry vest over a purple hooded henley. We loved his Cole Haan loafers that he’s “broken in over the years.” He was also sporting a very manly rifle necklace by friend Leslie Shershow… a genuine Maine statement piece.
