My fellow blogger friend Erika recently introduced me to the brand Cuyana, which is a San Francisco label focused on women’s apparel and handbags. Their philosophy is “fewer, better things” which is something I definitely aspire to. I don’t always succeed at it, especially with a 1 year old in the house! I love the idea of investing in careful selected, quality items that are made to last (and maybe even be handed down through the family). But sometimes life hits and you just need a $5 shirt that can get stained and spit up on and that’s ok too. There’s some middle ground there and I think that’s where I am looking get to.
Cuyana has a pop-up shop this weekend at the Spartan Shop in SE Portland! You can shop Cuyana essentials with complimentary live monogramming all weekend. Enjoy tea from Tea Bar (my favourite tea spot in the city) on Saturday morning, and one person each day will win a beauty gift set courtesy of LeVert Beauty and Cuyana. Skip to the bottom for all the dates, times and details! I didn’t have a chance to try on any of the clothing (shown above) but that striped peachy top is calling to me!
Look at these handbags! <3
This is a luxury line to be sure, but their aesthetic is so sleek and minimal it could align with every personal style. I wear mine with Vans, jeans and a t-shirt but I could easily dress it up too. All the blush pinks and nude colours are so gorgeous.
Spartan Shop is hosting this pop-up and I had never been before so this event was the perfect opportunity to drop in. I’ll have to come back again without Piper because while everything in this boutique is beautifully curated and super pretty, it’s also all at kid level. Toddlers + shiny things = trouble. Treat yourself and come sans the kiddos, trust me 🙂

I decided to set her free and while this look of wonder is pretty adorable I quickly realized she wanted to put all the beautiful handmade jewelry in her mouth so…back in the carrier she went!

Piper was not happy about being back in the carrier. This photo is in a mirror that was kind of warped so the photo looks a little wonky but it was the only picture of Piper and I together so OH WELL!
If you want to stop by the Cuyana pop-up this weekend it’s still around Saturday and Sunday!
- Saturday: 10am – 6pm
- Sunday: 12 – 5pm
- Spartan Shop | 210 SE Grand Ave

Me too! I don’t mind labels or logos but I love that these brand doesn’t have any. It just looks so sleek and modern!
Andrea says
Your photos are beautiful Megan! I agree, there is definitely a level of balance that goes into subscribing to the fewer, better mentality. Excited to hear more thoughts from you on this in the future!
