AMANDA

Amanda is our Manager at the NE Broadway store. She originally hails from New England and grew up in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. She is one of our tour-de-force display creators, and relishes every opportunity to put together an entire outfit for one of our shoppers. She loves working at HWGA because she can dream and find inspiration from our fashionably wonderful customers and consignors. Unusual for a New Englander, she loves her spicy food and is frequently seen at various burrito carts in Portland getting her fix. Her idea of a perfect day would be sunny, with sweets for breakfast and a day to spend outdoors, taking advantage of hiking in Forest Park, capped with an evening filled with music and friends! Amanda may be wiry, but don't mess with her, she studies Shaolin Kung Fu!

   

ANNA

Our Social Media maven and photographer, Anna, was born on the East Coast and spent time living in the Midwest (Indiana and Chicago), Austria and Germany before moving to Portland in 1999. Style and fashion are totally different things, Anna has discovered. As a result, she has created her own style inspired by history, European street trends, Italian designers like Roberto Cavalli and by making her own jewelry. Anna loves all foods, especially her Omama's stuffed peppers and her Granny's butterscotch pie. She loves staying connected to customers by managing the HWGA Twitter and Facebook accounts when she's not in the store.

   

AUDRA

Audra is a SoCal gal from San Diego and aspiring nurse midwife. She connects deeply with power designers like Marc Jacobs and Max Azria. She also loves the whimsical Anthropologie brands. In her free time, you'll find Audra at a park having a Vegan Mexican food picnic with her pooch, a Great Dane. Audra is a labor doula, so it's no wonder she's a great listener and gives good advice. Incidentally, three wonderful skills that ensure she will birth just the right outfit for your style and needs!

   

CaMICHA

CaMicha does know the way to San Jose, 'cuz that's where she's from! She admires and emulates Jackie O.--her role model, but with CaMicha's own personal twist applied. She's passionate about dance and all things dance-related. In her life outside HWGA, she also dances professionally. She loves sushi and her two awesome cats. (Coincidence? We think not!) She'd like to add that she also loves ANYTHING that her mom makes her to eat. Her leisure time is spent dancing, having coffee with her friends, shopping (see a trend here?) or watching movies. Her deepest, darkest secret is that she loves to play "pretend rock star" when she's getting ready in the morning, although, of course now, it's no longer a secret! Also, she's weirdly obsessed with her chapstick and cannot even think of living without it! CaMicha joins us after the careful tutelage of Nancy Kneisel, owner of Second Glance in Corvallis and a close personal friend of Chris's, so she's a seasoned resale pro and has hit the ground running.

   

CHRIS

Born and raised in Nebraska (how midwest can you get?) Chris moved to Portland in 1990 with her adored husband and cats. She lives in Southeast Portland and since relocating to the west coast, finally feels that she's with her people. She is a mad, impetuous gardener and a complete leaf freak. HWGA is family to her and she's made dear friends with many customers, vendors and staff members. She's truly grateful for the warmth and good wishes she receives from customers and consignors. Chris wants HWGA to continue to grow and evolve, and finds it a delightful challenge to reinvent her business each day.

   

CORDELIA

Cordelia was born and raised here in Portland, Oregon. When she isn't traveling or speaking Spanish, you can find her hiking in the Gorge, listening to music, practicing yoga or dancing, but not necessarily all at the same time. It's no wonder her buddies admire her free-spirited and spontaneous nature! After one of those long hikes, you can probably find Cordelia refueling on Thai food, her most beloved cuisine. Cordelia's dream is to one day open her own yoga studio and have everyone practicing in gear designed by Betsey Johnson and Diane von Furstenberg.

   

KATHY

Kathy is another Midwesterner, a Nebraskan, to be exact. She's lived in Iowa, Minnesota and Colorado before moving to Portland. She is no stranger to the consignment camp: she worked at a resale shop in Omaha and her aunt owns a consignment store as well. As a young(er) girl, she loved to dress up and put on her mom's heels, wigs and of course, lipstick! What girl doesn't love to dress up with their continental consignment finds nowadays? Her favorite colors are black, grey, dark brown and cream, but she will always find room in her wardrobe for colorful Missoni. Her favorite designer is Diane von Furstenberg and feels there is nothing classier than the wrap dress she invented. Kathy also loves thumbing through fashion magazines for inspiration. Kathy is an experienced teacher and would love to teach or coach at the high school level. But in the meantime, she very much enjoys working at Here We Go Again and spending time with her two children, husband and golden retriever.

   

MICALAH

Micalah's a southerner--she's from Medford! She loves to see how regular people on the street put together their own fashion "look" and draws inspiration for her own style from that eclectic mix. Audrey Hepburn and Sex in the City are other influences to what's in her closet. She still likes to play "dress-up" when nobody's around! In her free time, she also enjoys photography and going out for coffee with her friends. They enjoy her open-mindedness, patience and good listening skills (plus it doesn't hurt that she likes to bake! ) Her fave-rave food is raspberries! Micalah's a student in graphic design and plans to someday pursue a career in commercial design.
