How To Get Dressed

Amy Blanchard

Co-founder of cult vintage store James Rowland Shop, Amy Blanchard has been sourcing and curating vintage clothing for over twenty years.

As a personal stylist and self-expression coach, Blanchard spends her days working one-on-one with individuals who seek to refine their identity. After running JRS for thirteen years and ruminating on the psychology behind what we wear, Blanchard began to write down the conceptual framework for her approach to dressing, and authorship soon followed.

Blanchard lives in Portland, Oregon, where she manages the new by appointment James Rowland Shop and is currently working on her second book.

The ideal environment for paper-based items is a stable climate with minimal fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

As a general rule, we recommend storing your books and paper products where you reside in your home—think living room or bedroom, not the attic or basement.

To avoid fading and discoloration, keep your books and stationery out of direct sunlight and dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth or duster.

Always handle paper products with clean, dry hands to avoid staining from lotions and oils.

While upright storage is generally best for books and zines, oversized, heavy, or delicate items should lie flat.

Use bookends to prevent books from leaning when stored vertically.
