Paddywax Candles

My boyfriend’s birthday is at the end of the month, and when I ordered part of his gift on Amazon I also splurged for myself and ordered a couple of PaddyWax candles. During those first spring months, one of my favorite things to do is turn up my MP3 player, open up the windows, and [...]

A Sneak Peak

March 16, 2009

Outfit by Deco-Modiste

I was going to wait to make a post about Friday and Saturday’s showroom sale – I haven’t taken photos of all of the awesome outfits I got – but then Birdie, jewelry maker and marketing guru for Deco-Modiste, sent me the few pictures we had a chance to take during the sale: I think [...]

I spent the evening at Neumo’s (a club in Seattle) dancing to local hip hop group the Blue Scholars. What did I wear, you ask? Well, my organic cotton sweatshirt by Eco-ganik, of course. (It was surprisingly easy to dance in, and I felt totally comfortable moving in it. Plus, because it’s so well-made, I [...]

Showroom Sale

Seattlites! Did you know that there’s a showroom sale going on today and tomorrow in Georgetown? I can’t wait to see what’s available. There’s going to be tons of totally local, totally indie talent there, including the host of the event, Deco-Modiste: I love those pretty sailor pockets, and the pastel colors are great for [...]

Carol Wide Leg Pant by Saint Grace

At first I thought these were sold out, but it turns out there are a few left…and I couldn’t resist: Turquoise! I know, it’s a little crazy, and I promise that they’re also still available in chocolate brown (as well as raspberry, which I think is even crazier than turquoise). They were marked down to [...]

Scoop Tank w/ Sheering - Saint Grace

When I was notified of another secret sale featuring designer Saint Grace, I had no idea that its owner, Quinn Thompson, grew up just a few miles from me in Washington’s capitol, Olympia.  (Nope, the capitol isn’t Seattle.  We’re tricky up here in the PacNW.)  Even though his line has been called “a true Southern [...]

Birdhouse by Bearpaw Rustics

When we moved to the south end of Seattle a year ago, the thing that shocked me was how hidden our house seemed, and how all of the wild creatures in the entire city seemed to take advantage of that fact. In the past year I’ve watched complicated squirrel games (they love to climb our [...]

Stems

March 6, 2009

I’m so, so excited that off-the-wall legwear is starting to make a play for the fashion spotlight. From tights to knee-high socks to leg warmers (which I’m less excited about – Flashdance, anyone?) there’s been a resurgence of funky ways to cover your stems. Once I saw a few independent designers start working with this [...]

Ruffled Pants - $60

I made those two posts last night while wearing my awesome new Eco-Ganik sweatshirt, a sexy blue bra, and…um…plaid pajama pants. I was totally comfortably sexy, but only from the waist up. I also own pair of corporate-whored yoga pants that make my butt look awesome and a pair of cute skate shoes, but other [...]

Impish Whisper Jumper - M641

Every time I see a great deal on something fashion-related I’m reminded of one thing: I need to do my taxes. I’m getting money back, so what am I waiting for? Some of what I’m coveting comes from the swanky ladies at Madras 641. It’s a US company started in 2007, and they’ve grown so [...]
