urban luxe translates to ‘military olive drab with sparkle and a pop of red’. there were several pieces in this set that i’d sell a kidney for. those tall chanel (looking?) boots? yes. that bright red scarf. the cape like luxe looking thing that billowed and looked sumptuous… okay. apparently my style this fall is urban luxe. for all the shots from this set click Read more
i wasn’t as into this as i thought i’d be. i tend to like classic. i don’t know… maybe it was the coming and going models, and having to swap camera settings every two seconds.. there were a few items i liked, but you’ll have to excuse the blurred photos. this section of the show was… challenging. i did the best i could. for *most* of the photos from american sportswear click Read more
and last, but not least, lanvin. solid sheath type dresses… with some sheen at the end. all in all, a very sedate show. but who doesn’t love to see all the pretty clothes? thank you to nordstrom for having me… next big fashion shows are bellevue fashion week, and fashion first.
the largest collection shown in the show, i thought gucci offered the best menswear. sorry about the miss (about half-way down), late arrivals blocked my shot. for all of the gucci images, be sure to click Read more
so pretty, so feminine, and i am in LOVE with that statement necklace (oscar also had the best gowns, by far, of the show)! odlr knows the shape of women… if you’ve ever tried on any of his clothes, they fit amazingly… for all the oscar de la renta photos, click Read more
some pretty color, but overall, not my favourite. for all the donna karan photos, click Read more
another small collection. i thought these boots were pretty sexy. i’m looking for a brown thigh high pair for fall. for all the burberry photos, click Read more
i try to keep the posting positive on n+t… that being said, i’m not all that big a fan of michael kors. to each, his own. for all the michael kors shots, click Read more
dries is another great mixer of pattern and texture. you can see examples of it in their full paris show. i was interested to see, considering fall10 trends, that none of that o.d. green color made it to the nordstrom runway, and also any of their retro dress shapes. i’m assuming some of it will be on the nordstrom sales floor? for all the dries images, be sure to click Read more
stella’s one shoulder dresses were so pretty… i’m liking that style more and more. also, some great pops of color. for all of the stella shots, in order, be sure to click Read more
versace had some of the color in the show… so nice breaking up all the black and grey. what were your favourites? for the rest of the versace photos, in order, click Read more
could be my love affair with hosiery, but i am LOVING all the anklets with heels on the runways for fall. also on my fall must-have list? long leather gloves to go with my vintage 3/4 sleeve coats. so lush! for all the marc jacobs shots in order, click Read more
celine was a little sedate for me. but i did like the pop of this red bag. their recent spring collection was very pretty. they seemed to have carried some of the details into fall. for all the celine photos in order of appearance, click Read more
by far my favourite, i love the sedate mixed print/pattern. pretty, ladylike bow shoes, oversize rose print dress and the amazing red velvet dress were the highlights for me of d+g. for all of the photos, in order, be sure to click Read more
i’m never sure if it’s the designer or the style critic in me, maybe a combination of the two, but inevitably, i never find what i’m looking for to wear to events. this time around, i shopped all sorts of places- online, in-store, expensive, inexpensive, close-out, just-in… and still, didn’t see anything i’d consider.
it doesn’t help that i can see in my head exactly what i want. i’ve been consuming mad men, and joanie’s style has been calling. i have several vintage dresses that fit like a glove- my shape is now being defined as mid-century. and so, of course, last minute, i decide to make something. inspiration: chanel, mad men. timeline: 3 days. here’s what i came up with. to see all photos, click Read more
i’ve said it before, and it bears repeating…the nordstrom can put on a show. a sea of well dressed, the most spectacular shoes you’ve seen- ever, a cocktail i have to replicate, a salted caramel bite of heaven… and to top it off, 600 photos of fall runway from the biggest names in fashion. uhm, yes please. and it all went down somewhere in the nether regions of magnolia?
i could gush and gush… but alas, my toes are tired, my eyes are tired, and i totally just realized i’m shooting capitol hill block party tomorrow night. er…zzzzzzzz
i promise you image after image to delight (did i mention people were wearing amazing shoes?) and plan to have nordstrom fall runway, and some band or another (is it sad i haven’t checked out the lineup?) up before sunday rolls round. happy friday! xoxox- n+t
nothing says american independence like kids, dogs, old cars and darth vader. am i wrong? we celebrated our fourth in edmonds this year, brunch with friends, then off to stake out a spot for the edmond’s parade. then back in to the city for a dinner bbq. since i don’t live in a house that overlooks lake union (or know anyone who does) i tend to watch my fireworks on tv or listen to them popping out in the street as i fall asleep. what can i say, i lead a glamourous existence. i can’t complain. hope you had a great 4th, to see some of my photos from the parade click Read more
my second installment of coppelia photos. performances start tonight and go through sunday (for tickets and info), and then on sunday, there’s the season encore performance that i can’t wait to see (on my birthday!). it’s a reprise of bits from all the ballets produced over the season. i’m excited to see a dance from romeo and juliet and red angels again! for all the photos click Read more
the boys did a bang up job of rocking faux hair. from marie antoinette, to rocker… the girls didn’t have all the fun. to see the men represent, click Read more
wow. were you there? then you know.

what can you expect next week? my exclusive seth aaron photoshoot, wigs wigs wigs, sean nelson, amazing style, gender bending, portraits, tattoos and WIGS.
