nordstrom designer preview – making a dress – seattle
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

caramel – luly yang show – downtown seattle
caramel had this amazing lace with metallic threads… such buttery warmth (my photos are washing it out). my favourite of the show was the dress in the middle. you could wear this to just about anything, it looks comfy and i’m pretty sure it had pockets. luly has also come up with a great collection of cashmere pieces. for all the photos from caramel click Read more

horrible-ish spot to take photos, and if i tone down the yellow, you don’t see the color in her hair/outift… love those grey oxfords.

that gorgeous dress she’s wearing… she made it. like with her hands. i’m always impressed when i see someone wearing something, and not only do i love it, i think… when she tells me where she got it, i’m going to go buy it! i wonder if handmade, beautiful dresses are in the budget… see heily’s designs here.

another participant in the blogger mini-meet… eunice writes what’s your tale nightingale. i was so envious of her vintage nikon bag, i swore i’d find one just like it. i love when something unexpected works for something other than what it was meant.
also… if you live in the area, and want to be included in the next blogger meet up, drop me a line!

i took these photos several weeks ago, and love that they finally get to go up. emily and i laughingly joked about taking dreamy shots… i think these fit the bill. she’s wearing 1 item several different ways, and you can see the write up on the seattle p-i needle+thread. happy end of summer… a few days late… : )
