needle buzz – on the blogs – seattle radio

i can’t even remember when i did this interview.  my life seems like somewhat of a blur at the moment… but i did enjoy talking with toby, and having listened to his little snippet (from me probably talking his ear off) it’s so CUTE!  it’s so SUCCINT. that’s me… 3rd one down! have a listen!

needle buzz – we were featured!

so this first picture come from a magazine in singapore- chic magazine.  apparently they liked the military boot trend, and asked to use the photos in their trend report form around the world.  cool!  love that needle+thread has reached such a global audience!

this second photo was featured on the eyes on fremont blog! thanks to gus for posing on that sunny sunny day!

needle buzz – we were featured – cameron newland

it’s affirming when someone appreciates your photo… even if most of the appreciation centers around the subjects. (understandable, they are gorgeous) most of what i capture centers on details, and my own design tendencies… but sometimes it’s just nice to see people (sartorially) represent your city well.  cameron agreed.

needle buzz – we were featured – wear what when

it’s already been mentioned, but i do like to document these happenings… laura cassidy had me come take photos at the FACE event benefiting sunflower children. if you want to see the gallery and write-up… click here.  i forgot how delish that via tribunali pizza was… YUM.

From needle+thread

next- the magpie. after reading her post… i felt that she got the gyst of what i went after when dreaming up what this party could be, and that was community. i love her nimble collages (mine take forever, so i’m less likely to make them) and her juxtaposition of pretty fonts/words and the comprehensive rundown. nice. and thank you!  you’ll see a picture of her later this week.

From needle+thread

featured – seattle magazine – nordstrom show

From needle+thread

the quote from kate calamusa-

On Wednesday evening, Nordstrom presented their always-flawless Fall Fashion Show, but almost as impressive as the runway looks were the fashions sported in the crowd. Local fashion blogger (and Seattlemag fave) Kam Martin captures both this week on her blog needle+thread.

needle buzz – value village + contest + fall shopping

From needle+thread

this blog is about pictures of you. that being said, you may remember the contest was going to involve a friend. there were some timing issues, and so, in the vein of keeping the contest timely, i’ve been dashing about trying to get it together myself. i shop at value village pretty frequently (with said friend, in fact)… and have picked up bits here and there for fall. since today was as un-fall like as it gets (88 when this was taken) i’d had a lovely argyle, full length skirt planned, that no amount of free stuff could entice me to put on. so i bolted in and found this denim number. then the focus wasn’t working (cause the subject wasn’t in front of the camera) and i had to bug some passer-by (big thanks to tyler) to take this picture. sorry it’s me, i won’t make a habit of it…


but…now the contest can begin ! just a reminder- these are how to qualify for one of the TWO $50 value village gift certs (one will be chose by a drawing, one will be chosen based on creativity)-

1. post a comment
2. suggest a title for the above picture
3. best critique of how this outfit completely relates to a. fall b. shape c. seattle d. color or e. reverse osmosis
4. best plea for why you deserve the gift cert.
5. guess at which V.V. this was taken
6. proof of shameless promotion of needle+thread (pictures, glitter posters, links, free converse ad space)

and just to show you how valuable those gift cards are… my outfit, the entire thing (boots-$10, skirt $5, button down $4, jacket/hoodie $5, tank $4, belt $5) was $38.

needle buzz – value village + contest

From needle+thread

recently i received a letter from value village’s pr because i’m ‘one of seattle’s most influential fashion blogs’. i wasn’t aware this title was being given out, but i’m totally excited that i made the cut, because… they want me to do a giveaway! so… here’s the deal… i’m going to put together a $50 outfit for fall, from value village, with a friend. i will take a picture of said friend, in said outfit, and post within the next week.


these are the circumstances which could garner your receipt of ONE of these TWO $50 G.C.
1- best comment
2- best title for aforementioned picture
3- best critique of how this outfit completely relates to a.fall b.shape c.seattle d.color or e.reverse osmosis
4. best plea for why you deserve the gift cert.
5. first person to guess at which V.V. the picture is taken
6. proof of shameless promotion of needle+thread (always accepted in all forms)

and to make sure all proceedings are completely impartial, all submissions will be judged by my husband. because although he has constant contact with the internet, he does not: facebook, twitter, blog, dissect fashion or know fall is coming, or care. but he is the funniest person i know, and he’s cute.

is that fun ? i think it is. in fact, i quite like it.
