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!

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.

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.

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…
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.
