this first week of the new job has been FUN! i’ve already learned a ton about legwear. like jeggings, and treggings… who knew? i saw ben and had to get a picture. i’ll be designing some legwear for spring 11 over the weekend… would love to hear your thoughts on the legging trends!

sometimes when i snap photos of younger people, i’m reminded how easy style can be. if you want to wear it, you do.

it’s hard to fall in love with celebrity style. someone else is dressing them anyway… maybe if i could see how those people dress? i’ve found it to be easier to fall in love with the style of women musicians, and recently had the opportunity to meet one. there’s something to be said for getting an up close look of what ‘on the road‘ means, and a guarantee you, it doesn’t involve a lot of closet space.   kristen of vedera spared an hour of her time in seattle to talk with me about her personal style. to see our interview- needleplusthread on the seattle post intelligencer.

i also got a chance to hear vedera perform and was impressed.  similar in feel to eisley (but not as… sad? gloomy?) i loved kristen’s voice live.  this free download of their new single satisfy from their newly released album just might hook you.
