sparkle+shine – SAM Remix – seattle

so many trends here… wide belt, sequin legging, leather jacket, boots… she brings it together, and of course it helps that she looks fierce.

ladylike chic – SAM Remix – seattle

From needle+thread

love the gold handbag (vintage?) and big chunky earring.  also love the combo of the high wasted longer skirt with the lace legging.  she put her own twist on the look and it looks just right.

friends – SAM Remix – seattle

From needle+thread

i have some very stylish friends.  gopi, i think, was actually voted most stylish guy in seattle one year, and maria looks good even when she decides at the very last minute that she’s going out with us.  both of them seem to embrace style pretty effortlessly, and i love the easy grace of what they wear and how they wear it.  i think maria’s quote that night was, ‘anything looks good if you’re wearing red lipstick’.  i agree.

i like how both girls are rocking similar boots, in completely different ways.  although i’m not in my ‘hair has to be short’ phase, i was drawn all night to capture the ladies with cropped do’s.  so good!

mixed neutrals + color – SAM Remix – seattle

From needle+thread

there were several things about this that caught my eye… color spectrum opposites, interesting choice of handbag (it works!), metallic trim on the shrug, black AND brown… sometimes i really love what individualists seattlites are.  the looks is unique, and on top of that… it’s perfect.

wink + smile – maria + tara – SAM Remix – Seattle

From needle+thread

sometimes what makes a night even more fun, are the people you enjoy it with. i like really serious, stuffy people. as you can see. thanks ladies for the fun night!

fawn + lightning – amanda + kate – SAM Remix – Seattle

From needle+thread

i once read an article in some magazine about how a woman who’s past her 20′s should be careful how she chooses to use graphics/graphic tee’s.  i wanted to write in about what a load of crap it all was, but my time is better spent.  like taking pictures of people who do a great job sporting graphic tee’s.  and age schmage.  if you like it, my bet is you can wear it.

great accessories – elisa – downtown seattle

From needle+thread

which only makes sense.  since she’s the design director of accessories at the big N.  loved the layering, and that skirt seemed to possibly be a sweater dress (or have a sweater yoke?)… i can’t get enough of the oversize stitch knits.  cowls, cocoon sweaters… i’ve gone a little overboard.  and those boots… lovee how boots are coming with the burnishing.  finally!  you don’t have to wear them in to get that great aged patina.

chic rain style – myung – downtown seattle

From needle+thread

can you believe it’s november?  time flies.  loved wandering downtown and seeing people sporting some great rain style… i’ve been looking here and there for a trench.  i love this one.  i know someday i’ll come across just the one…

easy chic – joyce – mario’s – downtown seattle

From needle+thread

sometimes, even though it exceeds my budget… it’s fun to go poke through mario’s.  there’s something truly decadent about drinking wine AND shopping.  their events are also usually fun… a well dressed, fashionable crowd, the evening spent trying on denim or shoes, yearning for a lovely, sumptuous new handbag.  last week, mario’s hosted a girlfriend night; giveaways, prosecco, mini cupcakes, shopping with a discount… all the trappings of girl-dream shopping experience.

guest post – piercing beauty – christiana – london

From needle+thread

One of my favorites – possibly because I could never have the guts for this getup – OR because she had the most polite, fragile personality. Exactly why we must never judge a book by its cover. Dissect her whole look and you’ll see a lot going on; but all together, and it meshes quite well. Her TALL boots, oversized bag, three-layered top and assortment of accessories must have doubled the weight of her 5’1’’ stature…haha. Cristiana. Packed a punch with her florescent hair.

vogue – front row fashion – biker chic

i’m a little behind in posting some of the bellevue fashion week stuff… i figured you’d still enjoy seeing some fall fashion (since fall IS just starting), and it’s all available from bellevue square. i’ll post an album a day, and that’ll get us through the vogue show. visit the biker chic album for the rest of the looks.

bloggers love chocolate – eunice – the nightingale – fremont

From needle+thread

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!
