Tag dresses
amanda + lenna – boutique culture warehouse sale – fremont
summer chic – andria – pike place market

| From needle+thread |
i’ve seen a lot of women wearing these easy summer dresses. i like andria’s look for several reasons… the sandal, the bag, pop of color and use of accessories…
check out her blog here.

the color, her shoe.. that pretty ring. not to be redundant, but if you’re a girl, it’s almost too easy to look good. michele does a great job of making it look simple. she was visiting our city for the crave event, check out her blog- chocolate pizza stiletto love here.

last week, i stopped by the CRAVE event at teatro zinzanni. i snapped some pictures of well dressed ladies outside in line… check back through the week to see who we spotted. sidney has a fashion blog… we’ve traded a few emails, it was nice to finally meet her in person. i loved lauren’s pretty feather hair accessory, which i feel like i’m seeing everywhere…
use of color + texture – allie – u-village

her fun mix of color, texture, weight and fabric seems like such a great transition into fall. and those boots ! said she got them at dsw, and they were inexpensive. that field & stream look is going to be big this fall. (p.s. totally want those turq undies back there !)
sunny day – jessica (possibly ?) – fremont sunday market

it’s been summer again here in seattle (after a brief bout of the wet stuff). this is the best summer i remember here weather-wise. love all the girls rockin’ these easy desses.

the new post is up on the seattle p-i. rebecca was lovely to take photos with and you can visit her blog here. such talent !
graphic print – pia – NDP, downtown seattle
i think the only detail i got was that her shoes were marni, but i’d love to know about the dress and that necklace.
lady tweed – linda – NDP, downtown seattle

linda’s dress is chanel.
black + tan – sunny – NDP, downtown seattle
 |
| From needle+thread |
sunny’s dress is anna sui, and my favourite detail has to be that lovely velvet belt. i’m pretty sure that’s an hermes bag, and her shoes are fendi.
black + white – carla – NDP, downtown seattle
 |
| From needle+thread |
carla’s dress is narcisco rodriguez. sorry about the grainy pic, i’m working on it. 
something unexpected – darrah – NDP, downtown seattle

| From needle+thread |
darrah and i had traded emails, but never met. i couldn’t help but stop this lady for a snap, and then realized it was her. you can see a full length bio of darrah’s style this friday on the seattle P-I blog.
black + tan – michelle – NDP, downtown seattle
love the piecing on the dress, the length of the jacket and that handbag, which i want to say is L.A.M.B. but i’m unsure…
all dressed up – leslie and mitzi – NDP, downtown seattle
leslie’s dress is escada, mitzi is wearing tadashi. that ombre fuchsia tadashi is amazing.
stylish creativity
1 girl. 7 dresses, all the same. 365 days. if you haven’t seen ‘the uniform project‘, you should check it out. an inspiration to those of us who feel the pinch of the economy (see laid off clothing designer…) i found picture after picture of vintage, reused, repurposed and donated… and seriously felt my spirit lift. i forget that you don’t have to buy new things to have something new. seeing your closet with new eyes, or even with a friend’s opinion can change how you’ll put something together. that’s really cool.
penthouse ready – andrea – sorrento penthouse, subterfuge seattle party
to think she actually regretted buying these… i’m sure the thought was gone as soon as we all told her how amazing they are.
pretty ladies – michelle + tess – ballard art walk
michelle makes beautiful jewelry, that you can find here. and tess has a lovely boutique in ballard called velouria. she’s also opening a second location on capitol hill (melrose between pike and pine) that’s due to be open sometime around september/october.
