sometimes when i snap photos of younger people, i’m reminded how easy style can be. if you want to wear it, you do.
pop of color – shalonne – crown hill value village

many of you know shalonne. and as much as i sometimes dread attending events on my own (shocking that my husband doesn’t want to attend every fashion event, I KNOW!) she’s usually one of the friendly faces i can count on being in the crowd. i’ve been remiss in not having a picture of her sooner (i somehow become shy pestering friends for photos) because she always has some element to her style or outfit that’s unique or, to my own enjoyment, vintage. a favourite was a little square vintage purse (think book-like) that had little compartments for powder and lipstick.
i think she said her pants were from paris, but they reminded me of these rag and bone trousers.

singer style – kristen – south downtown – seattle

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.

heather works at cicada. i (again) don’t want to mention how long we followed her… but when she stopped for donuts in the market, we stopped to chat. love the over the top hat.
