since today is the first day of anniversary sale, i thought i’d post some stylish nordstrom representation. loved her layered stripes and pearls.

have you picked your must have items from that gorgeous book? come see me at store 2 (northgate), and i’ll make sure you find some stellar hosiery for fall (really fashion? we just got summer and you want me to think of fall?)

my summer vacation – sunny florida – the photos

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:27:49 +0000

if you don’t like ornithology, skip my photos. i think my nickname this trip was marlin perkins. florida was SUNNY, hot and relaxing. it’s pretty nice when your biggest concern is what you’re going to eat next. gator, grouper and triple tail, i sampled what i could. thanks to the fam for having us, we had a blast! for all the photos click

our first morning there, this cormorant was sunning itself on the end of the dock.

there was a constant buzzing noise- either cicadas or locusts. and every so often, one of these. this one was right outside my bedroom window and was about the size of a .50 piece- he looks (and sounded) bigger…

this guy thought by staying low, i might miss him.

look! a dolphin. i have about 15 pictures of the water where a dolphin was. then i got this one! perfect!

this is how people dress when it’s sunny. no tights, no sweater… you don’t even have to carry a sweater! CRAZY! my sister-in-law ali makes it look easy…

the starfish lily found doing the stingray shuffle.

me and the ibis posse hung out.

i have no idea what they were pulling out of the sand, but they ate a zillion of them.

my shoes waited while i put my toes in the sand…

a margarita, a sunset and a long walk on the beach…

this dress was so amazing! and she said she got it at an estate sale and that it still had the tags on it. that handbag was killer too…

i was such a fan of this dress… i’m getting ready to head to florida, and would love something this easy (see: comfortable) for my quick trip into heat. elena looked lovely (like always), and that bracelet!

all the pretty ladies – luly yang show – seattle

you can see better in this photo the subtle variation in hues… thanks to luly yang for having me, and looking forward to her october show!

pretty as a picture – katherine – luly yang show – seattle

all the women at the show who work with luly were wearing her dresses and shoes. they all looked stunning, and were perhaps the best showcase of a diverse range of ladies rocking some seriously lovely frocks (and AMAZING shoes!) i had hope to get a picture of them all together, but knew they were busy with the event… the best detail- all of these dresses seemed to be hand painted in some way, each was different, it was subtle, and such a pretty detail.

matching set – rose + alex – luly yang show – seattle
