Tag i love your hair

meet the blogger – allie – n+t contributor

past fashion choice most cringe-worthy?
I used to wear Calvin Klein overalls in high school. From Costco. Why? Why?! Although now overalls are apparently coming back. Yeesh.

clothing item you can’t wait to purchase?
A new pair of brown leather boots for Fall!

what’s your take on seattle style?
It can thoroughly be improved upon. A little less fleece, please. We’re a major metropolitan city! Let’s start dressing that way! Leave the NorthFace for recreational activities. Although I respect that our city doesn’t take itself too seriously, style-wise. Fashion is supposed to be fun, not uptight.

white belts, yes or no?
Oh Lord, it really depends on the context, but usually it’s a big no.

name a song and cocktail that were made for each other-
French 75 and “Le Foule” by Edith Piaf.

docs – aedan – barney’s – downtown seattle

easy chic – coco – downtown seattle

cowgirl – meriesther – downtown seattle

wigs – the boys (+ girls) – sam remix – seattle

the boys did a bang up job of rocking faux hair. from marie antoinette, to rocker… the girls didn’t have all the fun. to see the men represent, click Read more

wigs – the girls – sam remix – seattle

wigs was a great theme. what i really liked, was how much fun people had with it. for a selection of ladies (and those who were dressed as ladies) be sure to click  Read more

use of color – alicia betty – pioneer square

alicia betty was a sweetie to let us (and all the other people) accost her on the street. when we stopped to ask her for a photo, i think some people thought she was famous (and also wanted photos), to which she responded- don’t you know who i am? i’m alicia betty!

stripes – dustin – pioneer square

last night was artwalk…i headed down to my usual haunts, and roamed about.  i feel like pioneer square isn’t getting the traffic it used to.  downtown seemed to have more going on…

also, since i shirked my posting duties for most of the week (this isn’t my day job) i’ve decided you get the fruits of all my effort TODAY.  check back throughout the day for my whole artwalk series posted in one day.

next week i’m hoping i’ll have something from sam remix.  have a great weekend- xoxox k.

perfect hue – tara – FACE – south downtown

the end of the series from the FACE event- perfect finish, tara and her quintessential red lip (why can’t i find a red that suits me so well?). next week come see who i found at artwalk… anyone attending ballard artwalk?

like buttah – nonie – FACE – south downtown

did you follow nonie of butter – london’s vids at new york fashion week posted on wear what when? i caught a few and loved this backstage glimpse of what seems like a far off land.  nonie was one of the first people i saw at the FACE event and i loved her fuchsia leopard paired with the black tight/black shoe… so chic.  also check out her polish (or varnish as sheena says- i’m in love with chimney sweep and snog ((and the names))

slim silhouette – tim – pioneer square

From needle+thread

it was chilly at artwalk this month… i loved the color of his sweater/button-down- just a little hint of spring peeking through… i’m also taking inspiration from all the oxfords i’m seeing, i’ve been on the hunt to find the perfect pair…

urban chic – elizabeth – pioneer square

From needle+thread

artwalk was last night… did you go? what did you see? i usually like to just wander around. even before i started toting my camera. now i like to venture one direction and see what i find…

last night was good. not a ton of people out (was it the weather?) but a good night. who else spotted the seattle con peeps?

elizabeth had an amazing handbag that i wish i’d captured, the color is beautiful…

smiles – malgosia – SAMRemix – downtown seattle

From needle+thread

i’m somewhat vexed that i’m not sure where my camera focused here… her purse strap? her left eye?  sorry about the blur, she was delightfully in focus when i snapped this.

matching set – zeesoo + yunyoung – SAMRemix

From needle+thread

black + black – karol – capitol hill

From needle+thread

it’s not likely you’ve seen gavin and stacy, but if you have, doesn’t this lovely lady look like a slimmed down, sex kitten version of nessa?  i love all the color on the bag…

primary pop – lexi – outdoor retailer – slc

From needle+thread

there were a few people i saw over and over, and i wish i’d asked for a picture each day. some people just know how to put it together.

retro boheme – dagny – downtown seattle

From needle+thread

sarah rose – neiman marcus opening gala – bellevue

From needle+thread

those. shoes. give. me. reason. to. live. : ) i do love them. red, valentino, bow shoes. amazing. sarah is also very lovely, and i love her swing frock… with pockets!

rock style – maryanne + albert – bumbershoot

From needle+thread

these two were part of the rock prophecies gang (she- photographer, he-still eluding me). in itself- VERY cool (love his hair, and her royal order necklace). complete sidenote, i stood next to robert knight at katy perry, almost asked for his pic, chickened out… but thought… that guy has rocker style! duh.

crave event – michele – lower queen anne

From needle+thread

From needle+thread

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.
