i remember the first person who handed me a moo card. it was at ballard artwalk about 3 years ago… and when i turned over this wee rectangle, there on the back, was his art. i loved it. i kept it. i still have it. let’s not digress into my hoarding… moo cards. since then, countless people have handed over these little physical representations of themselves, and i have to say, they give new meaning to the somewhat staid idea of ‘business card’. i’ve never personally liked having business cards, but when these showed up, with all (ok, not quite all) my favourite pictures on the back… i kind of squealed. want one?

the quote from kate calamusa-
On Wednesday evening, Nordstrom presented their always-flawless Fall Fashion Show, but almost as impressive as the runway looks were the fashions sported in the crowd. Local fashion blogger (and Seattlemag fave) Kam Martin captures both this week on her blog needle+thread.

for those of you not on twitter, or facebook, following ANY seattle publications or living under a non-materialistic rock… there’s a new shopping area in bellevue. it’s called ‘the bravern’. it is VERY posh, and i can see myself making the pilgrimage over the water maybe twice a year to ohhh and ahhh over all the pretty things that they have to offer, having lunch with a girlfriend or visiting relative, and maybe indulging in some fashion fantasy where i pluck up the nerve and buy something- i’m picturing a handbag (i HAVE looked everywhere for a new fall handbag) or some very coveted shoes… anyway, kindness was bestowed upon me by darrah- she invited me along for the press tour, and then the opening neiman’s gala. wow, wow, and wow. if you thought nordstrom designer preview was fancy… i could have done a week’s worth of posts just about the CARS (i should have, love me some top gear). anyway, check back to see who i caught, and the style they rocked at this not to be missed event… there was some amazing fashion…

this blog is about pictures of you. that being said, you may remember the contest was going to involve a friend. there were some timing issues, and so, in the vein of keeping the contest timely, i’ve been dashing about trying to get it together myself. i shop at value village pretty frequently (with said friend, in fact)… and have picked up bits here and there for fall. since today was as un-fall like as it gets (88 when this was taken) i’d had a lovely argyle, full length skirt planned, that no amount of free stuff could entice me to put on. so i bolted in and found this denim number. then the focus wasn’t working (cause the subject wasn’t in front of the camera) and i had to bug some passer-by (big thanks to tyler) to take this picture. sorry it’s me, i won’t make a habit of it…

recently i received a letter from value village’s pr because i’m ‘one of seattle’s most influential fashion blogs’. i wasn’t aware this title was being given out, but i’m totally excited that i made the cut, because… they want me to do a giveaway! so… here’s the deal… i’m going to put together a $50 outfit for fall, from value village, with a friend. i will take a picture of said friend, in said outfit, and post within the next week.

we like connecting to what people want… still dottie really liked our contribution to the seattle street scene documentation. we liked pike/pine too, but we’re happy to give our $.02 too. thanks still dottie for the kind words!
very cool… a mention from agent noir of ‘a girl’s guide to seattle‘, a very heartfelt thanks for her award. apparently this involves some sort of response, and so… here we are- according to the award requirements, you give 7 facts about yourself, and pass awards to 7 fellow bloggers…can do !
i sometimes feel like this blog is quick and dirty. i’m in, i get a picture, i’m out. i’ve met a lot of really great people. I’ve bugged a lot of really great people. i’ve met people i want to grill about their fashion, but that isn’t what’s here… and so… i’ve created a second space. something a little more in depth. it’s been difficult to get people to commit to a little more time, i little more hassle, a little more of me in your face with a camera just a little bit longer, but i’m very pleased with the result. thank you to tara at hazel salon (and also maria) for helping me get it going… stay tuned for a very lovely 3rd who will soon be joining their ranks. i hope to post there weekly with a more in depth style bio. fun !
