faces – adam – FACE – south downtown

adam was also at the FACE event, snapping away at style. i didn’t think it was cool when someone made a joke re: his hat. one of my least favourite things is someone picking away at someone else’s personal style. and with a microphone, to a group of people, so he can be your joke… just plain bad manners. for the other photo of adam, and his hat

usually when i think vintage inspiration… it’s not as far back as the late 1800′s. kate made that skirt, and it was even cooler from the back, with a modified (friendly to sitting) bustle. she’s a talented lady… find her here.

an autumn day at discovery – sheena – discovery park – magnolia

sometimes when people tell you that you have to get a permit, you should just ignore them. it goes against my sensibilities to ignore little old ladies, but that being said, sometimes they’re just on an age power trip. and it definitely irks me to listen someone in an OFFICE tell me what i can do OUTDOORS, but i did grit my teeth, and fill out the paperwork. and after all that… bureaucracy… what do i have to show for it? nothing. well, the filled out paperwork, and some emails, but certainly no permit to take pictures. so i just decided to take my camera AND my friend and go take all the pictures i wanted. and we couldn’t have had a better day. a beautiful fall day in discovery park. we ran (ok, sheena did most of the running), we laughed like maniacs… and we saw about 10 other people taking pictures. so if any of you want to turn me in, i have evidence that i wasn’t the only one. there are so many beautiful places in seattle, who could resist… enjoy.

From needle+thread

we had a mini, test-run blogger meet up this sunday. we went to theo chocolates in fremont. where they basically talk a lot, and give you chocolate to keep you interested. rebecca hails from the clothes horse… her blue bow was so lovely (and it matches her nail polish!).
