Stand-out Outerwear

It seems the rainy season is here to stay. We had a beautiful extended Summer full of feminine outfits, but now it is time to bundle up to protect from the elements. However, in a city like Seattle, where we wear some sort of jacket 3/4 of year, we should embrace coats that are just as beautiful as the clothing underneath.

Wool-mohair emerald jacket, Diane von Furstenberg, $695

Emerald green is a bold color and such an eye catcher.

Acrylic-Cotton-Wool coat, United Colors of Benetton, $275

This classic and cozy jacket is great for an everyday kind of look. Patterned coats make for an interesting, unique look. Don't worry so much about matching it with pieces beneath, no one will even notice!

Fall Trend 2012: The Updated Pantsuit

The pantsuit is a timeless classic that can easily be worn as separates for a casual outing or worn together for an ultra put together look.

With an array of cuts and colors to pick from, there is a perfect suit to fancy your personality. I must it would not be a mistake to invest in good cut, you can literally wear this year round, from day to evening.

Vogue, September 2012

This suit above has the perfect ankle length pant for heels or flats. Don't shy away from sky blue, it can easily be worn with floral prints and neutrals.

Harper's Bazaar, September 2012

For the powerful sexy woman, burgundy will be a good color decision. The belted waist creates a feminine feel for the ladies with a straight figure.

Guilty Pleasure: A bag like no other

When you see the bag, you'll want to hold it. When you hold it, you won't want to let it go. For the handbag lovers out there, let me introduce you to Ampersand as Apostrophe, a local hit designer. With bags sold in Europe, and press from all kinds, I am happy to announce that designer Jessica Park will be here on Saturday August 11th from 6 pm - 11 pm.
