Think about shopping local. I am already seeing the commercials on TV for Pre-Black Friday sales. Don't succumb to the mass hysteria, just head down your block and shop like a human.

We are excited for this holiday season, we hope to see you in the store and shopping local around town. Happy Holidays

Kick off the holidays in style

Well I guess I have finally said goodbye to summer and am embracing the fall/winter season. I am starting my holiday ritual. I am going out once a week to visit and enjoy the many beautiful bars of the city. They take on an extra beauty around this time of year. Candle light, holiday decor and a menu of hot toddies and Irish coffees. This gives me the excuse to dress up, feel festive and explore my city a little bit more. The picture above is of the Polar Bar. I also have on my list The Four Seasons, The Edge Water and would love any of your favorite bar suggestions. The shoes below are just in from All Black "cutout pat" $124 in burgundy patent and matte black. They will go perfectly with a pom-tini, old fashioned or a Makers. Happy Holidays!

Trick or Treat ??????

Are you ready for Halloween? You might need a new pair of shoes for lurching through the streets of Seattle like a zombie or a scarf to hide the vampire marks on your neck. Either way, check out Edie's Facebook page, you may get a trick or a treat!

We have them in Black and Grey for $32, and I can still show off my mani! We have tons of other styles and colors of arm warmers, gloves, scarves and hats to keep you warm!

Get Inspired

Just saw this movie last night, Visual Acoustics, and I really enjoyed it. It follows the career of Julius Schulman, a photograher of modernist architecture. From "retro" houses in Palm Springs, to outlandish houses on the L.A. hillsides, it is inspiring to learn about the movement and the amazing man who documented it all. It will make you look at things with a new appreciation for design and form. Here is a summary and to go along with the film, check out the lines on this Biviel bootie. Style 2750 $165

Visual Acoustics celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world's greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away('08) this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California's modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images. Written by Owens/Rothschild

As cool, fall weather sneaks in..

One of my favorite things to do in Seattle is to curl up with a great read. I'm pretty excited to check out The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, which is being released this November. Mark Twain requested on his death bed that the three volume autobiography was not to be printed for 100 years.. 100 years! Historians are divided about why Twain wanted to wait so long, but there is speculation that he either wanted to talk freely about religion and politics, or that he just didn't want to worry about offending any friends! Either way, there is something so romantic about a memoir being unsealed and released from such an iconic literary figure..

Just in time to grab your copy and get cozy at home, we have these awesome new slip-ons from Camper! These comfy little guys are available for men in charcoal grey, and for women in light grey and a muted red. They are made from recycled components and have a rubber sole, perfect for when you need to run up to your local coffee shop for a refill!

Camper #21343 & #18546, $60

Naya

We also have a boot Lightning in black and a blue/brown combo for $210. Come in and check out the fit and feel and of course the look. Below is a summary of the Naya philosophy.

Naya is the expression of our commitment to beauty, comfort and the well-being of our natural environment. This commitment starts with all of us – and it starts now.

Gulf Restoration Network (GRN)
GRN has mobilized all available resources to monitor and respond to BP's oil drilling disaster and is calling on BP and the federal government to clean up this oil disaster and make coastal communities whole again.
GRN is a 16-year old environmental advocacy non-profit that works to unite and empower people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf of Mexico region for future generations.

Next time you need flower arrangements for a special occasion, or just to brighten up your house, we highly recommend that you check out florist Marigold and Mint, whose farm is located just outside of Seattle along the Snoqualmie River. They happily provided lovely arrangements for our 10 Year Anniversary Party back in June, and not only did they smell and look amazing, they lasted for what seemed like forever! Check out their shop in the Melrose Market, right down the street from our Capitol Hill location! Local, organic AND creative? What's not to love??!

Summer Toes

Oh, those summer toes! For some of us, bearing our toes to the world is not as easy as it looks. Yes, we've all heard about the dreaded swimsuit season, but toes rank pretty high up on the insecurity list too. That's why all the nail salons are in high gear right now, trying to make our tootsies as pretty as they can be. For me, it has been the longer second toe. For years it kinda drove me crazy, but then it was pointed out to me that many women in classical paintings and sculpture have a longer second toe. The Birth of Venus is one example. So what I had thought was ugly, turns out to be the mark of a beautiful women. So, don't worry your pretty little feet anymore about those toes. Show them off in these beautiful sandals by Gentle Souls, B. Gabe, $175. (avail. in black and brown) You are a Goddess!
