Art walk awards on Capitol Hill

The Art Walk Awards aims to help promote vital art communities throughout Seattle.

The Spring Art Walk Awards will be held Thursday April 28th at FRED WILDLIFE REFUGE.

Full bar, complimentary Blue Moon summer seasonal, DJ Swervewon, visual delights from Dumb Eyes & more. 

Doors 8pm, 21+, admission is free when you RSVP to promos@cityartsmagazine.com with ART WALK in the subject line.

About the Art Walk Awards: In 2011, four winners will each receive $1,000 and a profile of their artwork in City Arts magazine. Together with our 2011 partners, the Art Walk Consortium, businesses and galleries that participate in neighborhood art walks can nominate a favorite piece of art for each month.  Each spring, summer, winter and fall, we narrow dozens of submissions down to six finalists, and then throw a party in their honor (with delicious and free Blue Moon seasonal beers, music, food and more).  Anyone attending the event gets to vote for the winner and we'll hand out the award that night.

Royal Wedding Countdown!

As you may have heard, Prince William is getting married this week. No doubt, this is a historical event, and for those of you attending 'Royal Wedding Parties', you'll be needing a hat (as is customary for British weddings). We've got awesome summer hats that will not only look great this week for various celebratory events, but also all summer!  Christy's (a BRITISH brand, see how we did that?) made these two bombshells, only $65!

Wedding Season is quickly approaching!

Here at Edie's we know how hard it can be for you guys out there to find the right shoe.. especially on a day where you will be the center of attention! Luckily we have lots of shoes to fit your needs!

This is the Wolfe from Maison Forte, $180. This dress shoe is perfect for the classic wedding: simple and clean. The leather is very soft and they have a great insole, so you won't have to worry about breaking them in before the big day!

Going for a more modern look? Also from Maison Forte, this is Night Train in grey suede, $140. These shoes have a great contemporary shape and would look great with various suit colors. And as I was told yesterday, "They are the most comfortable dress shoes. Ever."

Does your wedding have a more funky, casual theme? I love love LOVE these shoes from Hudson, Rourke in blue suede, $270. They would be great for a waterfront wedding, with their light, rubber sole that is reminiscent of a boat shoe!

Finally, we have something for those warm, late summer outdoor or beach weddings. If you're wearing a lighter colored suit, you don't want to wear a shoe that is too dark, it will draw everyone's attention away from your happy faces! This is from Camper, style 18565, $180. This supple, tan leather is a super versatile look that you could wear long after the big day!

Don't get the blues put on your walkin' shoes!

So, gas prices are estimated to reach $5 per gallon by the summer. Perhaps its time to start walking around our fair city! Just in for ladies, these awesome Asics Serranos come in fun, bright colors, have a rad throwback look, and are super affordable at just $72!

Tax Free Day!!

This Saturday, April 16! We all know how quickly the sales tax adds up here, so this is the BEST day to go shopping! It's also National Record Store Day so you know there's going to be some cool stuff going on at Easy Street! If the weather forecast is correct, it'll be a great day to spend the afternoon in West Seattle! Stop by and see us!

Show off some skin..

The weather is lovely today, so pull up your hair and get some sun! The perfect accessory?

New jewelry! Here is an assortment from Foxy! We also have new spring pieces from David Aubrey and Flutterbudget!

Sunshine Please!

Dying for some nice weather? Me too. Let's stare at these pictures and try to channel some sunshine! These bright and cheerful flats are from Fiel: Suyan, $135. Can you feel the warmth?!
