Keeping up with the trends can be daunting! This fall, designers have made face and hair trends basic, bold, bright, and messy. So check out a few simple products that might just decrease your morning routine in half and save you some time for beauty sleep.
Every year, a time-honored German tradition gets a Seattle makeover during Fremont Oktoberfest, a three-day salute to beer, bratwursts and lederhosen. The 2011 festivities, which took place last weekend, did not disappoint in the slightest, as revelers of all ages showed up ready to party and paraded down the streets in full German attire.
Fashion is going back in time this fall. Whether it be lady-like touches a la the ‘50s, hippie influences of the ‘70s, or leather circa the ‘80s — what’s old is new again! And we all know that’s good news in this economy. We chatted with Ken Downing, fashion director at Neiman Marcus, for the lowdown on all the leading looks.
Between the roar of the Woodland Park Zoo and the hum of I-5 lies the quiet town of Tangletown. Never heard of it? Probably because some call it “Green Lake,” others might say “Wallingford,” while some punks might try to convince you that it’s the outskirts of the U-District.
Summer’s over and it’s officially time to say buh-bye to burgers and BBQs. This fall, go fish — and for dependable, brain-boosting fresh catches of the day, nothing beats Ivar’s Salmon House, one of Seattle’s most storied seafood institutions. Bring your appetite and dive in!

Seattle’s rain calls for sturdy shoes. Lucky for us, fall fashion put a large emphasis on the shoe so you have many styles to choose from.
When it comes to favorite clothing items, nothing beats that perfect t-shirt. You know, the lived-in, soft as can be, comfortable, classic and quirky tee that you just couldn’t live without. Everyone has one — and if you’re a fan of Tuxiz, you probably have quite a few.
When I think about sexy food that is synonymous with Seattle, I’m sure I’m not alone in conjuring images of espresso machines steaming up the windows of one of our many local coffee shops. If coffee gets you in the mood for love, be prepared for a whole lotta foreplay this weekend during Seattle’s own Coffee Fest at the Washington State Convention Center.
