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!
In the Middle Ages, hordes of Norse Vikings wandered westward from Greenland in search of warmer weather. But today, Nordic natives don’t come to the Northwest to soak up the rays.
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.
It’s time to put away those swimsuits and throw on some jackets! I can’t promise that a cute jacket will make your day better, but it will cover up a bad outfit and help out when your alarm fails you.
There are few better ways to greet the autumn chill than by enjoying delicious beers and ciders with good company. This weekend, the Fremont Oktoberfest will be doing just that, and invites you to join in the fun.
