Candle sleeves to brighten any room


When we bought our house there was a really cute chandelier in the nursery. Unfortunately the previous owners took it with them so I’ve been in search of one ever since. The problem is they all have those ugly white tubes for the lights. kaarsKoker, which is Dutch for “candle sleeve”, has created a beautiful way to cover those tubes. They come in solids, stripes and other patterns – like skull and bones. The cost is $12-$23.

Rachel Nasvik bags

When I first saw this bag I thought, “hhmm.. Did my mom have that bag when I was little?” The answer is no, but she could have. Rachel Nasvik is inspired by those bags our moms may have had years ago. The modern vintage pieces are all vegetable dyed Italian leather. This Patricia Satchel is $586 at Lambs Ear.

Horseshoe moving to Ballard

The popular women’s boutique in Fremont has outgrown its small space. At the end of September they will close their current location and head to a bigger space in Ballard. In July I wrote about Olivine closing on Ballard Avenue. When the owner of Horseshoe caught wind of this she jumped at the chance to expand her store. The new, larger Horseshoe will open sometime in early October.

G-Star Raw shop now open at Ian

It’s not often that a boutique has such a great relationship with a brand that they dedicate an entire section to it. That’s exactly what happened at the downtown Ian shop. They just completed their remodel and the new G-Star Raw shop at Ian is now open. Just head upstairs and you’ll find the collection. Ian is now the exclusive shop for G-Star Raw.

Glory Chen mod booties

Believe it or not it’s time to think about next season. That’s right, mentally put those sandals away for now and get your feet ready for fall. Bold designs are going to be hot and these Glory Chen “Lubaling” booties are perfect. The black and white geometric patterns are a flashback to the 1960′s. They would look striking with colorful tights and a skirt. These mod booties are $398 at Clementine.

New Fashion program at UW

Seattle is full of great designers but many don’t know exactly what to do after they create their lines. UW Extension is focused specifically on that dilemma. They’re rolling out a new program this fall called “Developing an Independent Fashion Line.” The program is for fashion designers who are looking to find that perfect niche. Courses include concept and design, creating your line and finally a marketing course. This is not a sewing program, it’s for those who can already make clothes or accessories and are looking for more guidance.
