Downtown Seattle

12th Ave - Capitol Hill, Seattle

I liked his un-fussy, subtly dressed-up look; I just wish I'd gotten a better picture of him. (I try not to 'pose' people because it makes me feel like I'm being overly demanding, but I didn't quite do him justice.)

Lower Queen Anne, Seattle

La Femme - Capitol Hill, Seattle

I had the pleasure of meeting Adeleine, La Femme herself, during her first visit to Seattle this past week. She was every bit as stylish and lovely in-person as she comes across in her blog.

Peace Industry - Hayes Valley, San Francisco

Dodd Raissnia, the distinguished-looking co-owner of Peace Industry. If you're ever in Hayes Valley, I'd recommend checking out this shop to see some gorgeous felt-wool rugs.

I had a lovely time in San Francisco - many thanks to David Silver's Media Literacy class at USF for inviting me to speak!

Pike/Pine talk in San Francisco

I'll be down in San Francisco this week to give a talk about fashion blogging to a Media Literacy class at the University of San Francisco. The talk will be open to the public, so if anyone in San Francisco is interested, please come by!

Time: Thu 4/24 from 6:30-8pm
Location: Maier Room, Fromm Hall on the USF campus

I love how fresh her outfit looks. And her feathered headband is a surprising, delightful touch:

Cafe Presse - Capitol Hill, Seattle

Andrea Willcox and Brandon Lynne outside of Cafe Presse. I like the color mixed into both their outfits.

Naka Meguro, Tokyo

I saw him as I was leaving the Naka Meguro subway station. He has exactly the sort of style that made Naka Meguro the most laidback-cool place I saw of all three cities. It's a quiet neighborhood not far from Shibuya built along a canal with a bunch of beautiful shops and restaurants. It's where I'd want to live if I lived in Tokyo.

Shibuya, Tokyo

Perfectly Tokyo.

Pine Street - Capitol Hill, Seattle

Natasha Lady Krishna in a fabulous hat I spotted from a block away. She's the lead singer in local band Lady Krishna's Peppermint Lounge.

Shibuya, Tokyo

Three guys who know exactly what they're doing when it comes to personal style. Collectively, they epitomize my experience of walking around Shibuya, which was the best neighborhood for street fashion I've seen in any city I've visited so far. It's also only one of three photos I took while I was in Tokyo for five days. There's something so ingrained about the forwardness of fashion there, it felt weird to make it literal by asking for photos.

I found these guys outside Ragtag, which is a chain of secondhand clothing stores with an impressive stock of pre-owned Yohji, Prada, Chloe, and Marni, amongst many other high-end labels.
