Trade Your Wine Corks for Free Jewelry

Trade Your Wine Corks for Free Jewelry...

There are lots of good reasons to drink wine – it’s good for your heart, it tastes like magic and it makes you feel like the world is a better place. But you already knew all those. There’s a new benefit to having a healthy appreciation for wine: FREE jewelry. Keep reading to find out how you can trade in wine corks for free, handmade jewelry by my very good, incredibly talented friend, Zona Sherman of Twirl...

Urban Girls Garage Sale

Urban Girls Garage Sale...

Before you go out and throw back a gallon green beer (actually, please, just skip that part, it’s gross) on St. Patrick’s Day, do a little second-hand shopping for a good cause at The Urban Girls Garage Sale, where you can stock up on some new duds from some of Seattle’s most fashionable closets for way less than retail. As much as I complain about Seattle’s general dowdiness, there are some serious...

Goodwill’s 2013 Designer Accessory Sale

Goodwill’s 2013 Designer Accessory Sale...

Yesterday somebody sent me an article saying that Seattle may be the most underdressed city in America. I won’t argue with that. A brief glance at the sea of ugly yet functional footwear out there supports this hypothesis. Also, it makes me cry a little. So this weekend, I beg you to fight back against overly-casual dressing and buy yourself a present (or seven) at Goodwill’s 2013 Designer Accessory Sale at their...

Pretty Awesome: Healthy Nail Salon in Ballard

Pretty Awesome: Healthy Nail Salon in Ballard...

Originally posted July 2012 So here’s something important to know about me- I’m always on the hunt for a good mani/pedi. And it’s harder than it sounds. I come from the land of the $20 combo deal (Southern California, where there’s a nail shack looking to undercut their neighbor on every corner), so shelling out bookoo bucks for anything subpar hurts my soul. Thusly, when I find a GOOD nail salon in...

Holiday Thursdays at West Elm

Holiday Thursdays at West Elm...

It’s official- there is no stopping this holiday train.  Duck and cover or jump on board- and if you’re anything like me, you’ve ducked way down, skipping out on all the celebratory festivities and blaming the wet stormy weather for your lack of red and green enthusiasm. But there is hope for even the scroogiest amongst you. Holiday rehab comes in the form of FREE holiday classes at West Elm. If you cringe every time...

Goodwill Glitter Sale

Goodwill Glitter Sale...

Things I love: designer labels, bargains and sparkly dresses. Things I don’t love: the prices on designer labels, my credit card bills when I overindulge on said bargains and the fact that when you wear sparkly dresses twice, people notice. Well, it must be my lucky day, the Goodwill Glitter Sale, happening this weekend, is going to be really, really helpful with that second list. Let the bargains begin! Gorgeous! In...

Uniqlo Launches Online Shopping

Uniqlo Launches Online Shopping...

Once upon a time there was a magical store that sold well-made, fashionable clothing at really affordable prices. And we all lived happily ever after. Sigh. Don’t you wish that real life was like fairy tales? Well, I have some really good news for you. That’s exactly what you find at Uniqlo, the Japanese clothing chain that I’m so totally obsessed with that I maybe sometimes center travel plans around it....

Hello, lovely Yay-Todayers. I’m back after a much too long absence and I’m so happy to be chatting with you again. Let’s have tea. And a pumpkin muffin. Because it’s September, which means fall is here, this week’s hot sun be damned. (But not really because SUN and is this what they mean by Indian Summer?) I’ve missed you, I hope you know. To celebrate my return to my favorite Seattle events blog, I thought I...

We’re not even technically done with fall and my autumnal-wardrobe wish list is already a mile long. I mean, how else do you cope with the end of summer than by entertaining yourself with a half-dozen new pairs of boots? But the magical feeling you get when you don a new coat comes with a price tag. But this weekend, you can protect your wallet and get a whole new wardrobe at the FREE clothing exchange being held at...

Fashion Night Out: Seattle Gets a Makeover

Fashion Night Out: Seattle Gets a Makeover...

So maybe it’s possible that I’m a little too old to actually think that back-to-school shopping is still a thing. Maybe the fact that I haven’t actually been in school for ten years has something to do with that. But whatever- summer is almost over (I feel like if I keep saying that fate will give us a really nice September just to prove me wrong) and I need to drown my sorrows in some new boots. And a coat....
