Gifts for Women

I love getting gifts where little things create something special. So, here are a few small and big ideas for the women in your life as you begin your holiday shopping.

DIY Hair Accessories

I absolutely love the hair accessories I’m seeing this fall, especially the headbands decorated with gorgeous feathers, sequins and ribbon. Although they are beautiful, they are quite pricey and can be easily created yourself for a fraction of the cost using colors and embellishments that compliment any wardrobe.

The Promise of Pink

Color me pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which means pink takes a front seat. I continue to be impressed by the ever-growing variety of pink products available to support breast cancer research.

At Home Spa Rituals

There are few things more relaxing than a day at the spa. I adore the steamy eucalyptus spa showers, fuzzy robes and warm towels! It is a great way to pamper yourself and something I don’t do often enough.

A Modern Anniversary Gift Guide

Celebrate the joyful years of marriage with modern twists on traditional anniversary gifts! When giving an anniversary gift to a spouse or a happily married couple in your life, here are some gift ideas to give a unique and trendy gift rather than settling for the traditional gift that has been given countless times.

Support Your Local Economy!

Cool Vintage Trunk Project

I’ve always loved vintage trunks so when I ran across this amazing project from Chic Maps by Nikki I knew I had to share! Nikki gave an old and beat up trunk new life with a little paper, modge podge, and TLC. I think a trunk would be a bit cumbersome to actually use while [...]

What originated as a local celebration catalyzed an overwhelming response from other communities for a K-12 curriculum to include women in their history lessons. As word continues to spread about new and upcoming women’s history projects, the focal point of [...]

A Sunny Outlook

With the grey clouds of winter looming overhead it’s sometimes hard to wait for the sunshine to come out and play. With that said, now’s the time I keep an eye out for the perfect spring accessories and I have to say, what’s not to love about this fun and funky tote from Toss Designs? Convenience and functionality meets fashionable and chic. I love the geometric pattern paired with such a jovial hue. The big compartment in the middle makes it perfect for grab and go days. Complete with drawstring and a vibrant print, you can practically feel that July sunshine on your face and the sand between your toes! Who said we have to wait for the freezing rain to pass anyways? A pop of color pleases me any time of year

In an ode to Seattle’s rainy days and modish nights I want to celebrate our local designers this week! Under numerous [...]
