TREND ALERT: Westward ho!

I can't seem to satiate my burning desire for western-tinged clothes and accessories lately. I thrifted my first bolo tie last weekend. There's a sleeveless denim button-up in my closet right this very minute. I wear a vintage black leather fringe vest maaaaaybe a little too often. And dear god, what I wouldn't give for the low-heeled pointy-toed booties pictured above.

Okay, so maybe Wayfarer shades are a bit of a stretch, and cowboys wear leather chaps, not full-on pants, but this ain't Halloween. No, my friends, this is how the west was won.

Peace out — I'm about to trot off into the sunest.

DV8 Dolce Vita Lookbook

Last month I attended the lookbook photo shoot / launch party for Dolce Vita's new footwear line DV8. The collection's pretty wild, so naturally the photos followed suit. Below are my favorite shots from the lookbook and some outtakes featuring yours truly.

Check out the collection here and my photos from the party here.

A peek inside my place

Kirby, from the delightful Seattle street fashion blog Dressed for Tea, was kind enough to feature me on his site today. We had so much fun sipping champagne, talking fashion and doing a little photo shoot. Be sure to check out the post and get a glimpse of my Seattle pad. He also included an interview on what I've been up to these days, along with some random questions ("If you could be anywhere, where would you be?"). Fun stuff!
