5 Superb Super Bowl Party Cocktails
The Super Bowl won’t be as exciting as it should have been this year. (If things had just gone a little differently, this post would be all about drinks nicknamed “Russell” and “Marshawn”). Alas, there are still fun game day parties to be had. And to make them more fun, can the cheap beer and…
Hoorsenbuhs Trunk Show at Barneys
Barneys is hosting a Pre-Valentine’s Day Hoorsenbuhs trunk show on Saturday, February 2 from 12 to 6 p.m. In addition to their soon-to-be iconic Phantom Ring (I’m obsessed with the rose gold and black diamond version), the brand ambassador will have lots of special order items, like blingy diamond studs and leather cuff bracelets, on…
Goodwill Donates Piece to Burke Museum
Those of us who love to treasure hunt at thrift shops often dream of finding a priceless score, either a long lost piece of art from an established master or a couture piece from a major designer—something that fits us perfectly or that we can sell for a huge return. Or, I guess donate to…
Nordstrom Partners with CFDA/Vogue for Fashion Fund Pop-Up
I was hit hard by a brutal cold this week, and the best thing to come out of it—aside from a newly found guilty TV pleasure in Nashville—I was able to catch up on The Fashion Fund*, a Hulu.com exclusive reality show that follows 10 finalists in the CFDA/Vogue contest of the same name, where…
Seamless in Seattle Designer is on Project Runway Season 11
Back in 2010 I was a judge for both the Art Institute of Seattle’s student fashion show and Seattle mag’s Seamless in Seattle emerging designer contest (details for the 2013 Seamless coming soon!) and Kent-based designer Cindy Marlatt was a winner at both of them for her flowing and ethereal creations. Another thing that made…

Seattle Sniffs: Where Smart Noses Gather
Seattle is home to a blossoming group of sophisticated schnozzes.
Seattle has long been a hotbed of airplanes, coffee and technology, and now fragrance may be added to that illustrious list. Last summer, perfumer Christi Meshell created Seattle Sniffs, a community of more than 30 olfactory artisans who use oils in the pursuit of perfumery. Meshell, whose hand-blended House of Matriarch fragrance line is sold…
Cold Noodles Comfort
Discover the delights of cold noodles.
Legend has it that a female emperor in ancient China, suffering through a hot day, demanded her noodles be served cold instead of hot. It was her birthday that day, and thus began a tradition: Every birthday from that day forward she asked that her noodles be served cold. In modern-day Seattle, I think the…

Nestled in the old Market Street Grill space in Ballard, the almost 2-year-old Golden Beetle has garnered notice for the Eastern Mediterranean–inspired cuisine created by executive chef and owner Maria Hines (Tilth).

Harbor City: Our Choice for Dim Sum
The restaurant that changed our editor's dim sum loyalty.
One cold morning last winter on the way to our usual International District dim sum haunt, my family and I had to zigzag our way through the crowd waiting outside Harbor City, a stone’s throw from our destination. And so we decided to change course and wait alongside the shivering throng to see what all…
Grub: A Great Lunch Spot
Perfect for drop-in lunches and dinner with the kids, this Queen Anne spot is friendly and inviting.
There’s a sunny feel to Sharon Woo Fillingim’s new Queen Anne eatery, Grub, in the former Ototo Sushi space on Queen Anne Hill. Perfect for drop-in lunches and dinner with the kids, it’s friendly and inviting, much like Le Rêve (the bakery Fillingim helped open a couple of years ago). At Grub, everyone sits on…
Cheese and Company
The cheese plate at Matt's in the Market will change your posture on dessert.
When it comes to people’s tastes in dessert, some lean sweet, others lean salty and a few, like me, lean cheesy. So when I’m hoping to stretch the night for one more drink and I’m in the mood for a little “dessert,” the cheese plate at Matt’s in the Market does the trick. Five artisanal…
