Weekly CHS Hill Style- Sarah


This weeks Hill Style photo of Sarah is a first glimpse at Seattle bundling up for fall weather. I'm excited for fall layers... hats, coats, wool tights...

Ben


I couldn't get over Ben's jeans when I saw him on 10th in front of Elliot Bay Book Co. . They are perfect! He has trouble finding jeans that fit him well due to his height so a friend custom made this pair for him... What a friend! The color and fade of the denim is just right. I have been wearing a lot of denim in the past few weeks and for the last year have been on the hunt for a pair of jeans in a wash that I have decided on and have pictured in my head but just can't seem to find at any stores. A couple weeks ago I was at a Jazz/Blues festival in Yakima and a middle aged man working as a vendor in the beer garden was wearing an old worn out pair of Levis that I loved. They were so perfectly worn and faded. I liked them so much that by part way through the day I was asking my husband, "How weird would it be if I offered him $100 to mail me his old beat up jeans?" Luckily he talked me out of it because that was a slightly irrational idea. I like to think that someday I'll be at a thrift store or flea market and come across the ultimate pair.

Sunil

Sunil- Barnes & Nobel downtown Seattle.

Apparently Sunil had the same idea as me on Friday. I like to pop into the store once a month to flip through a few import fashion and interior magazines. This ritual usually doesn't end up being free as I always end up bringing home at least one of those pricey little devils.

My favorite read this month...

Melanie & Carlos


Melanie & Carlos- Ballard Sunday Farmers Market

Red checked gingham shirt... military tone t-shirt... wavy red hair. So many things that I like about this photo. My friend and I were talking recently about how jealous we are of natural redheads. It is the ultimate accessory. People try so hard to replicate with dying but it just never quite stands up to the real thing.

Mya and Baby


Only a few weeks after reposting Mya's photo from last summer when she was oh so pregnant I ran into her looking just as lovely but with a baby instead of a bump. I had to grab some photos of these two. Whether she 9 months pregnant in the middle of summer or on a stroll with her little one Mya seems to look easy breezy and dress just right. I love this summer outfit.

Lemon Cupcakes


I know, I know. Everyone is "over" cupcakes. Well, I'm not and I was ecstatic when The Don's recent obsession with baking brought these little cakes of perfection into my kitchen the other day. I got the honor of decorating them using heaps of his homemade lemon cream cheese frosting, candied lemon peal (this was an unexpected and amazing creation) and fresh blueberries from the Broadway Farmer's Market. My desire for buying baked goods from some of my normal haunts is dwindling each weekend with every new treat Don creates.

Alyssa- KEXP Concerts at the Mural




Readers, have you been going to the free KEXP concerts on Friday evenings at the Seattle Center Mural?? I found Alyssa dressed perfectly for an outdoor summer concert. She works at mynorthwest.com who hosts the website of my favorite imaginary radio show TBTL.

If you haven't been to a concert at the Mural yet this summer then you better hop on down there this Friday because it is the last one of the year. Grab your cozy blanket and a buddy and lay out on the lawn while listening to Mt St Helens Vietnam Band play you songs from their amazing new album. Did I mention it's free...?

Weekly CHS Hill Style- Sean


I am a total morning person. I get up at 5:00am everyday and work early by choice and on the weekend 7:00 is sleeping in. Everything feels so new and exciting first thing in the morning. There aren't very many people out in clothing besides excercise attire early on a weekend morning but every once in a while I find someone who, just like me, is ready for the day when I am out walking around the city before 10am on a Saturday. Sean was my most recent early morning photo find. He passed me while I was waiting for the bus in front of QFC on Broadway which made my 15 min wait for the 49 go by extra fast... added bonus. Well, Sean is this weeks Hill Style photo on CHS. I have a few other pictures posted over there of his well put together outfit. Check it out here.
