Cocktail Attire

2011-12-28T15:32:00.000-08:00

Death in the Afternoon

What could be more decadent than absinthe and Champagne? Death in the Afternoon is not only the name of a Hemingway book, it's also the author's name of a drink he contributed to a book of
celebrity cocktail recipes in 1935.

His instructions are: "Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. "Drink three to five of these slowly," recommends the great Author.

We've paired this once "forbidden" cocktail with a sassy dress
inspired by the flapper girls of an era gone by.

Frock! Georgina Dress $238

Sazerac

It all began for the Sazerac cocktail in the early 1800's when Antoine Amedee Peychaud mixed Cognac with his Peychaud bitters. In 1859 the drink was the signature drink of the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, where it received its name. The exact reason for the substitution of rye whiskey for the Cognac is unclear, but the whiskey base is used today.

Mix 3 oz. rye whiskey, 3/4 oz. simple syrup, bitters to taste. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Whiskey is a drink not for the faint of heart.

Therefore we needed to pair this bold cocktail

with an equal match of warmth & gusto.

Tina Dress by Amanda Uprichard $218

            Pink Greyhound
            2/3 cup pink grapefruit juice
                          2/3 cup Vodka
                          2 tsp grenadine
                          a glass full of ice
                   Finish with a sugar rim and
                      a sprig of Rosemary

    We paired this drink with a splash of color and a sheer blouse to show it's sexy side.

Butter by Nadia Signature Wrap Dress $238
Greylin Sheer Cowl Neck Blouse $138

Martini
The Martini has been around for over one hundred years, satisfying and tantalizing the taste buds of many a connoisseur. Records of early Martini preparations have been found as far back as the 1860s however;
the origins of the Martini are still unknown to this day.
A drink as delicious and mysterious as 007, shaken not stirred!

2 1/2 oz Gin
1/4 oz Dry Vermouth
6 ice cubes
Mix ingredients in a shaker, pour into a martini glass &
garnish with 3 green olives

The woman who drinks Martini's is no stranger to standing out. So we chose for her the dress that launched a thousand ships.

Frock! Reese Dress in Antique Gold $228

Cosmopolitan

The cocktail that was created during the groovy 70's made it's comeback thanks to four girls we know as
Carrie, Samantha, Miranda & Charlotte.
1 1/4 oz citron Vodka
1/4 oz Rose's lime juice
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1 cup ice cubes
In a cocktail shaker combine all ingredients. Shake well and strain
into a Martini glass. Garnish with lime.

We paired the tasty Cosmo cocktail with a dress that is as sophisticated as it is flirtatious.

Go and paint the town red this New Years!

Hettie Dress by Eva Franco in City Circus $328

Stand by your Brand...Meet the ladies who are Butter London!

2011-11-30T13:09:00.000-08:00

butter LONDON was founded by She-Brit Sasha Muir. On moving to the US she was shocked at the number of toxic ingredients in cosmetic products. She saw the need for a new brand of hand and nail-care products that combined high fashion and health, and set about building what is today, a premier fashion brand.

To help her realize this vision Sasha sought out London's leading manicurist & nail trend spotter, Nonie Creme. Together they are butter London and oh how love them!

butter London products are "3 free"...what does this mean, you ask?

NO Carcinogens (nasty cancer causing chemicals)

NO Formaldehyde, NO Toluene, NO DBP, and NEVER have & never will!

read the fine print at the end of the post to learn how harmful these chemicals are

Oh and let us not forget butter LONDON is a Seattle based business!

How proud are we of our Emerald City Entrepreneurs!

Here's a peek at the latest and greatest as well as our top picks

for spreading holiday cheer!

sophisticated glamour shimmers!!

rich, luxe and saucy goodness!!

stunning holiday palette of goodness!!

true holiday bliss--goodness!!!

ALERT: You may start throwing away cosmetics and nail products you own after reading this:

the fine print:

All three chemicals – DBP, toluene and formaldehyde – are on California's Prop. 65 list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Studies have linked DBP to underdeveloped genitals and other reproductive system problems in newborn boys. DBP is banned from nail care and cosmetics products in the European Union but the FDA has taken no such action in the United States.

In addition, the U.S. National Toxicology Program says formaldehyde is "reasonably anticipated" to be a human carcinogen. The EPA, meanwhile, restricts toluene in drinking water because it can cause nervous system disorders and damage the liver and kidneys.

Women of childbearing age are especially vulnerable to even low levels of toxic exposure, due to the potential impacts on a developing child. Some Vietnamese nail salon workers report that they simply quit their jobs when they get pregnant to avoid health impacts from their chronic exposure to the toxic chemicals present in the products that they handle on a daily basis.

Why are humans so vulnerable to chemicals in cosmetic products?

The skin is extremely permeable. Cosmetic ingredients most certainly are absorbed through the skin. Some chemicals may penetrate the skin in significant amounts, especially when left on the skin for long periods of time(especially in nail products). One study showed that 13% of the cosmetic preservative butylate hydroxytoluene (BHT) & 49% of the carcinogenic pesticide DDT(which is found in cosmetics containing lanolin) is absorbed through the skin.

Stand by your Brand! Meet the ladies behind Prairie Underground

2011-11-23T13:47:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time in the capital city of Nebraska two young girls would begin a friendship that would change their lives forever...

Davora Lindner and Camilla Eckersley, high school friends, each went their separate ways after graduating high school. Davora headed to Minneapolis to earn a degree in Fine Arts while Camilla moved to Olympia earning degree's at both Evergreen State College & the Fashion Institute of Design. Years later with Davora's experience in sculptural art and Camilla's experience in lingerie & corsetry design the two met up again here in Seattle. Both having a life long interest in fashion and difinitive style they decided to give Seattle a go and launch an environmentally conscious, contemporary apparel line. In 2005 the two set up shop and launched their first collection, and we're so happy they did!

What's the story behind the name, Prairie Underground?
"Prairie Underground was conceived as an homage to (our childhood) in Nebraska, the name refers to our peer group at that time and reflects our shared point of reference. We're still very influenced by the style of that era blended with the rustic, Victorian look of early American garments," says Lindner.

What makes Prairie so unique?
"Our line is different and accessible; women either identify with the entire line or a particular piece, but the attachment is strong. Our clothing offers a practicality and ease. We're very close to our customer in that way; women are comforted by our clothes. We're lucky to have lots of different types of customers and we think about all of them in the design process. We offer a really versatile fit and we're particular about a silhouette, so the line is consistent and recognizable. Camilla is an amazing pattern maker. Really that's been the key to our success." say Lindner

Tell us about your design process?
"When it's time to design the next season, we work at home alone, creating sketches to bring back to the table." Eckersley is a prolific sketcher, and many of her least favorite designs become Lindners favorites. "We work hard to make sure that the clothes will appeal to different body shapes," say Lindner. One of us is always interested in something the other has brought to the table as a throwaway idea. The push and pull of our individual differences helps create a broader collection." Once they have a a rough idea of the 22 plus silhouettes for their seasonal collection, Eckersley creates patterns and sample garments, and then a direction for the line begins to take shape.

Describe the "look" of Prairie Underground?
"Along with a distinct '80s aesthetic we also really love country or rodeo fashion, and you can see this influence in our clothes. We also indulge in a romanticism about pioneer life , with a focus on humble but strong fabrications, muddy colors and layering."

Tell us about your choice to use sustainable textiles?
"We have always worked with sustainable textiles, or textiles that are produced in a way that does less harm to the environment. We are both socially conscious people and wanted to be true to this ideal in our business as well. The line is almost all organic cotton and we work with a lot of hemp blends that are strong and beautiful fibers and a more renewable resource. We are concerned that our clothing lasts a long time and we take quality very seriously." Lindner says
