Bypass the Mall and Find Fashion Locally - StyleScout Welcomes Seattle’s Stylish with 20% Discount at Top Local Boutiques
Finding that perfect outfit just got easier for Seattle shoppers with the launch of StyleScout, a free online community connecting stylish shoppers with local boutiques and friends for personalized fashion suggestions and advice.
SEATTLE, WA - October 15, 2008 – StyleScout, the first dedicated online community connecting stylish shoppers with the fashion experts at local boutiques, today announced it has launched to Seattle, Washington. Seattle shoppers can turn to StyleScout to find what to wear and where to get it, and save 20% at great Seattle boutiques for the first month. Whether one needs a swanky dress for a high society wedding or a stylish raincoat to brighten Seattle’s rainy weather, StyleScout delivers personalized fashion suggestions from the current inventory at some of the best boutiques in Seattle.
In celebration of our launch, StyleScout has teamed with over fifteen Seattle boutiques to offer 20% off purchases to shoppers that connect to the retailer through StyleScout. This special offer is for purchases made before November 15, 2008, and includes Seattle retailers Alhambra; Atsui Tokyo; Bossi & Ich Ky; Bouncing Wall; Clutch; Echo Road; Ella Mon; Encanto Barcelona; Fashion Ethic; La Rousse; Lemon Meringue; MOMO; Peridot; Petaline; Pink Ginger; Polite Society; SandyLew; and, Tweed. For list and complete details visit www.stylescout.com/seattle.
StyleScout understands that finding and choosing clothes can be a chore, particularly for special occasions when looking and feeling great take on elevated importance. People overwhelmingly prefer to shop for clothes offline so they can touch, try-on, and compare items, but they often experience frustration finding what they desire. This is especially true for those that bypass the malls for trendier offerings at local boutiques, with small, fast moving inventory, dispersed locations, and overall large numbers. StyleScout steps in to improve this experience by delivering the fashion expertise and inventory of the top fashion boutiques in Seattle right to shoppers’ fingertips, along with honest feedback from friends and the community – all before hitting the streets to shop.
Need some new style? Join StyleScout for free at www.stylescout.com with invitation code. Custom codes will be provided to media outlets upon request at the contact above. Boutiques wishing to participate can apply for an account at www.stylescout.com/merchants and will be screened against our criteria before activation.

I Craved Some CRAVE (and firemen) Tonight!
For the record, I have Project Runway on pause so I can write this...
Today was a busy day of day job work and then UFN work. All of which was good! ;) After work I met up with Cory from Style Scout for a little iced tea and conversation. He has an amazing site and I want to get involved with them. If you haven't checked out their preview site, please do, it's perfect for finding that outfit you've been looking for. Plus, if you're coming to the UFN Birthday Bash you'll need something swanky to wear - here is your chance!
After our meeting I headed over to meet up with Regina at the Shilshole Bay Beach Club for the CRAVE Summer Party. I took lots of pictures of the local designers and businesses that were there for those of you who couldn't attend but are always wondering what happens at those CRAVE events. Check them out! (Regina really wants some red boots, as you can see from her picture.)
We missed the salmon BBQ but there were plenty of women outside making s'mores (who doesn't love a good ole' s'mores?). While outside I purchased a 2009 calendar from the hottie firemen... Their hot tan, muscular, tattooed arms... Um! (Sorry, I got off track there...) I really didn't need a calendar but they sure are good at making you think you do, plus they're hot so it was hard to say no - the money does go to help burn victims. Each one of them signed it with a cute yet somewhat naughty note... I love it!
I chatted with a few designer friends who were vendors about the show, Candice from Fashion Ethic and Gaby from Gabrielle Renee Jewelry. Plus, I ran into an old co-worker from my day job who has started her own life coach business called Momentum LifeWorks - congrats Bridgette! I also made a new friend, Darcy of LifeStyled, she is a personal stylist, what a fun career!
Wax On was there doing what they do best, waxing, so I decided it was time for an eyebrow wax, easy enough! Ever since I arrived, I had had my eye on this beautiful silk dress from a shop called Laura Victoria. It just so happened to be my size so I tried it on, low and behold, I bought it. I'll be wearing that to the Birthday Bash. Thanks Laura and Heidi!!
If networking and shopping are your thing then this is definitely an event to consider. There is a bar, food, shopping and really cool women wandering around, what else do you need? Regina and I had a great time mingling and I can't wait for the next CRAVE event... As I said in the header, I craved some CRAVE tonight. The firemen were just an added bonus!
Ok, time to watch Project Runway... (I love the DVR!)
UPDATE: I spoke to soon about my DVR because now it's on the fritz and it won't let me watch Project Runway - it keeps freezing. UGHHHH!!!!! Damn DVR!

Happy Belated Birthday America (and Tim)!
Wow, the weekend flew by way to fast! Hopefully you all had a fabulous 4th of July weekend and were able to spend some quality time with friend and family.
My day job gave us Thursday AND Friday off so I had lots of time to relax and enjoy the Summer weather. Woohoo!
Thursday, after spending most of the day doing stuff around the house, I ventured up to my local Tully's coffee shop to meet with Cory who has started a new website called stylescout.com. It seems like it will be a really fun place to go and discuss fashion with other like minded people and local boutiques. He setup an invitation code for UFN readers – it is UrbanFashion. It will work for anyone that visits stylescout.com and creates an account. Go check it out and let me know what you think.
After that I headed to a yoga class with my boot camp group and got all kinds of stretched out. Man, I need to do more of that! We tried to then eat at Bamboo Garden... Closed... Then Sushi Land... Closed... What the *&@#! I had no idea some restaurants closed early on July 3rd... We finally found a place open, Tup Tim Thai.
Friday was July 4th! We had a few friends over for BBQ'ing and socializing. Then we headed over to Geoff's boat to watch the fireworks on Lake Union. It was a really enjoyable time!
Saturday was pretty low key. Nothing worth writing about. Sunday I woke up and went to boot camp with Regina and Melissa... although I wasn't feeling real well so I did, like, woosie boot camp... When I got home I started to ache all over, my throat hurt, my head hurt, I had a temperature... I was coming down with the flu. I started taking emergen-c and trying to get myself medicated but I just felt worse and worse. It was a pretty miserable day.
I still didn't feel well on Monday so I stayed home and rested. Regina dropped off Back to The Future, that made me feel a little better. ;) I had so much free time I watched all the little commentary tidbits on the DVD. Did you know that Eric Stoltz was the original Marty McFly?!
Oh, and by the way, I found out yesterday my dog, Scooby, is in the running for the NWSource Pet Photo contest - please go vote for him here (he is on the 2nd row, middle picture). You can vote everyday if you want!! Reagan (our other dog) won last year and it's about time Scooby wins something - he is tired of her strutting around all the time... He'd love your support. :)
Ok, enough of my ramblings... Go enjoy the day!
