Get Wrapped Up in Butter by Nadia




It slices, it dices! Please just watch this video of all the ways you can wear a Butter Wrap Dress. It’s like when you’re having an insomniac night, sitting bleary-eyed in front of the television, and some info-mercial comes on and suddenly you’re on the edge of your seat, wide awake and amazed, reaching for your purse except it’s all the way across the room and that would involve getting up from the couch.

Butter Wraps (with a much cuter model than the late-night TV variety and wayyy better music, by the way) are super-comfy, soft jersey dresses that can be worn dozens of ways. DOZENS. And every time it’s a completely different dress: strapless, halter, Grecian one-shouldered goddess, kimono, sleeveless, capped sleeved, just as a skirt, and the list seriously goes on. You need something casual and tasteful to wear to work? Something light, summery and barely-there? Something elegant for a soiree? Something that just feels comfortable and looks nice because you’re seven months pregnant? You got it, and it’s all the same dress! (or IS it?) You can show as much or as little skin as you want, and dress it up or down. We got ‘em, ladies. Don’t wait. Call now. Operators are standing by. Just kidding.

Meet our new mascot, Pushkin!

Ok, ok, so he’s not a pony. But come on, a pony–even a small one–would be pretty hard to keep in the shop, don’t you agree? So instead we got this little guy: a foot-long, roly-poly bundle of seriously excruciating cuteness!


We’ve only had him a week, but he’s already turning out to be an excellent shop dog. He rolls around all over the floor to polish it and is always trying to help by pulling bags out of the stack under the counter, even when no one’s buying anything! (Silly Pushkin.) Plus, he’s got great taste. Just yesterday a customer was checking out a pair of skinny jeans and Pushkin pulled the perfect belt out of the basket to go with them. He’s very enthusiastic and thinks every piece of clothing looks great on everyone (though we’re trying to teach him to be a little bit more discerning and constructive). For a puppy, he’s pretty mellow, and above all, sweeter and more cuddly than any pony could ever be!

So a little bit more about him:
  • Age: 3 months
  • Breed: English bulldog
  • Lineage: Russian on one side (hence the name, after Alexander Pushkin), British on the other. His grandfather is a prize-winning show dog named BritishPride the Gambler!
  • Sign: Taurus
  • Email address: pushkinisabully@aol.com

If you email him, he promises to write back. Heck, he might even send you epic works of Russian poetry!

Summer Sale on Fire!


Ok, you guys know how summers are here. Sad, drippy June, finally sunshiny July, glorious August and amazingly perfect September. In honor of the gobs of sunshine left to come, we’re going to keep our Summer Sale kicking for another 10 days until August 15th so you can take advantage of the goods! If you’ve had your eye on a summer frock, now’s the time, ladies – a lot of these little darlings have been marked down (and marked down again, woot!) up to 70 percent off, which is pretty unbeatable. It’s also a great time to get your hands on some summer Suzabelle, which has been marked down 30 percent (think fall weddings!). Shoot, did we say fall? Sorry. We’re not ready to think about that either. See you soon!

Don’t knock the granny sandals + Tom’s wedges - Get 'em before they're gone!

If you have a German granny, she probably has a pair of Worishofer sandals. If she still gets out, dresses snappy and shows people what’s what, maybe she’s got a pair to go with every outfit—because that’s how many different colors there are. And guess what? Your Worishofer-wearin’ granny does know what’s what! You should put a pair on your own feet and see how a cute dress, a little toenail polish and the sound of your feet breathing a heavenly sigh transport them out of grannyland and into ohmygoshimusthavethese land (yes, that’s a real place). They’re SO comfortable. And that’s not code for ugly. They’ve been spotted on the feet of Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, Kirsten Dunst and MIA, who apparently wears them over big puffy white sweat socks (though we’re not sure this is a practice we can condone, even in Seattle). The point is, we just ordered a new shipment in black, red, tan, navy, white, bronze, green and yellow, and you’ve got to come in and try them on. They’re only 58 bucks!!




Also this week, we’re welcoming in new versions of Tom’s canvas wedges in cranberry and black ($69). This is a more stylish, dressy version than the classic boat or beach shoe style. They’re light, summery, cute and casual, and seriously, who has ever heard of a company that donates one whole pair of shoes to a kid who needs them for every single pair of shoes that one of us buys?! So cool.
