Deal time! Consignment + Porch Sale


What’s better than a sale at Show Pony? TWO sales at Show Pony! We’re clearing out some space upstairs with a Consignment Sale starting Friday, September 30th, with lots of great markdowns on Spring and Summer items including shoes, tops, jeans and shorts (c’mon, you know you want to rock them over a pair of cable knit tights and tall boots). What that means are even better discounts on designer duds that are already discounted (because isn’t that why we’re so gaga for consignment?). We’ve got to make room for fall merchandise, so now’s your chance to take advantage of 20-50% off!

Secondly, we’re very excited about this Sunday morning’s Porch Sale. From 9am-12pm only, come visit us on our front porch for some serious treasure hunting. We’ll have $5, $10 and $15 deals where you can find some fabulous perfumes, soaps, jewelry, bags, hats, scarves and candles. This sale is cash only, so be sure to bring your dollar bills, y’all! Pushkin has agreed to give up his favorite spot for a few hours, but that’s all we could get out of him—even with overly-generous treat bribes. So get yourself out of bed, grab a big cup of coffee and get here early for the best finds!

Saako Scarves


Is it a scarf? Is it a necklace? Who cares, it’s awesome! Saako, an international design label based in Barcelona, made its Show Pony debut last month and you all are so curious about it, we thought it was time for a little introduction and background.

The company was started by Ines Brito and Joana Gouveia, two young graphic designers from Portugal who wanted to apply their talents to showcasing the vibrant style and traditions of their native country with an ethos of sustainability. The result was a funky piece of neckwear using upcycled ribbed jersey fabrics from Portugal that are animated, cozy and fun to wear. Each one is made by hand by local women who take pride in the textile traditions of Portugal and Spain.

We love watching people put these on and transform an everyday outfit like jeans and a tee or leggings and a tunic into something a bit more interesting. One thing is for sure, people are going to want to touch these wherever you go, so be prepared!

Introducing Erika Lauren Jewelry

First of all: Wow. We are simply bowled over by a new collection of jewelry the likes of which we have never seen. Called the Eco-luxe Collection, Erika Lauren’s pieces were all born out of found materials, such as the brass bullet casings of her father’s antique gun collection, and from there explode is such a brilliant statement of color and creativity, it takes sustainable and eco-friendly to a place we never imagined it would go, like a vegetarian meal that somehow beats the pants off of any carnivorous feast you could ever have.
 
The Vancouver Island native incorporates metal hardware, colorful fibers and found gemstones (never mined) into designs that are edgy, bold and joyful. You can see hints of ‘70s boho, ‘80s glam and urban punk, but these pieces are altogether here, now and very classy. We hope you’re as excited by them as we are!

Seattle magazine Fall Fashion Finds!

Happy September, everyone! Have you seen this month's issue of Seattle mag? It is so chock full of the latest and greatest of what the season has to offer, and guess what? We were thrilled to discover as we flipped through the pages that we just happen to be a one-stop shop for many of their great finds.

Starting with Daly Bird earrings--ahh, we're happy to say we knew her when. A sure-fire Show Pony favorite, the fabulous Ms. Tiffany Eley is certainly taking the world by storm with her super sexy metallic leather pieces. And you might recognize another of our staples on the cover, the ever-glamorous Tuesday Scarves, which move with us seamlessly from season to season. (We even have the exact scarf in stock that you see on the cover. Heck yeah!) To make this little accessory party complete, we just received a new shipment of those fanciful, darling Appetite bags. With sturdy but not too heavy materials and warm, whimsical designs, they're the perfect transition bag.

So what are you waiting for? Get thee to Show Pony and get yourself outfitted like the best of 'em!
