What’s up with the Tuesday scarves?

Why is it that every time a customer leaves the store with a Tuesday scarf, we’re afraid she might never be seen or heard from again? Like she’s got a classic convertible waiting outside, a full tank of gas and a date with destiny?

Well, apparently, designer Rian Robison, a hometown Seattle gal, was trying to come up with a name for her amazing scarves (yes, those brilliant infinity-style numbers that keep flying out of here every time we feel a summer breeze). She put one on and a friend declared that she looked like Tuesday Weld, that adorable biscuit of a Hollywood starlet from the 1960s and ‘70s. No wonder!

Weld herself may have been underappreciated, but her namesake scarves are certainly not. Handmade from gloriously patterned silks and cottons, the lightweight, looping style can be worn as a wrap-around scarf, cowl or hood. They’re the perfect accessory to add a little summer chic and y’all know it!

Seriously, though, next one of you who leaves with that sparkle in your eye better save some room in the back seat – we’re coming, too!

Show Pony trunk show on Friday showcases local jewelry designers

By Kathy Schultz
July 15, 2010

Add a little sexy sparkle to your summer sundress with gems and jewelry from three local designers. Show Pony in Fremont is hosting a trunk show on July 16 from 4 to 8 p.m. You'll have a wide variety of jewelry to choose from, including sleekly modern, romantically flirty and edgy vintage pieces. Come and meet the designers, enjoy summery drinks and nosh on savory treats from Flying Apron Bakery.

The local girls behind the designs include Becky Larimer of b. larimer jewelry design, Lauren Harkness of Divine Design and Naomi Campos of YedOmi Jewelry. Megan Leone, a former Seattleite now in Massachusetts, will also have her designs featured during the trunk show. Each designer will present a comprehensive selection of their collections at a 10 percent discount. Prices start at $50.

Each designer offers one-of-a-kind pieces. Lauren Harkness uses precious metals, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls and silk. Her hammered sterling silver necklaces are modern and versatile. Becky Larimer handcrafts everything from chunky gemstone necklaces to silver hoop earrings incorporating interesting beads. Naomi Campos creates feminine necklaces and earrings with colored gemstones inspired by earth and ocean. Campos uses a metal technique to create tiny "caviar bead" clusters. Megan Leone's eco-conscious jewelry is made with predominantly vintage and recycled materials.

If you don't have a summer top or dress to pair with those pretty earrings or that new necklace, you're in luck. Show Pony is kicking off its summer sale that day, with 20 to 70 percent off of summer clothing and accessories.

This holiday weekend, Saturday July 3rd - Monday July 5th, we’re offering 10 percent off on all consignment on the store’s upper level, and there are some great pieces up there just waiting for the proper home! We have an amaaaaazing vintage crocheted white dress (it would be the talk of the July 4th BBQ ladies, seriously); a super cute Banana Republic animal print wrap dress (with the tags still on, at less than half the price!); a cream-colored faux snakeskin A-line suede skirt from Sharagano Paris that we know one of you can rock; and some lucky gal is going to score a totally smokin’ pair of black leather ankle boots from L.A.M.B. (Gwen Stefani’s shoe line); and that’s just the beginning! There’s a white and green Fred Perry track jacket that we can’t believe is still on the rack; a Catherine Malandrino orange silk skirt with covered side buttons; an adorable Milly sun dress in blue and brown leopard print chiffon, not to mention tons of denim, Capri pants, layering pieces, and a particularly nice collection of handbags.
