Put some Spring in your step!

Don't lose heart, ladies -- the sun is soon going to come out of hibernation and the entire city will take a big happy pill. For getting out and about (because you're going to just feel like walking instead!) we’re bringing out fresh shipments of everyone’s favorite cool granny sandal, the Worishofer, as well as Toms Classic Canvas slip-ons, and Eric Michael to die for sandals.

Worishofers, if you’re unfamiliar, were catapulted out of the closets of German grandmothers when celebs like Maggie Gyllenhaal, MIA and pregnant ladies everywhere fell madly in love with them. You think they look like they’re made for shuffling around the retirement home until you put them on and see how cute they actually look with your little cuffed jeans or spring dress!


Toms are another perennial favorite here, not only for their casual versatility and comfort, but for their very noble practice of donating a pair of shoes to a person in need for each pair sold. Pretty awesome.


And just in at Show Pony are Eric Michael Wedges and Sandals, in both dressy and dressed-down styles. We love them for their creative color mixes and, of course, because they’re made for walkin’!

New Suzabelle

Boy, she has really done it this time. Suzanne Jaberg’s Spring/Summer 11 Suzabelle collection we think is her best ever. It’s everything about her line that makes it so special: fuss-free, yet pretty designs; phenomenal attention to detail and quality tailoring, flattering and timeless silhouettes with totally unexpected surprises in the details — a perfectly placed zipper or pocket, or a few gentle layers of fabric that make you feel beautiful like an orchid — all with a refreshing Spring feel.

Among the selection that just arrived at Show Pony are the oh-so-sharp Creed Blazer and Hawke Skirt, a fun and feminine Miramichi blouse with orange or azure stripes, and the super stylish Hollyhock Dress. We can’t wait to see how it all looks on you!

Creed Blazer $108 and Hawke Skirt $98
(Creed Blazer also available in Heather Grey)

Miramichi Blouse $97
(Also available in Azure)

Hollyhock Dress in Black and White Polka Dot $174

Hawthorne Shorts in Navy $98

Kingsley Dress in Navy $174

Denali Heart Print Top $115

Scout Dress in Black $176

It’s Trunk Show Time!

Time to come meet a few of our favorite local designers and buy directly from these lovely ladies with a handy-dandy 10% discount!

In the house will be Tara Smith of Revival Ink, a Show Pony mainstay with her much-loved screen printed knits using fair-trade, organic, recycled and bamboo fabrics. Tara will be previewing her new Spring creations as well as offering a few classic customer faves at the aforementioned discount.

Also joining us will be Cody Bay of a new jewelry line we’ve discovered, Seventy-Eight. Combining metalwork with materials like semi-precious stones, glass and leather, we love her work for its ability to combine just the right amount of eye-catching shine with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that is wonderfully wearable.

Daly Bird’s Tiffany Eley seriously has a way with leather, and we can’t get enough of her smokin’ earrings. Metallic paints give her designs a sexy, urban edge, and she makes use of materials like lamb skin to achieve an extra soft and luxe feel.

Topping it all off is Karyn Gold of Pirouette Essentials, also a Show Pony favorite that many of you know and love as a go-to gift for a birthday (or maybe to yourself because hey, it’s Wednesday). Her cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly soaps and perfumes smell like pure heaven and come wrapped in the loveliest darn packages you’ve ever seen.

Renew + refresh!

We are getting sooo giddy for Spring to get here and we know you all are too. The great designs that keep arriving are terribly inspiring. As soon as that first sunny day breaks through, we’re going to be ready for it -- and you can bet we’re going to welcome it not just with bells on, but probably a cute new brightly colored top, a flirty scarf and whatever fun accessories we can get away with before we start looking like a 4-year-old whose mom lets her dress herself.

Here’s a peek:

Modern, clean, comfortable and fashion-forward tops from Gentle Fawn.



New styles from Big Buddha -- we love how versatile and stylish these bags are, and at an impressive price point.




There’s nothing that makes you feel like floating on air than wearing a pair of soft, light feather earrings. And there’s something so sexy about them!

Fedoras, Anklets and other GBF’s

That’s a “Girl’s Best Friend,” in case you were wondering! We’re loving the looks that Spring has in store: flirty floral patterns and menswear-inspired styles for women—returns to minimalism (especially hot for the fellas right now) are always refreshing and fun, and even better when the ladies take it over and totally rock it.

Here are a few fabulous new items we have in stock to help you get the look:

French Curve Leggings and Anklets. Sheer socks with sweet, dainty patterns that look fantastic in heels or poking out of your ankle boots while we make that transition to brighter days.



Sheer gauze scarves in rose prints, butterflies and soft plaids -- pretty and carefree, they let you keep one foot in Winter while dipping your toes into Spring. Only $24!


Christy’s Crown Series Hats. Ok, we’re completely losing our heads over these. Classy and cute felt fedoras in two styles, one with a bow in back and one without. You’ll see what we mean when you put one on. They just look and fit amazing. Also a great price point at only $55/$58.


Tara Gasparian Rose Earrings. These vintage-inspired baubles add a romantic flare or dash of color and are a perfect finish to many a Spring look, whether you’re going girly girl or dapper dame.


We also love what happens when we put all these elements together. Come in and play dress-up!

On one rack, we’ve got some incredible winter coat and jacket finds -- we’re talking never-worn, mint condition camel hair, pea coats and more at ridiculous prices! And we hear next week may bring snow yet, despite what Mr. Groundhog said.

There is also a freaking adorable pair of Nave plum cuffed shorts that are just begging to be dressed up with some tights and high heels, plus practically brand-new 100 percent cashmere sweaters, lots of great denim, and a whole wall full of tall black leather boots!

Introducing Desigual!

Wow, if you’re about ready to break out from the winter doldrums, you must take a look at this new line. Well, new to us, anyway -- it was started in 1983 by a then-20-year-old from Switzerland who wanted his clothes to emanate positivity and joy from every seam. The company has grown sustainably and ethically, and is now based in Barcelona and followed by stylistas across Europe.

At Show Pony, we happen to think Desigual is exactly what Seattle needs right now! We love the bold prints and colors, the daring attitude, the fun flirtatiousness and the fabulous affordability. Yes, wearing these clothes is making a statement. You’re saying, “Hi! I’m here! And if you look at me you can’t help but smile!” If the grey sky still has you feeling uninspired, remember what Cyndi Lauper, one of the great masters of wearing a party, once said: “On my darkest days, I wear my brightest colors.”

Save the date + Enter to win a $100 shopping spree!

Show Pony is hitting the road again! We had a blast a couple of months ago when we packed up our favorite belongings over the holidays and took them downtown to visit our friends at the Robert Leonard Salon & Spa. So we’re doing it again in honor of Hallmark Day, er, Valentine’s Day, because we like our cheesy holidays with wine and, well, more cheese (triple cream or drunken goat, preferably)!

Stop by to get dolled up and romance-ready on Saturday, Feb. 12th. There will be jewelry, clutches, scarves, new Spring clothing and gift items, as well as eco-friendly makeup and other treats, and all Show Pony goodies will be 15% off! We’re also proud to be partnering with Middleton Family Wines, a wonderful family-owned Washington winery, who will be providing the sips.

And just a reminder that back at the ranch, Spring cleaning is still underway and our Fall/Winter Blowout Sale is still kickin’. We’ve got a good selection yet of jackets to choose from, and the discounts are only getting deeper. Come see the new markdowns!

Fantastic Fall/Winter Sale


Our big Fall/Winter Sale is in full swing! And the thing we love the most about a Fall/Winter sale is that it happens while it’s still winter! It’s plenty cold and ugly out there with lots more to come, so now is the time to get the stylin’ new jacket you’ve been wanting all season. Sale prices on jackets start at 20% off and all of our styles are marked down.

What else? Dru’s Designs, Weston Wear, Kensie, Line and Dot, Tulle and Lanston, plus our Suzabelle collection at 50-70% off. Fer real. You’ll also find great deals on winter accessories like our fingerless and leather gloves, over the knee socks, and hats. And all you little style squirrels will love foraging in the Dollar Bins, with all sorts of goodies marked at $9.99, $19.99 and $29.99. You could pack them away for next winter, but you might as well start enjoying them now.

Sale ends Monday, January 31st!

Happy 2011, friends! Fall/Winter Sale Starts Friday, January 7th

We had a great year in our first as owners of Show Pony. It’s been so fun getting to know all of the wonderful loyal customers we inherited and exciting to welcome new ones. Our first anniversary here was in December and we can honestly say we’re livin’ the dream by celebrating all of the creative, talented and passionate local designers we have in the Northwest and beyond, by being active members of the Fremont community, and helping its ladies bring out their natural glow!

So let’s bring on 2011! We’ve got an e-commerce website in the works -- because as much as we love seeing your smiling faces walk through the door, we realize you’re busy and value online convenience as well. You can also look for an expanded consignment section coming up in the next year. As for Pushkin, he’s a 50-lb teenager now. Having discovered that the fitting rooms are the cool place where the ladies get undressed, he tells us his resolution for 2011 is to spend a lot more time in them (and hopefully find more things to chew on).

Thanks to all you for making us a part of your lives! We wish you the very best in the year to come.
