We HEART Michael Cepress Studio|Showroom (417 E Loretta Place) & those skinny ties! So hot. So local.
And we can’t wait for March when Michael launches MC READY-TO-WEAR, an exclusive collection of fine menswear basics available at his Capitol Hill location. Check out Michael’s blog.
It’s time to put your money where your heart is… SHOP LOCAL!
If you are hunting for something special for the ladies, try:
- baubles or bangles from Hitchcock in Madrona or Kimberly Baker Jewelry in Fremont.
- a gift certificate for a facial at Jill Bucy in the MarQueen Hotel (lower Queen Anne) or High Maintenance on Capitol Hill.
- adorning her finger with something from Fancy, Jamie Joseph, or a custom setting made by Jana Brevick.
- sweets from Fran’s Chocolates, Oh Chocolate, or Theo Chocolates.
To show your man he’s someone special, go to:
- Matt’s in the Market (in the heart of Pike Place Market) for a 5-6 course meal with optional wine pairing.
- Kuhlman (belltown), Blackbird (ballard), or Jackstraw Filaments (downtown) to spice up his wardrobe.
- SnoCon for 40% off all snowboards this presidents’ day weekend (south lake union).
For couples who like to share the gifts, give each other:
- a Glassybaby votive or two for to ignite romance.
- art from Velocity Art & Design in South Lake Union.
- or share a cupcake from Cupcake Royale or Trophy Cupcakes.
LOVE your CITY!
