Seattle Fashion Blogs:
The best blogs covering our scene...

Pike and Pine: This is the most well known fashion blog in Seattle. The street photos are the best, but the author can be slow to update, and it seems as though she spends more time out of Seattle than in. Still, you might spot somebody you know.
Urban Fashion Network: This is local fashion news and national news with a local interpretation. The event schedule is pretty good.
La Rousse: This fashion blog is run by a boutique, so the focus is commercial.
My Haberdasher: This is a men's fashion blog. It's a little thin, but the info is still good.
Cool Video: Here's dancers from Pacific Northwest Ballet in rehearsal for the upcoming West Side Story
