At last, the Glitter Gala takes place this evening in downtown Seattle at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel! In addition to great food and fabulous jazz, we have a one-of-kind fashion show, "Fashion in Film," in store for the full crowd coming to this glamorous event!
If you can't attend tonight's Gala, we'll be streaming our fashion show live at 7:30 pm, and you can watch it by clicking on the link at the right. Remember, you can purchase the fashions you see on the runway at next week's Glitter Sale, Sat. & Sun., Nov. 14 & 15. And we'll be showcasing more of the amazing clothing and accessories that will be on sale at that event right here over the next several days. Don't miss it!

If you're looking for just one dress this holiday season, something to wear year in and year out, then the black dress, short or long, is it. We have racks of black gowns and LBDs like this one with rhinestone trim and pleated skirt.
This black dress reminds me of Carole Hannah's lovely Palm Beach dress on Project Runway. Remember the twisted fabric detail on the back?
And this satin gown with a deep V and rhinestone pin is absolutely stunning. It will definitely turn heads.
The classic trench coat is a closet staple; you can go anywhere or do anything in it. So it was exciting to come across two very different designer trench coats the other day, both slated for the Glitter Sale. This short yellow Escada trench will brighten up the rainiest of your Seattle days and put a smile on the face of everyone who crosses your path.
This long, wool twill trench coat is a Christian Dior, and in it you'll cut a fine figure as you dash about town.
Looking for something that looks great for the holidays and long after? These shoes will do the trick. Black patent peep-tow wedge sandals from Jessica Simpson.
Suede rosettes pop on these classic cut-away heels from Banana Republic.
Leather and suede kitten heels, also from Banana Republic.
From the "Sunday Styles" section of the New York Times to the pages of InStyle magazine, it's clear that this season's must-have fashion statement is the faux fur vest. As luck would have it, you'll find them, and a whole lot more this coming weekend, at the Glitter Sale.
We'll also have racks and racks of faux fur jackets and coats--here's one of my favorites, a plush faux fur topper from the Coat Room at Marshal Fields. It's the perfect foil for cold weather, and a fashionable one at that!
It was a glamorous evening of fashion with "real" celebrities like Ashley Robinson of the Seattle Storm and
celebrity look-alikes, like Audrey Hepburn. Our "Fashion in Film" runway show, produced in conjunction with the Art Institute of Seattle, offered up a full array of Hollywood stars.
Napoleon Dynamite.
