Wanted: Rock star BDDirector with online exp @Razorfish http://jobs-aarf.icims.com/jobs/4994/job. Ok, there is my plug for our fabulous team...It's February, and in case you've missed it, the economy is in an uproar. We are constantly bombarded with an influx of bad news (more layoffs, businesses closing, foreclosures, homelessness increasing). So what's a shopinista to do? Have been doing a lot of thinking about this as a number of much loved local businesses and restaurants have shuttered their doors recently, and although I'm not advocating spend like there's no tomorrow, I do believe that there will be a tomorrow, and we will come through this even stronger than ever. Maybe with less stuff, but in the end, you can't take it with you - so make sure that what you spend your hard earned money on brings you joy - through postitive, lasting memories, not just something that gives you a quick jolt of pleasure and then is outdated.
In that vein, I've decided to take up this blog again and plug those places that consistently provide me with the former. First on my list would have to be Polite Society - http://www.shoppolitesociety.com/ciety.com/. Located in downtown Seattle, right up the from Pike Place Market (and across the street from La Pichet - yummy French bistro), Eric Akines, the owner, Ben, Anna, and the rest of the team consistently deliver high end, eclectic designers for women, as well as some pretty nifty antiques and home furnishings. Prices are on the high end, sales are incredible, and the pieces I've purchased here are CONSISTENTLY the one's I recieve the most compliments on - they are pieces that anchor my wardrobe, and make me smile when I wear them. Whenever I need some retail therapy, I'll just pop into Polite Society - even if it's just to look. It is a beautifully laid out, welcoming space, and the folks there are TERRIFIC. Polite Society makes me feel pretty, and for a girl, in good times and in bad, that is a very good thing.
