Six chandeliers grandly line the center of Stylus Salon's high ceiling. In fact, each carefully placed accoutrement -- from the appliance cabinets to the chairs -- brings functional style to the edgy new Belltown salon, the brainchild of Seattle stylists Robert Middleton (formerly of heavy-hitting local salons Red and Halo) and Jesus Ezcabar.

When I recently walked into shimmering new boutique Dolce Vita, which
opened last month in Ballard, I was overwhelmed with the sense that I
had somehow been transported to L.A. -- or more specifically, West

I lived downtown for years and while it was great to have the Pike
Place Market in my backyard, there was really no place to shop for

Nothing brightens a gray June day -- and we've had our share of them --
like a bunch of colorful flowers. But since the blooms in your garden
aren't quite ready for cutting, a bouquet from TerraBella Flowers fits

There is a group on Facebook called "I Don't Care How Comfortable Crocs Are, You Look Like A Dumbass." There are 863,583 members. This hurts my feelings a little, because I am an avid Croc wearer, as is my husband and my little girl. They're perfect for gardening and for slipping on to run to the store. And darn it, they are comfortable.
