In the middle of fashion no-man's-land you'll find Olive, a convenient and friendly boutique that opened at the end of December. The fashion haven is sandwiched between a Starbucks and Quizno's Subs in the Redmond Ridge QFC/Trilogy Shopping Centers where owners Michele Fox and Kerrie Lynn Wilton hope to attract suburban Eastsiders from cities such as Duvall, Woodinville and Carnation. The interior is more urban than suburban with finished concrete floors, an open ceiling with an exposed HVAC system painted charcoal gray, sage green walls and prominent iron chandeliers.

The ankles are skinny to varying degrees; Kate Moss-types can rock the peg-leg at 10 inches around, but a more straight-leg 14- to 16-inch perimeter achieves the look just as well. And with just about every designer denim line producing a skinny jean, there's no acceptable reason to wear those so-five-years-ago boot cuts ever again. At least not until they come back into favor.

When the occasion calls for more than a fig leaf, it's time for a ferry ride. Just a brisk walk or short drive from the ferry dock on Bainbridge Island, you'll find a clothing emporium packed with trendy clothing for men and women from contemporary and independent designers.
