friday find · holiday edition!

'tis the season.

of holly and berries.

drinks and being merry.

making memories with family and friends.

and. of course.

the holiday parties!

and this year, both the hubby and i were rockin' some of our fabulous finds at each different shin dig.

guess which parts of our looks are thrifted?

tie? suspenders? blazer?

mmhmm. yup. yes!

of course there are little santas on his suspenders.

love him too much.

don't count me out though!

my killer shirt?

scored it at the amazing consignment boutique i told you about this spring!

merry christmas to you and yours from me and him

may it be filled with love, laughter and maybe a couple pick-ups from your local thrift store. ;-)

muse · update on a past muse

remember these two?

they just got engaged!

and had an engagement shin dig at this clever bar in seattle.

i love parties. and i love LOVE.

so a party to celebrate love?

WIN. WIN.

in addition to the old-timey drinks highlighted on their walls, they offered a 'spicy serrano peach cocktail' which had my name written all over it. 

mmmmm.

side note: all i want for my next birthday is these balloons.

congrats you two!

seeking inspiration · becoming king

the other day, i went to a titanic party. (yes, titanic. great theme and even better party!)

while there, i met JD.

and today - TODAY - he's doing something big.

a bit south of seattle, in tacoma, he's opening a menswear mercantile: he's curated a collection of phenomenal pieces, from designer to vintage and, starting today at 10am, the store opens for you.

inspiration found!

feather and oar.

worth checking out today...and tomorrow...and next week.

meet you there.

meet JD. 

next stop: king of menswear.

muse · halloween special!

i had a party.

celebrity themed.

and some of the costumes were just too spot on (or too funny!) not to share!

so i give you:

my halloween celebrity muses.

(click the images to confirm who each of the muses are inspired by!)

one of the best movies of 2012.

they referred to themselves as 'before and after doping'.

turns out these two had a little controversy in 2010 (when she was still alive).

he's dating ellie goulding! (no, not my brother.)

don't you just love her?

the best couple in reality tv!

and my costume doesn't need an explanation, does it? happy halloween! 

xox, jpotmont

muse · in twin style

it was like a dream.

i turned my head and saw these two about to strut onto the elevator.

so, naturally, like any good stalker, i hopped up and sprinted down the stairs so i could see how fabulous these two were from the front.

and they were. fabulous.

twins!

ANNETTE and FLORINE.

the sweetest ladies you ever did meet...in matching floral prints.

i told these two dolls that i want to be them when i grow up. so i have a few decades to find myself a twin!

of course there was a quick touch up prior to the photo.

Annette (on the left): "I don't let just anyone use my lipstick you know!"

muse·in-dividuality

let's be clear...this is a STYLE blog. not a fashion blog. 

fashion·trends...they're ever-changing, fluid: what's in this morning is out this afternoon.

but individual style? that's forever. 

stay true to yourself and true to your body type? i want your picture immediately.

below is the sweetest cuddlebug i've met. rocking his poncho over his wolf shirt. i asked him if i could take his picture. "sure", he said softly. and then grabbed his friend's hand.

swoon.

muse·in the details

you're going to wedding. so rock a blazer. just make sure you rock one that forces people to take a second look.

BLAKE knows it's all in the details...

seeking·inspiration·dolce vita x solestruck event!

last night i got dolled up, grabbed a girlfriend and sped off to the DOLCE VITA x SOLESTRUCK shoe collection preview event.  walked in to a party where the models were rockin' DV8's new line and mingling with other party-goers.

there were some hot shoes, sure, but you know i was more interested in everyday people rockin' their own personal style.

and i found some true hotness...so stay tuned...

caught ya!

model?

if the shoes fit...

muse·in her closet

throwback 1960s party: breezy floral print dress? check. sexy bangs? check. bright lipstick? check. poofy petticoat? sure, had that in the back of her closet.

the old school prom pose is just a bonus.

muse·in her element

there is something so incredibly sexy about a woman completely in her own element and unconcerned about anyone·anything else (especially while wearing a bridesmaid dress she wasn't so sure about in the first place)
