Turns out it pays to say stuff like,“Oh, I need to have this for myself” while looking at a two-year old’s short-sleeved boat-neck sweet-cream colored sweater, because every once in a while it works.
More or less.
Not that I had anything at all to do with it, but I used those words while gazing wistfully at Flora and Henri’s tot-sized high-style pieces last August, and this past Wednesday the locally based line launched Flora Femme, a collection of French-feeling, sweet, easy, wearable women’s looks on Flora, the new big sister (or mom, aunt, friend, whatever) label to the original.
Flora Femme also includes Paul and Joe beauty products; various, assorted, and just plain gorgeous jewelry pieces; and a handful of picnic dresses and swing tops by Matta.
See the slideshow for some of our favorite examples, then visit the still-relatively-new store in the Oddfellows Building for more. The collection is available for pre-order right now – it should be in-stock by the end of April.

Q What looks like abstract surrealist weaponry, feels like a weighty postmodern narrative, and sounds like earth, wind, and fire (not the band, the actual elements)?
A The art pieces at next weekend’s Indulge at Bellevue Arts Museum
Tough to call the work of the 30 North American artists (why yes, there are a handful of locals) included in what BAM calls a “marketplace” jewelry although of course the enamel, metalwork, glass, strung-gems, and other pieces are meant for adornment and accessorizing.
An opening bash on Friday Feb 5 from 6 – 9 gets you a sneak peak and a more exclusive audience with the designers and their wares; on Saturday and Sunday the show is open from 11 to 5; entrance is $10, or $14 for both the jewelry show and BAM exhibits.
