Warby Parker Winter Collection
Where: 3501 Fremont Ave N and online
What: Warby Parker (now open in Seattle) launched its winter collection yesterday. Five new shapes–Chilton, Chelsea, Baker, Wilder, and Eaton–have been added to the eyewear selection in a cooler palette of blues, greys, and crystals. The styles complement returning pieces (in new colors) from the Japanese titanium Luminary Collection, resulting in a total of 20 new frames, all of which are available in Warby Parker stores and showrooms, as well as online at warbyparker.com. Acetate frames start at $95 and Japanese titanium at $145, and, as always, for every pair sold, a pair is given to someone in need.
Jamie Joesph Trunk Show at Essenza
Where: 615 N 35th St
What: Essenza will debut Seattle-based jewelry designer Jamie Joseph’s The Golden Joinery Collection at their bi-annual trunk show this Saturday from 11- 7 p.m. The luxury selection of rings, earrings, and necklaces highlights gemstones fused together with 22K gold in a style similar to Kintsugi–the traditional Japanese art of mending pottery. This method requires hand-cutting and polishing, which occasionally leads to fracturing, leaving behind unusual, beautifully shaped remnants. The event will include one-of-a-kind pieces, bubbly, and other goodies.
Osei-Duro Trunk Show at Glasswing Shop
Where: 1525 Melrose Ave
What: As a part of the Capitol Hill Arts Walk on Thursday, Glasswing Shop will feature a trunk show of clothing and home goods from sustainable fashion brand, Osei-Duro. Based in Accra, Ghana and Los Angeles, Osei-Duro creates clothing collections that incorporate hand-dyed fabrics from Ghana and southern India cut in modern silhouettes. Co-founder and designer Maryanne Mathias will be present for a meet-the-maker portion of the evening.

Costco Hikes Membership Fees
The company last raised the price in 2017
[addtoany]I love shopping at Costco. Sure, our household doesn’t always need 18 tubes of toothpaste at once, but that’s a small price to pay for the savings.
