Sarah Caples may have been just a tyke when disco was first in vogue, but the busy charity fundraiser, stylist, mom and blogger (subterfugeseattle.com), 41, often looks ready to hit the floor at Studio 66 with her voluminous, tousled hair, platform heels and layers of gilded baubles.
Peppered in with her high-waisted jeans and flowing blouses are decidedly modern twists courtesy of colorful, bohemian dresses or luscious furs à la her style icon, Rachel Zoe, topped off with chunky, custom-made jewels from local designers.
“I’m a bit moody in my style,” she says. “Sometimes it skews towards rock ’n’ roll, sometimes more laid-back, but I love, love that glam.”
THE ENSEMBLE:
Abi Ferrin “Nikki” five-way polyester/spandex long dress with kimono sleeves and adjustable ties, The Finerie; custom-made smoky quartz ring, by Seattle jeweler Bruce Magnotti; vintage gold serpent chain-mail cuffs, from Queen Anne vintage shop Rhinestone Rosie; python-skin wraparound bracelets, by local designer Carole McClellan; gold serpent necklace, Sway and Cake.

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. Even just one purchase — a computer, for instance — can recoup a basic membership fee. Rumors have been swirling for years that the company would raise its…
