BENSIMON: GRAYSCALE CHUKKAS AND MID-TOPS

Check out Bensimon. For Summer 2010, the historic French shoemaker is stocking Blackbird with two new styles along with their traditional Lacet low tops. Being Blackbird, we of course ordered everything in shades of gray. Oh, and navy blue. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Mid-Tops and Chukkas!

PURPLE: THE SKY KING THING FOR SPRING

Yesterday was one of the most beautiful sunny days Seattle has seen this winter, and we were inspired to get out and show a little color off before the rains returned. Looking around the store, we saw a lot of one of our favorite (non-black) colors showing up for this spring, and we decided to get a little goofy with a photo project. Newly inspired, we decked out Sky, our Candy Shoppe guy and photo intern, in head to toe purple, and headed out to snap some photos. Check it:

Sky K., Purple People Person, 22nd and Ballard Ave., just down the street from Blackbird.

Sky headed back to the Bird after successfully freaking out the Ballard locals.

Sky's gear in this photo shoot includes:

Coal hat in store only
Faliero Sarti scarves in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com
