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
Fjallraven backpack in store only
Obey long sleeve shirt in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com
Odyn Vovk tank in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com
Robert Geller washed leather trousers in store only
Marcoliani dress socks in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com
Bensimon sneakers in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com
Eat.Shop Seattle Guide in store and at BlackbirdBallard.com

STAND BY YOUR MAN: BUY YOUR MAN SOCKS HE CAN STAND

BlackbirdBallard.com's sock section is nothing if not well stocked at the moment. We know the holidays are still a ways out, but if you're looking for an easy gift for almost any guy, think high quality socks from reliable brands like Marcoliani and Punto. As a dude, I can say with confidence that socks are one thing that most dudes can definitely appreciate but almost never think to buy for themselves - just a little food for thought. With that, here's Tammy Wynette with some good solid dating advice:

MARCOLIANI SPRING SOCKS
