In Vogue, Bellevue

Shopping at In Vogue makes me want to go on a date with a handsome, tan man at a see-and-be-seen club somewhere in Miami. Or Los Angeles. Something about the boutique's silky tank tops, colorful halters, strapless dresses, playful prints, and luxe fabrics leave me longing for a Balenciaga bag to hang on one arm and a Ken doll to hang on the other.

In Vogue's owner, Gee Kaur, is young and chic, and she stocks her boutique with clothes suited for Hollywood hotties like Jessica Alba and Mischa Barton. Items at In Vogue are sometimes trendy, sometimes classic, but always fashionable, feminine, and sexy. Simply stepping into the boutique, with its white walls, crisp lighting, and sleek windows, makes you feel like you are hanging out somewhere much hipper than a busy intersection of Bellevue. Somewhere like St. Barts, maybe. Or Dubai.

Gee herself is a graduate from the fashion design program at the Art Institute of Seattle. While Gee hasn't had time for much designing since opening In Vogue two years ago, she does dream of stocking her store with her creations sometime soon. When I ask her what celebrity she would want to wear her clothes, she does not hesitate in her response: Eva Longoria. Yes! I could totally see it.
