“As an interior designer that is now heavily involved in the fashion world, the inspirations often cross, and I wanted a space devoted to highlighting the harmony between the two.”
-Shalonne Foster, CEO and Creative Director
Seattle, WA / March 1, 2011 - Fashion Network-Seattle launched a new travel and hospitality-inspired section to the blog called "Travel Chic," which reviews destination properties in the Pacific Northwest through a fashionista’s lens and is written by CEO and creative director, Shalonne Foster. Obsessed with linens, textures, colors and design, Fashion Network-Seattle’s Travel Chic, draws parallels between fashion collections and the design aesthetics of the overall venue as well as individual rooms. Featured reviews also offer information on nearby shopping destinations and packing tips based on the property.
SeaTac, Washington’s Cedarbrook Lodge is the first property featured in Travel Chic. The property’s hidden luxury with a Northwest flair inspired Ms. Foster to write, ”just to be clear, when you hear the word ‘Lodge’ think less Chevy Chase digs a la National Lampoon’s Vacation and more Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. With an overall color scheme of tone on tone browns with pops of ruby, green, yellow and blue the similarities are apparent. The beauty in the RL Collection as well as Cedarbrook is the texture.”
An editorial endeavor close to Ms. Foster’s heart, she explains that “people always want to know about great places to stay, shop and what they should pack before visiting and as an avid traveler who extensively researches destinations before departing, I realized I sometimes had trouble finding all the answers, so I really hope that Fashion Network-Seattle readers find this useful.”
