A Walk in the Park

Megan Park Spring Collection

As your former stalkee — er, sweetheart — can attest, you don’t have a problem with commitment. Except, of course, when it comes to your wardrobe (which has more one-hit wonders than VH1’s Where Are They Now?).

Might we suggest something that’s worth hanging on to? Specifically, Australian-born designer Megan Park’s exquisite handmade dresses and handbags.

The former textile designer got her start in the early ’90s, following work in London with clients like Dries Van Noten and Givenchy. But prepare to swoon over her timeless, painstakingly created spring designs. Sweet vintagey clutches are precious as heirlooms; a rose-hued sundress will have you feeling pretty in pink through summer and beyond.

Such quality doesn’t come cheap, of course. But luckily, everything is as comfy as it is beautiful.

Because, as you know, there’s nothing worse than being restrained.

Available at Les Amis, 3420 Evanston Avenue North (206-632-2877); La Ree Boutique, 11 103rd Avenue Northeast, at Main Street, Bellevue (425-453-7868). To see styles, go to meganpark.co.uk.
