City Glam | Seattle Outfit Post

City girl in skinny jeans and a baggy shirt met glam this weekend through accessories! While running around Seattle for a day I felt casual and classy. My 4 inch snake pattern wedges and big floppy hat were the perfect ending for a rather simple outfit. It made shopping fun and made for some lovely shoe compliments via retailer All Saints. Thanks to the sun my hair has been turning quite red and therefore matched the background perfectly (which is the EMP in Seattle).

Experience Seattle | 5 Things to keep you busy

If you had 3 hours to experience all that you could in Seattle, what would YOU do?! Here's my not so comprehensive list of things to do in Seattle- on the fly :)

**Between meetings and dinner dates, we only had a handful of hours to see Seattle and although I live so close via Portland I wanted to pack in as much as possible in case I never go back. (which after this trip will definitely happen).

#1. Seattle Center - Experience Music Project 

(Walls of EMP with Space Needle reflection)

#2. Fremont, which is a gorgeous area across the bay that gives anyone on a clear day the perfect view of the city. Complete with great coffee, gasworks park, vintage stores and a giant troll... yep. 

#3. For some not-so vintage shopping, we headed Downtown to experience the loveliness that is All Saints, Nordstrom flagship, and a myriad of other great shops!

#4. For delicious local food and entertainment, head to Pike's Place Market, just a few minutes from downtown! The truffle cafe awaits you! My favorite place yet, oh and just the first Starbucks ever... their sign was a little scandalous!

(Pike's Place Market)

#5. The famous alley of gum, walls covered and covered with colorful, chewed gum. 

(famous gum walls...)

Check back tomorrow to see what I wore, including the 4 inch wedges I walked in all day :) GREAT calf workout! Pin It

Portland Summer | Dolce & Gabbana Eyewear

Summer in Portland has not quite arrived, between our random days of sunshine and warmth you'll still find rain, grey clouds, and chilly mornings. Fortunately for me, I work inside a naturally lit building, so I can get away with summer outfits as long as I am indoors. With that said, here are our Portland summer skies and my outfit trying to brighten the day!
