For Travel Thursday, I’m telling you all about Ballard Pizza Company, the sought-after indulgence stop in this chill, artsy section of Seattle. In my mind, loving pizza is practically a requirement for being human. This landmark is ultra-popular and everyone is friendly. So even if you have to wait to be seated, you’re likely to make insta-acquaintances. I stopped by …
That would describe the Sorrento Hotel, where history, glam and gossip converge. This Seattle hub has been active since 1909. It still features afternoon tea in its historic lobby, followed by live performances in the evenings, and relaxing by the fire at night. Whether you’re staying in one of the guestrooms – all of which are one-of-a-kind – or stopping …
Milly’s latest line is a masterful indulgence in black and white. Here’s my latest find. I paired my Milly with a Natasha Couture quilted box clutch. This isn’t only a fashion accessory—the edges are thick and strong, meaning that it could double as a lethal weapon. Okay, I’m kidding! But if you run into a robber, your Natasha might come …
This week my blog will be a flash of fall fashions. But don’t worry—I’m not trying to snatch away your summer. I love it just as much as everyone else! So the looks I’ll be showing are also appropriate for August and early September. Today’s dress is straight from Eliza J. I thought this creation was perfect to feature on …
A girl can’t don this fierce EXPRESS top and flirty skirt – and then lace up a pair of comfy Nikes – without getting her dance on! https://instagram.com/p/rKuCwQCfPV/ These days, untamable animals aren’t only found in the wild…they’re taking over fashion. A hot look right now is edgy femininity, and EXPRESS has nailed the vibe. Faux leather skirts turn on …
To me, an ideal summer day consists of relaxing with friends…swimming, hitting up a festival, and spending the evening dancing around a bonfire. Since today is Travel Thursday, I’m sharing some slices of fantastic festivals. One of my favorite aspects of these events is the food. A friend recently asked what my guilty pleasure is when it comes to dessert. …
There is something so clandestine about taking the ferry to Bainbridge, an oasis of waterfront, boats, and plants. It’s as though I’m entering a bygone era. Even the plants blooming on the island look like heirlooms planted in gardens passed down through generations. I love butterfly bushes. When people see this vegetation in bloom, some recognize oriental wonders while others …
A friendly place where you grab a drink and mingle with friends is no longer the only kind of bar that’s popular. Braid Bars are trending. I encountered one while passing through Nordstrom. A DJ was remixing the top 40, hairdressers had set up shop next to him, and style mavens were lined up eager to get the hottest braids. …
I could write an epistle about why I’m a fan of this company, but I’ll boil it down to four words…chic, sophisticated and high quality. When a girl steps inside a Wolford store, she’s a goner. There is no longer such a thing as shopping self-control:) And she knows she’ll be coming back again! Here’s an Instagram video of me …
I’ve received questions about what I wore in my National Dance Day video. I was head-to-toe in Wolford, as you see from this screenshot of me whirling by. Wolford is one of my favorite lines. Next week, I’ll post more on this outfit. Plus, I’ll answer questions about the company. So if you haven’t met Wolford yet, get excited! And …
Everyone can benefit from dancing—not just on this Saturday, National Dance Day, but every day. In this little video, I filmed four generations dancing and edited them together. I hope you didn’t miss the elderly lady in the tangerine outfit swiveling her hips. She danced ballroom for years. She said that she was “thrilled” to be able to use some …
Come Saturday – National Dance Day – I hope that answer is “Everyone!” Right now, I’m cloistered in my room with my computer (well, honestly, and some ice cream) editing a video to post tomorrow. Here are some screenshots from it. I have combined a variety of people enjoying dance ranging from my little cousins, to me trying aerial silks …
Well, on my site it’s more like National Dance Week. When I heard that NDD is this Saturday, I adopted the theme. Each day this week, I’ll find a way to incorporate dance. So regardless of where you live, come the weekend, I hope you’ll be ready to get your groove on! Today, for Meeting Men Monday, I’m sharing a …
That would describe Marie Gray, creator of St. John Knits. When I was growing up, her designs were my mom’s favorite, so naturally when she made an appearance in our hometown, I really wanted to meet her. What impressed me most was that even though I was only ten, and clearly not a customer, she stayed late just to chat …
Buddy up to Beth if you’re making a stop in Seattle this summer. Her funky eatery has been a hub since the 50s and her legendary breakfasts are served 24/7, so there’s no time when Beth’s Café can’t cure your craving. Besides comfort food, this place is known for organic art. While waiting for your meal, you can draw something …
