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 with friends one evening on our way to an event. We were drawn in by the savory aroma spilling out onto the street. My date was nice enough to snap a couple of pics of me in this outfit. According to the Nordstrom style experts, the look is expected to trend this fall. And since I’ve devoted this week to fall fashions, I’m here with the inside info.

This dress is by French Connection, and features a textured fabric that has inhabited fall runways. The hemline is short, so it can be worn either on a warm day or when the crisp fall air creeps up on us…just throw on a blazer.

My Natasha Couture clutch pops against the solid black. Natasha is a master of making accessories sparkle!
