oh darling, let's be adventurers.

Loving this Etsy print from Fifi du Vie. Thinking it will be my next purchase.

a city I love (seattle).

This month I said farewell to my BFF, who moved to Seattle for work. It took my girlfriends and I five days before we packed our bags and headed to the northwest for a visit from the welcome wagon. Seattle, despite the weather, thoroughly impressed me. Here's a few of the greatest places where we ate, shopped, and made new friends.

• Pike Place Market (obviously!)
• Etta's Seafood - I get the impression that Tom Douglas is a local legend, with restaurants on nearly every corner. Etta's is the perfect spot for some delicious seafood (we nearly died from a food coma after eating the crab cakes!). Snag a seat by the window for some prime people watching, gorgeous water views, and a warm escape.
• Quinn's - Yummy and quirky. Just the way we like it!
• Unicorn - Circus meets fabulous. There's nowhere else like it...
• Toulouse Petit - Bringing a little NOLA to the Northwest. Hands down the best meal of the weekend.
• Bathtub Gin & Co. - If you're lucky enough to find this place, make sure you stay for a while. Hidden in a quiet alley behind a tiny, nondescript door, expect to be questioned by the other patrons about how you ended up there.

a love list.

new york, new york.

I love New York City. With all of my heart. I love it even more because for quite a while, it took care of one of my favorite people. 

Here's a little story about a Thanksgiving trip I took to visit my sister in the big city.

In the midst of redecorating. Brainstorming what to put on my walls, and in love with these Map prints by JHill Design. Thinking of collecting them for every place I visit! Check them out (and many more beautiful options) by clicking on the photo.
