Frills and thrills.

The weather in Seattle has been phenomenal lately (I can actually wear summer dresses and rompers!), perfect for the mother's day weekend!

We headed over to Pike Place in the morning for some fresh flowers! They were gorgeous and had my favourite feathered tulips!

We went down south and had the most fabulous lunch with my family. My step-dad made amazing cajun meatloaf, which I've never had before, but it tasted just as great as if sounds if not better. I definitely took multiple helpings :) I also was able to take my mom's pup out for a walk.

I've been really enjoying pastels and the amazing Suzanne of Suzabelle Clothing sent me this fabulous dress that I haven't been able to wear yet until now.

a grande engagement.

As you may have picked up from the last post, my charming & adorable boyfriend of the past three years proposed! I should have known... but I had been so busy with my graduation that I had forgotten I told him "you have to wait until after I graduate!" to propose. Little did I know he would wait exactly one week! He flew in our friend, and amazing photographer, Jessica Valle for the proposal and engagement shoot. It was quite fun working with her and Ryan while walking all round the piers and pike place for the photos. Here are my favourites; hope you enjoy them:

Engagement outfit: 1. silk print blouse Tulle   2. pima modal tank Vince   3. high waisted skirt American Apparel   4. ankle booties Forever 21

last night's parties.

 1. print neon dress BCBG.   2. leather blazer ASOS.   3. neon yellow skinny belt ASOS.   4. winter legging American Apparel.   5. boots Sam Edelman.   6. blue-grey leather hobo Onna Erlich.

We went out to celebrate Karen's birthday with drinks and sport improv theatre at Unexpected Productions in Post Alley near Pike Place.  It was my first time at an improv show... it was fantastic! I will surely attend again.

Afterwards, we headed over to Bathtub Gin & Co. for some more drinks.  Marcus, the bartender, was great.  Everyone there had a story to tell and was incredibly friendly.  I also managed to devour an entire foot long polish hot dog (from the street vendor) while there... It was a heroic feat (for me, at least).
