This past Saturday, my main squeeze and I began the birthday week festivities a little early with a beautiful stroll through the city, happy hour at one of my favorite South Lake Union spots (Cactus!) and a movie date to see Maleficent. Also, did I mention that he let me pick out my birthday present? With specific parameters that the gift had to be useful, I chose this beauty - the Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Dinky Bracelet Watch. Watches are totally a must-have for staying on time and as stylish arm candy, right? 

Since we were keeping it casual and venturing through downtown Seattle the whole day, I needed my birthday outfit to be cute but comfy. As such, it was the perfect opportunity to take out my skort from Zara for a spin. Party in the front and practical in the back - I'd say this was one of my favorite Zara purchases of all time. It's definitely going to be part of my summer adventure looks and a must-pack for my trip to the East Coast in July. 

Also, I just can't get enough of my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Crossbody and Tory Burch sandals. They are the perfect tan/beige color to mix match with casual denim outfits or with a dressier look. Even though my Mini Mac is one of my smaller purses, I can stuff quite a bit in there (amazeballs).

We got a little sassy towards the end... 

So the verdict's in... Saturdays are for skorts and sangria this summer.. *insert smiley face*

Tell me, what are your must-wears this season?

in a nutshell: these past two weeks

These past two weeks have been absolutely nut-so. Highlights include food-styling and a neat citrus inspired photo shoot for a client. Hence the vibrant oranges and lemons pictured above. Whoever knew that food-styling was an actual thing and that it takes hours to perfect?! 

Then it was work work work work.... 

Easter weekend with my main squeeze and friends. Prepped for a client work trip in Canada which included purchasing a new purse... because with high-stress events comes retail therapy? That makes total sense, right?  See my new beauty below... she's real pretty!

Countless hours on-site with the client, a bajillion tweets and a dozen cups of coffee later.... including a fabulous fashion show, I was back in Seattle and scrolling through a scary inbox of unread emails. It was a frighteningly quick two weeks, but I'm absolutely blessed with the many opportunities I had and the experiences I gained. BUT what I'm most excited about... is the chance to take things a little bit slower and spend a lot more time with you. *insert hug* 

It's nice to be back folks... real nice. And I look forward to sharing more deets of what I've been up to, the summer adventures I have planned coming up...  yay for more posts m'friends! Up next this week - includes my glamorous outfit to a ball, the moorea seal store opening and a new healthy, clean eating lunch spot I just discovered in Capitol Hill. 

Hope you all have a great start to your week!
