Sushi-love CJ and I love sushi. Really, really love it. In Seattle, we frequent everything from kaiten to Kashiba Sushi (the other Shiro’s). So on our whirlwind eating tour of San Francisco, our friends, Pam (foodiecow) and Brian, introduced us to one of their favorite local sushi joints: Wako. We had been eagerly anticipating this […]
Atelier Crenn, Amazing and Memorable
Delicious Getaway It seems like I rarely leave Seattle these days. While I really love spending everyday in my favorite city, there’s definitely a thrill to getting out of town for a couple days. Our fun trip to San Francisco to see friends included a mind-blowing dining experience at Atelier Crenn. Would you like a […]
Kate Spade Cameron Street Teegan, a Review
This is the bag I’ve used daily for the last four months. It’s the Cameron Street Teegan bag – my very first Kate Spade. If you’d like a little more context as to why I’m reviewing this bag, check out The Handbag Experiment. Alright, let’s get to the review. What is awesome about the Cameron […]
The Handbag Experiment
The Struggle is Real Like any red-blooded American woman who has to carry stuff, I’ve been on the search for the mythical unicorn of a perfect handbag for as long as I can remember. It’s a near-impossible endeavor as no bag can ever be expected to meet all the criteria… …or can it? Here are […]
Anne Gavzer’s Endless Knot is a Belltown Staple
Endless Knot, AKA My Other Closet I moved from Los Angeles to Seattle in the fall of 2010, and as a thin-skinned Southern Californian, I was pretty sure I was freezing to death. One chilly evening, while shivering around Belltown, I walked past a boutique window spilling warm light out onto the sidewalk. On a […]
One Full Week of Effie’s Heart
Please note: This is not a sponsored post. I just really felt like nerding out on Effie’s Heart for a week. What is Effie’s Heart? Effie’s Heart is one of the best dress brands I’ve come across. I discovered this brand a little over a year ago and have since been obsessed. Let’s count the […]
U2: The Joshua Tree 2017, Nostalgia, Communitas and Tech
The Significance of “Being There” Months ago, CJ announced that his friend scored us tickets to the U2’s The Joshua Tree 2017 concert. And I was so excited…but not for the reasons you might expect. I was never a huge U2 fan. Don’t misunderstand; I always liked the songs from The Joshua Tree. However, during […]
Sassafras: Amy Tipton Takes Local to a New Level
A Seattle Treasure In the heart of Belltown, nestled between a hair salon and a Brazilian barbecue joint, sits Sassafras – a little boutique with a big mission. The first thing you’ll notice about Sassafras is its charm and very unique styles – but there’s so much more than meets the eye at first glance. […]
Hallie Kuperman’s Century Ballroom Creates Community
The Magical Century Ballroom I’ll never forget the moment I walked into Century Ballroom for the first time. It was a Wednesday evening almost seven years ago, just a few minutes before my class. I was lost and it was raining. Eventually I found the door with the correct address and OddFellows Building in bold letters…yet I […]
Nebia Review, A Shower Worth the Wait
Waiting for Nebia On August 14th, 2015, this happened: Roughly one year and eight months (…or 87 weeks…or 609 days…or 14,616 hours) later, it finally arrived! The waiting didn’t actually kill us, but we were truly over the moon when it finally arrived! In case you’re not familiar with Nebia, you should get familiar with it. […]
