A Scottish Highland Dream in Drumnadrochit

I’ve always been drawn to the British Isles, for years and years I wanted to travel to England, and my first trip abroad, across an ocean, was to Ireland. That trip only fueled my attraction to this area of the world. I can’t explain why I’m so drawn to it, my ancestors come from the region and I find the ancient history of the Celts and the Picts fascinating. Maybe it’s just my imagination gone wild with stories from history but I’m so wonderfully ensnared by the region, I feel like I could visit 100 more times and never get bored.…

A Day at the Dog Park

It is finally spring in Seattle. Until we make our yearly inaugural trip to Marymoor Dog Park with the pups, I refuse to acknowledge it is spring. On the sunniest & warmest day we’ve had, we pack the pups into the car & head off to Marymoor. The other important factor is whether or not the coffee stand is open at the park. It was.…

7 Stylish Rain Boots to Keep Your Feet Dry This Spring

Did you know it rains an exuberant amount in Seattle? You’ve probably never, ever, not even once heard that. I’m kidding of course. We all know the Pacific Northwest is wet and soggy a good portion of the year. This winter has been unusually more wet than normal, which is really saying something, but with spring upon us (hopefully…no more snow please), it will be a bit warmer but still just as wet. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time on this side of the Cascades, it’s that a good waterproof boot makes all the difference.…

A Darker Tone: Spring Outfit

I am not one of those people who is into bright colors. There was a hot second when a friend who was a fashion designer commented on my all black and grey wardrobe and told me I needed more color. I tried it. I liked it for a bit. But then I started dying my hair outrageously bright pinks and reds and I slid back into my life of black, gray, and darker colors. I’m 100% okay with that now. So spring is around the corner (more like hiding in the closet and refusing to show itself), and all the pinks and pastels come out.…

Burberry AW17

Burberry is one of those brands where it’s very rare that I don’t like a runway collection. More likely than not, I’m fawning over their boots, the runway trench coats, and dresses. The Burberry AW17 Runway collection is no different.…

Outfit: Snow Day Essentials

The Seattle area shuts down when it snows 2 inches, that’s well known, but when it snows a foot in 24 hours?! Break out the hot chocolate and cozy blankets. This is a real snow day! Growing up in Spokane I am accustomed to driving in inches and inches of snow. I remember driving to my high school, 45 minutes away, when there was about 10 inches of snow on the road. School rarely ever shut down. I don’t think I remember having a snow day at all growing up.…
