Fratelli

Greetings from Canada! It's been so long since my last post. Between moving, working, and getting ready for Christmas, I've barely been able to sit for 5 minutes.  

 

I traveled up Vancouver, B.C. with my family, to spend Christmas with my in-laws. It's been a perfect getaway from the hecticness of everyday life. Plus there's the added bonus that my sister-in-law is a fabulous cook!

Today we headed to Commercial St. per my request, for pastries from my favorite Italian bakery in Vancouver, Fratelli. Although Vancouver shares the similar gloom and drizzle of Seattle, my emotions were soaring high with all my treats.

Hollywood

Last Friday I left home at 3:30am, and journeyed 22 hours via car to LA. Although I was running on very little sleep, I was not about to miss a moment of my California adventure! 

My first stop was Hollywood Blvd. to see the sights and do a little shopping. For my look, I went a little sexy, a little casual, and a little rock'n'roll. Not only did I score on some shopping finds, but I also came across one of my favorite celebrity's star! What do you think of my look?

Water Follies

This weekend is Water Follies in Tri-Cities.  Yesterday I got into town in time to see the last few hours of the hydro races. That was my first time experiencing any kind of boat races and it was pretty awesome! 

I kept my look casual cool for this hot day. What do you think?

A Cooler Day

After a week of blazing temps of 106° and higher, it's hard to believe its in the 70's today! It's probably for the best though. Washington has been having some crazy fires that have spread throughout the eastern side of the state! I think some cooler temperatures and even the bit of rain we have had the past couple days are much needed. I'm sure the firefighters are appreciative as well!

Today's look is casual with a bit of edge. It's a perfect day for jeans and a tank top! My boots are keeping my feet dry from the soggy grass, and my vest gives a little extra flare. Like it?

Bonjour

This last weekend I went to Victoria, B.C. with my family to see my inlaws. It's always such an enjoyable and relaxing getaway. One of my husband and my favorite things to indulge in there, is poutine. For those that are unfamiliar with it, poutine is a French Canadian dish consisting of french fries, topped with cheese curds, and warm gravy. When done right, it's to die for! 

The chilly climate and the cuisine was a perfect occasion to wear my Bonjour sweater. I even wore my new prescription glasses that I think made me very geek chic..oui?!

Spreading the Love

Last Friday, my daughter's class took a field trip to a nursing home, to read and sing to the elderly for Valentine's Day. I went along as a chaperone, and in effort to keep things festive, I made sure to wear a pop of red and a pink lip. 

I can't articulate the way my heart felt to see my baby girl show love to people who would have otherwise felt lonely on the day of love <3
