It’s been hot in Seattle this week. Anything over 80 feels sweltering with our humidity. We are very happy to have AC at the current place! #blessed

I finally found the perfect fire engine red pants. It’s such a classic staple that looks great with just about anything. I can see these pants with a stripe tee, button up blouse, or even a fun printed top.

I now have these pants in five colors: red, bright pink, burgundy, navy, and black. In this post I wore the navy and mentioned that the red and pink were on my wish list. As you can see, I decided to take the plunge and it was totally worth it. The fabric is so stretchy and forgiving, and it works great for the office. I wear mine at least once a week.

How else would you style these pants? You guys had such great suggestion for this navy and white stripe dress.

Thank so much for reading. Have a lovely weekend!

This dress is my go-to for summer weddings and now, surprisingly, everyday wear. It is so comfortable and easily transitions from dressy to weekend casual. I love the muted colors, and depending on how you style it, you can highlight whatever color you want.

Today I went with my favorite denim jacket to dress down the the silk material. It was the perfect time to try out my new rose gold flats (need these in every color) to compliment the coral in the dress. To keep this look causal, I added multiple bracelets, a delicate necklace and a vintage brooch.

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday weekend. We had a impromptu BBQ with my mom and her boyfriend and ended the night at a local park watching the fireworks. It was so much fun.

Thanks so much for reading. I’ll see you Thursday!

My husband and I moved at the end of May. We are still in Seattle but closer to downtown. The neighborhood is stunning and very walkable. We even have a farmers market outside our door!

In Other News:

I went to Seattle Fashion Week at the Emerald City Trapeze Arts. I never do anything fun in the city so this was a bit outside of my comfort zone. I was surprised to see so many fashion obsessed folks in one space.

Before the show I met up with Kelly from Sweet Kelly Anne. She invited me to the show. It was our first time meeting. We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. We had dinner at Fonda La Catrina and hit it off immediately. I can’t wait for our next meet up.

Last week I had dinner with Camilla from Avenue Camilla. She isn’t blogging anymore, but do check out her amazing Instagram account (updated daily). Camilla is so personable and fun. I felt inspired after meeting with her.

I wore this dress to Seattle Fashion Week. It’s an oldie but goodie. I love the silk fabric and the polka dot print. The cinch waist is much needed and provides a flattering silhouette. The shoes are my go-to for weddings and events and are perfect for a night out on the town.

It’s good to back. See you Thursday!

I am excited for the long Memorial Day weekend. It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! We are moving at the end of the month. I want to have our place packed up and ready by the time we head back to work.

I adore feminine lace details (hence my blog name). The pale pink hue of this blouse makes it extra appealing. It’s definitely a piece that I wear often. I am excited to bust out my white pants for spring. I had forgotten about them and was pleasantly surprised to find them packed away with my warm weather items.

What is everyone else up to this weekend?

Carrie Bradshaw Moment

When I picture a tulle skirt, I cannot help but think theatrical or Carrie Bradshaw. Finding the balance between the two can be hit or miss. So what better way to honor Carrie then to pair this look with a classic chambray shirt. While the skirt takes center stage, the rest of the look remains simple yet fun.

The challenge of owning a tulle skirt is the styling aspect. You now have this great piece and no idea how to wear it. Pinterest has been helpful, allowing me to curate a board of creative ways to don a tutu.

Want a tulle skirt of your own? Then check out Space 46. This site was recommended to me by Nazneen from Nazneen Zainal. She is a girlie girl and wears a tulle skirt like a champ!

Kudos to my mom for taking these pics. Thanks so much!
