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!

I can hardly believe it’s 2015, it feels like any other day. I am on vacation in eastern Washington visiting my in-laws. I go back to work on Monday. I’ve enjoyed spending time with friends and family while overindulging in lots of home made meals. I have ate more food then I care to admit and I’m looking forward to getting back on track.

These photos were taken last weekend on a very cold and windy day, so excuse the wild hair. I’m wearing one of my favorite sweaters with an adorable cat critter. This is one of many J.Crew novelty sweaters in my closet. I styled this sweater with a bow blouse.

The bag is by Foley + Corinna and can be worn two ways. I was excited about this purse when I purchased it on sale last summer, but this is the first time I’ve used it. I am terrible about rotating my bags – something I need to get better about.

Have a good weekend and see ya Monday! 😀
