Gotta Catch 'Em All w/ TeeTurtle Pocket Minis! Tee

Ever since I was a itty bitty kiddy, I loooved Pokémon, and was maybe borderline obsessed at one point. I collected the cards, played the GameBoy game, and basically collected anything I could related to the game. Plus I loved watching the cartoon on Saturday mornings or even after school too! Now that I am much older, I still have a love for Pokémon and can express that love through clothing! My favorite way is through cute shirts and such especially this ADORABLE Pocket Minis Tee from the brand Tee Turtle. I stumbled upon their stuff while I was at Emerald City Comic Con this year and quick fell in love with all of their stuff!

Natsu Matsuri 2015 Food Recap

Last weekend was Uwajimaya's Natsu Matsuri, summer festival if you will, and I got to try a lot of the yummy Japanese foods the vendors provided there! It is a great way to sample a lot of items for a fairly cheap price! They want to promote their items and get it out there so the lower pricing helped with that incentive. This will be a quick/food heavy post - be warmed!

LAZY DAY: GLOOMY WEATHER INSPIRED OUTFIT

We had a nice break in the extra hot, sunny weather in Seattle and had a nice break with the looming clouds and rain come back in typical Seattle fashion. However, with that also comes a more lazy attitude and with that my lazy day attire which is just easy and comfortable and comfort.

BOHO VIBES & LUNCH AT PIZZERIA PULCINELLA

I've never been into maxi skirts but within the last year or so, I've actually been diggin' how easy they are to wear and throw on. I've also been into the whole 'ethereal' thing so this dream catching ying-yang tee and moon and wild symbols on the skirt have been definitely filling in that void.

BLUEBERRY BANANA COCONUT 'NICECREAM' RECIPE

I feel like i'm on a whole 'raw vegan/healthy food' kick and coming up with recipes for the summer has actually been fun. I have more than enough blueberries in the summertime in my backyard so I figured why not use them to make another frozen treat? Especially before all the birds come and eat them up.

SWATCH & REVIEW: LIME CRIME CENTRIFUCHSIA LIPSTICK

There's something about bright pink lipsticks that I can't get enough of. This one by Lime Crime, is bright but not in an obnoxious neon way. This is Centrifuchsia, one of their Unicorn Lipsticks that, of course, has the cute as a button purple casing with the holographic unicorn. This color is a fun deeper pink with cooler undertones and a fun one to have in your collection for warm summer nights out or really anytime you'd like!

CASUAL DAY WITH A HALF BUN

Why haven't I worn a half bun sooner?! Probably because I'm that lazy.. Hah. I've always loved the look of a half bun and now that my hair isn't ridiculously long, it's super easy to do.

I was feeling super casual, but 'cheeky' if you will so this shirt from Choies definitely helped me channel that mood. I'm pretty sure the sleeves aren't supposed to hang like that but because my shoulder are so broad and buff from pole, they do that weird stick out thing. Oh well!

MAC-THE MATTE LIP COLLECTION: MEN LOVE MYSTERY SWATCH & REVIEW

Another lippie post because I couldn't help but notice this beautiful purple matte lipstick that came out with the new The Matte Lip Collection by MAC Cosmetics. I didn't plan on getting anything until I saw a friend pick up and swatch this color on her Instagram and I knew I had to get it right away! I was good and only got one, but of course it had to be the purple one! 

EATING WITH A VIEW: STONE HOUSE CAFE ON RAINIER AVENUE

Lunch: Chicken Fried Steak, French Dip, Corn Beef Hash

A new spot, The Stone House Café recently opened up on Rainier Avenue in the south side of Seattle, right along Lake Washington. I've driven by this area many times and had no idea they turned the stone buildings into a restaurant and bakery! I wasn't sure what to expect when I pulled in but I was definitely pleasantly surprised.

CURRENT SHOWER FAVORITES W/ ALMOND SCENTS

I love me some good smelling bath products that are also non-drying so I wanted to share with you guys my two current favorite bath products that just also happened to be almond scented!

ACAI BOWL RECIPE W/ 3 TOPPING COMBOS

I've always been a fan of the whole acai/smoothie bowls and love mainly how pretty they look, but the best part is that they're also delicious and so good for you. It seems that these 'bowls' are popping up everywhere, especially in little shops and such but of course the ones that you buy at these stops are a bit pricey. After coming up with my own base mix (which I think is the most important part), you really can't go wrong with any of the toppings you choose. Have fun with it! Play with different fruits, grains, seeds, etc. No topping is wrong. You can make it as healthy as you want or even add a bit of some not so healthy bits to it for an extra yummy treat =)

MANI MONDAY: CHINA GLAZE MASAI RED

I think I may have found my new favorite neutral red nail color; not too warm and not too cool. I wanted a nice red color for an event I was going to so when I found this at the nail salon, I knew this would be a winner! The color is from China Glaze: Masai Red.

NAVY & WHITE FILIGREE W/ LACE UP HEELS - Best of Bride 2015 Event

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Seattle Bride Magazine Best of Bridal 2015 event at The Rainier Club in Downtown Seattle. It was a little fancier so a cocktail dress was appropriate. Most of the dresses I own are definitely casual and summery so I was in search for a perfect dress. To my luck, I found this beautiful white with navy blue filigree design dress at Francesca's.
