Girls shopping weekend in Seattle

Mom and Justina and I took Friday off headed to Seattle for our annual girls weekend away.

After stopping at the duty free and Trader Joes we made it down town with time to spare before check in so we headed to the Public market

It was such a beautiful day so we wandered around admiring all of fresh fruit and veggies, beautiful flowers and tables filled with handmade trinkets and gifts.

After checking into the hotel we headed to dinner at Purple Café and wine bar. I had heard good things and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. We had so much fun sampling the ‘flights’ of wine and chatting it up with our waiter and new friend Chris (who Mom instantly called Muffin). The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect for our girls night out!

Saturday morning we got up bright and early, and headed out to begin the shopping extravaganza!

Our first stop was Michael Kors, although we have one at home this one had a special feel to it. Maybe because they served us champagne or many because we were in the mood to treat ourselves, and boy did we ever. Justina purchased a watch, a pair of heels and pair of boots. Mom walked away with boots, flats and a matching purse (and she literally walked out of the store in the new flats and bag-she looked fantastic).

I found the perfect sweater for my upcoming Honeymoon to Italy (oh did I forget to mention, ha Chris and I are all booked for July!!). I also treated myself to a gold belt bracelet and stacking rings. I gave one of the four rings to Justina, she’s my Gayle (Oprah and Gayle have BFF rings!!)

After walking out feeling pretty good we hit Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom's and Anthropologie. Here are a few of the items I add to my closet from Anthropologie:

Sundown Crochet Maxi Dress

Mixed Media Heels - Purple



Washed Denim button down Shirt

 I love all of the pieces alone but can’t wait to put them all together as well ha.

After all the hard work we stopped for at our favourite lunch spot Lola's. The food is great and and so are the Mimosa's. Also you must ask for the homemade doughnuts (they aren't on the menu)

Once back at the hotel we had a relaxing hot tub then freshened up and headed to dinner at Aqua. My goodness, the food was amazing and of course the Martini's and wine were delicious!!

The restaurant might have a been a bit of a splurge but wasn’t that the point of the weekend??

Sunday morning we packed up our new treasures and said goodbye to the Fairmont and Seattle.

On the way home we had to hit another Nordstom's for Justina's Alexander McQueen scarf (stunning!). We then stopped at Wal-Mart which was a huge success, we found the Jiff Peanut Butter for Dad (he said not to bother coming if we didn’t find it now that they don’t sell it in Canada)

I love our girls weekends away, but with the amount of money we spent it’s probably smart we only do it once a year!
