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!
