Sunday is the Best Day... Sometimes

Today turned out to be a really nice sunny day here in Seattle. The weatherman had called for rain but thankfully he was wrong.

I started my day off with an hour long facial at Spa Noir, which I LOVED. Then I met up with Melissa at Shoefly which was just supposed to be a random quick stop but then I discovered their 70% off sale section and couldn't resist myself... I tried on a few duds but then found a cute brown heeled sandal that I had to have! The shoes were originally $116 but after the discount and tax they came to $38.33. SCORE!

Then Melissa and I headed over to Polite Society to check out what was left as they are closing (So sad!!). They have a few cute items still available but it was pretty picked over. I guess that is good for them though as that means a lot of merchandise has been sold. There were many pieces of antique furniture - a beautiful French desk caught my eye!

Then we hit Free People to see what they had. I've seen their clothing at Nordstrom but have yet to actually visit their shop. There were some nice items in there but their clothing felt a bit to young for me.

After all that shopping it was time for some bubble tea in the ID. We hopped a bus and headed on down there. As we were walking towards the tea place we noticed this crepe place we've had our eye on was open (it had been closed for renovations). We've talked about it for so long - today was the day!

I had the most delicious banana custard coco whipped crepe. It had bananas, whipped cream, custard and chocolate sauce. OMG it was sinful and sooooo yummy! I just kept telling myself it was low fat... We did still get bubble tea after we both had a crepe. The sugar rush has set in!

We said our goodbyes and headed our seperate ways. The day isn't over yet, but man, it was a good day!

If you're looking to splurg a little then I found 2 items for you... or me...

I got an email today from SpreeMail which is always a fun one to get.

According to SpreeMail they are "strictly editorial & all items are selected by our editors unless otherwise noted. We scour New York City and the Web for products, events, sales & other fun stuff that we think you'll love as much as we do."

Anyways, today's email had 2 really cute clothing items and a hot pair of earrings from a local Seattle designer, Kimberly Baker, who Dawn has blogged about before. She sure is a popular designer - her stuff is amazing and I see it everywhere! Way to go girl!

1st item: Silka Mini Dress. Price $195, Available at Pieces of Brooklyn. This is such a cute dress, I do wish they had it on a person though, that could change my opinion... But they way it's laid out makes it look super cute!!



2nd item: Newsroom Coat. Price $168, Available at Free People. This coat is adorable - it would be so cute dressed up or just with jeans. It looks as if it would add value to any outfit.






3rd item: Kimberly Baker earrings. Price $138, Available at Stars and Infinite Darkness. Her jewelry is so beautiful, I have yet to see a piece I didn't like...






There ya have it, my must-haves for the day! Oh and by no means was I suggesting you wear the coat and the dress together... I don't think that would be cute. The earrings however would be just fine with either. ;) Just my opinion...
