//via Flickr A couple weeks ago, I was out with some of my guy friends, drinking brewskies at The Polish House on Capitol Hill. (If you’re from Seattle and haven’t been, it’s a community center that opens on Fridays only as an Polish beer hall and restaurant. Totally awesome, I know). I can’t remember what exactly the topic at hand was, but one of them asked me something along the...

Saturday I attended Seattle Fashion Week for the first time with part of the Girl Power Hour Power Team… we got all gussied up and hit the town in bright, springtime dresses. I felt like a princess, not only were we given front row VIP tickets, but Vera Wang was showing her Spring and Fall 2010 line at the show (her first time ever in Seattle!) I’ve never been to a legit fashion show before,...

This weekend I finally got around to watching “Up In the Air.” Super great movie. I like the kind of movies that make you think…about life and love. The pursuit of happiness or lack there of. One scene in the movie was absolutely brilliant, a dialogue touching on the “American Girl’s Dream” – a husband, house, two point five kids and a car – a dream that I...

“I wish I had style” That’s what my best friend said when I showed her my totally awesome new wall decal for the living room (I previously had a terrible, cheap IKEA frame with generic IKEA flower postcard images in it that I was just dying to upgrade). What I say to that – Woman! This doesn’t take style. This just take entering your card number in on the worldwide Interwebs....

[Don't forget to enter my mini giveaway in the post below before Friday!] A couple months ago I started reading a blog called Hello Vodka, It’s Me… Kassy. The title immediately grabbed me – vodka is by far my only liquor of choice for a night out. Tequila = puke my brains out. Too many memories from trips to Mexico. Rum = yuck, yuck, double yuck. And, I’m not even going to mention...

As most of you know, I’m in a LTR. If you’re like me, and you had no idea what that little acronym meant until about a year ago, I’ll let you in on the little secret – it’s Long Term Relationship. (Woowee. How exciting!) I’ve been in my LTR for nearly two years now. EEEKK. Really, that just scares the bejesus out of me. Am I the only one who feels like their life is...

Friday night, I had the pleasure of finding myself on the “VIP” list of a new lounge opening in Belltown, which, for those who are Seattle outsiders, is the swanky bar scene part of Seattle. It’s the singles place to see and be seen, peruse the merchandise, hit on and perhaps take someone home. I am, of course, not single – but it’s always fun to get dressed up and go out on...

So, the weekend was totally fab and low-key. I’ll spare a big long, boring update with name dropping of people you don’t know (don’t you hate it when bloggers do that) and just give you the highlights, in non bullet format. First off, the weather is Seattle is so fantastically f*cking fantastic; it’s ridiculous. Usually it rains the better part of June, but it’s been in the 70s minimum for 10...

…I buy. Personal mantra. And one I wouldn’t recommend. It’s expensive. Anywhoo, enough about that. Let’s move right along and continue to talk about SPENDING MONEY. Today I bought myself two pretty cute items that I thought I’d share. This beautiful little jewelry box I purchased on Etsy from a seller called Sister Butterfly. My first Etsy purchase! I tried super hard to...

Today I’m meeting my new roommate for the first time. Sound weird? Not as weird as it was to live with someone I found on Craigslist after the friend from college I was living with bought a condo with her boyfriend and had to move out. I could go on for days and months about how annoying this chick from Craigslist was. But I’ll save you the details. I recently asked Craigslist Chick to move out, and...
