Where to Stay:

Since I do live here, I haven’t stayed in many of the hotels in the area – but I’ve heard great things about the ones below, and have visited many for lunch/dinner!

• The Four Seasons
• The Fairmont
• The W Hotel
• The Edgewater Hotel
• The Thompson Hotel

Where to Eat:

Breakfast/Brunch –

• Portage Bay Cafe – such a popular Seattle brunch spot! they have tons of locations all over the city. I love the breakfast bar!
• The Rusty Pelican – located a bit outside of Seattle, but has the best belgian waffle ever! I love visiting the Edmonds location.
• Collections Cafe – stop and grab a bite to eat on your way in to Chihuly Garden and Glass!
• Witness – this one has been on my list for a while now – it’s chicken and waffles are supposed to be amazing!
• The London Plane – the cutest cafe/bakery! If you’re looking for a gram-worthy spot, head here.

Lunch/Dinner –

• Serious Pie – the pizza is amazing!
• Purple Cafe and Wine Bar – a popular Seattle spot, & they have a few different locations!
• Cactus – my favorite Mexican restaurant!
• The Pink Door – italian food right by Pike Place market – the coolest atmosphere!

Dessert –

• Hot Cakes -my go-to dessert spot! the warm chocolate chip cookie is outstanding.
• Molly Moons – one of seattle’s most well-known ice cream spots! they’re known for having lots of unique (but great) flavors.
• Hello Robin – hello robin creates ice cream sandwiches made from the cookies of your choice and molly moons ice cream!
• Pie Bar – a spot I’ve been anxiously waiting to try (it’s 21+). the pie is supposed to be amazing!

What to Do:

• Pike Place Market – if you’re visiting Seattle for the first time, Pike Place is a must. i always love stopping by and grabbing some fresh flowers!
• Chihuly Garden and Glass – I was recently invited to visit Chihuly for the first time to view their spring blooms – and was amazed at how beautiful everything was.
• The Space Needle – recently remodeled & a must-see for first timers.
• The Great Wheel – very photo-worthy and fun to take a ride on!
• Wings over Washington – if you’ve ridden Soarin’ over California at Disneyland, you need to try this out! it’s basically Seattle’s version of Soarin’.
• Visit the Starbucks Roastery – you can’t come to Seattle and not visit the Roastery!
• Rent a Hot Tub Boat – on my list of things to do!
• Visit Gasworks Park – featured in 10 things I hate about you, and also just a Seattle staple!

Last weekend while I was in Texas, I stopped into The Impeccable Pig. The moment I walked in I knew I was in trouble! I found so many pieces that I couldn’t live without. After trying on many dresses, I narrowed it down to a few of my faves: one of which being the coral dress in today’s post! Unfortunately this dress isn’t on the website in coral, but I did find it in this beautiful blue!

To say I was excited when I found out that The Impeccable Pig had an online store is an understatement. I went onto their website a few hours after visiting the store and found so many cute pieces that I’m adding to my wishlist! A few of my favorites are: this pink romper, this yellow dress, this striped romper, and this pink striped romper!

After putting on the coral dress, I set out to explore Dallas! I discovered the cutest sunset wall and had to do a photoshoot in front of it, to show off this beautiful dress.

Thank you so much for reading & have a great day!
Much love,

Anabelle.
