Weekend Round-Up: 8/31-9/3

Weekend Round-Up: 8/31-9/3...

Bad news: this is “officially” the last weekend of summer. Yeah, I know. Good news: it’s Labor Day weekend, which means (most of us) get a sweet three day weekend. We’ll tell you all the awesome things going on. It’s your job to actually go do them. It’s Seattle, it’s Labor Day, so naturally it’s Bumbershoot. There are plenty of last minute tickets available, so if...

Note: I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling the end-of-summer anxiety pretty hard lately. But then I drove past Pecado Bueno the other day and stopped in for a $3 margarita on their sweet patio and remembered that the best cure for fall-phobia is a good cheap drink on a sunny day. So we’re rerunning this post to remind you to get out there and say “cheers”! In my past life as a Californian,...

My trip to the coast: Things you should know

My trip to the coast: Things you should know...

Well, as I write this it’s looking like summer is officially taking it’s slow dive into Fall. While it’s sad that we won’t have those 2 days of 90 degrees again, I really do love it when the leaves start to change and the air turns a little brisk and really the rain doesn’t seem to kick in until after Halloween–so we have a few more precious moments before we can all complain again. And...

GIVEAWAY: Seattle Sweets & Co. Caramels

GIVEAWAY: Seattle Sweets & Co. Caramels...

I always set out to my local farmers market with the best of intentions- lots of green things, some local pastured proteins and some fruit thrown in just for fun. But it’s hard to resist sampling some of Seattle’s locally made treats- we’re pretty lucky to live in a place that produces so much good dessert fare. One of my recent obsessions are the caramels from Seattle Sweets & Co. Not only am I going to...

FREE Burgers at Lil Woody’s Today!...

This intro is going to be short and sweet, because honestly, it doesn’t require much explanation. Just look at the blog post title- FREE burgers at Lil Woody’s today! (follow @lilwoodys on instagram more more cool pictures like this!) It’s hard to believe Lil Woody’s has only been around for a year, but in the past twelve months, their late-night burgers (they’re open until 3:00am, a rarity in a...

The Kippy Ding Ding: Vintage Shopping Goes Mobile

The Kippy Ding Ding: Vintage Shopping Goes Mobile...

Food trucks are delicious, but they make it hard to fit into cute clothes. The Kippy Ding Ding, the ridiculously adorable vintage clothing truck roaming Seattle’s streets, does just the opposite- they make it easy to look good by selling some of the cutest clothes and accessories in all of the city, and everything they sell is calorie-free. The Kippy Ding Ding is the whimsically-named truck that houses some of...

Weekend Round-Up: 8/24-8/26...

Yeah yeah yeah, I know the heatwave is a distant memory (and besides, you were probably complaining about it anyway), but that doesn’t mean that I’m calling it quits on summer. Just one look at this weekend’s calendar will reassure you that even if it’s a little cooler than normal, we’re being good Seattlites and acting like it’s summer  even if we do have to wear a jacket. So read on to...

Badwill Market: Shopping Local Just Got Even Cooler

Badwill Market: Shopping Local Just Got Even Coole...

Sure, some people say shopping is frivolous.  But when you shop local- like real deal, made and sold right here in Seattle- your money actually goes to support real live people who need your money. So really, that’s practically doing a public service. This weekend you can help out your neighbors and score some adorable clothes and accessories at the BadWill Market, a hyper-local, super-cool pop-up market at the Fred...

When I asked Aubrey what the deal was with this new Veggie Grill coming to South Lake Union, she said and I quote, “HOLY @)#*!@)#* THAT PLACE IS AWESOME!” And since I’ve made it a rule that whenever someone uses all caps to describe a restaurant in Seattle, I should probably check it out.
