On Friday night Craig and I headed up to Capital Hill for a casual date at a pretty french seafood bar.  It was a gorgeous but warm evening, so I opted for a simple pretty lace top and some fun flats, since there’s always a fair bit of walking involved downtown and I just felt like being comfortable.

I love getting super dolled up, but there are times when I just want to be low-key and that’s where I really like to have lots of pretty stand alone tops (this year I’m all about lace tops) that don’t need a lot of embellishment to feel like a complete outfit.  I bought this black top in white first and loved it so much I went back for the other color.  #notashamed

When people ask me where to go/what to do in Seattle, I always tell them that if they want good food in a beautiful setting that Capital hill is the place to go.  There are so many amazing restaurants up there.   We’ve eaten in lots of lovely spots and they’re all gorgeous, unique and have really great menus.  On Friday we tried Bar Melusine, and I’ll have to write a separate post all about that, but I will just say, the floor alone is worth going for.  You can see it on my instagram here.

Happy Monday everyone!  It’s our 13th anniversary today and my husband is taking me sailing all day!
