SEATTLE, WA: Fully Awake in Seattle!

by adminupdated on July 17, 2018March 7, 2016

Isn’t it crazy how some people live in one spot their whole life, and never know what their country is really like? That’s how I felt the past couple of years growing up in a suburban town in Texas. Although my hometown life was nice, it was my curiosity that really sparked this journey into …

In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 

I had to share this special moment✨This city has a way of making you feel like you belong, and watching the Knicks win felt like one of those full-circle New York moments. I came here a Texas girl who didn’t know a single thing about basketball, and somehow this team converted me into a fan for life 🏀 @nyknicks

Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this season is flying 🌸 My girls and I kicked off the season with a whimsical-themed picnic: macarons, a dreamy pink cake, fruit salad, all the snacks, and my favorite people by my side. Honestly, the universe really said this is how summer begins and I am not complaining one bit 🧺🌷 

There may or may not be a life update coming soon but for now just know that this day was everything and more ✨ Here’s to long sunny days, good food, and even better company ☀️ 

Shoutout to @lydi.lsn @nunuhomestudio @progress07 @carissacristobal @kpamulya @thealiceli @anniehua for making this pretty picnic party come to light ☀️

I’ve been wearing @fankaofficial compression set on my runs lately as I prep for my next race event, and honestly…it’s a game changer. The body sculpting and compression tech actually makes you feel supported and held in all the right places while you’re moving. 

Running to Roosevelt Island in this all-pink set felt like a whole vibe. If you’re looking for activewear that works as hard as you do, Fanka is it!

NYC has a French bookstore with a hand-painted con NYC has a French bookstore with a hand-painted constellation ceiling…and it’s free to visit. 🌙✨ @albertinebooks 

Albertine in the Upper East Side is housed inside a historic mansion right on Fifth Avenue, and the second floor alone will stop you in your tracks. Deep navy blue ceiling, gold zodiac signs, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves… it genuinely feels like a private Parisian library. Even if you don’t speak French fluently, you come here for the experience of it all ✨

972 Fifth Ave
Upper East Side (across from Central Park + the Met!)

🕰 Open Thu-Tue, 10am-6pm (closed Wednesdays)

Honestly could not have asked for a better spring Honestly could not have asked for a better spring afternoon ☁️ @ladureeus 🌸 Ladurée in full bloom, matcha in hand, desserts that were almost too pretty to eat (almost 🍓) - this is the kind of day that reminds you to slow down and just enjoy everything around you. Scroll through for some cherry blossom magic and save this post for later 🌸➡️

The cherry blossoms, the ivy walls, the ispahan ice cream dessert that had no right being that good…I was fully in my moment and I don’t apologize for it 🎀 If you haven’t been here in the spring, put it on your list right now. Trust me. 🌸

📍Ladurée SoHo
398 W Broadway
New York, NY 10012

💰: Price ranges $35-70+ per person for a full dining experience 

💻: Highly recommend booking the outdoor terrace during cherry blossom season at least 2 weeks in advance 👍🏼
