  Sasquatch 2013 & Festival Fashion

  

  The Experience

  Sasquatch 2013 was amazing. How could it not have been? When you put good friends, lots-o-beer, incredible musical talent, festival fashion, sun & the Gorge together in a pot and you get AWESOME SOUP.

  Mumford & Sons. Arctic Monkeys. Lumineers. Deep Sea Divers. Macklemore. Cake. Vampire Weekend. Edward Sharpe. Imagine Dragons. Empire of the Sun.  ZZ Ward. Sigur Ros. The line-up was nothing short of epic. And my memories…while most of them absolutely ridiculous…will live on. Perhaps I’ll tell some crazy Sasquatch stories to my future great nieces and nephews – I’ll be that cool great aunt – Auntie Nata$ha.

  Sasquatch 2014

  And now  I hear that for Sasquatch 2014 – they are making it 2 weekends with 2 unique line-ups!  I might as well just devote my life to Sasquatching and give up all my other hopes and dreams. By 2020 maybe Sasquatch will be like Summer camp – 3 months long – and then you die at the end because nothing else in your life could be as awesome as what you experienced there. Ok…maybe I’m being dramatic. But seriously. Sasquatch is the best.

  Festival Fashion

  And don’t fret my little fashionistas – below you’ll find some of the outfits I ran around in during my 4 day hiatus at the Gorge. Festival fashion is just way too much fun, and next year, I plan on turning up the hippie dial even higher (plus not showering for 4 days just puts you in that natural-dread-forming mood).

  But in all seriousness – there were so many adorable, fun outfits! Crop tops paired with cut-off denim and floral headbands were very popular. Even the guys stepped it up for the music festival – sporting graphic tanks, “jorts,” 80s eye-wear and retro sneakers.

  Check out my outfits during the 4-day party near Seattle and if you went – tell me what your wore in the comment section. Also, my recommendation for next year: Go to Sasquatch.

  3 Things To Do in Seattle this (sunny) Weekend

  

  All Seattleites know the deal: when the sun comes out you go outside and you get optimistic. The over-abundance of rain and gloom that usually fills the skies here in the Pacific Northwest means that the minute we see bright blue & white fluff above us, we sort of forget anything else is going on. No longer are we bitter, sarcastic Seattelites; we are now sunny, happy, spunky Seattleites ready to melt the “Seattle-freeze” and meet new people.

  So…if you want to meet new people in Seattle this weekend, check out a couple events around the area that promise to be a good time! Who knows, you may even run into *this* Seattle fashion blogger, running around town, in a sundress with margarita (on the rocks) in hand!

  SAM Remix – Friday at 8pm

  

  The SAM Remix is a rare type of event to find in Seattle – it doesn’t involve hiking, or flannel, or breweries. In fact, at the last SAM Remix event I attended, it felt more like I was transported to NYC’s Brooklyn for the posh opening of a new art gallery. It’s a must-attend event, and includes dancing, DJs, art, music, craft cocktails, girls in pretty dresses, guys in slick slacks and the whos-who of the Seattle social scene. I’ll be there (wearing something I don’t have picked out yet…yikes) – so buy your tickets here (quickly, they sold out last time around). You can use the discount code blogremix0613 and get $5 off general admission. See you there!

  Frolik Rooftop Kitchen & Cocktails – All Weekend

  

  Confession: I haven’t yet been to this place. However I’ve been hearing such amazing things about it that I had to share. On a sunny weekend like this one – a rooftop bar  with delicious cocktails, fun bites, shuffleboard and ping-pong may be the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Happy Hour is from 4pm-10pm, and you can tweet them or like their Facebook page for a bigger scoop on this hot new Seattle gem.

  The Georgetown Carnival – Saturday at Noon

  

  Quick warning: Georgetown is a funky Seattle neighborhood. So if you are a straight-laced fellow who doesn’t enjoy biker jackets, clowns, beer (a lot) and craziness – this may not be the event for you. However if you are looking for a good time plus amazing people watching (bonus!), you might want to check out this hip annual festival. You’ll find live music, “power tool racing”, beer gardens, “Dead Baby Bike race” and other random, ridiculous and creepy activities. Check out the carnival website and good luck.

  Of course the last thing you could do is try and find me. I’ll be doing things all around Seattle thing weekend, and sometimes I tweet about them. So why not play the best game ever, “Find Natasha this weekend and party with her”? Just a suggestion.

  AiS Love of Fashion Show

  

  Fashion designers in Seattle? Why of course! The Art Institute of Seattle is producing talented and unique fashion designers here in the emerald city every few months, and the best part is, they put on a fashion show to display the raw & fresh talent! Even more impressive? This is their 15th year putting on the AiS Fashion Show!

  This Tuesday, March 12th, the designers at the Art Institute of Seattle will send their hard work & gorgeous pieces down the runway at Benaroya Hall. The event is sure to be a hit and would make a lovely ladies night out. I’ll be there, live-tweeting and eyes gleaming at the sight of fresh fashion! Put on something fabulous and join me for the “Love of Fashion” event! You can buy tickets here.

  Seattle Show Fit

  

  Most people who live in Seattle are frequent attendees of live shows – rock bands, underground rap, indie groups, even open mic nights with unknowns. This short post is the typical outfit I usually wear to shows, the particular event was in Capitol Hill.

  The Outfit: J.Crew jean jacket (Summer 2012, similar here), J. Crew necklace (similar here), gifted cross-body purse, Forever21 top, H&M booties (but I like these and these).
