  • 3 Things To Do in Seattle this (sunny) Weekend

    sunny in seattle 1

    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

    seattle art museum SAM remix june 2013

    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.

  • Feeling Pretty

    Bright pants, oxblood shoes, stripes, studs and chambray…and I realize I’ve tried almost every recent fashion trend in this one outfit. And somehow it all comes together.

    I don’t want to spend too much time talking about clothes in this post – so here are my outfit details: J.Crew Chambray Shirt, Forever21 Striped Sweater, GAP Coral Skinny Jeans, Zara Oxblood Pumps, Nordstrom BP Studded Skull Clutch, Marrin Costello & U.O. Jewels.

    Instead – I’d like to talk about pretty. And feeling pretty. Because although in this outfit I felt oh so pretty – I don’t always feel that way. And I know that most girls don’t feel pretty 100% of the time, which is a unfortunate side-effect of the media-driven society we love and loathe.

    Recently I was having a conversation with a good friend, who for whatever reason, felt like she didn’t look pretty this particular night. The funny thing is, just the night before, she felt incredibly attractive and confident. And while her clothes and hair may have been different on this night, she essentially looked the same. So the only thing that had really changed was the perception of herself. This shift in the way we perceive ourselves is common amongst my friends (and myself) – when the reality is that you look just as beautiful as you felt the other night. The clothes you wear may help instill confidence, especially if you are constantly receiving compliments on the way you dress. Your hair and make-up being all done-up can also add a pep to your step. But to the outside world – strangers at bars, fellow coffee-shop inhabitants, the dance floor at a club – you look like YOU. And you can’t change that. What you CAN change and what you do have control over is your confidence and attitude – this is what really draws people in, beyond a flip of hair and more than the bat of your eyelashes.

    So my advice to anyone who is about to head out of the door but feels un-pretty: Think back to the last time you felt gorgeous, hot, beautiful or pretty – and remember that you look that like ALL THE TIME. Even right now. You are smoking hot!

  • Leather & Leopard

    What’s leather, leopard and striped all over? Me – this past weekend!

    And that’s all the witty banter I have for you (for now).

    The jacket is literally an old man’s vintage bomber jacket I got a thrift shop (cause shit it was 99 cents!). The striped blouse is from Forever21 (plus size here), pants are my favorite skinnies from GAP. My booties are c/o Aldo and have become a fall/winter staple for me. The faux-ostrich bag is a wonderful item that Rehka of Outrage Fashion sent over to me – and I’m completely in love with it! The scarf is an old favorite I picked up in London years ago, and the hair is all mine. That’s right ladies – real Natasha hair.

  • Posh Party Seattle Recap

    poshmark posh party seattle1

    As many of you are aware (because you attended!), last Thursday was the Poshmark Posh Party here in Seattle! A rather large group of well-dressed women, cocktails in hand, flocked to Seattle’s Hotel 1000 to party with myself and my co-hosts, as well as the wonderful ladies who run the magic behind the Poshmark app.

    Going for the subtle mixed-print look, I decided to wear a sheer floral-print blouse from ASOS, tucked into some cute patterned pants I picked up from Target (similar here). Curly hair swept to the side, I painted on a coral-red sheer lip and sported my favorite Aldo leopard print booties.

    To everyone who came out, thank you so much!
