Hello!
I hope all of you had such a wonderful 4th of July weekend. This past weekend had me incredibly spoiled with happy hours, dinners, friends, and family! Can we have 4-day weekends all of the time? Kevin and I have been craving ice cream sandwiches like when we were kids so today we contemplated at the grocery store whether or not we should buy a box of 12 or a box of 16. In the end, it didn’t really matter because we got what we wanted all along.
Rumor has it that next week Seattle temperatures are supposed to reach the 90s! A rare treat for us locals. To celebrate, I would expect everyone to want to be out and about enjoying happy hour and drinks at some of the best patios this city has to offer. Thrillist compiled a list of places that I have yet to visit, but definitely plan on during this season. Another one of my favorites that didn’t make the cut is Joeys on Lake Union. But let’s be real, I’m going there for the bellinis more than the patio itself.

Are you tired of ringing in the New Year with just flutes of champagne? WE ARE. Why not celebrate 2012 with a lineup of drinks that will remind you how great this year was. Election Day Mojito pictured above? Definitely on my list of drinks to try.
See the rest here.
Can’t afford real Rodarte? Missed the Rodarte for Target collaboration a few years back? Well, here’s one more chance (and hopefully not the last) to snag Rodarte at a price that you may never see again. The Rodarte for Starbucks collection has arrived in stores and is ready to be adored by the masses. The collection is modern, crisp, and minimal. Would you expect anything less than stellar from the Mulleavy sisters?

I once had a Black Forest Chocolate – Tini and to be honest? I didn’t love it. Maybe it was too much chocolate. Maybe I couldn’t adapt to the fact that I was having a sweet drink with alcohol in it. Whatever the case, I didn’t finish it and I’ve never looked back. However, hearing about an alcoholic milkshake is something that I think I could maybe get behind. There are several restaurants in the Seattle area serving them up and I wanna know… does it sound appealing to you?
Does alcohol belong in our classic favorites? Seattle Met Blogs have provided a few places where you can get your fix and I think I just might!
At my old job, my routine involved grabbing myself one of these before I started the day. Now, I am somehow getting by without it! At least I know that I always have the option of making it myself if I wanted to.

Joe and I pulled a tourist day today and picked up some fresh berries from the market and ate them outside of a Starbucks.

And right before my eyes…this birthday card was turned into a shot glass.
How do they do it!
