i've had a love/hate relationship with this blog for a long time. after a long internal debate i've decided to put this blog officially on the back burner. maybe i'll feel less guilt and laziness if its not something lingering in the back of my mind. <i>it is</i> just a blog after all. haha. for the few of you that have regularly stopped by and said hello you can still find me over on <a href="http://thechampagnelife.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">my tumblr</a>. </div>

a while back me, the boyf and the fath went to the vintage car races. i grew up around classic cars and always look forward to a trip to the race track. in typical seattle fashion, it rained that day. half the time we had to seek refuge under the vendor tents because a downpour would come out of nowhere. made for some less than fast racing but an enjoyable time regardless. however i did bring a jacket with a hood so i was in luck. </div>

later we had some pints and pizza at <a href="http://airwaysbrewing.com/" target="_blank">airways brewing</a> then stopped at my favorite <a href="http://lahuertamarket.com/" target="_blank">mexican store </a>for snacks. they started selling fresh coconut water and it was delicious. </div>

and yup, this black sweater is in heavy rotation. boring i know. but! i didn't have to wear it this past weekend because it was 90 degrees two whole days in a row. how spoiled are we. </div>

i'm a creature of habit. i like my routines and i get anxious when things don't go according to plan. fortunately this works out for george since he (and most dogs i assume) like routines. one thing that george and i do every day after work is go for a long walk. rain or shine. doesn't matter we have to do it. since the sun decides to finally come out around the time we go for walks i've been living in <a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=6493_5632_030&catId=cat5270002" target="_blank">these</a> aerie shorts. they're so comfy and the more i wear them the more they stretch to that perfect amount of bagginess. and they have spacious pockets! key for caring all those puppy treats and poop bags. nothing worse than getting caught not picking up your pup's poo. fact's of life people. life can't be glamorous all the time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

lets say my rainy day walking gear isn't as fashionable. i look more like your typical seattleite. :)</div>

the <a href="http://thedeviltopay.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">boyf</a> went to a baseball game the other night which means it's girls night in at hq. <a href="http://jupiter-eyes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">voss</a> came over for some champagne and boxed mac and cheese and we started watching <a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/revenge" target="_blank">revenge</a>. it has <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=bambi+secret+diary+of+a+call+girl&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=AYc&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=3hsYUJa6GcSV6wHO_4DoBw&ved=0CFwQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=862#hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=FEx&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&q=ashley+madekwe&revid=1619257745&sa=X&ei=DhwYUK6uI8bp6wGGhYHgAw&ved=0CEgQgxY&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=f2c9a9fe11baf49a&biw=1280&bih=862" target="_blank">bambi</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Diary_of_a_Call_Girl" target="_blank">secret diary of a call girl</a> so we were already sold. let me tell you, this show is bananas. we got through the first 3 episode and there is more drama than the first season of gossip girl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
voss brought over her studding gear or as she likes to call it "punk rock knitting kit" and she let me toughen up my ballet slippers. needless to say i got flack from my ballet teacher last night. but i think she secretly likes them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you could do this to any pair of flats really or if you want some fancy slipper for around the house you could do it to a pair of real ballet slipper like i did. if you do go this route, they only have a bit of suede on the bottom so don't wear them out of the house. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>item you'll need:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>ballet slippers or flats </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>studs</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>leather/fabric punch</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>prong press</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>*you can get a studding starter kit <a href="http://studsandspikes.com/buy/kit-beginner-studding-kit.html?osCsid=28f4abf4f2feeaf631b3e0bff8b88024" target="_blank">here</a> from studs & spikes.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
directions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
arrange the studs in the order you want them and press them in to make indents with the prongs, you'll have to repeat this step for each stud. punch a hole through the fabric with the hole puncher then pop in the stud. flip shoe over to bend in the prongs. make sure you bend them in deep so they won't scratch the tops of your feet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
one of my favorite summer time drinks is iced coffee. and the creme de la creme of iced coffee is <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=HAR&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=bibicaffe&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1261&bih=849&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=W2ERUIW3NYagiQLztIGwBw" target="_blank">bibicaffe</a>. it's a delightful sweetened carbonated espresso drink imported from italy. heck even in the dead of winter i'd drink one they're so good. sadly the a couple of years ago the only distributed lost the rights to import it. tragic yes, but being a good hoarder i stashed a 40 oz size bottle for a rainy day. lately there have been some copy cats popping up at the specialty grocery store in my hood but none compare to the original. i had some soda water that was going to waste so i decide to start getting crafty. this is where my years of being a barista come into play.</div>
<br />
<i>i used</i>:<br />
<i>6 oz iced coffee concentrate {<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/dining/276drex.html?_r=1" target="_blank">this one</a> from the ny times is my fav}</i><br />
<i>4 oz soda water</i><br />

<i>half & half</i><br />
<i>lots of ice</i><br />
<br />
<i>directions</i>:<br />
here's where it gets real complicated. fill your glass with ice, if you planned ahead you should fill your ice cube tray with leftover coffee to make coffee ice cubes, pour in coffee concentrate then soda water. if i'm making regular iced coffee i usually do equal parts coffee and water but for some reason wit the soda water i feel like you need a bit more. top with honey syrup and half & half. pull out your favorite book or turn on your favorite program and you're good to go.<br />
<br />

hope you're hooked, i know i am!</div>

i feel like every few years my tastes in fashion want to do a 180. i'm currently at that crossroads. its not that i want to dress super trendy, thats not the type of gal i am. i like to stick to my tomboyish roots. heck i preferred nina turtles to barbie any day. and if i did play barbie's it was usually to dress ken in drag. i wonder what a psychologist would have to say about that. anyway barbie has nothing to do with my current conundrum. if i were rich i'd just hop a plane to new york and have a ball. but since i live in a place called reality, i've been purging some oldies at buffalo and slowly trying to get some new pieces in rotation. lately <a href="http://www.weareyouneak.com/" target="_blank">this</a> lady in particular and all of <a href="http://pinterest.com/georgekillskids/costumes/" target="_blank">these</a> ladies have been my inspiration. another obstacle has been shopping local. i love to support my local businesses, but besides <a href="http://totokaelo/" target="_blank">totokaelo</a>, the pnw doesn't have much to offer me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
boohoo, poor me, right? anyway. i'm finally off my vacation comedown and getting back into my daily routine. boy did i miss ballet! it makes monday almost the best day of the week, ALMOST. i wish it was more often than that.</div>

If the interweb were my closet <a href="http://www.openingceremony.us/products.asp?menuid=2&menuid2=209&productid=38164&sproductid=38166" target="_blank">this</a> Opening Ceremony cutout trim dress {$360} would be in heavy rotation. But in reality I'd happily settle for <a href="http://thriftedandmodern.com/laser-cut-out-dress" target="_blank">this one</a> from Thrifted & Modern {$62}. Booby winks and all. I literally just stumbled upon this shop. How did I know know about before?! So many new cute affordable clothes and some real vintage gems. </div>

I've packed away my suitcase and put my jet setting days behind me, at least for the time being. I'm happy to be home with the boyf and Georgie but I sure do miss the heat. Oh and there's that thing called work I had to go back to. </div>

With my whirlwind trips, I kept forgetting I had bought tickets to see Aziz Ansari. This was my first time seeing stand up and boy Aziz did not disappoint. Whenever the boyf and I go on road trips we listen to Aziz's first stand up so it was exciting to hear some new material. If you thought his R. Kelly impression was good wait til you hear his Seal impression. He also touched on the topics of being the cutest brown baby alive and his views on marriage. I won't even try to repeat any of his jokes because i know I'll fail miserably. </div>

Afterwards we hit up <a href="http://lepichetseattle.com/home/" target="_blank">Le Pichet</a> for some late night eats. Which was pretty much amazing. I don't think I could ever tire of eating french food, although my waistline would. I don't know how the French eat all that bread and stay so thin. Must be all the wine and cigarettes. </div>

I picked up these shiny pants from Topshop while I was in Vegas n sale for $50! I'd say that was a steal. I'm not one to usually by multiples of an item but these came in high waisted shorts too and I couldn't say no. I made friends with the girl at Barney's but other than that I got mostly odd looks while I was wandering through downtown.</div>

A quick hello before I'm off to a work <a href="http://aihce2012.org/" target="_blank">conference</a> in Indianapolis and then Vegas for 4 days for a friend's birthday! Not to mention I just did a little road trip to Crater Lake. Nice to pretend to be a jet setter for a month. The <a href="http://thedeviltopay.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">boyf</a> and George sure are sad though.

Sigh. I had written a nice post and some captions to go with all my photos. Then I decided to upload a couple more photos via my iPhone and it reverted back to the post on my phone. So instead, here's a lovely photo stream of whats been going on over the past two months. </div>

I moved to a new spot with a view! Started ballet and cooked a lot. Barely did any shopping, instead I get to spend all my money at the vet. I guess thats why I wear the same two shirts all the time.</div>

i stopped posting recipes on here mainly because they're never my own, so it seems weird to give you instructions on something that i technically didn't create. however, i'm thinking i may do a weekly recap of what i cooked and a link to the recipes. let me know what you think!<br />

if you're not familiar with country music stars (i'lll assume you're not) getting to see dierks bentely play in a small venue for free was pretty darn exciting. apparently he's pals with mike mccready, who decided to make an appearance and play a few songs with him. they even did a cover of just breathe. (*just did a quick interweb search and found a video of it <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=dierks%20bentely%20peal%20jam%20cover&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CE4QtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DP8g8nF6L01w&ei=BuPHT5qWJay42QXK5NXUDQ&usg=AFQjCNEs0pFR9fW06rzEabu4Bzye0d9_aw&sig2=JnijVxMY4cXYn5hl7SegyA" target="_blank">here</a>. success!)</div>

easter, always one of those holidays my family pretends not to care about but makes it into a huge ordeal at the last minute. i was planning on enjoying our last day in rose city grabbing another cuppa joe at barista, checking out a few more shops, then hit up <a href="http://www.mcmenamins.com/54-edgefield-home" target="_blank">edgefield</a> for some gin, <a href="http://www.newseasonsmarket.com/" target="_blank">new seasons</a> for some <a href="http://www.newseasonsmarket.com/our-departments/bakery" target="_blank">garlic bread</a> (i dream about the stuff) and perhaps the premium outlets on the way home. alas, we didn't have time for everything but alcohol and carbs being high on my priority list we made time for a couple of stops. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
during our trip we went to an art installation in someones closet. don't ask my how i get myself into this mess. it just happens. anyway i'm sure if you scroll through my photos you can figure out what it was. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the upside to coming home early was an easter egg hunt (never too old!) and the dags getting a chance to play in the lake. </div>

we originally planned our trip to portland because the <a href="http://thedeviltopay.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">boyf's</a> <a href="http://kraquipiso.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">brother</a> was showing some work in an art show. the show ended up getting pushed back but the idea of a mini holiday sounded too good so we headed south anyway. luckily for me the weather gods are usually good to me when i go on vaca. it was in the 70s and 80s when i was in new york <a href="http://the-champagnelife.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-york-diary-part-1.html" target="_blank">last october</a> and snowed less than a week later. hows that for some luck. anyway i couldn't have asked for nicer weather. visited a few of our fav local haunts and discovered some new ones as well. i had my heart set on eating at <a href="http://www.pokpokpdx.com/" target="_blank">pok pok</a> but with a two hour wait it didn't happen. we ended up at <a href="http://bamboosushi.com/" target="_blank">bamboo</a> instead. IMO don't believe the hype its overpriced and bland. but on the upside the bro took us to <a href="http://biwarestaurant.com/" target="_blank">biwa</a> and that was delightful. </div>

remember when you were little and your parents used to tell you time went by faster the older you get; well they weren't lying. march went by in a flash. another trip to the mountains, celebrating a few birthdays including the <a href="http://thedeviltopay.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">boyf's</a>, me and <a href="http://neonnightmare.com/" target="_blank">the nightmare girls</a> selling at a new market. all that and trying to squeeze in some much needed love with george and some downtime watching new girl. which i'm officially OBSESSED with. </div>

boohoo, back to my <a href="http://instagrid.me/georgekillskids/" target="_blank">instagram</a> pics. i've been lurving denim like no ones business these days. despite not enjoying wearing jeans all that much i want to wear it everywhere else. i've also been trying to rotate in some oldies that have been hiding in the closet. like the jeans in no. 2. i've been wanting some boyfriend cut jeans for a while but they're all too baggy on my midget legs. i tried on this old pair of joes jeans to see if it was time to send them to crossroads/buffalo exchange (more on that in a future post). usually the boyf hates anything too "fashionable" but he says, oh did you finally find some boyfriend jeans? success! </div>

i've been in a bit of a hair rut lately, so i've been forcing myself to try out new things. <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/54043264248492669/" target="_blank">this</a> style is really easy and there's a tutorial <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/54043264248492568/" target="_blank">here</a>. and it leaves your hair curly if you sleep with it up overnight. two for one, YAY. also i've been reading too much <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=paradise+kiss&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=gKJ0T4f4JoHUiAKG95Qb&ved=0CEoQsAQ&biw=1267&bih=867#hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=paradise+kiss+manga&oq=paradise+kiss+manga&aq=f&aqi=g-S1&aql=&gs_l=img.3..0i24.1332l2718l0l2920l6l6l0l3l3l0l37l96l3l3l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=af2b8544bde708e6&biw=1267&bih=867" target="_blank">manga</a> <strike>(i know i'm a secret dork and fourteen)</strike> which lead me to this funny little 'do in no. 3. i got a lot of weird comments at work but i thought it was cute. so they can't get me down!</div>

i realize its been a while since i posted a cocktail recipe. my last one was way back in <a href="http://the-champagnelife.blogspot.com/2011/11/cocktail-time-birthday-girl.html" target="_blank">november</a>. sadly i haven't been enjoying any exciting new cocktails at home. winter usually brings on the beer, then guilt sets in and i move on to wine or gin and tonics. now i'm bored with those as well. so i like to see what i can make at 11pm on a saturday night with the ingredients i have have laying around. turning to my trusty <a href="http://pinterest.com/georgekillskids" target="_blank">pinterest</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/georgekillskids/chin-chin/" target="_blank">cocktail board</a> i can usually find something. enter the <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/54043264247958049/" target="_blank">citrus lillet spritzer</a>. like most recipes i find it has good bones but not exactly what i want. there was just too much lillet and oj action in this drink. with a splash of champagne. sorry martha, you had it all wrong; there always needs to be more champagne. <strike>this is a good example as why you'll never see a baking recipe on this blog. it would be an utter disaster. i'm aware baking recipes are an exact science. </strike></div>

hi! finally a proper outfit post. thanks to turning the clocks ahead i've been able to get outside when there's daylight. and the sun decided to make an appearance after the snow storm blew through the city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this past weekend was one of those weekends where you get to do things at your own pace. after two trips to the mountains and the <a href="http://thedeviltopay.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">boyf</a>'s birthday it was nice to have things be low key. saturday <a href="http://jupiter-eyes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">voss</a>, <a href="http://lookbook.nu/alext" target="_blank">terris</a> and i braved the snow and headed south to find some new goods for the <a href="http://neonnightmarevintage.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">neon nightmare shop</a>. and found lots of great stuff. i behaved myself and didn't bring home any personal items. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for linner the boyf and i sought refuge at <a href="http://kushibar.com/" target="_blank">kushi bar</a> (which has become my new fav spot). although the bars and streets were packed with people celebrating st. patty's day, the restaurant only had a few patrons. guess any non-pub was a good choice for a relaxing meal. since it was so nice out we were able to walk home. which lead to us popping into <a href="http://www.kuhlmanseattle.com/" target="_blank">kuhlman's</a> and the boyf having to drag me out before i pulled out the credit card to by this pendleton portland collection <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10797963@N03/6757200687/" target="_blank">coat</a>. i'm still tempted to go back and buy it. it was on sale.....he should've let me buy it so it would've been remembered as the st. paddy's i bought that fabulous coat and not the st. paddy's that i saw two drunk college kids mooning each other in the middle of the day. for the record i see drunk people's butts far more often than i'd like to admit. such is life. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had to wear some obligatory green of course. this boy scout shirt was my dad's when he was a kid! sadly it doesn't have any of the patches on it anymore, perhaps they got moved to a larger sized shirt at some point. i've had it for a sometime but recently started wearing it. i think its quickly become one of my new favorite shirts. i've also been living in this unif tank. its so soft, it feels like one of those shirts you've had for ages that have just the right amount of wear. i put this on <a href="http://instagrid.me/georgekillskids/" target="_blank">instagram</a> too and unif liked it!! i just about died. i'm sure she likes anything that has a unif hashtag but still. i was giddy for the rest of the evening. </div>

finally tried kushi bar's <a href="http://kushibar.com/house.html" target="_blank">okonomiyaki</a>. i think my version is better but its a treat to have it at a restaurant and not many japanese restaurants in seattle have it on the menu. emo made some awesome okonomiyaki but sadly they've been closed for some time. </div>
