Hey! I’m Hayley!

Hayley Howells - Seattle Fashion and Lifestyle Blogger

Welcome to ceriselle.org, my space on the internet where I share a little bit of my expat life with some fashion and fun mixed in.
My name's Hayley, and I'm a British blogger currently living just outside Seattle, WA with my husband and our three springer spaniels.
I hope you enjoy coming along this journey with me, and of course, connect with me on social media. I am so glad you are here!

In 2022, I couldn't even get myself to post 9 unique images to the grid again. It's not that I don't like posting, but I am still working on getting over the fear of putting something out there more permanently than a Story. I mean, I still haven't posted anything about when we went to Bend, OR (and of course visited the last Blockbuster) or when we went to Vegas (no gambling but there was sun, shows and a damn big dam). 2022 wasn't a terrible year, but it still feels like I'm climbing out of an uncertainty hole about posting things online and I'm not even sure where that came from!

A new blog post and a new Instagram post? What is happening?

On ceriselle.org today, I've been having a blab about blogging and twitter and something I called internet permanence which I don't even know if that's a thing but do you ever think about what happens with all your social media posts if the social media site goes away? Feels like a waste of things you spend time creating but what can do you about it? idk.

This was always my favourite bit on Sesame Street. And no, this isnt even all of our 20 oz Ramblers, never mind our whole @YETI collection. We don’t have a problem. You do.

New blog post! The latest mystery box of clothes I tried out was @trunkclub by @nordstrom - I was happily surprised by the choices sent and kept a few items! What clothing style services should I check out next?

This weekend, make a trip up to @shoptotemlake and visit @thesweetsideseattle - the hardest decision you’ll have is choosing what to get! I went for a mini cookie cake and it was delicious!

When your @yeti's match your @rothys' (total coincidence but I do actually have Yeti cups that match all of my Rothys shoes 🙈)

Cheers to the weekend!

Not sure why this never got posted, but a while ago, we made some birthday cake martinis for a friend's birthday (duh) and I thought I'd share the recipe because it was pretty easy and very delicious!

🍸🍰🍸🍰🍸🍰🍸🍰🍸🍰🍸🍰

2 parts vodka (you could do vanilla, but we did plain)
3 parts coconut cream
1 part white chocolate liqueur (we found white chocolate Godiva at Total Wine)
1 part Amaretto

Add all the ingredients to a shaker filled with ice, shake it up and serve in glasses rimmed with sprinkles (dip the rim in honey then in sprinkles) and add some squirty cream on top with extra sprinkles for something a little more special!
Drink it quick because the colours from the sprinkles will run!

It's been a while...

Last week, Alex booked us in for our first date night in at least 2 and a bit years at Altura on Broadway - they do a tasting menu and each plate is as beautiful as the next. It's definitely a bit of a splurge, but since we've missed out on celebrating at least 4 birthdays, 2 job changes and 3 anniversaries since our last visit, it seemed like the right way to spend the day after Valentines!

It's all so delicious, from the beginning to the affogato ending with the most delicious hot chocolate ever (honestly, I'd go over to Seattle just for this). If you're looking for a delicious special meal, you must check Altura out.
