Washington

Washington State has been home since I moved to the U.S. — a place where mountain views meet city life, and cosy neighbourhoods sit just beyond the bustle of Seattle.

Whether it’s style inspiration, local coffee shops, or discovering what makes Washington unique, this is where it all comes together.

    Sorry not sorry for even more sky photos in your timeline. I took the last photo lying down in my driveway at midnight wearing my pj’s. I really hope the neighbours didn’t see me. #northernlights #auroraborealis #seattleblogger #basicbitchonabandwagon

    This is 40 (somehow, because I still feel like I just finished uni a few years ago) 40 always seemed like such a big age, even up to last week, so I’m not sure how I’m grown up enough to…
