I'm home! I had a lovely birthday!
I was sung to by the entire staff of my favourite diner (and they brought me a cup of whipped cream with a candle in it), I got a tattoo gift certificate (woo!), and a gift certificate for shoes (oh yeah!). I was spoiled.
We arrived in Seattle on Friday night:

I was in my travelling clothes:

The belt is another Shi Studios item, but I didn't take a close-up of the buckle - it's a damsel with two cowboys facing off over her.
I wore my whackadoo python print leather coat all weekend:

I kind of wish I'd worn tights, but it was pretty lovely and sunny all weekend.
I changed up the top for shopping on Saturday:

Those boots were so comfy! We walked all over Seattle, hunting down vintage and consignment clothing shops. I found a great skirt and a pair of shoes.
We always go out for a nice dinner when we travel, so I brought a pretty dress:

I have already had a few glasses of wine there, so am a bit silly. "Oh, go on!" New shoes (from a few weeks ago).
Then last night we went to see "Zombieland" (loved it!), and it was colder so I did a lot of layers:

My first wear of my dark cotton trench and these cool boots this season.
A long cardi for keeping warm in the theatre:

And I dyed my hair too:
