Experience Music Project

One of my favorite things in Seattle was the museum Experience Music Project. They had two very cool exhibits: 1- Grunge; 2- Battlestar Galactica. You might think that it's weird that a music museum has a show about Battlestar Galactica, but recently the place expanded and now also holds the Science Fiction Museum and to me, that show was just a treat!

The Grunge exhibit, which I thought was going to be lame, turned out to have this great documentary about music in Seattle, covering 1990-2005 and it was so great! After I hear enough about Nirvana, we headed to the second floor where they had all the BSG paraphernalia and I just loved it! Here are a few shots of the most interesting pieces.

We spent two days in Seattle during this last trip and I have to say I was impressed with the heat and all the sunshine. I was so glad to not have experienced the stereotypical Seattle day, filled with rain and cloudy skies. 

We were able to see the city, eat at the Pike Place Public Market and walk around in the various parks under amazing sun! I'm completely in love with the views, the mountains, Mt. Rainier, and the water everywhere and I'm hoping my boyfriend will cooperate and write a guest post about these two lovely days!

My favorite thing was, without a doubt, the Public Market. I so wish Denver had a public market, with fresh food, meat, flowers and pickled fruit. Aaaah, I can dream! Outside the market there are other lovely surprises: the original Starbucks store, an amazing French bakery and a great French restaurant. You can't deny the French influence everywhere! 

Here are a few images from this adventure:

It's a hot, hot summer

I got to stop by H&M in Seattle this past weekend and I was not lucky. The store was a mess, they were liquidating everything in their summer sale and the new pieces featured here were not there. But, I still managed to find a few new things - at very good prices - and I'll photograph them later. 

For now, check out the pieces that are hitting the stores today! I'd love to have found that bangle. Love the pink stone!

{so far, my favorite thing during vacation is the public markets we have visited. I'm completely in love with all the flowers - especially the gorgeous peonies I cannot find in Denver - and the variety of fruits available here}
