After landing in Seattle and checking in at my hotel, I immediately went out to explore the city!
Natalia? I’m okay with that.
Natalie + Camera + Hotel Room = too much fun in front of the mirror!
Stayed at Hotel Max, in the heart of Seattle. Perfect location and a great view from my room.
I met up with the lovely
Chelsea Lankford of the blog Zipped! Here we are taking a bathroom break after walking about in the drizzling rain!
We couldn’t decide on ordering normal fries or sweet potato fries. The only solution, GET BOTH. yum!
There is a wall completely covered in Gum!! “stuck on you”
On the way to Pike Place Market!
Scary man approaching from behind! haha!! I have a feeling he wanted to be in the shot.
Chelsea looking all beautiful. I absolutely loved taking photos of her. Her style is so classic, simple, and completely cool. She is definitely the ultimate Seattlite!
Exploring the Pike Place Market:
Too many friendly, stylish folks walking about!
What I wore from the plane to the streets: Vintage wool coat and cashmere sweater, H&M button-up, Jeans c/o Big Star, Cole Haan boots, Bally bag
Beautiful soft afternoon light. I love this photo of Chelsea!
Dicks. Apparently it is the In-n-Out of Seattle! But really, is anything as tasty as In-n-Out? But being from California, I’m completely biased.
Out on the town with one of my very good friends from high school,
Allegra Rege. She now studying Production Design at Cornish School of the Arts, which was surprisingly only 2 blocks from my hotel! I love her quirky, “city” style!
Work at 8:30 a.m. at Nordstrom studios! Being spoiled with a Vanilla latte and spinach egg wrap! mmmmmmm.
I was flown out to Seattle, Washington on Tuesday afternoon to shoot for Nordstrom. By the time I arrived it was drizzling, gloomy, and totally giving off a Twilight kind of vibe. Although the weather wasn’t exactly perky, I had the time of my life exploring the streets of Seattle with fellow blogger,
Chelsea Lankford of Zipped. We have been reading each others blogs for quite some time now and when I found out about my modeling gig in Seattle, I thought it’d be the perfect time to meet up! She is so much fun and just such a genuinely nice and sweet girl! Thankfully, she had the day off work and so she took me to Pike Place Market which was just a short walk from my hotel. It was absolutely beautiful. The water, the people… everything was just so refreshing, and more so due to the clean air that comes with tons of rain. I had the best time snapping away with my camera, finally used to working Manual mode on my camera (I can’t imagine shooting any other way. Being completely in control of all aspects makes for the best shots). I got to take plenty of shots of Chelsea which was so great! What I love most about bloggers is they really don’t mind getting their picture taken. Total naturals in front of the camera. I’m currently itching to shoot more friends. And so that night I photographed one of my best friends,
Allegra Rege, who attends Cornish School of the Arts, as we met up for sushi and a movie. We walked all the way up Capitol Hill, where she introduced me to the cutest little cafes and vintage shops all while I snapped away with the camera. Gaaah, it was SO MUCH FUN. Just getting to see an old face again was so refreshing. I can’t stop laughing when I’m with her. It’s like time never passed. We ended seeing a very late screening of Blue Valentine in a completely empty theatre (it was hilarious being able to just laugh/talk as loud as you want b/c there’s no one there to tell you otherwise!) Capitol Hill is definitely one of the places I plan on visiting again sometime during the day when all the shops/art galleries are open! I had the best time in Seattle meeting up with an old friend, making a new one, and shooting for one of my favorite department stores! Can’t wait to work in the city again. It was a dream!
Whoaaaaa looks like major fun!!! 😀

lovely photos! the fries look gooood!
Great and fun post Natalia!! (haha) 😀 Love it!
I’m so impressed you use manual mode and take those beautiful photos!! I’ve had my own DSLR for a while now, but still always using ‘auto’ for focus and almost everything… hmmm I should start to try HARD to get used to manual mode and know about more camera skill!
AHHH I REALLY want a blogger friend with me here in Osaka!! So that I wouldn’t seem strange with carrying a big camera for a girl and taking pictures everytime I find something interesting… or I wouldn’t need to hesitate to ask a friend to take a full-body photo of me! 😛 hehe
HMMM there’s only my twin sister (not blogger though :P) for now.
oh, sorry for the loooong comment!

the weather is wet and cold, but you are giving the city a lot of warmth. It is so delightful to see you walking around, it brightens up the most rainy day. I am in love with the red coat because of the buttons. Gorgeous the way you combined it with simple black leggings. Fast-food, everybody body knows it is not a good idea, but it makes you happy once in a while. I am so in love with the bag, big and beautiful
oh, it sounds like you had a perfect time! i’ve always been dyyying to visit seattle… now it’s even worse haha. anyway, you took awesome photos. and i love your red coat!
You lighted up that rainy day with this beautiful red coat! I love the length of the sleeves! 🙂
xoxo

Not much to say, just that you’re looking great as always!

Seattle is such a lovely city; I love visiting there. And Pike Place Market is such a neat place to hang out. (I’m pretty biased about In n’ Out too though.)
I’m glad you had a lot of fun with the other blogger gals. Your hotel room is so minimalistic and modern with a fantastic view. The poppy red shade of the coat is beautiful on you as well!
http://www.TheFancyTeacup.com
much love.
yay! i love the travel post! there was a total Seattle vibe there and a feeling as though you brought your readers on the trip with you. and that vintage jacket was the perfect choice to accompany you on your travels… 🙂

Hey beautiful! I love your red coat! You should be smiling more on the photos, you look so pretty 🙂 M.
Seattle looks amazing! I really want to go there. Love how you dress so casual yet look totally sophisticated… you’ve made me think it’s time I cut my fringe back in. Lovely!
I love Chelsea! She is such a sweetie, and her style really is perfect.
Seattle is my home away from home. I’ve spent a lot of time there since almost all of my extended family lives in Washington state. My dad grew up there–he actually went to school with the Nordstrom children!
Your photos capture the city’s vibe perfectly, and you, of course, look absolutely gorgeous.
I’m a big fan of the Aperture priority mode myself, since I usually just go with the exposure the camera tells me minus/plus a couple stops with the exposure compensation wheel. But I can’t imagine shooting full auto, that’s for sure!
