Nordstrom x Opening Ceremony Pop-In Shop 11/06/15

Here is a picture of some recent purchases I've made from Nordstrom and their new pop-in shop featuring Opening Ceremony pieces! Stay tuned next week for a post on a Hello Kitty Party I went to in Seattle. Also, I recently went to the new Zara that opened up in Bellevue Square Mall and it is so nice and spacious. I was able to grab some good items from there, and I can't wait for Black Friday! Next week, there will be more exciting events and news with fashion posts and more. I'll be putting in more effort to have more outfit and fashion posts and to take more outfit pictures for Instagram. 

Keep up with me on Instagram: "sonder_wonder" to see what I've been up to lately, if I haven't made a post on it yet on here or the pictures that are exclusive to my IG. 

I hope you guys are having a great weekend and staying warm!

Uniqlo Pre-Opening Party 11/05/15

#MyCollectionStory on Instagram

Jermaine

These are some photos from the Uniqlo Pre-Opening Party at the Uniqlo in Bellevue Square Mall. There was free sake,   music performance by the local band The Flavr Blue, a DJ, complimentary drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and access to shop the store before the public grand opening. Also, Seahawks player, Jermaine Kearse was there, and I got to take a picture with him! They also gave away a free tote bag, a cookie, and a wooden sake cup. They had a red carpet laid out with a Uniqlo banner for you to be able to take pictures in front of. The party was such a great event, and I'm happy I was able to attend. 

Also, I went to check out my Instagram pictures in the Social Spot area, and I have to admit it was neat to see my pictures in the spot and on the TV screens! I'll be back at the mall this weekend for Zara's opening. I am also looking forward to more events this weekend, including one at the EMP and more mini hipster Seattle adventures/excursions.

Stay tuned for more and something with Hello Kitty! ;)

#MyCollectionStory and the Beginning of November

I posted this picture to announce that you will be able to see some of my Instagram outfit pictures at The Bellevue Square Mall as part of the #MyCollectionStory campaign to welcome  the new stores and expansion of the mall. My pictures and pictures from other fellow bloggers are being showcased in a slideshow on a TV screen in the social spot of the mall, where the entrance to Uniqlo will be on Level 1.  

Uniqlo finally opens next week, and I am excited to go the pre-opening party before the actual grand opening day. Apparently, Macklemore and the mayor will be there on the grand opening day, so I'm very excited and am looking forward to attending the party and the grand opening day!

On other new developments, I have started my Visual Design class. I am very happy that I am taking this class at General Assembly, a community based school who really cares about their students' learning and how much you are getting from the class. They have several branches across the world in many international metro cities, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and more. I can't wait to start building my personal portfolio!

For this Halloween weekend, I am going to a Halloween party in my design school's building and also a Dia de Los Muertos celebration at the art museum. On Halloween day, I will be going to Freaknight 2015. 

In addition, I will be attending an exclusive press preview for a new exhibit, Paradox of Place, at the Seattle Asian Art Museum today. I will have a post with more detailed information of the event and pictures from today up next week. I will also have a post on my Halloween weekend up sometime towards the end of next week! 

This November is packed with many exciting events and activities leading up to Black Friday and Thanksgiving week. Stay tuned to see what I will be up to or what event I will be going to next! :) I hope you are all doing well and have a Spook-tacular Halloween weekend! Keep on adventuring!

The Bellevue Collection's #ISpyBellSq Instagram contest & just for funsies extra fashion outfit shoots

TGIF everyone! 

Going off the list from yesterday's post on future fashion pics here is #1! Bellevue Square Mall of the Bellevue Collection, had a spring fling style contest for Instagram which I decided to enter in. 

The contest basically wanted you to share your favorite clothes and items from your favorite stores in the mall, using your creative skills to photograph and showcase the items. Then you would share your pictures on Instagram and hashtag "ISpyBellSq" to submit and enter your photos. The contest was from March to April with them announcing the winners the first week of May. 

I submitted a total of three photos to the contest {completely not in order: the 2nd, 3rd, & 5th photos, they're labeled} and then just took two extra ones just for fun {1st photo & 4th}, because I couldn't resist not sharing everything I got just for the halibut, I mean why not!? It was a joyful shopping spree!  

The last pic is of what I bought with my gift card and the same picture I shared on Instagram giving a shout out of what I had purchased. 

I'm so grateful for the opportunity and for have being chosen as one of the winners. Who knows? I might dabble more in future Instagram contests. I'm excited to work more on the fashion side of things but my blog will always be my personal lifestyle blog with no advertising or marketing gimmicks, I can promise you that!

Look forward to the remaining fashion posts listed from yesterday's post: #2 and #3. Also, next week I will have a post about exciting news on the business growth here in the Puget Sound- in Seattle and Bellevue. It'll highlight what big stores will be opening up here and many other new retail. Many exciting things to look forward to! 

As always, if you wanna see what I'm doing now or this weekend's adventures and shenanigans, just check out my Instagram page! It's the fastest and most current way to see what I'm up to when I'm out and about & on the go! 

Have a great weekend guys! Have fun and be safe. :)
