I seriously love summer, everything involved with this awesome season makes me wish it lasted forever. Especially summer in Seattle! Dealing with all the rain and misery the majority of the year is worth the beautiful summers we have here. Here are some things us at Trade Chic are diggin' this summer!

Is there any place better to be than Pike Place Market. The energy, the local vendors, THE FOOD, and my personal favorite, the fresh beautiful flowers. I even love the crowds, everyone is so excited and happy.

Lounging in nature. Washington has so many beautiful lakes, parks and beaches. This picture was taken during a camping trip at Lake Katchess. Trade Chic has some awesome swimwear for any beach occasion!

Fresh, locally grown fruit. I could eat raspberries for every meal every day. Yum yum!
