Hey! I’m Hayley!

Hayley Howells - Seattle Fashion and Lifestyle Blogger

Welcome to ceriselle.org, my space on the internet where I share a little bit of my expat life with some fashion and fun mixed in.
My name's Hayley, and I'm a British blogger currently living just outside Seattle, WA with my husband and our three springer spaniels.
I hope you enjoy coming along this journey with me, and of course, connect with me on social media. I am so glad you are here!

Last month was the first time we’d been back in the UK for a proper visit since moving in 2017, and it was so good to see everyone but nothing makes me feel like I’m home quite like seeing the Eastgate Clock.

We went back for just over a week, and fitted in visiting as many friends as possible, which meant driving from London > Bath > Devon > Aberystwyth > Chester > London ... well, I didn't get to drive but you know what I mean!

Sorry not sorry for even more sky photos in your timeline.

I took the last photo lying down in my driveway at midnight wearing my pj’s. I really hope the neighbours didn’t see me.

Cake for breakfast? Say less.

I hadn’t visited @ladymcakes before, but when @mynameisaiko invited me to be her +1 at a preview event, how could I say no? We sampled the newest flavours, which include Rose, Strawberry (probably my favourite!), Lavender, Berry Mont Blanc, Dassai Blue (which has sake and white chocolate in, yum!) and I had a perfect London Fog latte to go with it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I know how delicious these cakes are, going to Bellevue Square just got a little more dangerous!

A few weekends ago, I jumped in my car and did my longest solo drive up to Blaine, WA to join other members of @creatorscollectiveseattle for a weekend retreat at the gorgeous @semiahmooretreat. I have to admit, I was a little nervous (you’ll probably recognise this now as an ongoing theme with me going to these sort of events!) but I had a lot of fun!

Blaine is where the border crossing into Canada is so this would be the perfect location if you were driving north and wanted to stop somewhere. We actually stayed just down the road last April when we headed up to Vancouver and Whistler (swipe to see the view from the hotel we stayed at then of the Peace Arch, which is on the border)

Connecting with and learning from these girls was a great way to spend the weekend, and the light and airy property was the perfect place to stay with a larger group, especially if you were going to head on further into Canada. Thank you for hosting such a fun time @creatorscollectiveseattle and @semiahmooretreat, lets do it again soon!

This is 40 (somehow, because I still feel like I just finished uni a few years ago)

40 always seemed like such a big age, even up to last week, so I’m not sure how I’m grown up enough to have hit this milestone yet!

First big electric car trip done last weekend (after 6 years of owning electric cars 😂). Walla Walla was so fun, less fun was the single stone that chipped the Rivian windscreen so badly that it needs to be replaced. Views from the passenger seat in happier less cracked times!

Did I take this photo for the glorious blossom or because I’m quite proud of parallel parking Alex’s truck on Main St? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s a bit of both.
