A few weekends ago my friend Sonja, foundress of Tacoma’s Sonja: Clothes To Live In, and I took a break from busy, autumn days and relaxed for a night at the Alexis Hotel.

We started our CRAVEcation on a Sunday at 5pm and finished Monday at noon. It was the just the amount of time we needed to catch up–longer than a dinner meeting, but short enough that you won’t have 100 emails waiting for you when you get back!

The Alexis Hotel is located in a great, central location where you can walk to the Pike Place Market in just a few short blocks. We dined at Café Campagne, and window shopped at Tulip and Sandylew along the way.

In the morning, we headed out in the rain with the hotel umbrellas. A walk on the waterfront, coffee and treats at Macrina Bakery and Café, and a stop at A Mano to drool over boots and dish with Nealy, the proprietress, ended the perfect 20-hour CRAVEcation. I want those over-the-knee brown boots from Spain. Why am I so obsessed about knee-high boots this season? I want them in every color!
