Fred Meyer Bellevue Opening + Giveaway

Earlier this week, Fred Meyer in Bellevue reopened, and I had the opportunity, along with a few blog friends, to visit the store for a preview party before it opened to the public. To say the new store in Bellevue is stunning is an understatement. The store has expanded many of the popular sections like the deli, bakery, and beer and wine, as well as added a wine and beer bar (yes you can drink in store!), sushi counter, seating area, and a giant Starbucks. With the store serving as a WiFi hot spot, you can move in. Okay, maybe not, but it sure would be convenient. ;)

Disclosure: Thanks so much to Fred Meyer for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

When bloggers get together, we often have a lot of fun. My friend Megan and I took to the front of the store where some of the season’s best flowers were for a little photo shoot. I had recently shopped at Fred Meyer for some new on-trend spring items and came up with this outfit.

I’m kind of into the bell sleeve trend right now, and I loved the mini bell sleeves on this cute striped sweater. It’s the perfect weight (not too heavy, but not too light either) for this interim spring weather that can’t make up its mind. I also fell in love with these army green wide leg crops. While they might be a bit too voluminous for my petite stature, I love them anyway.

The peep toe mules from Jorē complete the look. I am loving that mules are back because they are not only incredibly comfortable, but also incredibly chic. I think they look good on just about everyone, and there are so many different mule styles to choose from that you could really incorporate them into just about every look. These black/tan combination of these makes them incredibly versatile and I can’t wait to wear them again and again this spring.

All of these items are available now at the Bellevue store, so I’d definitely recommend checking out their apparel department. They have tons of other cute items for spring, and I was so excited by my finds that I also decided to shoot a little haul video! You can watch it below.
