Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

I feel you, sister.
Some woman once told me I looked nice. I said thanks. Then she said: “Yeah, I really like your costume!”
Costume? These are my clothes!
People gotta go and ruin a perfectly nice compliment

T, I was wearing a fitted black t-shirt, that two-layer blue skirt I got in Paris last year, that little courderoy fisherman’s cap I’ve been loving so much, and maroon suede mary-janes. It’s not like I was in sweats or anything!
