Lauren Miller doesn't like living in Seattle. It's always chilly and rainy. She works so many long hours that she never makes time to explore the city, even though she's lived there for three years.
Her dream is to write about fashion, though she is such an ultra-ultra-organized person that she has earned the respect of her boss and fellow employees with her stellar ability to organize fashions. When a writing opportunity opens, Lauren follows her dream--but it doesn't get her anywhere. The magazine is going digital, and Lauren's writing style doesn't POP enough for online readers.
Her dream deflated, Lauren makes plans to go home to Scotsdale where she can work as an accountant in her parents' firm.
Finding love in Seattle is good enough reason to stay planted, but even better, Lauren moves into a new position at Seamless where she can create online video posts about fashion. Win-win!
Handsome Rob Peterson is a great tour guide for Lauren. He takes her to a 50's diner, a donut shop, a botanical garden, gets her cotton candy, and takes her to watch a street magician.
The two spend the entire day walking the city streets, yet Hallmark puts Kat Graham in spike heels and expects us to believe she eats all that food and still stays skinny!
Did you also notice how Lauren goes on a "date" with Brian to a fancy dinner spot but then manages to down hot dogs with Rob the same evening? I want that kind of metabolism!
Though Brian hopes to rekindle something from their past, especially since Lauren's planning to return to their hometown, she lets him down gently and tells him they can just "hang out" once she moves home.
Have you ever bumped into an old flame? It's funny how someone who once sent your pulse racing no longer does a thing for you. Life changes and you change. Sometimes it's just not possible to recapture a time or feeling that has passed.
Rob is the embodiment of a dedicated coach who invests time and energy in the next generation.
With Lauren's help, Rob organizes an auction to raise funds to create a travel league for his team. The kids love him, and he loves them, too.
A big shout out to all you coaches who invest in youth! You make a difference.

Who Is Kat Graham?
Although we've never seen Kat Graham in a Hallmark movie until this one, she has a very long and diverse career.
She began acting in commercials at age six and has been in several movies, including 17 Again with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry, though she's most famous for her role in the TV series, The Vampire Diaries.
She's an accomplished dancer who has performed at the BET Awards and for other artists. She's also a singer, musician, and music producer with a degree in recording engineering. She says she'd much rather write music about being an independent woman than being in love--ironic, coming from a Hallmark leading lady!
You've probably seen her in commercials and advertisements too, since she has worked on campaigns for companies like Wet'n'Wild, Foster Grant, Yoplait, and Caress.
She is also highly involved with a Refugee Agency through the United Nations--a cause close to her heart since she's the granddaughter of refugees.
Kat was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1989, to a Liberian father and a Russian-Polish Jewish mother, though she was raised in Los Angeles, California. She was brought up in the Jewish faith and speaks four languages:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Hebrew
Geesh! Is there anything this woman can't do?
It's no wonder her performance in Fashionably Yours is so good! Her many talents have earned her a fan base dubbed the Katpack.
She's no stranger to bullying, and it has made her a tough cookie who can stand up for herself. Let's hope we see her again in a future Hallmark love story.

Exploring Seattle
Think about the city in which you live. Have you explored all of its nooks and crannies? Familiarity has the tendency to make us overlook the gems in our own back yards. People might come from all over the world to experience an attraction in your area, even though you've never take the time to see it for yourself.Handsome Rob Peterson is a great tour guide for Lauren. He takes her to a 50's diner, a donut shop, a botanical garden, gets her cotton candy, and takes her to watch a street magician.

Did You Like the Movie?
Surprisingly, when polled in one Facebook group, Fashionably Yours was the least favorite of the 2020 Hallmark Spring Fever releases. I thought it was refreshing and enjoyable, minus the fact that it's yet another Hallmark movie about a would-be writer and a magazine.For more fun with this movie, check out the 10-question quiz below!
