brunch.

don't think there is anything better than brunch at a sunny cafe.  happy weekend!

don't mind if do...

spinach souffle & gruyere crepe

meal not complete w/o a chocolate croissant

whirlwind

whirlwind doesn't even begin to describe.  does anyone else feel like their life in in fast forward mode?  i have been so lucky and been having so much fun this spring.  life is good. 

there will be lots of updates in the coming weeks as i am moving to a new apartment, and 3 - count them 3 - of my very best friends are getting married next month.  to say i will be living out of a suitcase is an understatement, but i am thrilled to be sharing in their special days and making some trips down south.

in my blogisphere absence (the past week, but it feels longer) i have been

-experimenting with loose waves. 2 in. curling iron and no blow dry does the trick for me.  i am loving having some length on my hair. of course i will do anything to channel the lovely olivia p.

-wearing these peep toe booties from Ann Taylor LOFT to death

for some reason the shoe never made the website? but coco kills it in the loft ads.  i have been styling them with boyfriend jeans, a silk blouse and fitted/cropped blazers for work.  they are also the perfect shade of nude!

-hitting up some rooftop bars and enjoying the weather with friends (Marvin & DC9)

-going to small shows.  most notably Lord Huron at DC9

this show/venue was awesome.  i can't sell small venues enough - when you can actually see the band and be close it makes all the difference.

-daydreaming about decorating my new, very own 483 sq foot apartment. 

 

my Sketch42 painting from Etsy arrived and I couldn't be more thrilled.  i love the colors and the graphic design.

besos my dears <3 . 

birthday blazer

much like the 3.1 phillip lim blazer i blogged about before, this zara version will be the perfect outfit to celebrate in with some post-work cocktails on thursday.

pics to come!

aspiration

just sit back and take it all in....good lord i can't get over the amazing-ness that is khloe kardashian's shoe collection.

what i wouldn't give for a closet full of studded louboutin's.

Starf*cker - "Bury Us Alive"

being nerdy at the rock show

ok so i did it. i broke down and embraced my inner nerd.

warby parker here i come

thoughts? i am not going to lie i loved every minute behind those crystal clear lenses.

friday night i had the perfect excuse and venue to test out my new look (and be incognito in case i really did just look like a fool) at The Red Palace on H St.

the openers Lucius & The Spring Standards were on point.

The Spring Standards

Followed by a lively Ha Ha Tonka

loving the 'do on Olivia P in the new Tibi ads.

think i could pull it off?

NYC & LCD

wow. monday. i made it back from one insane weekend in nyc (albeit a little worse for the wear, but totally worth it)

friday beebs & i had a ridiculous dinner at Hillstone.  their veggie burger is out of this world, no missing the meat on this monster.  

saturday morning started off strong with a hot power yoga class at Pure Yoga.  this yoga studio is insane, i mean anytime they offer a cold, eucalyptus infused towel post-vinyasa i am one happy camper. 

anndddddd the whole reason i made the trek up to the city was LCD Soundsytem's "last show ever" an epic evening of dancing ourselves clean & electro music goodness.  the show streamed live on Pitchfork, which you can catch here. followed by a crazy late night dance after-party at the Ace Hotel. this hotel is total hipster heaven - people watching extraodinaire.

loving life. what a good weekend.
