Whirlwind Weekend

This weekend has gone by incredibly fast! It was supposed to rain both days, but yesterday turned out to be pleasantly sunny and even a little warm. I spent Friday night with close friends celebrating my upcoming birthday, and Saturday ended up being spent in bed. I guess I had a little too much to drink at my party (two whole drinks.. total lightweight over here). Today, Chris and I spent the afternoon exploring downtown. We stopped by Bottega Louie for a box of macarons and their famous peanut butter terrine, and then made a stop at the Grand Central Market. I am now cuddled up in bed watching the SAG Awards, and I am getting super excited about my birthday on Tuesday. Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!

 

I couldn't resist purchasing this cake hat from my favorite local shop, Sweet Xo. I plan on wearing it for my birthday on Tuesday, all day. I have no shame. I will be 28 going on 5 and I'm totally ok with that.

Horsing around

I live in a neighborhood where pretty much everyone owns a horse. In the summertime, my boyfriend and I like to walk around petting all the horses we can, stopping by our favorite swing (which I will feature in another post soon!). I think there's something special about living in a place where nature is all around you, and the quietness of the outdoors is something worth cherishing. I know that when we move someday, we will miss the tranquility of living in this canyon.
