If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know the last thing I said last night was that I was craving Thai tea. Lucky for me, my friend and I were able to squeeze in a trip to the Tea Garden before continuing on with the rest of our day.

It was way too cold for a thin faux leather jacket, but it gave off the perfect vibe for strolling through uptown. And fortunately, there was just enough brightness to justify the glasses. Also, writing this blog post hours later, I want more Thai tea.

It has officially started snowing again, which makes me that much more excited for my trip to Los Angeles in April! I have big plans to be a beach bum and busy shopper with whatever money I can scrounge up by then. So excited! Till then...lots of working and sleeping this weekend. And fighting off the cold with endless coffee.

  7. Meow. You're so stinking cute. I wore a thin faux leather jacket in Minnesota in September and was "freezing" (and promptly made fun of for saying it was freezing), so you must be chilly haha.

    I'm dying for your bag.

    ALSO. Omg if you're going to be in LA in April, I hope you have time to schedule a little meet-up! I think it's necessary! <3
