I'm in love with this cardigan duster. And, it pairs perfectly with my semi-sheer Topshop maxi dress. Lovely pairing for a lovely Sunday.

The Long Version

It's Saturday and that means something in DC -- brunch!
Surely the masses will be out as the high for the day is upper 70s. Since Georgetown will be swarmed by tourists, I'm going to enjoy my dad's company over a tasty meal elsewhere! Here are some of my fav spots if you're looking to enjoy brunch today, or in the near future:
Town Hall, Ted's Bulletin, Montmarte, and more!

Be sure to step out in trend! I have been absolutely loving my long cardigans from H&M. Whether it's been cool, hot, or windy, the lightweight fabric has been perfectly versatile. Check out my outfit break down for inspiration on your brunch look today!

Oh! We want to hear from you! Where in your city do you love to brunch?

3, 8, and a Little Bit of Faith

I woke up this morning on a mission. I had a couple errands to run, then make my way over to DC Metro for The Dream Team conference. It wasn't until I got a text from a friend that I looked at the phone realizing today's date: 8.

Coffee in hand (my free 12th drink from Starbucks!), I couldn't help but smirk. 3 years. It's been 3 years since I hopped on a plane and made my venture to the East coast. 

Of course it had been on my mind that this anniversary was coming up. I sincerely wasn't paying attention though. Nevertheless here it is. At times it has been bittersweet-- I miss my friends and the culture of Seattle (hi 12s!)!! Still, it has been rewarding and full of surprises. If you couldn't tell by now, I love a good adventure.

So cheers to 3 on this 8th day. I'm excited for what the Lord calls me to next!
