Snapped these pics around a super cute breakfast place Emil and I like to go to. Used to be our Sunday spot, but lately we've been coming here a least 3 times a week. Sometimes more :) We are sort of obsessed with their coffee and desert selection. We have a soft spot for macaroons and theirs are especially amazing! 

I also love the area around the cafe, located on a super quiet street, I can never pass up an opportunity to browse through nearby vintage stores. Just last week, I found an amazing silver tray for my coffee table. I've been looking for a piece like that for months now, so I was over-the-moon excited once I finally found it! 

How about you guys, do you have a favorite cafe you like to go to?

I am always surprised at the difference of opinions whenever Jacaranda trees start to blossom across Los Angeles. Some people find shedding of the flowers messy, others are indifferent, I personally love this time a year. There is something magical about walking under a canopy of lavender Jacarandas, on a ground covered with vibrant purple-bluish petals. And since Jacaranda trees bloom for only about 2 months a year, I never miss an opportunity to walk on the streets lined with these beautiful trees. And take blog photos of course:)

Do you remember that old Alanis Morissette song "Isn't it Ironic", especially that one line about "rain on your Wedding day..."? Ok, so it didn't rain on my Wedding day, but it did rain on my only day off in like 3 weeks. When I woke up and saw the dark & gloomy sky, for some reason it was the first thing that came to mind:) So, in an effort to save the day, I decided to engage in some retail therapy, i.e. finish up my Christmas shopping list. 

Granted, going to an outdoor mall on a rainy day could have been problematic, but Americana at Brand  happens to be one of my favorite shopping places and I was also really excited to see all the Christmas decorations. I am such a kid at heart, I love Christmas trees, garlands and lights and of course good old Christmas music. I am pretty sure I know the words to most Christmas songs! Just ask Emil, I start singing Christmas songs in November, so by late December his head is spinning:) 

Long story short, the day was completely saved and Emil and I ended up having a totally awesome time. So, who cares about bad wether, sometimes all you need to have a good time is great company, a hot cup of coffee and some serious shopping!
