Great Food in a Great Place

I adore Washington DC. It's my favorite city! (New York is obviously runner up). I especially love Georgetown. The shopping is great, the food is delicious, and the overall vibe is amazing. I went back to DC (again) to look at Georgetown University and George Washington University over my spring break. Let's just say I ate a lot of great food while I was there.

Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons hotel is fabulous. The food was so good I could hardly stand it! They bring out an adorable french fry sampler as an appetizer-they're so delicious and crispy!

This salad was delicious! Not your typical salad- it was sans lettuce. 

Ended the night with a savory steak. The plates came out so hot, I couldn't even touch it! 

Both mornings we ate in at our hotel. I really wanted to get a late brunch, but our schedule unfortunately couldn't allow it. Next time. However, I did have a fabulous waffle with mixed berries on top! (As well as a healthy fruit salad the second morning to detox my body from all the french fries!)

I really recommend Cafe Milano to anyone visiting Georgetown. It's your typical fine Italian dining. I got this great pizza with buffalo mozzarella. 

This may be just me and my picky eating habits, but I absolutely cannot eat tomato soup unless I eat it with grilled cheese... Call me crazy but I just don't like the taste of tomato soup on its own. 

Lots of delicious foods this time around! (P.S. I stopped in at Shake Shack for lunch one day as well, I couldn't resist.) I can't wait to come back to Georgetown soon! 

What are YOUR favorite spots to eat in Georgetown?

Weekend Looks.

This weekend was absolutely beautiful. It finally started to feel like spring (it's about time)! Sunny and in the 60's, my kind of weather! Saturday I just relaxed outside, playing with Max and riding my bike. Today, I got a little more dressed up and I think I'm going out for ice cream later! It was a great way to end my spring break after getting back from DC Friday night (but I'll save that trip for another post).

Friday

I love this outfit! It's so simple and comfy, but cute at the same time. It's perfect for a warm but breezy spring day. 

Oh goodness, I love this necklace. I purchased it at a boutique near my house last year, so unfortunately you can't get this exact same one. It's so cute for the spring and summer, and I love the green stones in between! Here's a starfish necklace from J.Crew that's also cute.

I kept things casual with no makeup and a not-so-cute messy bun. My shirt is from J.Crew! I got it last year and love it-especially the zipper detailing on the side! (similar)

My jeans are the comfiest in the world. They're from American Eagle, where I get most of my jeans. This type for some reason just fits me really well! 

Lastly, my beautiful sneakers! They're white converse and can be so versatile. Wear them with a dress, or jeans like I did! I love the bright white. 

It got a little chilly at night so I threw on this striped jacket from the Loft and let down my hair. The jacket keeps you warm without being too heavy for spring time. 

Saturday

This look is so fun! I talked about this skirt in my last blog post, and purchased it the next day! The eyelet pattern is so cute. I love the pop of neon yellow even though it's not something I would normally go for.

I put my hair into a tiny low bun, with a gorgeous headband from the Loft. I don't think they sell these anymore, but when I was in the store the other day I fell in love with this one! My shoes are plain nude flats by Bandolino, a great affordable shoe brand.

I paired the skirt with this navy polo from Old Navy, but it would look great with a white or chambray shirt! 

I popped my collar shortly after we took the picture. It's a great way to make a look a little more casual! 

I have on my favorite pair of Raybans. They feel light on your face and I wear them all the time!

What did you guys do this weekend? 

Thanks for reading and see you soon! Xoxo,

LOFT Sale!

Right now, The LOFT is having a huge sale! 50% off on everything online, plus an extra 25% off if you are a new customer. I've been eying a few of the pieces on their website for a while now, and have waited for a great sale like this to place my order. Here are the things I love:

1// Pink Scallop Dress

This dress is to die for! Love the cropped illusion and the unique back.

2// Windowpane Skirt

After seeing Carly Heitlinger wearing this in a blog post, I fell in love with the skirt and needed to have it! Perfect transitional piece from winter to spring.

3// Geo Eyelet Skirt

Okay, normally I'm not one to go for a bright neon color but I completely adore this skirt! It would look so cute with a simple white tee tucked in and a pair of esperadilles wedges.

4// White Scallop Shorts

I looked at these shorts and immediately thought of summer, going to the beach, and getting ice cream. One of my summer staples is a good, comfortable pair of scallop shorts. Also, they're about $40 cheaper than the Lilly Pulitzer ones!

5// Striped Dress

I also love this dress! LOFT has been coming out with some amazing spring pieces, but I think this would look just as cute in the summer time with a pair of cute sandals or wedges.

Are any of you guys going to be placing an order on LOFT? I know I will!
