last week [photos]

It was a nice week indeed in good ol' DC! Here are some photos to recap the past few days:
I was beyond excited to get my new pink Hunter boots in the mail!
Love the view of DC out my window. There's the Washington Monument, the Capitol building, Pentagon, and Air Force Memorial. :) 
 So, I've been waiting a while to get a 2014 agenda. So long to the point that it became February, and then March, and most stores had stopped selling them. Even the Jonathan Adler store didn't have their agendas! However, I went to this cute little boutique in Alexandria called 3 Sisters, and they had a few left! I picked this one up. The above photo is the July 2014 divider, isn't it cute?
I visited the Botanical Gardens for the first time. It was gorgeous and made me forget about the cold, windy day outside.
My other purchase that I got the same time as the the Hunters. A spirit jersey! I had my eye on a similar one for a while, and then finally decided to take the plunge. I love it. It is so cozy. I've already worn it out once with skinny jeans for a casual look, as well as to bed a couple times.
It came personalized with an adorable, silver monogram. :)
Working 15-17 hour days means multiple coffees. For me, it's usually 2-3 per day. You gotta do what you gotta do.
 This eggs benedict for brunch during our break at Graffiato, Mike Isabella's (of Top Chef) restaurant in Chinatown. I really enjoyed it. I mean...look at how thick that slice of ham is!
While I normally don't enjoy waking up at 6am, seeing a different sunrise every morning makes it so much better. Photos cannot capture the beauty of these sunrises. Some days it looks more red, some days more orange, and one day it looked like the opening scene of The Lion King. So pretty.
Andddd we got hit with another snowstorm...boo.

My first time ever having a donut from Dunkin Donuts...it was filled with brownie batter. So worth it. So delicious.
Airport Starbucks & my bright pink passport case
A few of you weighed in on which shade of blue I should paint my nails for my Seahawks Super Bowl pride. I chose the blue Butter shade and layered a silver Revlon sparkle topcoat to make it extra festive. 
 Obligatory Capitol Building photo when I first got to DC ;) it looked beautiful covered in a blanket of snow.
 The perfect day for my first day back: spending it on M Street, getting some Georgetown Cupcakes and doing a little shopping!
 That day's stack (Laurenly ring, Michael Kors watch, J. Crew yellow bracelet and Nordstrom gold arrow bracelet).
Hot pink nails with a glittery leopard bag!

instagrams from europe 2013

 

It's been quite the time here in Europe...adding 11 European countries to my list of places I've been, I've gotten to live my dream right out of college. I'm so happy I was able to make traveling happen. It was something I worked so hard to do and to figure out. I only have 10 more days until my return to the States - and I'm making it count!

European countries I have been to as of December 2013: Italy, Ireland, England, Slovenia, Croatia, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Turkey

There's still so much to see in the world. Feeding my travel bug has helped sustain it for a little, but also made it worse - I have even more travel dreams, and hope to make them happen someday.
