New York Trip - Photo Journal and my New Sunhat from Athleta!

 

Hope you're all doing well. I'm still looking for inspiration these days. I feel like I'm in a rut. I just wanted to do a quick review on my new Athleta Floppy Sunhat. The older I get, the more worried I am about skin care and skin cancer. I've already got some sun spots on my face that makes me wish I used sunscreen more religiously when I was younger. For those still in your 20s and 30s, take my advice and slap it on! This year I decided I needed to get a sunhat that had decent coverage for my entire face and neck, and this Athleta hat checks all the boxes. It's also really colorful and I love that.

I'm back from visiting my family in New York and here's a rare photo of me, my sister, and my grandma. I know, my sister and I look nothing alike! We get that all the time. I look more like my dad and my sister takes after my mom. I guess that means I also look like my grandma. 😊 I can't complain, she's super cute even at 100 years old!

And now for some yummy food pictures. 😋 I'm only going to post the best of the best. For dim sum these were so good, they're like sweet pineapple buns with some sweet cream inside. They're also swerved warm. 

My aunt took me to a soup dumpling restaurant and they had the biggest and juiciest soup dumplings I've ever seen. She told me to take a bite off the top to make a small hole and then pour some soy sauce inside. Of course once you pop the whole thing in your mom, the soup inside the dumplings makes it so flavorful. 

Apparently this egg dish is hard to get in Atlanta. 

Turnip cake - so good.

(That chocolate eclair is to die for!)

In between all the eating, I made sure to get some walking in. There's a little park close to my parent's house that I love. It goes along the water which is something I really miss about living in Atlanta. 

I met up with one of my very close friends and had brunch at Ladurée. They're known for their amazing macarons. Sadly, I did not get some macarons to go. I'm really regretting that now. 😅

Next door to Ladurée was TheRealReal and I could not help but gawk at their Hermés wall of Birkins and Kellys. Hard to see in the photo, but the purple Birkin in the middle is crocodile and the hardware was either diamonds or crystals!

I'm happy to be home, I missed my husband and four kitties so much! Hope you all have an amazing week!
