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.

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.

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!
What a lovely mauve-colored building with wheel window in the last pic. Maybe you can laser your sun spots off, although you'll have ugly brown scabs on your face for awhile!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I do need to see my dermatologist soon. I'll ask about lasering them off! That's St. James' Church located on 865 Madison Ave. It's a beautiful buidling.
DeleteYour grandma is super cute, Leslie! What a lovely picture! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing pictures of your trip! I bet your grandma looks forward to your next visit. :)

Hi Andrea! Thanks for stopping by! She really is the cutest. I hope I'm half as cute when I'm old. She's already asking me when my next visit will be! =D
Deletehi Leslie! I enjoyed your travel pics! Thanks for sharing! I should try brunch at Laduree some time! I know their macarons are famous, but the croissants look delicious as well! Wishing your grandma good health and happiness! She's the cutest 100 year old!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yes, Ladurée has amazing macarons! I really should have gotten some to bring back to Atlanta. Next time! Thank you for the well wishes for my grandma. I miss her the most!
