Cruising through the Capital

After returning from Florida on Thursday, I repacked for cold weather and headed to DC with one of my best friends.

First stop, Drybar blowouts. I was excited to share the experience with my bff who’s never been.

Mimosas & Mean Girls. What better way to start the day, while getting a blowout?

This time, I opted for the Mai-Tai (messy & beachy.)

Jade & I after our blowouts.

We had to stop at Georgetown Cupcake (aka DC Cupcakes on TLC.) 

How amazing is this Swarovski crystal embellished KitchenAid mixer? 

They have the best vegan carrot cake cupcakes I’ve ever tried. Yes, the Whole30 got pushed back to this week to avoid torturing myself, and not being able to prepare meals while traveling.

The trip was filled with fun touristy DC  sight-seeing.

Beach days ahead with this fun thrifting find at Current Boutique.

On Sunday we had an incredible brunch at Zaytinya. The mix of Turkish, Greek & Lebanese flavors was tdf! Santorini Fava & Squash Soup, Smoked Olive, Pistachio Santorini Kale Salad and Carrot, Apricot & Pinenut Fritters with Pistachio Sauce.. I definitely plan to recreate these recipes.

On Saturday we had brunch at Smoke & Barrel. This is one of my faves in DC. A brunch buffet that includes vegan french toast, tofu scramble and sweet potato hash is pretty amazing.
