It's a Wrap

The past few weeks have been non-stop. I have been working like crazy and studying to finish up the fall quarter. It makes me really appriciate the moments I can steal to myself to share with you a few of my favorite things! I've picked up spinning and I'm obsessed. I don't know why I was so scared to try it before. I go to the free classes my gym offers. The teacher is motivating and picks fun music our diverse class can enjoy. One of my favorite weekend brunch spots is Highland Cafe. Lately, I've been hiding out there to study. They have hipster baristas that can whip you up a tastety soy latte in a flash! I love everything I've tried there including their chilaquiles, tuna melt and fresh juices. Recently, I tried their veggie wrap. It was delish! I can't forget about my current favorite accessory: infinity scarves! And my new Lands End flannel from Sears, of course.

Thick As Thieves

Last night I had the pleasure of going out with some old friends to the Piano Bar and The Slayers Club in Hollywood. It's been cold for LA's standards so it was fun to bust out scarves and beanies to get bundled up. Combine that with fantastic live music and you've got a recipe for a very successful night! We started the night out at Birds in Hollywood for their 11pm happy hour. Next stop, Piano Bar. The band sounded great and rallied the crowd inside from the cold for a really fun, intimate set. The Slayers Club was calling our name and I'm so happy it was. The Slayers Club was pretty packed for a Tuesday. We caught the last few songs of Thick As Thieves' set and all I wanted was more. I instantly fell in love with their sound. They mix rock, rap and the softness of their female vocalist beautifully! I encourage all of you to check them out here.
