It is important to note – 2 hours changing a tire + 2 long drives in pouring rain + 2 late nights staying up talking in your hotel + 3 anxiety inducing days of talking to new people = a very tired Emily. I like to call other people out when they’re being bat shit crazy, so I’m going to cop to the fact that I had a total meltdown this evening. Lots of sulking and several tears later, I think I’ll try to keep this post quick.
I knew my monster recap was going to take a little time so I got up bright and early (7:40) with Adam to get working. I had brunch plans with friends at 11 and I didn’t want to eat breakfast so I made myself a mug of Starbucks hot chocolate (stolen from HLS breakfast).
I finished my post just in time for a final meet up with friends before we head back to school.
Sweetness_7 Cafe is only .9 miles from our apartment so I decided to walk and bring the little dude with me.
This was the first time Kim or Anna have seen Webster and of course he totally stole their hearts. Sweetness_7 was very sweet about letting me have the puppy on their porch and I was so glad I brought him. Though it was a little hard to eat with him squirming in my lap.
For lunch I ordered the # 6 without mayo.
A turkey, mozzarella, tomato and caramelized onion panini,
with a simple greens side salad.
I usually forget to add it at home but there was salt on my salad and that definitely elevated it. My sandwich was good too, nice and melty. My stomach was feeling funny though (I think from being so tired!) so I ate exactly half and brought the rest home to Adam.
It’s so cool out it is actually cold, so I got to order a hot drink.
I asked for black tea with steamed skim milk and when the barista said “like a London fog?” I just nodded. Upon close sipping it seemed as if the drink had been sweetened (though steamed milk does taste sweet?!) so now I need to Google London Fog.
Apropos of nothing, I’m going to show you my outfit because I think my new dress is so cute.
This was a J.Crew sale birthday score and the bubble hem makes my heart happy.
I spent my afternoon running errands and getting more and more exhausted. I tried to hit the ground running from my trip and took care of the bank, post office, tailor, and grocery. I was starving from my small lunch so I picked up hot bar around 5:30.
Ratatouille plus a few random veggies,
and broccoli macaroni and cheese that was totally swoon worthy.
The broccoli was cooked into the sauce and there was cheese nestled in its nooks and crannies!
Just as the meltdown began I also ate all of the toppings off of this mini sundae.
And end scene on my self-control. We did manage to take Webster on another long walk, but dinner never happened because I just couldn’t deal with it. I’m not sure if Adam was hungry or not but I think he’d rather just not deal with me. And on that note, I’d be silly not to hop into bed!
Do you know what a “London Fog” is?


















A “London Fog” was what Starbucks called one of their tea lattes when they first introduced them. It is Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup, and steamed milk (and super delicious!). Yours looks fab – hope you enjoyed it!
Oh, thanks. That sounds wonderful!
I have that dress! Love it. Actually I have the blue one, too, and wore it at HLS on Saturday night, ha! I like that you paired it with a belt. I will have to try that. Thanks for everything, Emily!
Omg, I didn’t realize *that* was the dress you were wearing; I’m glad I didn’t change b/c this was the dress I had packed to wear, we’d have been twins! Thank YOU!
