Jade

Today was like a day of rest! The couple i share an apartment with invited me to walk the CycLAvia event today, where the city of Los Angeles blocks off a chunk of Wilshire Blvd. through downtown just for bikers. The three of us just walked but there was a fun, festive feel to the streets, all kinds of people were out there!

I couldn't stop staring at all the amazing buildings in downtown LA, i want to go back tomorrow and take pics. Amazingly decadent Art Deco structures and details grace so much of the area, i think if i were to try and describe it all you wouldn't believe me. It's funny because i've decided my new colors here are going to be a jade/emerald green (hence the blog colors) mixed with a seafoam, mixed with navy/cobalt blue and a little black and white. But i noticed today, all the older buildings have this amazing Jade colored stone in them, some buildings are entirely green marble (or granite?)! More on all this later, can't wait to research :-)

This morning i tried Intelligentsia in Silver Lake, how adorable is it?! The guy who took my order was wearing the cutest tie, wish i got a pic. It takes forever to get one cup, they hand pour it into a beaker with a filter...
