When you get invited to go to London and you have a gold lamé dress and you're headed to tea at the Savoy, and you cross Big Ben...I think you know where I'm going with this. Quite possibly my favorite fashion moment ever. #goldlaméeveryday
A Very British Bleisure Trip
I am, admittedly, a complete Anglophile. I want to be covered in a Union Jack print suit while stomping around in white knee high boots. So when British Airways gave me the opportunity to not only head to the most genteel place on Earth but to also fly their World Traveler Plus class, I packed my favorite gold lamé dress and prepared myself to have all those Downton Abbey feels. We started the trip in the BA lounge where I had some champagne and OREO cookies to prepare for the flight. As we boarded, we were offered a glass of champagne, huge reclining seats, pillows, socks and blankets. I cuddled up with all of the things and lulled myself to sleep watching Point Break. It was the easiest flight of my life. They truly are the best at mixing business with leisure (#bleisure anyone?).

Don't Take My Boba
The other day I was at a new boba tea place excited to order my usual "Taro milk tea, no sweetness, light milk, extra ice, no boba with grass jelly, matcha pudding and fresh taro." To my utter shock instead of an Asian teeny bopper ready to take my order, I was greeted by some white hipster with a nose piercing and a fully groomed beard. After I told him my order he told me, I had to order from their menu which not only DID NOT have Taro milk tea, no sweetness, light milk, extra ice, no boba with grass jelly, matcha pudding and fresh taro, but their boba teas were mixed in with a bunch of weird things like kale salads and buratta. What??!! There was no popcorn chicken, no fish balls, no deep fried tofu dunked in that ridiculously spicy chili powder. And then I got a little scared and realized that those SF artisanal coffee people were trying to infringe on my beloved boba teas! They're trying to make artisanal boba tea! I don't want artisanal boba tea! I don't care that my taro tea comes from some weird purple powder and that those tapioca balls are unnaturally way too chewy to have normal edible stuff in them. That's the beauty of the boba tea, the grossness! SF, you've gone too far, you can coffee, you can have juices, you can have bread, and you can have ridiculous artisanal workouts, but don't take my bobas! #I'mGoingToRipYourNoseRingRightOffYourFace!!
