LA Flower Market

I've wanted to visit the LA Flower Market for the longest time, but I always find a reason not to go (too far away, too early, etc). Well I finally made it there last Saturday and I'm so happy that I went! I ended up buying some amazing roses for only $3!! And this is totally random, but I've always wanted to have a reason to carry around a giant bouquet of flowers wrapped in newspaper. So you can imagine my excitement when I was finally able to do that! I should also mention that when you walk around DTLA with a bouquet of flowers, strangers will randomly come up to you and say, "Are those for me!? I've always wanted flowers hahaha!" True story, guys. PS Expect a new Flower Studies post in the near future!

Verve Coffee Roasters

Did anybody else in Los Angeles get blindsided by the crazy rainstorm on Saturday!? I woke up early that morning to catch the train into the city and didn't even think to check the weather forecast! It's a good thing that I was only a block away from Verve Coffee Roasters when the downpour started. The amazing plant walls at their DTLA location have been all over Instagram and I've been dying to see them for myself! I have to say, drinking a delicious cup of hot chocolate while watching the rain fall was not a bad way to start the day.
