the best surprise

It might have snowed in DC yesterday, but a couple weekends ago it was practically blissful outside. To take advantage of the weather I coerced a friend of mine into walking around Del Ray - a cutesy little neighborhood in Alexandria, VA that hasn't yet been taken over by tourists.

I loved getting a more in depth feel for the community, and in addition to wine tasting and excellent gluten-free macaroons, I also found the best summer purse in a garden/gift store for only $10! Since the store owner thought it matched my outfit so well she almost forgot to charge me for it, I figured it was only right to take pictures with it too.
