Good morning and happy Sunday!! I’m currently blogging from the beach in Southern California – Orange County to be exact – don’t be jealous 🙂

My morning today consists of a walk on the beach, followed by a Soul Cycle class in Newport Beach, followed by a fresh acai bowl at one of the many places to get them here – gotta love the healthy living of Southern Cali 🙂 I’ll then spend the day catching up with my dad – I couldn’t be more excited that he moved out here and I get to visit him all the time. My friends fly in on Tuesday and my husband gets in on Thursday – needless to say I have quite the eventful week coming up!

Below is the weekly list of my top finds from around the internet this week… enjoy!

Food:

This banana and raisin loaf from Deliciously Ella looks amazing. Definitely making it when I’m back home.

These cacao magic covered bananas from Sophie at Philosophie look deeeelishhhh!! My new go-to dessert 🙂 (for 10% off her products enter leahsplate10 at checkout)

This spinach and lentil dahl over brown rice will be the next dinner recipe I try. Great idea for meatless Monday!

Fashion:

I’ve been lusting over this Mansur Gavriel bag – would be perfect for fall!

Travel:

This guide to Chicago seems spot-on. It will come in handy next time I travel there.

Elizabeth Street is one of my favorite streets in New York. Take a peek at this Guide to Elizabeth Street for the best shops and restaurants to check out.
