Exploring Savannah In 24 Hours

Last Saturday I embarked on a last minute road/day trip to Savannah, GA with a dear friend. As a first time road-tripper, one thing I can say is that although unplanned events are nice, preparation is definitely key lol. Making a list of places to see worked out perfectly and to our advantage.

We started our journey with brunch at Huey's, a New Orleans cuisine restaurant on the infamous River St. The shrimp and grits & beignets there were actually...no...literally to die for. I would definitely recommend this spot for my fellow foodies. River St. was mostly filled with tons of souvenir shops and is home to the Savannah Bee Company, where we took advantage of the free honey tasting. We also made our way through Broughton St. which is filled with shops like J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Loft and was packed with tourists looking for those post-christmas sales (myself included lol). 

About 5-10 minutes away from Downtown Savannah is the SCAD Art Museum. The collections there were lovely and surprisingly we didn't have to sneak to take photos in the galleries. I captured some amazing shots which I'll be posting as a one part photo series in my next post!

Overall amazing time in Savannah despite the heavy fog (which didn't stop us from going to Tybee Beach before we left)!

Little Tokyo

During my trip to Los Angeles last month, I made a stop at little tokyo (a district in DTLA) and discovered a cute little vintage store named Popkiller. Here I picked up some adorable shades, and a japanese feudal-era inspired bandana that I will most likely be turning into a another halter top!

I also got a taste of the ramen that DTLA has to offer. The first place we went to was Ebaes which might have changed my life! Hands down the best ramen I have ever eaten. The second place was Orochon which is known for its spicy and large ramen portions.

One of my biggest goals is to travel to tokyo in the near future. This little piece of tokyo in LA was a pretty decent starter however. ;)
