Exploring in the rain

A little rain never hurt nobody. 

I was a little crushed to see that it was raining this Saturday—but I did not sissy out on my exploration plans.

Instead I layered and layered some more and also realized I haven't brought rain boots to school yet...so opted for cold wet feet in ballet flats for the day.

But that did not rain on my parade.

I had a wonderful day exploring Providence.

I started down in the financial district and then embarked those hills (and boy is Providence a hill) up to the College Hill area and around Brown.

I walked and walked bopping into every shop, museum, art gallery, and cafe just checking it all out.

I found a gem of a shop—actually a pop up consignment shop—where I picked up just a few vintage goodies...which you'll see later :)

Along with about a dozen new shops I discovered, I found about two dozen restaurants and cafes I am dying to try.

On Saturday though I did cozy up to a window seat at Ellie's Bakery and treat myself to a macaroon and some green tea—and the verdict is I definitely will be returning.
