J.Crew Outlet - Link Bracelet

I always love the chunky link bracelets that are sold all over the place, but I hated how they looked on my wrists.  Maybe it's because I'm not used to wearing such big pieces of jewelry, but I always felt like it was something other people could wear and not me.

I came across this gold and crystal link bracelet at the J.Crew outlet a while back, and I fell in love with it immediately! The links are much smaller but the crystals still make it an interesting piece to wear alone, or with a bunch of other bracelets.  I got this during a sale too, which meant I paid just under $14 for it- not too shabby! I recently was back at the same J.Crew outlet store and it was still available there, and it also looks like it is still available online if you're interested in getting one for yourself!

Georgetown Cupcake - Caramel Hazelnut Cupcake

Mmm, caramel and hazelnut, what a delicious combination!  I love Georgetown Cupcake's Chocolate Hazelnut cupcake, and this free secret flavor was a delicious variation of the original.  The tasty caramel cake was liberally covered in tiny hazelnut pieces, which made for a crunchy and delicious topping to the soft cake.  I hope they bring this one back again soon!

Astro Doughnuts - Birthday Cake Doughnut

With Astro Doughnuts' Birthday cake doughnut, you can celebrate festively and deliciously, even if it's not actually your birthday...hey, it's gotta be someone's birthday somewhere, right? 

I hadn't seen the Birthday cake doughnut before on my past visits to Astro, so as soon as I saw it on the menu I knew I had to try it out! It's a crumbly and delicious chocolate cake doughnut with glaze, mini rainbow sprinkles, and a generous frosting filling in the doughnut hole crevice.  This doughnut is perfect for any fellow chocolate lovers, as well as a cute edible gift for someone who actually IS celebrating a birthday, haha.
