on the menu: Union Square Donuts

Breakfast.

Union Square Donuts, one of the best doughnut places around, recently started delivering. They deliver. Doughnuts! To me!

So, that happened.

Brown Butter Hazenut Crunch (!)

Maple Bacon (!)

These are excellent doughnuts, of the brioche-like rather than the cake-like breed. I like both styles…and tend to prefer whichever one I am at that moment putting into my mouth. These are massive, too.

The delivery guy was a chunk of sunshine (why wouldn’t he be, spreading joy all over?), and I think I may have failed to respond to a fist-bump invitation? But it could have been he was doing a kind of victory fist pump as if to say, “Doughnuts. Right on.”

Ah, doughnuts. I love doughnuts.

on the street: the tweed peplum jacket

Can I just dress like Kerry Washington on Scandal, please? With a splash of dressing like Kerry Washington in life?

[Lyn Paolo, the Scandal stylist, is a bit of a genius. Interesting (well, you know, interesting to me. To people who are into closets and the things you put in closets) tour of the Scandal closet with Kerry Washington here.]

Can we all just?

Well, at least one of us can. The boots are not Olivia Pope*, admittedly, but the jacket is spot on.

*If you are not following this because you are not watching Scandal, you really should consider watching Scandal. It’s on Netflix! Just watch season 1, episode 6, OK?

I love me a bit of tweed. The peplum is a feminine touch here, and the mini cape overlay is just the kind of embellishment I like on a jacket. It’s slightly formal and just beyond what is strictly, functionally necessary. I begin to want a jacket very much along these lines. The seed is planted.

Posting the profile shot so I can point out this woman’s ridiculously long and awesome lashes.

Inspiring, no? Maybe it’s time to dig out those fake lashes I got to play with a while ago.
