Here are some of my favorite things lately:
Festival and Fair things
September brings many events. And many foods.
Greek Festival
Close up of the Greek pastries.
Utah State Fair! I recommend the sprinkle dipped ice cream cone or the fried Oreos.
Gilmore Girl things
For the 16th anniversary of Gilmore Girls and in anticipation of the upcoming revival, 200 coffee shops around the country turned into Luke’s Diner for the day. There were two such “diners” in Salt Lake. I missed out on the merch, but I did get to see the sign. The shop was also playing Gilmore Girl episodes on a projector.
Stranger Things
If you haven’t watched Stranger Things yet it deserves some screen time. Some friends of mine had a Stranger Things party and it was a-mah-zing. I loved seeing everyone’s costumes. We even had a friend make a great demogorgon mask.
Not pictured: Short hair eleven, demogorgon, Will’s house, and Toothless.
Barb stole the show [typical]. My “Barb” was more of an homage to what Barb would wear in present time.
SERIOUS BARB FACES. DON’T UNDERSTIMATE A BARB.
Dine O’ Round things
If you haven’t heard of Dine O’ Round it’s basically one time a year where the restaurants of downtown Salt Lake City do special deals/meals. It lasts about two weeks, which trust me, is enough time to do some serious damage.
Dine O’ Round led me to some new places this year, including Taco Taco.
Obsessed with this Taco Taco decor.
I also visited an old favorite, Gourmandise.
Musical things
This was a great show! Now I’m extra-excited for the live action movie to come out.
These were also great [albeit very different] musical shows.
Tegan and Sara! I love them. I’m glad I got to see them [again]. Caity has been with me to witness the magic both times!
Couldn’t leave Tegan and Sara without this jacket. I mean, c’mon.
Grouplove <3
Cute animal things
Cute animals are kind of a given when it comes to things people love. However, even if you think you’ve seen it all, I recommend you look at this prissy_pig on instagram. These tiny little pigs in pajamas KILL ME. YOU’RE WELCOME.
Ice cream things
I’m obsessed with this flat, Roll With It Creamery ice cream. The only problem is I have to go to Provo to get it.
Fall color things
Finally, what kind of list would this be if I didn’t talk about the colors changing? One of the best parts of living in Utah is experiencing fall here.
Currently: Getting in the October mood with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hope you’re having a good fall, full of your own favorite things.
