Move over Sauvignon Blanc and Kettle Soda, I just discovered my new favorite alcoholic beverage: Veuve Clicquot Champagne. After Vegas, I 86'd all my regular drinks and replaced it with this. Oh and I learned how to open my very first champagne bottle- kinda late but am proud of it. :)
what's good?
Whenever I dine out I guarantee I will ask the server EVERY time, "What is the most popular dish on the menu?" It's my signature question that has never failed me and leaves me satisfied at the end of all my meals. If you know by now I've been an avid user of Yelp but now there's this new app that just released called Nosh that has now replaced the need for it. This app was seriously created for people like me who never know what they want to order but want to be certain their decision won't lead to disappointment. I've been joining a ton of new social platforms lately-- Google+ and now this, so if you want to follow me on Nosh and see what foods I enjoy, this will be the place to do so!
always remember me
cache dress, aldos shoes
The last time I wore a long formal gown was most probably in high school for prom, which dating myself was almost 10 years ago. This dress is actually from my cotillion on my 18th birthday and fortunately my mom saved it so I was able to wear it for the Glide SF Legacy Gala. Because of that, I was at an advantage that no one would have the same exact outfit since at the benefit I did notice a lot of double ensembles which would be my worst nightmare. Sad I didn't get a photo of the back part since it dips into such a sexy deep low v but I'm happy the straps for the halter stayed up since this dress literally feels like it weighs a ton. Anyway, this event was something really dear to me since I've volunteered and served meals here several times for the past couple of years now and it's such a moving and humbling experience. If you've seen the movie The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith, this is the church it was based on. A lot of people attended this black-tie affair to raise funds for the programs that Glide Foundation provides and if you ever want to give back to the community this is a rewarding way to do so.
a mad tea party
inc dress, sam edelman shoes, liv boutique clutch
We celebrated Rachael's baby shower at Crown and Crumpet in Ghiradelli Square. This is a really cute tea room to gather your girls and host an event like this. I've been to tons of showers and this by far was the most chic and stylish one. We limited it to just two simple but really fun games- just enough for my attention span. The typical guess the size of your belly with a yarn measurement and the not so typical, preggers or porn- where you guess the facial expression, orgasm or giving birth.. haha. All in all it was a short, sweet and successful time and would love to attend something like this again soon.
