i love love love this restaurant. the menu is constantly changing... it all depends on what the chefs bought at the market!

check it out

yummy tomato and basil bruschetta

tilapia with a guacamole and sweet corn aioli, served with roasted sweet potatoes

argentinian skirt stake with chimichurri sauce and assorted roasted veggies

so awkward, i was so tempted to lick the plate

and of course, you need a slice of ice box cake! this one is strawberry.

and he was the whole reason this night happened. hilarious.

wyoming

target collabos

i am always excited for upcoming collaborations with target. however, with anna sui and even rodarte... i always returned the dresses because i am just not satisfied. march 7th will be the jean paul gaultier launch and april 25th will be the zac posen launch. unfortunately, the prices for these collections are more expensive than the past. tear.

anyhoo i'm 100% sure that my shopping cart will be full nevertheless!

thank you for all the sweet comments and all those that follow. you guys truly make me day :)

coco

the miami airport is a complete headache. so, after i arrived back home, decided to check out my dvr. watched "coco chanel" that was featured on lifetime a week or so ago. [speaking of lifetime... i'm so excited project runway starts TOMORROW!!! ekk!] the main actress, barbora bobulova, is a complete doll, in a bad-ass independent sort of way.

and speaking of chanel... i'm still unsure about the temporary tattoo trend from s/s 2010, but if you can rock it... go for it!

this necklace looks so ethereal.

in other news: happy birthday patrick mcdreamy! ... i mean dempsey.

if you like it, then you should put a ring on it

still in wyoming with faulty internet. the weather is surprisingly refreshing, but i still have not been able to snap many pictures. at the moment, i'm on a huge ring fetish. here is what is on my current wishlist at shopbop:
