what's cookin'

my Rebecca Minkoff morning after clutch.

it was such a beautiful day.  finally some nice warm, sunny weather.

Theory romper, misc. rings, unknown necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Michael Kors watch, Cynthia Vincent for Target wedges.

love love looove these shoes.  so comfortable.  i walked around in them a good portion of the day, and never once had to complain that my feet hurt.

delicious things to come!

just your classic vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting.  never disappointing.

Cynthia Vincent for Target

i would like to thank my wonderful friend Alyssa for being compulsive enough to drive 40 minutes to the next closest Target to pick these up for me, and pair for herself of course.  i'm a lucky girl, because Cynthia Vincent's line for Target sold out immediately online, and is basically nonexistent in Target stores.

for $29.99, i can't get over how beautiful they are.  just trust me, wait until you see them on.  well done Cynthia, well done.

it takes real talent to be able to design a pair of wedges under $30 when most Cynthia Vincent shoes are $300 or more.

the top restaurant

one word.  delicious.

yes, and many more good times to come.  i plan to eat here frequently.

cute little lobster pager they give you to let you know when your table is ready.

corn nuggets.  fried ooey gooey goodness, with a side of creamy garlic for dipping.

southwestern chicken sandwich with chicken, pepperjack cheese, bacon, peppers, spicy mustard, peppers, and other good things i can't remember.  notice the cheese oozing out the one end.  with a side of sweet potato fries.  mmm.

the majority of desserts were sold out, so we opted for the vegan chocolate cake.  i don't plan on becoming vegan any time soon, or ever really.  but trust me, this chocolate cake was delicious.  it was moist and dense, and the frosting was the perfect sweetness and very chocolatey.  i would eat this again in a second.

Lucky Brand t-shirt, Silence + Noise blazer, Hudson jeans, unknown necklace, Lucky Brand bracelet, Calvin Klein platforms, and Tory Burch bag.

i've made note to take photos before the sun goes down.  nighttime is not the right time for such photos.

the magical world of fashion

loving Ulrich Schroder's interpretation of the world's leading fashion designers as Disney characters in Elle Spain's April issue.  here are a few of my favorites.

Karl Lagerfeld.

Sonia and Nathalie Rykiel.

John Galliano.

makes me want to break down and buy Chanel flats, and then walk around Magic Kingdom all day wearing them.  all the while eating Mickey Bars.

aluminum or plastic?

i bought my first SIGG bottle about two years ago in an attempt to be more "green".  you know, to do my part to cut down on plastic water bottle consumption.  however, i now have a new reason to love these bottles.  it has just recently come to my attention there's  another, greater benefit of using a SIGG aluminum bottle, or any other BPA-free bottle for that matter.



the hazardous bisphenol A, or BPA, is used primarily to make plastic, and has been linked to negative health effects such as obesity, neurological issues, and cancer.  BPA can leach into the water you drink when your plastic water bottle is exposed to heat or to harsh detergents and hot water.  so if you leave a plastic water bottle in your car on a hot summer day, do not drink out of it.  if you wash a water bottle on the lower rack of your dishwasher, do not drink out of it.  capeesh?

when my SIGG bottle that had been with me just about every day for two years mysteriously "vanished" (it has a unique dent on the side, and if i see you drinking out of it there will be severe consequences), i knew i had to suck it up and buy a new one.  although these bottles are a bit pricey at about $20 a pop, you're doing your part to help out the environment, protecting yourself against BPA exposure, and in the long run saving a lot of money that would have been spent on those ridiculously heavy cases of water.  plus, they're extremely durable, and come in a ton of different colors and designs.  i chose the plain white because i liked the sleekness and simplicity of it.

so let me ask again, aluminum or plastic?

what's a pizookie?

a warm, doughy peanut butter cookie with two scoops of chocolate ice cream.

did i share?  of course not.
