My love for Bacon

I flew into Miami last week and was lucky enough to spend some time with one of my oldest friends Aliz and meet her adorable dachshund, Bacon! 

It was love at first site. He was so cute and cuddly I wanted to take him home to play my doggies. 

The outfit I was rocking was the only outfit, I knew would be comfortable enough to fly in and would be okay when I got off the plane into the Florida heat.

Little Black Dress

Prior to leaving for my trip to Florida, I wanted one more dress to wear for passover, so I made a quick trip to my go-to H&M and I found the dress below!

It's so feminine, trendy and extremely versatile and I'd like to think Audrey Hepburn would have worn it.Well, maybe. I dressed it up for some religious services, but I could totally see myself wearing it with a pair of black, platform sandals and a bright colored necklace.

Venture to True Food Kitchen

While cleaning out my iPhone, I saw some photos that reminded of the amazing experience I had at Santa Monica's True Food Kitchen. During a celebratory lunch for a co-worker's birthday, I had, what I can honestly say, was one of the best food-experiences I've had since moving to LA.

I scoped out the menu beforehand and was instantly overwhelmed with all the amazing-ness, that their menu had to offer. Fortunately, a coworker and I decided to split two dishes, the Ahi Tuna Sliders and the Mediterranean Salad. I could NOT have been happier with our decision!

My favorite part of the two was definitely the Kale Salad and the flax-seed buns, both which came came with the sliders.

Check out the knife in my right hand, I mean business!

Channeling My Inner-School Girl

Happy Tuesday! I'm pretty busy today, but I thought I would do a quick post of my outfit.  I like to think of my outfit today as a "grown-up, school girl".

How cute are these bracelets? My friend Elyse introduced me to this website and I've decided I want all of them. They are so cute, great colors, look like they are really made well and are very trendy right now.
