CUFFED

GILES & BROTHER RAILROAD SPIKE CUFF

So I saw this beauty about a month ago on Saks

of course  since all I can afford to do is window shop...

It slipped away but it has reappeared on Bloomingdales , Shop Bop and Anthropolgie

or you can head over to the horses mouth Giles & Brother

INSPIRED: SUJEAN RIM

Quite a while ago... I was "wish" shopping in one of my Tiffany and Co. catalogs and I remember being so in love with the illustrations in the campaign... Today as I was struggling to design an invitation... I thought back to those illustrations and of course I hit up google....

Needless to say I've been inspired!

THE REVIEW: TAZIKI'S

OUTDOOR PATIO

THE RESTAURANT: I pass this location (Downtown Birmingham) almost everyday on my way home from work and I finally got the opportunity to try it out! Let me just say that the aroma of amazing food hits your nose before you even exit your car!

THE MENU: A pretty simple menu with a little bit of something for everyone at very reasonable prices!

 FRIDAY SPECIAL : CHICKEN PENNE 

THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE: The cashier was very knowledgeable about the menu and I was very happy with my choice! My party sat outside on the patio and almost received another tables food a couple of times and the food looked so good we almost accepted! With Fall in the air the patio was perfect for dinner in the city! The restaurants super chic design had me taking decorators notes! (I love the long dinner table) perfect for a celebratory gathering! 

 CHICKEN AND POTATOES

THE  VERDICT:  From the amazingly well seasoned/ proportions of food to the friendly wait staff and city chic ambiance TAZIKI'S is definitely a winner in my book! I can't wait to return with more friends!

MONTHS IN REVIEW

 ASL CLASS

 EMAGINE: OFFICE PROGRESS

 ALABAMA MUSEUM OF ART: DRAWING CLASS

 #INTHECITY: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA @ RAILROAD PARK

OLD AND NEW FRIENDS

So... I've been absent from the blog for a minute but get ready for a bunch of updates! My camera was giving me issues with uploading all of the photos I have been taking for you guys! So a quick run down of what I have been up to.... I finally signed up for that American Sign Language class and it's way more intense than I thought it would be.... I got a desk for my office and I call it Josephine (actually World Market named her that) but I love working in my office ...  Drawing Class.... taught by one of my former high school classmates (we actually were in art club together) and hosted by a new found friend and museum education coordinator.... It's super cool to revisit drawing 101...  #inthecity... I love living in the city and today actually marks my one year anniversary of being a condo owner... my first trip to Railroad park was to see one of my favorite movies The Devil Wears Prada... did I mention I love my #newandoldfriendsinthecity! 

The Review: GiGi's Cupcakes

SECOND IMPRESSIONS: So I finally got a chance to actually visit the Tuscaloosa, GiGi's store... Super Cute! They didn't have the wedding cake that I wanted but they had a pretty cupcake with a crown! #PRINCESS  We went pretty late in the evening so we were limited in choices but I can't wait to visit yet again! My summer guilty pleasure was definitely CUPCAKES!

MAKE UP FOR EVER : No. 4

SEPHORA: MY SUPPLIER 

ICEBOX: MOISTURE FROM THE FRIDGE

I'm not  a makeup diva but I discovered this Make Up Forever Palette - No 4 around a year ago and I really can't live without it... but ... it doesn't come cheap so I figured to beat the heat that melted my previous palette I'm storing this one in the fridge! You can check out the palette here on Sephora.com!
