36 { blessings }

On January 18th, I turned 36. I had a great day with my husband, starting with an amazing breakfast at Shea's Cafe.

* outside of Shea's Cafe

* orange and cranberry juice and coffee

* cinnamon pecan pancakes

* spinach and feta omelet

After breakfast, I was taken to Renault Winery for a private wine tasting. Had to take home a bottle of the Chianti and Blueberry Champagne. Very nice.

Quick stop at the Cigar Boxx to enjoy cigars and port. Oh yes!

Ended the night at Borgata.  We went to Fornelletto for their Wine Down Wednesday.

* polished off those spicy shrimp and chicken parm sliders

* menu

* kobe beef slider

* espresso martini

I'm so blessed.  Thank you Lord for 36 wonderful years.

Taking Time { for us }

Me and the hubs spent some time in NY a couple weeks ago.  We love escaping there to spend some time together and experience life in the "big city".  Here's a few highlights.......

Stopped at LuLu and Me for crostinis and wine.  Courtesy of Gilt City who was offering a great deal there.

Stopped at Hudson Bar and Books for cigars.  Love the idea of the long wooden sticks and tealights to light your cigar.

We ended up at Mama's Food Shop for some home cookin'. This spot was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, so we had to check it out.

New York......I miss you already! :-)

Here's a special "Thank You" to one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Ms Kelly Framel.  I received my Maltese Spiderlily Ring and I'm in love with it.

Check out more of her amazing pieces here!

And her blog, The Glamourai!

Thanks, Kelly

I was just alittle too late!

I just got new glasses not that long ago, but I recently came across a great site called Warby Parker that sells vintage inspired frames with prescription lenses all for $95!

I'm in love with their site.  You have two different ways to decide which frames are best for you.  They have "virtual try-on", which allows you to upload your picture and try on any style.  Or they will let you pick out up to 5 different styles and have them shipped to your home (free shipping and return by the way), so you can see them up close.

Love it!

I'm starting a post called "Closet Peek".  This will just give me a reason to go in my closet and play "dress up"
