Just a few indulgences...
- Starting off the new year with Top Pot doughnuts - this time it was cinammon sugar blueberry
- a latte and doughnut at my all time favorite Espresso Vivace (okay I'm cheating this was the day after Christmas, hence the Christmas sprinkles) :)
- We've frequented the Skillet Food Truck and it is SO good, so when they opened up a restaurant - Skillet Diner - we had to try it out. I had the Fried Chicken Sammy - fennel seed crust, pickled and charred jalapeño aioli, kale, potato bread. It was amazing. Definitely will be back.
- Marination Station is also a restaurant of a food truck - Marination Mobile - and I tried a Kalbi taco and a spicy pork slider. Both YUMMY and cheap. Double thumbs up, especially for having Hawaiian Sun drinks!
- Hubs' beer and my wine served in Mason Jars at Skillet Diner. The next week I went out and bought those same mason jars and now drink my wine out of them at home. HAHA! But seriously, I've shattered so many wine glasses, this is a fabulous alternative. Thanks for the idea Skillet!
- My husband and me on our way to lunch with my brother and his girlfriend. It was my brother's birthday and we were supposed to go home and see my parents that day but didn't end up making it because of the snow so we took my brother out to a birthday lunch instead. (see below)
- Savvy in her snow jacket. It's Juicy Couture and from a few years ago.
- Snow outfit - lots of layers. Also, this is what I do when husband shops at Niketown. I take photos of my outfit. LOL
- We went to Brave Horse Tavern, one of Tom Douglas' new restaurants. I've been there several times and everything has been good, however quite expensive and kind of not really worth it? I think I prefer Palace Kitchen for the same prices. Like those Chicken Nuggets were good (not amazing but good) and they were $9 for 6 nuggets. The sweet potato fries were awesome though but I love sweet potato fries.
- Got some new shoes and workout clothes, because hey a girl likes to look good even while sweating it out! Wearing Nike LunarGlides , Lululemon Racerback Top, Nike running capris and Lululemon headband. (ha! I'm very partial to these two brands)
- I usually do not take pictures of myself while working out but I really loved my new shoes that my husband bought for me so wanted to take a picture to show him. His work schedule is crazy these days so he and I don't get to go to the gym together as often as we did before.
- I hadn't seen any reviews of the Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara but was intrigued by the display. I tried it when I got home and OMG this fiber mascara really works! Look how much longer it made my eyelashes! This was after 2 coats of mascara. It looks like I'm wearing false lashes right? I can't stop raving about this mascara, I love it!
- I've been using the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow as a shadow base and it works great. Makes your eyeshadow last all day. I already have two Revlon Lip Butters that I've been using like crazy so also picked up "Berry Smoothie" and "Peach Sorbet". I'm wearing the Berry Smoothie in the photo above.
- The Modern Three Stone Statement Ring matched my silvery nails
- Our Love and Heart Rose Gold Necklace goes really well with the Trio Bangle
- A stack of our Gold Double Braided Cuff, Hammered Bangles (now comes in a set of 2!) and Glam bracelet (sold out)
- One of our newest designs, the Gold Luxe Link Necklace with my J Crew top.
- Wearing another t+j Designs headband (you can see another one in this lookbook) and the Mother of Pearl Rose Gold Necklace that you can win in our giveaway, just head on over to our facebook for the details!
- I attached a hair bow to our Gold Hammered Link Long Necklace and loved that it gave it an entirely different look! It went from being just an accessory to being the thing that everyone noticed!
- I got my husband's birthday gift at Mr. Porter and it came beautifully packaged, just like Net-a-Porter (their women's site) orders. They even personalized it with a handwritten note with his name on it!
- The Foley and Corinna Disco City bag that you saw in this lookbook. It's sooo cute and I love that it's pink suede. Something I would never get in a bigger bag but totally works in this size.
- New Miu Miu pumps that were an ebay score! I'm not very good with ebay, I watch auctions but then never remember to bid on them or if I bid on them, I never watch it closely enough to win them. BUT I scored these on an amazing "buy it now" price so was super excited as I lusted after these when they came out a few seasons ago and thought that I'd never be able to get them. They have stitching on the platform as well as on the back on the heel. Will have better pics soon!
- The purple Prada booties that I mentioned in Monday's post that I somehow scored on sale at Nordstrom this year even though I got my black ones last year. I swear they just had this one pair sitting in the back and someone found it and put it on the sale rack for me to find!
Well, there was my January! I can't believe we are already one month into 2012!
