OUTFIT: BLACK & WHITE

It's currently exam season. (what am I doing on here?) I decided to wear this to my exam the other day. Who knew my rushed outfit turned into something I'm lovin' right now? Inspired by the New Yorkers, I finally purchased a pair of Nike's. I've been on a hunt for two months now looking for the perfect pair, which still hasn't been found. These will do for now, purchased for $55 at JC Penny, not a bad deal considering I was going to purchase a similar pair for $110. Black and White is definitely one of the best combo's, you can't go wrong with it! Not only does my cap keep my bangs in place, these runners are also super comfy! You can always be stylish and be comfy at the same time while studying. 

Enjoy !

Toronto Bridal Show // 11.04.14

This year I had the opportunity to attend the annual Toronto Bridal Show located at Direct Energy Centre with my older sister! I was expecting a larger venue and a bigger variety of booths, but they all seemed to be along the lines of DJ promotion, photographers and make-up artists. (Which is expected, I guess?) Overall, I had an enjoyable time and for the first time it made me think about my own wedding (which is far from now, haha). This is what I wore; (The weather is finally looking pleasant!)

OP: TRANSITION

Sorry guys, work and school will forever destroy my time, and if not, I'd like to spend majority of my free days with friends (: Fall is here but I'm still in the posy-summer mood. And since I don't want to change my entire closet (I'm not made of money) I decided to purchase a few pieces that will help me transition to that 'fall look' 

Sweater weather is the best kind of weather! Lately I've been purchasing a lot of sweaters (which isn't good in the long run) but majority of them will either be thrifted or some H&M! Here's what I've collected so far!

REVIEW: Portobello Restaurant & Bar

I went out for dinner with a friend at Portobello Restaurant & Bar a few weeks back since there was a Groupon for it! When I first saw the restaurant outside I wasn't pleased with the display, however the inside interior makes up for it! 

- 995 Bay Street - Toronto - 

There was only one person serving food that evening and it was the chief, so I assume this small restaurant is independently owned? The server was very nice and I can tell her took his time to create and serve our food. 

Salmon with fruits as the first course meal. The proportions were small but suitable since we were eating a 4 course meal. 

 2nd course meal: Soup of the day

To be honest, the soup didn't look very appetizing but it ended being one of my favourite meals! It was very creamy and it had just the right blend!

 3rd course meal: I ended up picking the "Lobster Ravioli stuffed with Lobster in rose sauce" (on the left) 

The proportions were WAY to small, and I was still hungry after. I wasn't satisfied with the main dish! Although it was delicious, I couldn't taste the lobster in the ravioli and there was only around 5-8 stuffed ravioli. 

 Last but not least; the 4th course was dessert. We both ordered Tiramisu. The texture was too wet for my liking, I could tell it was made days before and left in the freezer and deforested which resulted in the wet texture. 

Overall, I don't think I would go back to this restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and the server was amazing. But the proportions were not as good as I thought it'd be. 

Enjoy :) ! 

BROWNSTONE BISTRO && CHATIME

This was my last time meeting up with my best friend before she leaves  the country for a very long time. ): I let her choose the restaurant for our lunch date and we both settled for Brownstone Bistro: Bar & Grill. - 603 Yonge Street - The restaurant isn't too far from Bay Station, we walked from Eaton Centre to get to the restaurant. 

 I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The waitress was very nice since we were waiting on another friend, luckily it wasn't busy. The design is very simple and if the lights were dimmed, it'd have a very nice romantic feel. 

 The menu consisted mostly of sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, and greens. I'm not a fan of ordering sandwiches at restaurants, so I settled for pasta. 

 I ordered: Fresh Linguini with salmon, tomato, basil, and capers in a while win al olio 

Overal the pasta was alright. It was too greasy and the closer you got to finishing the plate the more salty it was, adding salmon did help make it less salty. The portions were perfect and I did enjoy the salmon chunks the most. 

 I've had a few friends hype Chatime, a bubble tea store before, so I decided to finally try it! It really is delicious but maybe too sweet. I ordered matcha red bean bubble tea.

The store is really small and but it was very busy!

Enjoy! :) Summer is almost over !
