White Lace and Ruffles

tank: edc by espirit | cardigan, belt: j.crew | shorts: f21 | flip flops: martin & osa

Darn! I missed the deadline for Everybody Everwear - Lace. Anyway, here is my outfit that I would've posted on it. I got this tank from edc by espirit in China 5 years ago and I haven't wore this tank in a long time. I really like the look of lace hems because it makes the shirt more feminine yet it is not overpowering.

I went to a Thai restaurant in town this week for Restaurant Week and it was decent. I got Thai iced tea (delicious!), spring roll, and drunken noodles  (a little bit too much salt and too spicy for me). Overall I would give it a three star because the price was pretty good ($8 for everything). 

I may go back to this place just for their drinks...haha. 

Rose Garden and Island Coconut

Floral Tank: Abercrombie
Cardigan: Target
Shorts: Aeropostale

I really want to try some of this Snoqualmie Ice Cream, maybe I'll stop by Whole Foods sometime next week and pick up one. All of their flavors look delicious, especially these four: Creme Fraiche, Green Tea, Island Coconut, Mukilteo Mudd! Yummmmm....Ahh! I really want some of this ice cream now. It would be extra delicious in this hot weather. :)

good eats (or not) from weekend & it's already monday?

saturday night had dinner at california pizza kitchen. we had baby clam linguini with lemon cream sauce and vegetarian w/ japanese eggplant pizza. they were actually surprisingly good. i especially liked the sauce they used for the pasta.

i tried (for the first time) to make pancakes from scratch sunday morning. never again. it didn't taste bad...but the only parts of breakfast that were presentable were things i didn't have to make myself - bob evans sausage + philsbury biscuits...yum. i can't flip the batter and i'm not sure if its because of the ingredients i had to substitute in the recipe.

what i wore today:

tank: meijer, cardigan: j.crew, jeans: h&m, boots: steve madden

i had no idea my hair looked so brown in the sun...

this morning, i realized i don't really need more nautical themed clothes, so disregard the previous post, because i have more than enough navy/white/striped pieces in my closet. i changed my outfit twice today, the first one was more summery/nautical and i feel like i need to be on a white sailboat in the Caribbean or going to the beach to wear it. and.....since i am not doing either of those, i had to change into something more uncreative/normal looking

i still want a floral printed scarf though. i have nothing floral (okay, maybe one, but its more fall than spring)

Today I went to farmer's market with my friend. We both woke up late but still made it to the market before brunch time. It was my first time going to farmer's market even though I've lived in Ann Arbor for 10 years. Crazy, huh.

It definitely felt like fall today: the temperature, color of the leaves. I love it. The air was so fresh and crisp.

I bought two stems of sunflower. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY! My friend told me I totally acted like a 10 year old when I got the flowers. lol. I love the sunflower's color palette. We were walking around carrying the flowers and almost everyone who saw us smiled. How can you not, right? I wanted to buy the tomatoes that were in the little red baskets (see above), but I just wanted the basket itself, not the content. Because the tomatoes will probably go bad before I even begin to eat them. The woman would not sell me the basket though :( She even said the basket was worth more than the tomato.

We had lunch at Sparrow Market. I got the ABLT (Okay, they totally lied on the menu. I thought avocado was going to be actual slices of avocado...but no, it's just a spread :( )

I also bought a bottle of EVVO seasoned with fresh basil. I am going to make some delicious pasta with that later. :) So excited.

No outfit picture today :( But here are some photos I took throughout the day.

1. Lunch I made for myself - it was yummy
2. $1 sunflower plant from Target!! I "planted" it a weekish ago? I'm so happy that it didn't die  - I was never able to keep any plant alive...because I usually forget to water them but this one doesnt seem to need to be watered everyday, so that's good. I need to get bigger pot + soil to transfer it.
3. A pen I've had since elementary school...? It is scented :) If you can't tell, I had to tape the middle shut because it is broken.
4. Dinner - spicy pho. almost as good as my lunch. lol.

I have a thing for noodles.

P.S. I need to get moisturizer. I hope Sephora will have the Clinique Moisture Surge as a Skincare Challenge reward sooooon. Ugh. Should've gotten it when they had it. -.-
