Granville Moore's: Mussels Monday

With my sister being mostly out of the road for work this month, it's been pretty lonely in my apartment. But today she was home (leaves again tomorrow, BOOOO!) and we decided to catch up at our favorite mussels spot, Granville Moore's for their mussels Monday's!

The bowls of mussels are $17 $12!!!

Wooed by Jason Wu for Target

After being less than impressed by the Missoni for Target collection, it's safe to say I'm absolutely obsessed with the Jason Wu for Target lookbook.

I'd wear every single one of those outfits.

What are your thoughts? Will you be ready to shop this February 5th?

Here's to the New Year...

Sarah Pinto planners

One of my New Year's resolutions is to get more organized. I know I say it every year, but this time it's different(?)!!! And to make sure I do it in style (and thanks to the recommendation from Liz from So Much to Smile About) I purchased this adorable planner!

It's the perfect size for my bag, features the much needed To Do list, and is a bright fun print, which makes it hard to lose.

2012, I've already scheduled you to be a great year!

Weekend Recap

It was a productive weekend I tell you!

I...

• went to Ikea to get the correct pieces to finally assemble my drawer.
• practically lived in my bird print shirt from Forever 21.
• cuddled with my wheezy dog.
• and stuffed myself with Good Stuff Eatery's burger and fries!

How was your weekend?

What's for dinner: Hot & Juicy!

After watching a Man v Food marathon over the holiday break, I was inspired to try as many of the restaurants showcased on the show. First on the list was Hot & Juicy, where they serve a variety of seafood served by the pound and in plastic bag! It's all sorts of class, I know. Oh, and did I also mention that you get a fancy bib?

Their seafood is steamed and seasoned with your choice of 1 of 4 flavors and varying spice levels. I chose the most popular seasoning of the "hot & juicy" and baby spice (spice up your life!) level. Yup. Baby. Spice. And before you go on and judge me, let me tell you that even the mild spice (a level above baby) is burn your lips off spicy and I can handle heat. Also highly recommended is to get corn and potato (an extra 75 cents) added to your bag.

Eating from a plastic bag never tasted so good.
