OOTD - Casual Friday, Feelin' Hippie

Finally, my midterm is done! I can finally blog :) Sorry again for the lack of post, I can't do anything when I am stress except for eating and shopping, they go hand in hand. Seriously, every time I am stress 3 things never fail to happen:

1. Break out like crazy - check
2. Eat like crazy. All of a sudden I eat everything, even if I am not hungry. My conclusion is that its a form of procrastination. 
3. Shop!Shop! Shop! Enough said. The shopping urges just come out of nowhere! 

I have been obsessed with the hippie look lately, and you will probably find me wearing this headband thing a lot. I just love it. It gives the perfect touch to an outfit, if you want to give your outfit a hippie touch that is.

Shirt: H&M, 

Shorts: Abercrombie

Bag: Classic Coach, vintage in hunter green

Wedges: Nine West

Shades: GAP

Accessories: Winners, H&M, Clare's for the headband.

Casa Mendoza

Sorry for the lack of post. Been quite busy lately with taking a summer class and midterms fast approaching.

Monday was a gorgeous patio day. We decided to hit up a patio by Lakeshore, Casa Mendoza, an Argentinian cuisine. According to my bf, I have a thing for restaurant that looks like houses, which Casa Mendoza was, hence the name. I do love these kind of restaurant, and Casa Mendoza's decor is beautiful. It feels like you are transformed to another country (Argentina). I love the decor and the patio has a great view of the city. The service was good  and staff are friendly. Our drinks, appetizers and antipasto arrived perfectly on time. We waited for our entree for a bit longer than necessary, but we never had an empty glass before it was refilled.  The food however, I  didn't love too much. The bread was terribly hard and butter frozen. I would only come back here for drinks.

Look closely, you can see a pic of my bf and I from ages ago.

We had the Empanadas as appetizers, described as a homemade flaky meat pie stuffed seasoned beef, olives and chopped egg. I must say that the texture of these empanadas was great. It was nice and flaky. It was missing a kick however that even the salsa on the side couldn't add. 

For my entree, I decided to get the Fettuccine Lobster Alfredo. I didn't love it. I thought that it was too saucy, and there was not a lot of lobster. I don't think that it was worth the $20 price tag.  I only finish half of it and I didn't bother taking the rest home. My bf got the pepper steak at medium. He said that it lacks flavour and there was too much pepper sitting on top. The best part of our whole meal was the potato that came with his steak.

OOTD - Polka Dot Shorts

It is finally summer in Toronto and I can finally stop complaining about the weather. Today, I finally got a chance to drop by at the Design Exchange to view Princess Diana's dress collection. The fourteen dresses has traveled around the world and its final stop is in Toronto before being auctioned off. Princess Diana had an amazing style and she is a true fashion icon. It felt surreal being able to see her dresses in person.

I will post the pictures later since it is quite a bit of photos. In the meantime, here is what I wore today.

Tank and Shorts: Forever 21

Bag and Shoes: Coach  (seen here)

Belt and Necklace: Vintage (thrifted)

Shades: GAP

Here is a sneak peek of one of Princess Diana's beautiful dress.

After staying at the gallery longer than necessary ( I didn't want to leave) we were very hungry and decided to hit up Woo Buffet Restaurant and Lounge at Yonge and Dundas. I would describe it as a bit more upscale than your typical buffet since the decor is modern and the view of the city is great. The selection of food was pretty good, however some of the dishes were not warm enough, and others taste bland. There are however, enough food that I like. Service is excellent as waitstaff are very attentive. The only thing that I was peeved at was the patio was not ready when we got in at around 5:20. Ten minutes after we were seated, of course the patio opened. 

First serving. I loved the shrimp and sweet potato tempura. 

I could never eat more than  two plates even when I am very hungry. Although it looks like a lot of food I don't actually eat all of them, although I try to since I hate wasting food. Buffets tend to make money off of me since I eat less than I should.

Desserts are the best part. I skip the fruits and ice cream and go straight to the cakes and pastries. I always save room for them :)

Screw diet, food is my first love!

Fabulous Find - Coach Wedge Sandal

                                                         

Shopping at Winners (similar to TJ Maxx/Marshalls) can be overwhelming for some people. Some people doesn't include me :) I absolutely love the thrill of the find. I love sorting through the racks of garments in the hopes of finding a treasure. One Monday afternoon, I found this fabulous wooden, T-strap sandal from Coach. There was no hesitation, I had to buy it. My shoe size (sz 5) is very hard to shop for. Often times, shoes that I love simply don't come in my size, and sometimes when they do the size is still a bit too big and not a perfect fit. It's frustrating to say the least. This one however, was made for me! It was absolute perfection, my feet were in shoe heaven. They are very comfortable and light. I cannot wait to wear these in the summer time. Please come soon. 

Also pictured is an orange statement piece necklace I found at a flea market. 

What are your fabulous finds?
