A Cream Dress and Dinner

Cream lace dress : h&m
Black Cardigan : UO

First of all, happy birthday to my dear sister ! She's already 20 ! Time sure does fly. This week it was Dine Downtown Restaurant Week and many local chefs put together three course dinner menus for $30 per person. We've never experienced the downtown restaurants or the type of the places that serve three course meals, so this was just the perfect thing to try for my sister's 20th !

There was a list of participating restaurants and we spent quite some time looking over their menus. We decided on going to Paragary's and I'm glad we did.

We were a bit overly dressed compared to everyone else, but it was whatever. Dressing up is fun anyways, right ? haha


For starters, I chose the Citrus Cured Salmon with mandarins, avocado, and pickled beets. The salmon was so good ! How can I eat any other salmon now that I know stuff like this exists ?? I must try making cured salmon later. Everyone else got the salad, which didn't look that pretty, but I thought it was tasty as well.



Sister's scallops 
Brother's duck leg

For the main course I got the Grilled Hanger Steak with a potato celery root gratin, chard and black truffle jus.  I. Just. Loved this. It was so nicely portioned and everything just had so much flavor. There were two little slices of some mushroom on the steak and I was so sad there wasn't more! I just loved everything.

Is this how rich people eat all the time ? I am so jealous haha






John and I took a big spoonful of the pots de creme haha 

For desert they had two options, an apple galette and a chocolate espresso pots de crème. The apple thing was alright. I didn't eat much of it, but I nearly ate a whole ramekin of the chocolate pots de creme ! It was rich, chocolatey, airy, and soft. Our waiter suggested we share, since people usually never finished the chocolate dessert, but I ended up eating almost a whole thing haha.



We went home after and enjoyed some cake with friends. It was such a perfect dinner and I wish I could say the same about my day. Someone stole my clothes from my locker today but I also played a few good games of tennis with my friends before dinner. Why would someone want to steal someone's sweaty dirty p.e clothes ? cmooonnn. just a few more months and then I'm done with p.e   -  3 -


I hope you had a nice three day weekend !

My new baby



Isn't he just adorable ? My friend helped me buy him at an anime convention ((: his bow sewing broke T__T I fixed it just now though so it's okay. My friend was sending me pictures of all the different arpkassos and when I decided on one he said, " Noo you can't ! I'm getting that one ! " hahaha So I chose this guy next.

My brother and sister and I just started insanity a few days ago! My calves are so sore ! x___x I also started using a face roller. Maybe I'll review that later.

OOTD and What I've been up to

Black Skirt : F21

Combat boots: Pacsun
 Hello Hello ! I've been meaning to write a blogpost earlier but I was waiting on my brother to give me pictures from his camera.

I really like this button up. It's soft and has cutout sleeves ( even though I don't like showing my arms ). Very cute. I love the color too. My brother and sister and I went out to eat one night when my mum wasn't home. When we were done eating my brother just asked if I wanted to take an OOTD and I was like sure.

We then spent about 3 minutes taking pictures and I didn't really like how most of them came out haha


I also picked up some Adventure Time Comics from my local comic book store ! They're all so adoorabllllyy cute. Hopefully I'll go there again after school or something to buy more :)





 This is Bird Bro ! We found him ( or her ) Sitting in our backyard close to the door. I thought he was dead at first cause he wasn't moving at all. Not even when my dog went near him.

When I told my mom she went outside and poked at it and then he moved a bit. So she just picked him up and brought him inside. I was just like " MOOM HES A BIRD HES SUPPOSED TO BE FREEE ! " she thought he was pretty and wanted to keep him. While he was sitting in this box on the table he jumped out and tried to get away and then my dog got to him !

He pulled out almost all of his tail feathers and he was left with just two :((  Birds can't fly without their tail feathers !

The next day we ended up letting him go. Although we should have kept him till he was better. I regret it now. Before he left we bonded a bit though and he was perched on my hand and I fed him some berries.

He was such a cutie pie.
