Summer Food Marathon

One of the (many)perks of having my family here is I get to enjoy unlimited good food and not feel guilty spending on it since it's upon their requests:) Vinny's @ Somerville: You have to try the salmon pasta! An insane amount of pasta for $20 that lasted 3 meals for me. The place is tiny and reservation is encouraged. Watch out for big, fat white cat that loiters around the place. Toro @ South End: Cozy tapas place near the city. ALWAYS crowded after 5pm. They open at 5:30pm. Hahah. Recommended to go during Sunday brunch. You are still able to get seats outside. Perfect way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon.:) Pastiche @ Providence: It's been more than 5 times that I drove an hour away just the have my dose of their fruit tart. Tried their carrot cake for the first time and loved it. Best carrot cake ever!
Toro @ South End (again): Told you this place was good! You HAVE to order the corn with lime and aged cheese. Amazing stuff.

Hot color of the season: Orange

Wow it's been ages since I was able to update FF. With summer classes, work, moving out, and my family being here, it's pretty much impossible to blog. But getting sick makes me bored and antsy so here I am blogging when I really should be resting...

I recently purchased this Chloe orange tote for my work "briefcase" but surprisingly have been working well with my summer outfits. Here's some pics: Urban Outfitters wayfarer + Forever 21 necklace + Random Blue tunic + American Apparel leggings + Tory Burch Sandals Uniqlo Fedora + Forever 21 and Adam tanks + Earnest Sewn Skinny jeans + Club Monaco Cardigan + Havaiannas flip flops + Forever 21 necklaceUrban Outfitters Wayfarer + Etro Scarf + Adam white tee + Gretta Grey Cardigan + American Eagle Boyfriend jeans + Tory Burch Gold Flats

Daily Catch

Daily Catch by the waterfront offers a spectacular view of the city of Boston. It is also the main backdrop scene in which The Game Plan was featured in. How can you not love the city? Oh! And the food there is pretty good too.

woMEN's wear

My obsession with men's wear has officially reached its peak. I'm in search of some khaki colored pants to cuff up and wear with high heels and a tee. But until I find the perfect one, I fell in love with my brother's striped blue shirt. Brother's shirt + Arden B skirt + Forever 21 double-wrap studded belt + Faux Python Flats from Payless + Balenciaga Grey bag

I <3 NY

Perfect company, wonderful food, and amazing shopping. I can't ask for more for the weekend get away trip to meet my mom and brother who had just come from Singapore.

Day 2

My brother, StanlEy is quite into fashion himself. With a little help from me, I have to say he looks pretty good:)

My mum has been an inspiration to me in all and every way. Not to mention in fashion. Coincidentally, we ended up dressing the same this day. Black jeans, Chanel Flats, oversized bag, pearl necklaces, oversized cardigans, and aviators. How cute is she?!

We ate in Fig & Olives for lunch and the lunch Prix Fixe was amazing.

Tuna carpaccio drizzled with their signature olive oil

Simple yet tasty bowl of pesto pasta with truffles

We then had dinner at Morimoto. Owned my Iron Chef Japan.

Order of yellow fin fish. Amazinggg. Worth every penny. The decor of the place is also one of the creative I've ever been at. Sorry I don't have pictures of it!

Day 3

Started out with lunch at Avra in midtown. Amazing seafood especially the shrimp appetizer!

Outfit: Forever 21 ruffled top + Blank black jeans + Chanel flats + Givenchy Nitingale bag + RayBan aviators + Cartier watch

Moving out soon...

I LOVE my apartment now. Especially my room. Actually especially my walk in closet. :) In a few weeks it's time to move out to a smaller place cos my roomate's leaving. So I thought I'd start taking pics of my stuff before they get packed away in boxes and stuffed in my new small loft. (Although I love the place!)

Biking with Ms. Chanel + Mr. Balenciaga

So we decided to be ambitious and bike up and down hilly pavements and scary traffic to get to the most gorgeous park I've ever seen. We found ourselves 4 hours later exhausted and sprawled across the green grass with the new allure and some lemonade. Tiresome yes. Worth it? Every second of it!

It's further and way more challenging than it looks!

Yes, this was my biking outfit. F21 silk tank + H&M faded denim leggings + Flats from payless + Balenciaga with gold studs bag + Marc Jacobs Aviators

Sophia with her awesome bike and perfectly chic outfit + Chanels.:)

I had fun Soph! Next trip, 13 miles! HAHAHAHA

The Day I Cycled for 6 hours

At the end of the biking trip,I didn't feel any pain. But I probably just jinxed it cos the next morning I felt like just staying in bed the whole day. It was worth it though. The sun was gorgeous, the air fresh and allergy free. What an accomplishment I had. Can't wait to go for another biking trip next week with Soph. I'll try to dress more cute. Kinda hard since my bike is so sporty. Hmmm...Oooh! Surprisingly there's quite a few blogs that feature cyclers and looking chic while doing so. I can't pull that off quiteyet until I get a nice girly bike, but this site is worth checking out: http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/ so cute.

I hate the helmet urgh.

The reservoir at Chestnut Hill

10 Tables

Ten Tables at Jamaica Plain, MA, is the coziest little restaurant I've ever been to. Literally, the restaurant only consists of 10 tables. Although making sudden movements during dinner was not advisable; the food was wonderful. However, the menu is pretty limited. But for any foodies out there, this place is worth a try. RESERVATION IS A MUST!

Compliments from the chef. A tasty spoonful of delight
Seared baby octopus as appetizer
Hake fish. Sauteed and complimented with parsley flavored crumbs. Amazingly fresh and the dressing was perfect with the fish.

Thai Basil ice cream with Chocolate Terrine. Loved the chocolate but not a big fan of the basil ice cream. Weird combo. The basil was way too strong.

My outfit tonight rotated around my 2 key items. The amazing rhinestone necklace that a dear friend gave me ( Thank you again Sophia! I love it!) and my wonderful lace up Stuart Weitzman. Sophia made this by combining 3 different necklaces together. The pins held it together and the ribbons was a beautiful, elegant touch.

I just realized these are probably my highest heels. 5 inches. ( aside from my other 5inches Loubies) Surprisingly though, it's also one of my most comfortable heels EVER.
