Yum.

Just a quick little gush about last night...
I quite possible have the most amazing boyfriend in the world. I thought the dinner was amazing, but even more so was the adorable card and gorgeous diamond necklace... love you.

Le Tartuffe was DELICIOUS! I tried foie gras for the second time in my life, and was completely blown away by the scallop and lamb dishes.

Dessert of dark chocolate and pecan pie and strawberry crumble with olive oil infused ice cream (top),
and a dulce de leche creme brule with banana bread (bottom). Yum.

Oh, and I wore things the other day.

Loving Love

Couldn't help but get a little girly and giddy when I threw on this skirt!

I'm a sucker for days that celebrate love. Valentines, Mother's Day, Anniversaries...
We're heading to Le Tartuffe tonight for dinner. The site and menu look amazing, so I'm incredibly excited. I'll let you know how it goes :)

Do you have anything planned for your loved ones this evening?

Revamp?

NYFW is upon us and I can't help but be slightly jealous of all the fabulous New York bloggers who get to attend! I love my small intimate readership and the fact that I feel like I know a little something about all of you... but sometimes we all get a little green-eyed, no?

ANYWAY.

If you haven't noticed the new header/sidebar, I'm trying to revamp a little around here. Feedback is VERY much appreciated. I'm liking my header, but not so much the buttons... And I'm wondering if I should keep it all a little more minimalistic?

Hmmm.

Back Again

"Hell, I need you. I’m a mess without you. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you, I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss your scent; I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together."
- Champ Kind, Anchorman

Pretty much sums up my feeling lately towards the blogosphere.

I know I've been MIA for a while. I tend to manage stress poorly, have mini break downs, go into hiding, and resurface much later a healthier, saner, person. Thanks for sticking around.

So I'm back! And with a vengeance!
... or at least a new outfit.

I was fortunate enough to get some gift certificates for Christmas (oh god, that seems like eons ago now!) and managed to snag a few new items. I'm still technically playing by the rules... I just have more inventory to go through now!

Feeling "Blah"

Just popping in to say I'll be MIA for a while.
To keep a long story short, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and depression when I was 14, and while I'm generally good at controlling my panic attacks, about once a year I have a full on melt down.
I'm currently in the midst of one now, and they usually last a week or two.
I haven't disappeared, I just need some "me" time.

If anyone has had similar experiences and knows of coping mechanisms & what not, I'd love to hear them.
