Thank goodness I have electricity! I'm safe thanks for all your concerns during Hurricane Sandy. It's been
awhile since I posted a Wishful Wednesday. The weather in New York has dropped in temperature therefore
it's time to bust out the winter coats. Here's a few jackets that I adore but I know I can't afford but they are
 definitely great inspiration/reference.

Calm Before The Storm

Trench: DKNY Skirt + Belt: Forever21 Plaid Shirt: UO Chambray: H&M Boots: Hunter
Glasses: Warby Parker



As some of you may know there is a hurricane heading to New York. It's ironic I left New Orleans
 7 years ago to avoid all this hurricane business. After Hurricane Katrina's devastation I was ready 
to move away and now I'm force to prepare for this megastorm. Though this huge storm is coming ..
in good ole new york fashion .. people were still out and about doing their thing. I had a friend's
birthday celebration at Hill Country and this is by far my favorite BBQ joint in New York. The
food is amazing but I think the reason why I like it so much is that it reminds me of home. Everyone 
knows the south cooks the best BBQ and Hill Country will not disappoint you. The best thing in the
menu is the moist briskets. Words cannot describe how freaking delicious it is. Just go try it if you 
happen to be in the new york area. 

Wish me luck. Hope our electricity doesn't go out.

Let him eat cake

Dress: H&M Blazer: Husband's old high school blazer Necklaces: Forever21 + Charlotte Russe
Heels: Zara Purse: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC


Just a quick outfit post. It's the hubster's big 3-0 birthday and I took him out last night and celebrated
 at Club A Steakhouse. I wish I took food pics from the restaurant but I just wanted to enjoy the 
moment with my husband. If you happen to be in the New York area please check out this amazing 
restaurant. If your a steak enthusiast, like my husband, this place will not disappoint you. The owner 
and staff made our dining experience memorable and delightful. Can't wait to go back.Which will be
next weekend (happy grin)


 I made him a birthday cake using Wolfgang Puck's 16 layer chocolate cake recipe. I enjoy baking but this
cake kick my arse. It took approximately 5 1/2 hours of prep, baking, assembling, and decorating. I think
 my wrist is still sore from all the whisking but it's all worth it.  


Happy 30th Birthday my love.

Greenmarket @ Prospect Park

 
Sweater: JCP Dress: Tucker for Target Shoes: Toms Bag: H&M Rx Glasses: Warby Parker

I recently got a new pair of glasses and I just adore them so much. I honestly never really like
wearing glasses but these specs make me feel so confident and beautiful. I cannot stop raving
to my friends and family how much I admire Warby Parker. Check out their website. 


This past weekend I wanted to head upstate to check out a local apple orchard farm to do some apple
picking. Unfortunately, after talking with co-workers they had mentioned that apple picking season
was pretty much over. My whole mind set for the week was to make a "Tarte aux Pommes" which
is basically a french style apple tart. I just love the concept of picking fresh fruits or vegetables to
cook or bake something amazing. In order to compensate for not being able to go apple picking
 we decided to hit up the farmer's market.

After shopping we headed over to the food trucks to grab some lunch. I knew already what I wanted
so I went straight to the Kimchi Taco Food Truck. They offer so many great fusion dishes but the
kimchi bbq steak sandwich caught my eye. For $7.00 I got an amazing sandwich for lunch. I love
anything korean. What's your favorite cuisine?
