saks sale finds

i tried to be good this year and stay away from the sales, but i could not resist these when saks put their sale on an additional 25% off.  the total for both pairs wasn’t even half of what most jimmy choos cost full price.

my philosophy when shopping sales is if i wouldn’t buy it full price, i shouldn’t buy it on sale.  luckily, both pairs are classic and comfortable, and i will have them for years to come.

dovetail restaurant

dovetail on the upper west is one of those restaurants that it typically outside of my price range.  imagine my delight when i found out that they have a three-course menu on sunday evenings for $52.  warning:  lots of pictures ahead.  the food was just too pretty to not take pictures of everything.

sketch london

while i was in london, i had afternoon tea with two good friends at sketch.  the decor was absolutely incredible – every room was decorated completely differently.  and the bathrooms were individual eggs, sitting atop an underground bar.  oh, and the food was pretty great too.sketch entrance entrance, complete with hopscotch.sketch hopscotchsketch dessert room room right off the main entrance.sketch dessert close up of desserts in the case.sketch main room room where we had tea.sketch tea food assortment of cakes and sandwiches that came with the tea.
