In case you didn't notice...I got my hair cut! Both the fiancé and I went to get our hair cleaned up last Wednesday to prepare for our big day. We were originally supposed to get it cut the Thursday before that but there was a bit of a problem.

Our appointments were for 3pm, we showed up at the salon and the doors were locked. We went back to the car and tried to call, no answer. A few minutes later an old lady walked to the salon and got in so we quickly ran in and followed her. Turns out the place SHUT DOWN and they didn't bother to call people that had appointments. So we tracked down the girl that does our hair and found her new salon and made new appointments. What a production!

I get my haircut about once a year, I think my last cut was in June or July of 2017. I just hate paying for haircuts since I don't do much with my hair so I just let it grow out and then chop it off and start the process again, haha!

I wore this last Thursday to head up to LuLu Chinese in Greenwich with my fiancé. I was invited to a preview event ahead of their official opening the following day. The event was slightly disappointing because we could barely move around due to the amount of people. But the food made up for it, we loved everything we tried! More on the food below the outfit photos!

I decided to wear my beloved Carven Paris map print dress because it's been neglected this Summer! It even got a compliment from one of the women at the event. Don't you love when that happens?  Before the event started we decided to walk around the block to take outfit photos with no people around.

On to the food! The event was basically everyone standing around long tables (which will have stools during normal business hours) and sitting at the bar with food being brought out in sample sizes.  Our favorites were the chicken spring rolls, salt & pepper shrimp and pork dumplings! The veggie fried rice was also really good. I liked the flavor of the chilled peanut noodles but it's a little odd (for me) to eat cold noodles so I wasn't a huge fan overall.  They also had crab rangoons, pork belly bao buns and a few cocktails floating around the room.

Looks unassuming outside, but the food is amazing

Welcome back, throwback outfits! It's been quite a while since I've done one thanks to vacation and taking a week off the blog to move. Whoops! But here we go with an outfit from 2012 where I still have every single piece I wore in the original look. These sandals are definitely reaching the end of their days, sadly. The straps are beginning to break and the rope on the wedge is peeling off. But I should get a few more wears at least.

The Original:

A stroll in the park calls for a floral blouse, right? The weather is still undecided so I'm switching between wearing pants and shorts. The joys of Spring, right? When I first bought this shirt I wasn't sure how often I would wear it but I love having it in my closet for those days where I'm feeling more girly than usual.

How was this 8 years ago!!? Insane how time flies by, right? My life has changed quite a bit since I wore this, yet I still own everything in this outfit. Back then I was living in another town with my best friend and commuting to New York City for work 4 days a week. Now (after living with my cousins for 4 years) I'm back with my parents, working from home, with exciting things on the horizon. Stay tuned. *wink wink*

The original:

Last week I was in Rhode Island for a couple days and headed to Newport for an afternoon. It was a whopping 80 degrees - IN OCTOBER - so I was able to wear my thin cashmere sweater one last time before it goes away until next Summer.
