{life} weekend recap.

It's so nice to finally just sit down & relax & have no agenda besides watch football & blog. {smiles} This weekend seemed to breeze by & I am sure the rest of October will too. 

This weekend I went to a friend's wedding at the Gables in San Marcos. What a hidden gem the place is! It was intimate & had a great vintage outdoor feel to it. Loved it! Here are some pictures from the wedding: 

It was  beautiful wedding! Congrats Cat + Mike. & thanks for the open bar because I had to take care of sick bear praying to the porcelain god when we got home & turning purple & having the shakes. I thought he was going to die. I stayed up to make sure he was still breathing. Haha. 

There was a Pick Your Plum deal not too long ago for some washi tape & I thought I would pick some up to see what fun stuff I could do with it. Totally forgot I ordered them until they came in the mail on Saturday. Love it when that happens because it is like you're getting surprise presents in the mail! I think this might become a new obsession for me... Like I need another one.  

Picked up this new jacket from H&M this weekend, couldn't resist since I had a 20% off coupon. 

I'm sure it will be awhile before I can wear it, but I can feel fall getting a little closer since it's finally starting to cool down a little. Hopefully, I don't jinx it & another heat waves comes through. I have been ready for the blazers & jacket & boot weather. Come faster! Please!

& a weekend recap wouldn't be complete without a food photo. Boo & I went to lunch at Island Styles. It's been so long & I was craving Korean Chicken! It was delicious!

Okay, now back to watching football & following my nail biting match up this week against Vicky!

{foodie + life} bruxie, 85c, chronic tacos + weekend recap!

Oh, Monday how I really have this love/hate relationship with you. {sigh} But, at least it was a pretty good weekend! We went to a wedding this past weekend up in Newport Beach... a little awkward & weird ... Especially when the mother is saying a thank you speech to everyone & then throws in at the end "I hope it lasts..." I am sure she was not too thrilled about her son getting married. But, I had some really awesome food that I was quite stoked about, not at the wedding though, because I'm not really a fan with those 8 course Chinese style food, which is typical of asian weddings. But, we made some pit stops along the way so we could get our Bruxie fix. I am really surprised I am not 20 gazillion pounds overweight & obese. Although my muffin top is starting to reveal itself a little more. {sigh}

First stop we made after the ceremony, bruxie! Oh man, it is so delicious, I cannot even explain to you how good it is. I wish they had one in San Diego. 

Bruxie Burger...

Creme Brulee Waffle. If you ever go to Bruxie you HAVE to get this waffle. Seriously, it is like heaven. I promise you will love it.

Sunday morning before heading home we stopped at 85c bakery. This place is always packed. There was a line out the door at like 10am. Crazy if you ask me! I think it is neat how you grab a tray & some tongs & you just pick what you like & take it to the register to pay.  I always hear people rave about their sea salt coffee & teas. So, I had to try it of course. Oh man, I can see how it can be addictive. It's so good, it is like a Vietnamese coffee but not as bitter & tastes just right.

all the different pastries & baked goods...

& then we made our way to Chronic Tacos for lunch because we had this drunken conversation about Mexican food & this guy was talking about chronic tacos. So, I guess we had to try it... thoroughly disappointed. hah. this is definitely not Mexican food by any means... more like a taco bell... so yeah, don't go there. 

& can't forget Father's Day, we took daddy to the buffet since he loves buffets, we went to Valley View since we had not been there in awhile & they have lobster, family is sucker for seafood. We get there after a 30 minute drive & they are sold out. How in the hell do you sell out at a fricken buffet. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. So, we made our way to Harrah's for their buffet. Not really a buffet fan, but as long as daddy was happy. :)

I'm sure I gained at least 5 lbs this weekend, but food is always worth it. {smiles}

{life} weekend recap!

What a lovely weekend it was! & I'm glad to finally just get to lay in bed, watch keeping up with the kardashians {guilty pleasure} & recap my weekend.

So, I started the weekend off with this lovely message from Carolyn.

It seriously made my day & warms my heart to have someone notice the things you do & to have them appreciate it. I would do anything for her. 

I love weddings! & Saturday I had to attend two & boy it was kind of exhausting. Maybe one day soon I will be able to marry the man of my dreams & start planning my own wedding. {hah, I have a long way to go still} I swear I have had in planned in my head since I was 10 years old since I have grown up being around weddings & seeing how beautiful it really is. {sigh, one day!}

Sunday Funday! & nothing beats spending the day with my favorite boys. {love} Someone special made me some play-doh "ice cream with sprinkles" {precious really} I remember when I was maybe two or three & I would eat play-doh & it's pretty salty & disgusting. {ew}

But, while he was making me my ice cream I was working on a little project! The baby sex reveal! Wednesday is the day Carolyn & Canh find out the sex of their baby! {Eeks! so exciting} But, she wants to capture their reaction to the sex of the baby on photos. So, I started a little project today. Here is a sneak peek on what I am working on right now. 

Stay tuned for Wednesday for more pictures of on the final product! {ahhh} I'm so excited because now I can really start planning their baby shower for real & not just have it be a board on pinterest!

xoxo.
