Black Tank and Berry Denim


Went to the mall with my sister yesterday for some sister bonding time and stocked up on some things for Summer! Here are just some pictures of my outfit from yesterday. Just kept things simple and comfy because I needed to survive my trek through the entire mall!

Late Foodie Friday Post!


Knights
Went to Knights in Burbank, CA to grab some dinner before watching "The Great Gatsby" on Monday night. I don't have a lot of Greek food other than maybe Zankou's Chicken, which might not really count. But anyways, we were walking around to find something to eat before the movie and found Knights. When you walk inside they have gold embroidered decor and I felt like I was walking into a Greek movie! The boyfriend and I looked through the menu and saw so many different choices, but eventually decided on the Knight's combo dinner, tzatziki, pita, a salad, and a beef gyro. Everything was in large portions and so flavorful! Absolutely delicious and felt so authentic! If you have a love for Greek food, I highly recommend coming here! AND they let you order for take out too!




Haven Gastropub
Last night, I went out with a group of friends for dinner in Pasadena at Haven. All I really wanted was fries and they definitely satisfied my craving with the ones they have! We sat around and just had a bunch of food, beers, and fries, which is like heaven for me! I also got the seasonal flatbread, which had mustard greens, mushrooms, cheese, and truffle oil. It was absolutely amazing!! The truffle wasn't too overwhelming, as it can be sometimes and the fries were WONDERFUL! I loved the herbs and spices on it and can't say enough! 

Haven is a great place to hang out for dinner or Happy Hour, so give it a try!

Late Foodie Friday!

Hakata Shin Sen Gumi
I'm not sure if I spelled the name correctly, but this ramen place is in Little Tokyo right next to the Quiznos and Yogurtland. I love coming here when I want to customize my ramen and get some appetizers here and there. You get to choose the softness of your noodles, strength of the broth, and amount of oil that goes in your ramen. Isn't that perfect?!!

Definitely give this place a try! One of my faves!

Foodie Friday

Green Street Tavern

The boyfriend and I were passing through Pasadena and decided to just look on Yelp and find a place to eat. I just randomly chose Green Street Tavern from their great reviews, so we went and it turned out to be a small intimate lounge-like restaurant. We were seated right away and the servers gave us the daily specials, which sounded amazing! 
We got the gnocchi as our appetizer and it was awesome! It was pan seared with kale, pine nuts, cheese, and a few different mushrooms. So flavorful and completely delicious. The boyfriend ordered a very popular dish, the wild boar meat loaf and I got the Cassoulet, which was duck confit with a stew of beans covered in bread crumbs. Everything was super fresh with so many layers of flavors. 

I believe we made a great spontaneous choice to have dinner there and will definitely come back to try out other dishes!

Ways I styled a Crop Top

Hi you guys! So here's another outfit post and it was for a crop top I just purchased recently. I've been seeing crop tops everywhere and although I don't find them great for everyday wear, I do think they are cute for certain occasions! I was thinking of wearing them for my tropical vacations or for beach days. They would make great items to just throw over a bikini or to wear with shorts to frolic on the beach! 

Anyways, here are two looks I came up with- one for a more dressy occasion if you dare to wear it for a night out or for a casual day outfit! Hope you guys like them!
