Even though summer is barely over (I really still feel as though summer never started) I decided to change my hair into something more natural and appropriate for pre-fall. I walked out of the salon -my regular salon that I visited all the way in Boston- dreading my decision and missing my drastic ombre-do. But each time I see myself in the mirror I like the color more and more. I guess it was the change I need for the changing fashion season.

Feeling Spring

It's the end of April and is finally starting to feel like spring. I didn't know how much longer I could wait for the warm weather and sunny skies. 

My trailing skirt via shopnastygal (also seen here) is currently hogging up all my wear time. I find myself begging the weather for warmer days so I can wear it more and more. The neutral color leaves so much room for accessories so each time I wear it feels like it's the first time I'm pulling it out of my closet.

Warming My Soul

The sun has the amazing power to warm me completely to my soul. I am such a happier person when the sun is there during the day to warm everything. I guess you could call me solar powered. I took these pictures during my weekend home at my favorite lake spot. I like my weekend attire to be completely casual to help me (and my mind) relax and recharge for the upcoming week.

The perfect mix of cocktails, Mediterranean food, and sushi equals one place; Le Garage. The casual up-scale restaurant has three rooms to choose to enjoy your meal in a casual bar, sushi bar, or romantic dining room. The staff is so nice & friendly and the bartender even came to our table and prepared his special "fruits of the forest mojito" which was filled with fresh raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples and mint! My favorite is the mai-tai which I get as soon as I enter the restaurant. They have a delicious mix of Mediterranean foods like their three dips (hummus, guacamole, & tzatiki) and white rice with egg starters. My favorite salad (which I order every time) is their melon's feta salad which is slices of fresh melon, watermelon, feta, oregano, and kalamata olives. The mixture reminds me of a warm summers day and each bite is delicious. They also have a large amount of entrees of fish and meats to choose from but I also opt for the sushi. It is the perfect restaurant with a location to match (it is right across from Retiro Park). It is a wonderful place to enjoy after a night stroll in the park even if it's just for a casual cocktail.
