Sometimes we walk to dinner

walking to dinner / the style eater

On Fridays, we go out to eat.  It’s become somewhat of a tradition based purely on laziness, dwindling groceries at the end of the week, and long work days.  Sometimes we go big and make reservations at a fun restaurant across town.  But let’s be real…usually we walk across the street, have Oaxacan mole at a questionable hole-in-the-wall (aka the best), and then hop over to the diner a few blocks down to eat pie and drink milkshakes.  Oooooh yeah, we’re crazy kids.

As much as I love crowded restaurants and hip meals and fancy cocktails, sometimes all I need is a simple evening of pie and milkshakes.  Oh and some tamales.

Can’t they all be 3-day weekends?

3-day weekending / the style eater

This weekend was extra great because it was THREE DAYS LONG.  I love when that happens, don’t you?  A whole extra day to frolic around and pretend I have no responsibilities.  You may have noticed the spotty blogging in the last few weeks (aka months) but awards season takes its toll on this gal.  I’ve been work-work-working nonstop and it leaves little room for extracurriculars.  Hopefully after this week, I’ll be back in the blogging game at full speed!

So what’s been going on lately?

+ I went to Ann-Marie’s gorgeous engagement party.  Will share more photos from it soon!

+ I’m having a pretty serious love affair with Wool and the Gang.  Their products are just so amazing.

+ I planned a trip with Kyle to Montreal.  If you have any Montreal recs, send them my way!

+ I’m feeling extra inspired and motivated after watching the Beyonce documentary on HBO.

+ I’m feeling extra depressed after the season finale of Downton Abbey.  I can’t even discuss…too soon.

+ I have a few new ESSENTIALS to share with you (here are some old ones).  That column kind of fell off the face of the planet but really, I do have essentials to share!

+ What?  It’s already mid-February?  Happy, happy birthday to my baby brother, Josh, who is now 15 years old.  I can’t even believe it.

Grammy Times

Grammy night / the style eater

On Sunday, I had the honor of attending the Grammy Awards with my bf and a few of my coworkers.  We had such a lovely time, singing and dancing and applauding on cue.  Our seats were adjacent to the stage but we could still see (mostly) everything that was going on.  Oh!!  And I caught a bunch of Taylor Swift’s heart confetti from her performance.  So that’s a plus!

I  also love any excuse to wear fun dresses and red lipstick.  By the way, recognize this dress as the one I wore in my best friend’s wedding??  Everyone always says they can rewear their bridesmaids dress but I actually can wear it and DID!

PS I took a few videos on the Vine app if you have it.  I’m @thestyleeater so come find me!

On 26 & the worst week ever.

26th birthday / the style eater

This face is my WTF-IS-ABOUT-TO-HAPPEN? face.  It’s a mixture of confusion and anxiety that comes with knowing that you’re about to be sick and no matter how many packets of Emergen-C you partake in, it’s coming for ya and it’s coming for ya good.

PS I hate when people complain about being sick.  But I’m giving myself a free pass because I got the flu on my birthday.  Also, my boyfriend gave me the flu, so he had it on my birthday too.  Also, I got a flu shot.  All of those things combined equals a giant WTF.

So we got like this really horrible strain of the flu, where we slept for 90% of the week and were completely unaware of what was going on in the outside world.  Normally on sick days, I’ll watch Kardashian marathons but no way in hell was that happening this time.  I was passed the F out.  I was also hallucinating a lot about Lady Sybil.  Why, Lady Sybil??  Why?

Anyway so my birthday week was the worst ever.  You win some, you lose some.  Moving onward and here’s hoping the rest of the year is a bit better!

Thoughts / the style eater

Just a few things swirling around my head as of late:

IS IT FOR REALS 2013?  Ok so it’s been 2013 for 21 days now but I’m just now realizing it.  Also, yesterday Kyle and I were having a random conversation and he said, “You’d think that by the year 2010, they’d have this sort of thing figured out already,” and I was like “Errrr…prettahh sure it’s 2012?”  And then we both realized it was neither and that 2013 is a real thing.

Work has been SO crazy lately (as in I worked 85 hours last week) that I missed out on DAYS of Pinterest.  I can never get those days of scrolling back, you know what I’m saying?  All that inspo is lost in the black hole of interwebs.

I’m turning 26 years old next week and I think I’m okay with it.  Plus, I have presents hiding around my house from my friends and I can’t wait much longer to open them.  Am I allowed to say that?

My hair is all sorts of weird colors and I don’t know what to make of it.

I think I’ve found the perfect lipstick.  Yup, definitely.  More on that later.

Also, I’m going to try out this new thing called “blogging” this week.  Maybe a few new posts?  Quite possibly a recipe?  Let’s do it!
