Outfit and Occasion

  

Outfit:

Navy Talbots Blazer (Possibility Shop, Burlington), 15 cents, ABS pants (Battery Street Jeans, Burlington), $2.50, Route 66 Shoes (Salvation Army, Burlington), $3.00 + DIY paint job, Earrings (Siren, Mamaroneck NY), $12.00, Forever21 layered necklace (forever21.com), $10.00

This is truly a thrifted outfit.  Let me explain the blazer…It was on the 30 cent rack at a church’s thrift store as a set with pants.  I didn’t want the pants so the cashier gave me the jacket for half the amount, hence the whopping 15 cent cost!  Also, ABS pants are normally around 200-300 bucks.  Pretttty wild if you ask me!

Occasion:

Tiny Thai, Winooski VT

Tiny Thai in Winooski Circle is a favorite amongst many Vermonters.  It is inexpensive, exceptionally tasty, and seemingly authentic (albeit I’ve never been to Thailand…).   It is BYOB and always packed.  It’s perfect for big parties and a loud, but not too loud, ambiance.  I got the flavorful Gratiem, and was tickled with delight!

Outfit and Occasion

Floral Skirt (Consignment Store, NYC), $13.00, Michael Stars wrap shirt (Shalom Shuk, Burlington), $3.00, Arrowhead necklace (forever21.com), $7.00, Earrings (gifted)

Second Valentines Day together, First year in our shared apartment!!

       

Occasion:

Leunigs Bistro serves delicious, French food and is one of the fancier restaurants in Burlington.  It reigned as a family favorite throughout my time at UVM and we often would order the tasting menu, which felt like a marathon of delectable delights perpetually parading onto our plates, one after another.  Everything from Foie Gras to Duck Confit.  Yum!  They also have a brunch, and Tom and I luckily got a romantic table by the window to celebrate Valentines together!  We both had a breakfast skillet with eggs and cheese over sausage, beef, and bacon.

Part II

Tom made a special dinner for Valentines!  Delicious pot roast!  I’m one lucky gal 🙂

Outfit and Occasion

Outfit:

Lucca Couture Skirt (shop in Chicago), $14.00 (on sale from $40.00), Tradewinds Rose Quartz Necklace (Pathways Vermont Auction 2012), $10.00, Dragonfly Earrings (Second Time Around, Burlington), $7.00

Occasion:

American Flatbread is a Burlington classic.  As big as the restaurant is, it is consistently bustling with large parties and people willing to wait for ridiculous amounts of time. The thin crust, wood-fired oven, heavenly pizza pies come dressed with fresh and local toppings.  The result is something special.  The slices are cut small, a ruse that makes one lose track of how many pieces devoured (5…10?).  Not to mention there is the wonderful compliment of delicious hand-crafted beer brewed in house.

After a day of skiing in fresh pow pow, and a perfectly cool, winter wonderland, a full belly of this magical taste sensation was all I needed to top it all off!
