Outfit:

Free People tunic (gifted), Franco Sarto boots

This is the first piece of clothing I’ve owned that has bell sleeves!  I love the flowy girliness of it!  Better yet, it has a floral pattern!  It was a Hanukkah present this year from my mom (who has the best style btw).  Thanks, mom!  The only concern is that when you are eating you have to be extra careful not to have your sleeves swimming in your plate!  If I could have an all-Free People wardrobe, I would be one happy, hippie-chic gal!

Occasion: Monarch and the Milkweed

The pastry chef from Hen of the Wood, the most upscale, delicious restaurant in Burlington, opened a small restaurant right near City Hall park that is quite fantastic!  It is adorably decorated from the beautiful chandeliers to the twinkling case of endless goodies.  It only seats about 10 people, so you might have to wait to be seated, but the small size is charming and cozy.  I’ve been twice and both times I was in heaven!  I’ve gotten the breakfast sandwich with pancakes, aka”milkgriddles”, in place of bread, a small cinnamon roll with just the moist inside part (OMG), and, pictured above, a powdered almond pastry.  Sweet treats are the perfect way to start a morning off right.  There are no bad choices here, and you can find everything from tarts to pies!

The restaurant also has a dinner menu and stays open late for drinks!  Excited to try this cute little shop out at night!
