{ Nude + Black } @ Sushi Yasuda

My sister took the November babies (me, our brother and her husband) to Sushi Yasuda for our birthday celebration. I was so excited, as it is only the best sushi in town! It's also the best sushi I ever had, which is saying a lot, as I am picky about fish.

It was good, but it was not the same as my first experience when we sat next to Chef Yasuda as he showed us every kind of wild fish known to man and had us taste them. At the end, every taste bud in my mouth was touched. I will die thinking about that meal! This time, we didn't get personal attention from the chef, but had omakase (chef's selections). Still, it was delicious.

What I Wore

For a sushi date, I thought I would go with the Zen spirit, which compliments the minimalist decor at Sushi Yasuda. I decided on this nude dress and black tights. It's simple, yet perfect-- just like Sushi Yasuda!

I don't ever want to be labeled as the girl in pink, as the color is so quintessentially for girls. Therefore, I have very little pink in my closet. I have items that are patterned or used for layering, but I don't own any statement pink pieces. I even try my best not to dress my daughter in pink, although it's almost impossible for little girls. For some reason, when I saw this hot pink skirt, I loved it. It's wool, it's simple, it's got pockets... it's very me. I even paired it with the only light pink top I have.

The Colors of Autumn

When I think of the colors of Autumn, the beautiful scenery of fall foliage came to mind.  Mountains turn yellow, tan, orange, red among hint of green trees.  It's sooo gorgeous and breathtaking.  Every year around this time, I almost always take a trip somewhere to take in the short lived beauty.  I created this look after my recent trip to Storm King, Hudson Valley, NY due to it's beauty.  I don't know how to describe how beautiful and breathtaking it was with colors of tan & pink weeds, orange statues, yellow and orange trees on the field of green grass ending with blue sky above it.  I think that was nature at it's best, and I picked a perfect day to be there, as just few days later, there was much damage due to the snow storm.  I personally love this outfit as it reminds me of that day.

{ At the Office } mini series - episode 1

Fall is a great time to wear blazers, capes, tights, and ankle boots! Coincidently, these things are also very appropriate for the office, so I thought, why not start a mini-series featuring these great items as ideas for office wear.

I paired a long blazer with this dress that Julie bought for me at Urban Outfitters for $20. It's cute, comfortable, and works for the office. I am a huge fan of pairing high-end items with very inexpensive finds- when people would never think you are wearing something that only cost $5 or $10.
