so i'm a little strange. i have like 58 irrational fears. one of them, which is somewhat rational, is sharks. (dun dun dunnn)... I have no method to my madness either. I'm terrified of murderers & serial killers, so I think it's a good idea to watch Lockup:Raw and weird documentaries on Netflix about The 5 Biggest Serial Killers? Im petrified of sharks, so somehow watching Shark Week just seems to make sense? I guess so. Tune in, Shark Week starts Aug 1st. We can be scared together.

so, me and my boyfriend have movie issues sometimes. he likes fast, action packed, sometimes bloody, robot-y, lots of guns, spinning car chases that usually result in fire & cars jumping off cliffs. I, on the other hand enjoy...well...period films with beautiful clothes, a love story, great dialogue and some good lookin actors. So, sometimes the stars align and that awesome word "compromise" comes into play! (Arian knows how to persuade me in Blockbuster late at night...Me: "is that an action movie?" Arian: "yes, but babe, there is cool clothes and you love 1940s hairstyles!") Yes, in fact I do, so we agree on Public Enemies. Just the right amount of good lookin styling & hunky actors, while still having people get shot to satisfy Arian. How dreamy is Johnny! So persistent and confident in this movie...and Marion, always looking so chic and dazzling. oh yeah, and the story is cool too...

i fell asleep (as per usual) I think I have a disease where it is nearly impossible for me to stay awake for a movie if I start it past 10:01pm. I still need to finish it, and I can't wait.

well, i am still full from dinner last night, but oh my was it good. i just love love love the vibe in this downtown hangout...super high ceilings, a loud, yet happy racket, everybody has a yummy looking drink, a smile and maybe even a colorful macaroon...it's quite grand in it's architecture, while still maintaining a super laid back vibe. (which is my kinda place). How can one object to all that space in there! Me and my bf split a arugula, ricotta and mozzarella pizza, portobello french fries & brussels sprouts. All three were cooked perfectly and tasted great, all that cheese was just heavenly. Oh and me and Kel cheers to some champagne, because we were feelin fancy. I loved their huge selection of wine, baked goods, pasta, olive oils...all things that make great gifts. Three words. I'm Goin Back.

the concept of a zoomed in photograph on packaging never gets old if it is done right. & in the case of Gran Farina, it IS done just perfect.





and i also love colored striped, especially in orange and green.
