Creative Mexican at Besito

In celebration of the Future Hubs' actual birthday my Fam treated him to dinner at Besito on Long Island.

Nestled into adorable downtown Huntington, NY, Besito serves up Mexican food with an upscale flair that will surely get your mouth to water.

As this was our second trip to Besito we had high expections and they did not disappoint! 

We started off our meal with their Guacamole, made tableside and served in oversized stone bowls.

Our drinks, their signature Besito-Patron Margarita made with pomegranite-tangerine juice which gives it that pretty pink hue. Besito also has phenomenal homemade Sangria and a creative wine list featuring wines from Spain, Argentina and Chile.

If the drinks weren't impressive enough, the food is to die for! Besito serves up creative takes on classic Mexican fare like, Tacos Res (skirt steak tacos), Enchiladas De Mole Poblano and Taquitos De Pescado (fish tacos).

We finished our meal with after dinner drinks, I indulged in their martini special featuring tequila & chocolate liqueur and a crushed cookie rim.

The future Hubs even received a complimentary dessert & birthday photo to take home!

Along with your bill the server brings worry dolls and an oversized bag of homemade churros. You'll leave so stuffed but so satisfied!

Besito has 3 total locations; Huntington & Roslyn, NY as well as West Hartford, CT. If you  live near one, I highly recommend you go!

Say Yes To The Dress

Sorry for my unplanned little blog-cation but more on that later.

If you follow me on Twitter you probably remember that I made a special trip to New York City last month.

I was on a mission to find the perfect wedding dress!

I tried on so many beautiful dresses and spent some quality time with my Mom and Sister!

and....I found the dress!

I found my perfect dress at Birnbaum & Bullock

they have so many gorgeous designs I loved trying them all on but once I put on that one beautiful dress I knew it was the right choice!

I'm not telling which dress I chose but think feminine lace & beading.

I'm so happy with my choice and as a bonus we also picked out gorgeous bridesmaid dresses too!

My Sis/MOH served as our model,

I forgot to take pics of the dress we chose haha but it's royal blue and very pretty!

We also made time for some non-wedding fun while I was in NY.

My Sis and I went to see Citizen Cope live, and we enjoyed a leisurely fondue lunch at Artisanal in between dress shops.

yum!

Well, I'm off to meet with a photographer this morning!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Labor Day Weekend

We spent the long weekend in New York City and could not have asked for better weather!

Heading into the City when so many people were heading out of it also made the journey to NY so nice. We didn't hit any traffic at all, unheard of.

We dined at some delicious restaurants like Southern Hospitality, La Bottega, and Mercadito

enjoyed drinks at Soho House, The Frying Pan and Wine & Roses.

Our last day was spent at beautiful South Street Seaport where we took in the Bodies Exhibition and enjoyed a leisurely lunch outside.

I love New York

What The Fug?!

Happy Friday!!

Today marks exactly ONE year until my wedding! eeeeee!

Well anyway, it's been awhile since I have visited my fav inexpensivly trendy yet sometimes fugly retailer Forever 21 to showcase some of their fashions gone wrong sooooo I thought today would be a good opportunity!

And both of the items I have selected today are on sale so if you're feeling adventurous tasteless grab 'em while you can. Ironically, while I love love love F21 it's also where I got my dress from the Ugly Dress Party my friends and I had last year.

Feast your eyes on today's WTF?! choices,

If you weren't prepared for rain just cut some holes for your

arms and head into a black trash bag. Tres chic.

and who could resist looking like they're wearing a plaid mushroom?

Me, perhaps?

So here's the question,

Would YOU wear this?!

Enjoy the long weekend everyone! I'm jetting off to NYC to spend some time with my Sis, you can find me on the Upper East Side or maybe at Soho House, South Street Seaport  or the Frying Pan ;)
