Heavenly Himitsu

Last night I had the pleasure of enjoying the newest sushi spot in San Diego, called Himitsu. The experience can be summed up in two words, Simply Divine! I've had my favorite sushi spot for about 7 years now and after one visit to Himitsu it has officially been replaced!

The Novelty Of Nick & G's

As I've mentioned before I'm really making an effort to get out of my bubble and explore the North County food scene. In doing so I decided to stop by Nick & G's, which is nestled in the gorgeous community of Rancho Santa Fe. When dining out I use all of my senses and expect the restaurant to appeal to them. Let's just say I left this establishment with sensory overload!

Cardigans To Consider For Fall

How To Wear: Adding a pop of color is best done when breaking up a monochromatic look. For me it doesn't have to be bold, just contrasting to the clothing underneath.

Smoking Goodness

OOOOMMMGGGG! Smoking Gun is exactly what the downtown San Diego food scene needs. A neighborhood type bar with some of the best cocktails I've had the pleasure of enjoying and great food! Their signature cocktails are displayed in a Viewmaster (something children of the 80's greatly appreciate) which is pure genius and I spent at least 10 minutes just enjoying that.

Diner En Blanc 2017

My first Diner En Blanc was amazing! As of recent there has been a huge influx of secret dinners that have a variety of stipulations, but non more famous then Diner En Blanc. It's one of the most, if not the most, exclusive event in San Diego with a wait list in excess of 10,000. Guest are required to wear ALL white from head to toe and meet at a secret location

Trust Your Taste Buds

Happy Monday! Last week I had the pleasure of dining at the amazing Trust restaurant. Before attending a tasting I always like to review the menu a day or two prior. Hands down I'd have to say it's one of the most cultured and perfectly curated menus in the city!

Dean Hall X Joseph Ribkoff

I'M BAAAAAAAAACK! Last weekend I had the pleasure of returning to the Hotel Del for another fashion presentation. This time it was in partnership with designer Joseph Ribkoff, which turns 60 this year. I styled 12 looks from the current collection and talked about how the brand was really made for the everyday woman.

The Rail Way To Brunch

Hillcrest is definitely one of the best and hottest neighborhoods to brunch in. So how does a restaurant stand out with such fierce competition? For starters, how about flying in chefs from Vegas to curate a drool worthy menu! I had the pleasure of talking to Chef Chad Brunette, of The Rail ,who has a true passion for the art of creating delicious meals.

Wondrous Afternoon At Westroot Tavern

When I hear the term "sports bar" there are a few things that come to mind. First, I envision middle aged men wearing their favorite team jersey, with the lower half of their gut (beer gut to be more specific) exposed, screaming obscenities at the players on TV's for "screwing up a play", because clearly they could do a better job.
