the real deal

[American Apparel lace dress, Cole Haan x Jen Brill shoes, Robert Glergerie clutch]
[Zara shirt and blazer, J.Crew wool tie, Lanvin lapel pin, Drakes silk pocket square]

There are pretty much only two occasions a year that I properly get dressed up for; our anniversary and my man's birthday. So this is what I wore to the latter. I realize that my idea of "dressed up" is probably your casual friday getup but ordinarily I never dress this fanceh. I snatched up this American Apparel lace dress at 50% off because I'm Asian and can't resist a good deal and also because it reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana FW10 (or all seasons). I paired it with my worn-to-death leather jacket to balance out the girliness. I'm not sure why I didn't get a better picture of the Cole Haan x Jen Brill shoes because the tassel laces and ox-blood red color are !!!!.

To celebrate, we hit up Blue Butcher for some real-deal steak and buttery bone marrow. I try not to post shitty photos taken in low low light, but the bone marrow is too ZOMG to ignore. Another epic meal for my epic belly but I was kind of disappointed to find out at the END of it that the waiter forgot to offer us our choice of sauces. Every little bit counts.
