Weekend Shenanigans

Saturday my boyfriend and I went to try this new shabu shabu restaurant on Convoy. It's not Japanese-owned, and we were one of two parties there. Meat was fresh and veggies were plenty, but sauces & soup base were quite disappointing.

My boyfriend brought me to a UCSD event Saturday night, and it was held at the Sheraton Carlsbad. I really wish we got there when there was still daylight so I could take some pictures of the beautiful resort and ocean view. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a nice Italian dinner at Trattoria Positano and got to smell the ocean from Cardiff by the Sea. Here's a glimpse of my night...

Outfit of the Night: Forever 21 dress (Spring 2011), Black tights (Taiwan), H&M black suede wedges (Spring 2011), House of Harlow necklace (2011)

Here's a closeup of the H&M black suede wedges - so cute & comfy!

Dinner @ Trattoria Positano: gnocchi with mushroom and tomato sauce

Seafood Linguine with tons of shellfish

I'm a sucker for anything gnocchi, even if it's just simple tomato sauce. Sometimes it's the simple ones that are the best. The softness of the potato dumpling just melts in your mouth. Delicious!

On Sunday, we went to get our free Origins product for the annual Earth Day event. Then, we went straight to the farmer's market in Hillcrest. From fresh seafood to African indulgences, there's something for everyone at this farmer's market. A taste of our brunch...

Outfit of the Day: Everything from Forever 21 (Spring 2012) except for the scarf, which is from Cotton On

The meatiest lamb gyro that you ever did see $7

Freshly shucked oysters $2 each!

And the biggest surprise of all! Freshly shucked sea urchin ceviche! $10

Decadent baklava! $2

Aside from the above goodies, we also got cookies from The Cravory, savory crepes from Le Creperie, and Horchata from Pure Juices. The Horchata has to be the best I've ever had. Just sweet enough with tons of cinnamon flavor. No wonder everyone raves about it! We were so lucky to get to try the sea urchin - it sold out right after we got our order in! Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to return next Sunday!
