girl meets: 12.19.13.

fun.

Why don’t I go to more concerts? I always have SO much fun! On Tuesday I saw John Mayer at Barclays Center, and it was awesome.

And yes, Katy Perry made an appearance :) Have I mentioned how much I love her?

food.

Wednesday turned out to be an unexpected great-food-fest day. I’ll take it.

First up was lunch at Penelope. I can’t go there and not get some version of their amazing chicken meatballs, so I went with it in salad form.

Later that day my parents arrived for a short visit, so I met them for dinner at Nizza. I usually get their socca, but I switched it up and got Pasta Al Pesto - fettucce with a touch of cream, crescenza cheese & pesto (and gluten free!).

For dessert we went next door to Crepe Café Joli. I only had a few bites of this bad boy because it was rich. In the best possible way, clearly.

face.

I was recently sent some new makeup products from Cargo Cosmetics to try out, and I must say it’s joining the ranks of my other favorite makeup brands.

First was their eye shadows, which came in adorable little tin containers. I also loved the shades – they were very natural and lightweight.

My favorite, though, was their TexasLiner Liquid Eye Liner. The tip was like a marker, which made for the easiest cat-eye application.

What was the last concert you went to?
Try any good new makeup products lately?

snapshots.

Taking it back almost a week for this edition of snapshots, starting with…

…Saturday brunch. Oh how I love you.

That would be thee most amazing shrimp and grits from Essex (and one of those meals I can’t not get when I see it on a menu).

Also amazing – these chicks.

A beautiful, no-reason gift from my mom. She’s the best :)

More pumpkin lovin’, Wawa style.

I intended on getting work done on the train…

“Walks with us to the finish.”

Last but not least, today is someone’s last big celebration as a single lady!

The first of a few little surprises for the day…

On that note, I’m off to take Jessi out for her bachelorette adventure :D Enjoy your weekend!

Have any fun plans for the weekend?
What meal can you not not order if it’s on a menu?
