From MSP to TX in 5 Seconds

-- Banana Republic blazer -- Ann Taylor top -- Lucky Brand Jeans --
-- Ferragamo ribes & varina -- Forever 21 coin necklace --
From office casual to casual dinner.

O f course NOT Texas the state, but just the restaurant. In particular, Texas Roadhouse - home of the best rolls & cinnamon butter known to mankind!

We met up with our friends early so I didn't get a chance to do a change of outfit so I just cuffed my jeans, changed into some comfy flats, dropped the jacket and off we went for a sumptuous dinner of bbq ribs and fried chicken. It was every calorie so worth it!

PS - The flats were fresh from the box from my lunchtime purchase at Off Fifth. At 60% off, it was practically begging to be bought and I was too weak to resist. =)

Aquatennial 2009

-- Ann Taylor satin ruffled top -- Fendi sunnies -- Glass necklace from Kohls -- LV speedy 30 --
Our first time at the Minneapolis Aquatennial, now on its 70th year.

I can't believe that in our 6 years here (9 years for me), we have not gone to the Aquatennial Fest ever. And so this year, we made it a point to go. The verdict? Quite interesting but won't mind missing it for next year... and the year after that... and the year after....

The sandcastle contest with the city as the backdrop.

Milk carton boat race. Simply ingenious.
