Resort 2016


When people think of resort, they think of a place to getaway and relax.  When I think of resort, I think of that unusual time between Winter and Spring, when it's warming up outside (and you finally get to show off some leg), yet you still need to throw a sweater on. When the snow is almost gone and you can enjoy the outdoors, while wearing a lot less layers. It's finally "Resort 2016" my friends and the 1990's are back!  That means ribbed shirts, baby doll dresses and mules.  You know, the kinda outfits the female cast from "Friends" used to wear? So since it's still kinda chilly out, I put this outfit together which you could wear on your next resort trip :)

A Tommy Hilfiger Ribbed Turtleneck
A Floral Baby Doll Dress
A Moroccan-inspired Necklace
&
Camel-colored Mules

This complete outfit can be purchased at my Etsy shop called rginart

A Day in New Jersey's Village


Today, being the 2nd of February, I was due to get my monthly bus pass.  Having this pass in my hands every month is like a ticket to a new adventure.  I had the whole day to myself and what better way to enjoy it than with a trip around New Jersey's Village.  


It was a warmer day in Jersey, but I was craving some really good coffee, so I went to this South Asian restaurant that had a tasty Chai Latte. I looked at the menu and under the, "Dang, I Just Woke Up" section, I ordered the best omelette I've ever had!


This egg dish had salmon, feta cheese, olives, and chives, with a side salad and an English muffin.  Too Yummy.  I promised one of the waiters, who I actually know, that I'll be back another day for dinner time.


Exiting the restaurant, about 3 doors down, there was this vintage book/record store that was so inviting.


From rare readings that are dated from the turn of the century to record albums that have just been released, this place is just as rad as can be. Culture is fascinating and it isn't only found in museums, but in cool little Mom and Pop shops like these. Sometimes a collection of sorts can turn into a business and I am all for supporting them.

Have a good night!
