St. Francis (An Urban Neighborhood Restaurant)

Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far. Today I’m coming to you with a really quick post of a few pictures at this GREAT restaurant in phoenix called St. Francis.  My little sister saw it on Guy Fieri’s diner’s, drive-in’s, and dive’s (my favorite show) and it looked really good so we decided to head over for lunch and check it out! I was more than impressed! First of all, any place with murals and writings on the walls  automatically has to be good right?!  From the second we pulled up I was revving myself up for a good meal.

Walking in, the first thing you notice is how open it is, large window panels scattered throughout the restaurant showing off the patio (which i totally regret not sitting at, it was so pretty) there was also a large window opening the bar out to the street which brought even more natural light into the place which I loved! My sister and I both were simple and got the lunch special, the Italian sub. But simple never hurt nobody because that sandwich was so good! I bit it and it bit right back! It totally wasn’t expecting so much flavor in such a simple dish! They took a classic and made it fantastic! The only thing I wasn’t sure about were the fries, I’m almost positive they were baked and I didn’t know how I felt about them! Probably just because that wasn’t what I was expecting but I guess more things should be baked anyways so who am I to complain!

This restaurant did such a good job of giving guests a nice open setting and relaxed environment, and the food was just too good for a GREAT price.

Anyone here in phoenix?! CHECK THEM OUT. imagethe stages of biting into a really good sandwich…

Good morning everyone, happy saturday!!! I hope you’re all having a fantastic weekend and your Christmas’ were full of love. I’m already starting my countdown for next year, is that too much? haha

Don’t get me wrong I cant wait for the new year, but I’m always so incredibly depressed when Christmas is over, nothing makes me sadder! One thing that the ending of Christmas brings to me is a reality check and a quick reminder that my days of not only my beloved peppermint mocha lattes, but my  dark lipstick, knit scarves and layering are numbered!  So here I am with a post showing you just that! Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend!

with love,

Happy Sunday!!! I hope you all are having a great weekend! We only have 2 more  till Christmas, yikes! So much gift buying to do, so little time!

The other day I tried a cafe called Lola for the first time and let me tell you  it should be called “LOVEla” the coffee was that good, I will definitely be going back soon, one of my new favorites!

It’s finally cooling down out here in Arizona so we can finally throw on parka’s, jackets, blazers etc, and still be comfortable instead of burn up like usual! This day I decided to go for a black satin top, and some dark wash Levi’s and jazzed it up a bit with a simple black blazer and my Chanel sunglasses. What I love about this look is that, the core of the outfit was basically a t-shirt and jeans but it still managed to look a little glam when I put it all together! I could throw on converse and wear a leather jacket and have a completely different vibe. I could have a completely different look just by changing a few accessories and I technically wouldn’t be outfit repeating 😉 Here are a few pictures of my outfit!

Love,

Victoria

OCD (obsessive coffee disorder)

Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee (extra whip) on a cloudy gloomy day? I know I do! Its gotta be one of my most frequent indulgences during the fall and winter months. Here’s a few pictures of my cozy day at It’s a Grind. I hope you guys are having a good week, we’re half way through!

I feel most accomplished when I put together an outfit that manages to be as comfortable as it gets and chic at the same time. I can’t think of anything that’s better than cute comfort. It seems to me that a simple chambray shirt, a pair of jeans, a few layered accessories and some lipstick never fails to deliver just that! Yesterday I went out with my girlfriends for a late lunch at popular wine bar in phoenix called Postino’s (excellent bruschetta) we took a couple photos of my outfit so I just wanted to share with you all!
