Two of My Favorite Things

Cocktails and shopping.

Not to mention Cure, Devil May Care, and Kouture.

And sales, and giveaways, and girl time.

Ok so it's all of my favorite things...

It doesn't get much better than this, Rochester:

Now for the really important question:  Who is going with me?

Cocktails and Cuisine on the Patio - Rochester Blogger Network Launch

One week ago today, over forty local bloggers and writers gathered at Napa Wood Fired Pizzeria in the South Wedge to celebrate the launch of the Rochester Blogger Network.  Guests mingled, sipped signature cocktails, and were treated to an exclusive tasting menu created especially for the event.  

The energy on the patio was electrifying - so much local talent in one space.  I loved getting to know all of the bloggers and hear about the different genres and topics that Rochester writers are exploring.  From local happenings to fashion and parenting, to social commentary and tech, there was such a variety of interests represented.  What a great night!

To be able to bring together so many unique voices with so many important things to say was not only inspiring, but humbling as well.  The future is looking awfully bright:  there are so many great things in the works for the Rochester Blogger Network.  This is only the beginning!

As I sit here looking at these photos and thinking back to last week, all I can tell you is that I feel blessed beyond measure, giddy with anticipation for the future, and grateful to be a part of such an amazing community of writers!

I love this city!

Thanks to everyone who came out and for all of your support!

A Roc'n Birthday

Over the weekend, I turned [gasp] 31.  Cough. Cough.

I just kept telling people I was celebrating the tenth anniversary of my 21st birthday.  Ha!  There is something a little unsettling about officially being IN my thirties...but I have to say, 31 isn't looking so bad after all.  

I had the best day celebrating!

I spent the afternoon at Beau Monde Salon and Spa in Victor.  I got a massage with Sonia and then a blow out with Jordan.  Both of them are fantastic.  I'm a repeat customer.  Love, love, love!  They both come highly recommended. 

Here is what I wore for my birthday dinner at the Erie Grill with the hubs:

Get outfit details here.

Here is a close up of my fab 1940s-inspired 'do by Jordan.  He rocks.

Fast forward to dinner...

Here I am enjoying some complimentary bubbly at the Erie Grill.  See that smile?  That's the face of someone who was just given a pretty spectacular spa-day gift card for the Spa at the Delmonte by her fantastic husband.  Can't wait to use that baby!

It was our first time dining at the Erie Grill and we were really impressed with everything.  The atmosphere was great.  We enjoyed a drink at the bar as we watched the sun set over the canal.  The food was some of the best I've had in Rochester.  Everything I ate was delicious - the beet salad was spectacular, the cioppino to-die-for, and the flour-less chocolate cake was pure heaven.  The Erie Grill is definitely being added to our ever-growing list of favorite restaurants in Rochester.

So, yeah, I might be getting old, but at least I'm doing it with style and discovering all the best that Rochester has to offer!

PS- This is what my hair looked like the next day:

Not too shabby huh?  You seriously need to schedule a blowout with Jordan.  He's the best.  And his shampoos - well, you'll just have to experience one to know what I mean ;)
