Prada or Nada

Happy Sunday! So I found a fabulous pair of Prada espadrilles on sale at Neiman Marcus.  They are canvas and neutral color (of course, as I don't wear a lot of color - if you haven't noticed) and super easy to rock that chill look.

Food-goddess Review: Jean- Georges at the Waldorf Astoria

The Waldorf Astoria has finally arrived in Beverly Hills! Situated right on the edge of Century City with the Peninsula almost across the street and the Beverly Hilton right next door. I decided to check out Jean-Georges restaurant inside the Waldorf for my birthday back in June as I love hotel restaurants and bars, but I must admit, I wasn't that impressed. Now, it had been open just under a week when I was there so things could have changed, but for being a world renowned restaurant I expected much more!

Dining Room Vibe

I went out about 7pm and it was a bit of an older crowd, as most of us 20-30 year olds, would be upstairs at the rooftop bar. However, it was very elegant.

Tuna TarTar & Mojito

The TunaTar & Mojito were delicious  

Black Cod

The black cod was a bit bland 

Chocolate Soufflé

My Birthday souffle was melt in your mouth amazing 

Overall, I would give it about 3.5 stars, but I will be back to check out the rooftop! I have been to the Waldorf in New York as I used to live in NY, however, it is currently under renovation and would love to see how it compares to the one in LA, once complete.

On another note, LA is trying very hard to be New York. With the addition of the Waldorf Astoria, the opening of Tao, Beauty & Essex, and the Dream Hotel - I will get to that in another post, so stay tuned. They are also really building up the Century City area with the 800 million dollar renovation of the Century City Mall and the new luxury condos with robots at Ten Thousand.

Stay tuned for more!

My Fave Shoes of the Summer (and no they're not sandals)

Life is Gucci.

Well we can thank Gucci (well the creative director, Alessandro Michele) for making Gucci happen again. When you have all the fashion influencers and rappers decked out in Gucci, you know its a Gucci Revolution. Now I'm sure you've seen the Gucci Princetown Slippers at least once a day scrolling thru your Instagram feed or even (in my case) walking thru Beverly Hills. I must say I definitely got my money's worth from them as I'm wear them at least 1-2 a week, and am legit DYING for another pair. I have the original black leather ones, as I don't wear a lot of color. Once the classic horse-bit leather flew off the shelves, Gucci started to release more colors, more prints, some with fur, some suede, and more. In addition, Givenchy and Hermes came out with there own form of the shoe; confirming that this was the shoe trend of the summer! Usually black shoes are to heavy on my foot as I'm very petite, but not these.

On my wishlist:

On another note: I walked into the Gucci store on Rodeo the other day as I wanted the double G buckle belt to match, and as I ventured over to the belts, she goes "don't even ask, we don't have the belt in any small sizes and there is a waitlist" - I mean a waitlist for a belt, thats crazy! Then I overhead someone ask if they have anything on sale, and the sales associate responded, "we don't do sales anymore because we don't need to" - which is beyond true.
