Belated Bday at Dos Caminos

Yesterday, I celebrated my belated birthday (my birthday was last Sunday) with the girls! We decided to have brunch at Dos Caminos - amazing food & friendly staff. We started off with tortilla chips + guacamole and salsas (spicy, medium, mild) and paired it with the complimentary prickly pear margaritas. I personally didn't like it & gave mine to two of my other friends to split. We were seated outdoors & the weather was absolutely beautiful while we were there.

Then came out our entrees. I had the breakfast quesadilla with a side of fresh fruit. Sooo good! They really do give you a large portion so I ended up finishing the fruit and half of my entree; I took the rest to go.
After, we decided to check out the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a LONG line just to check out that one exhibit - it was a 45 minute wait for us. However, I thought it was spectacular! We walked through several collections & themes - my favorites were the one inspired by Tim Burton which mixed darkness and romanticism, and the one inspired by the British anarchy. There was just something so edgy yet, for a lack of a better term, romantic about the looks. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take photos since they were prohibited but if you're in the New York area, it's definitely worth the visit (just try not to go on the weekend - crowds are crazy)!
Then, we went to the rooftop. The Met usually has pieces of art or sculptures on the roof & they change it every so often so we decided to see what they had to showcase now. To be honest, it wasn't that interesting. Compared to past displays, this wasn't as great. However, the rooftop is one of my favorite views of the city. Above is a photo of all of us. I wish I brought my sunglasses! I'm the only one who forgot them at home, haha, but I still love that pic.

So the world didn't end like some people believed, but my world surely stopped for a bit yesterday. I realized when I got home that my wallet was missing! Luckily, nothing valuable or important were in it -- it was new though. I just switched things from my old wallet to my new wallet yesterday morning so it didn't have much in it. (So I'm pretty much more upset that I didn't get more use out of my new wallet lol). I only remember taking it out once, but I know I put it back in. I didn't need to use it throughout the rest of the day so I didn't realize until I was at home. Fortunately, I was able to cancel my credit cards & replace my ID and that no one has attempted to use my cards. I have a feeling it either fell out of my bag or someone just took it; I was in so many crowded/packed places that day, it could have been anything.

So, tell me, how's your weekend going? What were you doing around the predicted time of the end of the world? lol

The Royal Wedding

Who watched the Royal Wedding?! I woke up at 4AM EST to watch this magical event - so many channels to choose from but I settled on NBC w/ the Today show; Kate (oh excuse me, I mean Duchess Catherine) looked divine! But first let me talk about a few of the other guests.It would have been nice if Princess Diana was there. No doubt she would have looked fabulous, but it did seem like she was there in spirit. Victoria Beckham looked stunning and polished especially with that sleek ponytail, and David Beckham looked quite dashing. I love the way he styled his hair - they're definitely one of my favorite stylish couples. Samantha Cameron, the Prime Minister's wife, I believe was in Burberry, although I was surprised she was not wearing a hat! Also, people on Twitter were tweeting about Pippa's gown, also from McQueen. I thought she should have worn it in a different color other than white though, but she did look pretty. Carole Middleton looked lovely in powder blue. And James Middleton! He's actually hotter than I realized!
Kate is beautiful no matter what but she was gorgeous in that Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress. It was very Grace Kelly. For those who know me, you know how much I love sweet heart necklines and laced sleeves -- I'm a little disappointed because I was dreaming of a dress like that for my future wedding, and now there's going to be a million brides-to-be probably going after the same look. Anyway, the style suited her perfectly - it seemed very classy Kate. She also did her own makeup.
I was close to tears when she entered Westminster Abbey because the whole ceremony was so beautiful. Kate wanted it to be like an English Garden, which explains the trees. I wanted to see more flowers but it definitely seemed more modern that way. Apparently, Harry whispered to William, "Wait 'til you see her" as Kate was making her way down the aisle. Then, William was seen telling Kate, "You look beautiful" as she arrived; so sweet!
The balcony kiss was so quick, it was almost a peck. However, they did give us a second kiss (still short, but a second kiss nonetheless). Overall, it truly seemed like I was watching a fairy tale happening live. Congrats to the now Duke & Duchess of Cambridge! (Although they're Prince and Princess in my mind, just because I like those titles better :P .) What were your thoughts on the Royal Wedding?
