Canterbury Clothiers and Lunch at Edgar's Bakery [Tuscaloosa, Alabama]

A friend recommended to eat at Edgar's Bakery in Tuscaloosa/Northport, and my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised that the price point was great and the quality of food was pretty good too. Dessert choices and taste were awesome.

So that's what the store looks like! Very cute and pretty.

I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich which was delicious.

We got desserts after. We felt like getting something "normal" so my boyfriend got a simple slice of yellow cake with icing and I got myself a dense and delicious brownie.

Oh and that's a new gold feather bracelet I got recently from Francesca's for $7 (there was a BOGO50% off)

I walked into Canterbury Clothiers boutique nearby in that same plaza and I was pleasantly surprised to find brands like Theory, Rag & Bone, Derek Lam, Elizabeth & James, etc. Keep in mind that Tuscaloosa's shopping scene is severely lacking, especially with me coming from Houston where good shopping and great deals are everywhere.

There was even a nice sale rack of 50-75% off. I found a nice white button down dress by Derek Lam but it had a stain on it and I felt like the $200 sale price is steep for something with a stain. Of course that's why it was on sale in the first place, but still. If it was $100 I'd buy it to be honest. It looked rather original with how the bottom pleats were arranged to make a simple white button down more unique. Basically I wanted to buy the whole store.

Needless to say I will return to this store!

What's amazing is that they had a men's section that was just as big and just as amazing as the women's section. They carried Paige denim jeans for men as well. Many different shoes for men's which is unheard of at a boutique. So many Sports Coats in all patterns and colors were available. This store is incredible.

So that's my day! Today was quite good and now I have a new lunch spot to frequent and a store to check out. Exciting!

See y'all later!

Let's Take It Inside

Hello y'all!

I finally have a chance to take some pictures of my outfit, but I had to take it inside my apartment versus doing it outside next to pretty flowers or whatever.

My boyfriend is unable to take pictures of me since he's asleep so I took my tripod to do this indoors, hence the title.

How is everybody doing?

Top: Unknown (10 years old!)

Kimono: Forever 21 (3/23/16 Small only in stock) $28

Shorts: H&M (old)

Shoes: Louise et Cie Hermosah in Black (Nordstrom) $117; purchased used for $35 eBay

Headband: Francesca's Boutique $9

Hopefully I can take some more outfit pictures, but it might just have to be indoors unless I can get my boyfriend to do the pictures.

See y'all later!

Flower Band

Outfit Breakdown

Off the Shoulder Top: Glamorous ($25 ASOS.com)

Shorts: Cotton On ($10 sale)

Sandals: Target ($20)

Flower Crown: Urban Outfitters ($5 sale)

Belt: Urban Outfitters ($10)

Necklace: Unknown brand ($17 Etsy)

We went to The Summit today in Birmingham to eat at Chuy's Tex-Mex Restaurant and it was great! Tasty and the service was awesome. We also went to Urban Outfitters where I got that flower crown I'm wearing in the pictures. Then we went to Bed Bath & Beyond for me to look at a personal hand held steamer since I despise ironing my clothes. I feel like steaming is easier and doesn't require an ironing table/board. 

In addition to those stores we stopped by Riverchase Galleria for me to try to find a hat, but I couldn't find any, so I went back to Urban Outfitters where I was eyeing that was on sale but wanted to check out the mall first before committing to buy one. I will show y'all later what the hat looks like. It's a bright cobalt blue in a felt fabric with a black band. It's good for either summer or winter so it's versatile :) I wanted another hat but it was very summery and I feel like winter will come up too fast for me to even use that hat. Too bad, I kinda really wanted that hat too.

At the end of the day we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant which was pretty tasty, but not on Houston's level of tasty. Still plenty good enough for us to eat though!

Alright that's it! Eventful happy day :)

See you next time!
