I like this dress but it does not look flattering in this picture.

I had my post birthday bash last Wednesday at (where else) my favorite wine bar and bistro - The Grape. We had wine tasting featuring Chilean wines and various appetizers. They had set up the tables at the cellar separate from the main bar. I had so much fun! As usual, the food was delish and complemented the wines perfectly!

The setup...

Ahh, that blue looks so gorgeous on you! And I'm loving the F21 accessories!

What lovely restaurant by the way. It looks so inviting and intimate. While I love the brie image, it's the dessert that has me drooling of course (and I'm a bit of a dulce de leche fan). Glad you had such a lovely time!

Hey precious!!
How are you? How was the week?
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on my blog! Sorry for being late in commenting - I will be No 33 :) The week was a little bit tough here.

WOOOOOOW - your blue BCBG dress is magnificent. The cut, the shape, the fabric, the color (ok, I'm in love...). It suits you perfectly! What an amazing color!
You're looking so very beautiful in the pictures!

It looks like you've spend a wonderful evening together!! :-D
That reminds me of something. We had so much things to do that I've forgot about my birthday dinner... And my birthday way two months ago... Argh!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, darling!
