First Anniversary the Second

type='html'>When we celebrated our anniversary the past weekend, we spent the night at the most beautiful and well-known luxury hotel in St. Paul.  The hubby knew I'd always wanted to stay there (and never had it remotely in my budget), so he saved up and reserved us a room--isn't that the sweetest?!  Then he took me to an upscale French restaurant within walking distance of our hotel.  What I actually wore that night was this gorgeous vintage 80s-does-50s-does-30s (haha) emerald green cocktail dress...but we were having so much fun together that I totally blanked on taking outfit photos until it was too dark to get any good ones :( 


So instead, I offer photos of the outfit I wore the next morning when we hit up a neighborhood coffee shop for a light lunch before making the grad party circuit for the day.  We snuggled up in bed too long that morning and were kinda in a rush at this point (oops), so these aren't the best photos either (somehow managed a shot that got every part of the scarf that doesn't have the pretty floral pattern)--but you can get the general idea!





By the way, what I ate at that delicious French restaurant will forever remain fondly in my memory.  It was sooooo exquisitely delicious and really delightful to eat 'cause it was plated gourmet style with all those lovely artistic structures of food and drizzles of sauce :)  I had a "Composition of Peas"...a small shot of pea soup with white truffle froth served in a cappucino cup, a tiny short stack of pea pancakes doused in buttery orange and ginger syrup, and five little homemade pea raviolis with dwarf spring vegetables and a light creamy sauce.  Everything was perfectly textured, just melted right into my mouth silky smooth and so rich in flavour!!!  My mouth waters just thinking about it.  Oh that I had gotten photos, silly me!!!
