I was trying to do this ombre manicure, but I failed terribly and ended up getting almost the same colors on my nails...

Quattro

RV bought this Travelzoo deal for dinner at Quattro, so we decided to try it this weekend. Reviews in Yelp is so-so, so we don't have big expectations. 

The restaurant is located inside Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto. The hotel is really nice and I love the decor inside the restaurant. It's very casual with some big TVs  around the restaurant.

The voucher we have includes 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and 2 glasses of sparkling wine for both of us. After ordering, the server served us breads; one is kinda' garlic-ky and the other is just a plain white bread.

My appetizer is the veal carpaccio. I don't usually like rare meats, but this one is slightly cooked and tasted okay, so I enjoyed it.

RV got the seafood salad. This definitely tasted better! But RV said it tasted like airlines foods ("__")'

For entrees we got rib eye and grouper. The foods are just okay. I wish both have more seasonings, but it's not that bad.

My favorites were the desserts! RV loved the desserts too! We got tiramisu and italian donuts with dark chocolate and salty caramel dippings. *love*

Bottom line, we don't think we're coming back. It's too pricey for the kind of foods we got. I heard they have Sunday Supper deal which is better deal than the Travelzoo coupon, so if you want to try eating here, that might be a good option for you.

When the tip of your nail chips...

...put some glitters on top :)

J.crew Tillary Tote

It's finally here! I've been contemplating on this bag for a while. I already have Celine micro in black smooth leather and I feel that this would be too similar. But I love the color on this and when it went on sale, of course I just can't resist!

J.Crew Tillary Tote in Canvas/Leather Combo

I love that this bag has so many compartments. There's a zipped compartment inside, a cell phone holder and another pocket beside it. Both of the flap in front and back can also be opened which would reveal another pocket.

Chanel Rose Paradise

I just bought a new top coat! My favorite top coat so far....Butter London Top Coat. It dries really fast and it's not bubbling! <3
