Birthday Dinner
15 Sep 2011
For my birthday Eric took me out to dinner at La Grande Orange. It’s a lovely little place that is, get this, inside a restored train station. Hard to resist, for someone as obsessed with early train travel as I am 🙂 Actually, Eric and I had an awesome dinner at their sister restaurant next door, The Luggage Room, back in July when we were here looking for an apartment, so I knew it was going to be good!
I loved the cute citrus fruits on the menu.
And their lovely patio!
I wanted to get all dressed up, so I wore this beautiful dress that I got from a clothing swap party last year and had never worn before. I adore shiny things, so the tiny beadwork mesmerizes me:) I think I am going to break this dress out for the next five dressy events I attend!
I bought the earrings on my birthday shopping trip (yay!), and these are my classic Nine West heels. I wish I could wear this dress every day!

Love it! You appear to be off for an evening of adventure in an exotic locale!

Beautiful! Your dress is gorgeous. And when did you start wearing heels like that? Too pretty 🙂

Thank you! Not gonna lie, I mostly wear heels like this when I am know I am not going to have to walk very far: baby steps! 🙂

I have yet to eat at either restaurant!
How is my fav food – Pizza (had some tonite!) – at the Luggage Rm?

Oh, you really must go to the Luggage Room! The pizza is just fantastic! It’s definitely one of our favorite local places 😉
