There's something about brunch food that just holds a special place in my heart. Something about the time of day and the type of food you eat just also makes it 100 times better than Lunner. But then again, I think it's just the breakfast food part of the mix that really does it for me. 

Anyways, lately I've been brunching. Twice. In two days. But then again, if I had the choice and could support my addiction financially, I would probably have brunch every single day. 

I got the Asado, which has got peppers and chimichurri beef on top of a grilled ciabatta, and arugula and onions and peppers on the other piece. And then that little bowl in the middle has a blue potato salad. 

I really enjoyed my meal as well, minus the potato salad, but I definitely much preferred his meal. Those short ribs doe,...

For drinks I decided to try their Root Beer Float. It comes with earnest ice cream, but it was only okay. For 7 dollars.. I wasn't impressed. 

What's most memorable for me about Jethro's is definitely their pancakes. You can either get a half stack which comes with two pancakes, or a full stack which is 4. 

Doesn't seem like a lot when you just read about it, but these pancakes aren't your typical pancakes.

These pancakes are the fluffiest, most yummy pancakes you'll ever have. 

I mean just LOOOK at how fat and fluffy they are. UNF. 

Their honestly the best pancakes I've ever had. I prefer them greatly over the classic thin pancakes that is usually served at breakfast places. 

The other dish I ordered (that I order at ever brunch place as long as it's on the menu) is the Eggs Benedict. 

I need you guys to understand, I've had a lot of eggs benedicts in my short 19 years of life. I LITERALLY will order it where ever I am as long as it's an option. Like you do not understand my love for eggs bennies. 

And I will always order a plain, classic one. No crazy Santa Fe bennie for me, no. I will never change it up LOL. Just a classic bennie for me please. 

The eggs bennie at Jethro's is pretty good. I like the ham that they use with it, as well as the fact that the egg is poached just enough so that the yolk is still runny when you cut into it. SO PERFECT. Their hollandaise sauce is also classic and delicious if you were wondering. 

I LOVE their potatoes. They are amazing. Some places mess up the potatoes sometimes and it makes me angry because it is an essential part of a eggs benedict dish for me. 

Our table full of eggs bennies. 

Honestly, I highly recommend you checking out both of these places. Jethro's more so, just because it's a reasonable price for AMMMAZING brunch food. But Medina Cafe as well. Both of them have great vibes to them. Different , but both awesome. and both well worth checking out. 

I'll leave both their websites here so you can check them out.

So all of the above pictures happened in one night. The night started out as a planned girls night. Cathleen, Kimmi and I (shown in the bottom right picture) decided to go out to Nero's and grab some waffles for dessert. And then some how we ended up going to Celebs nightclub for a bit. Hence the pink lighting in that same picture. I was NOT planning to go out that night especially since I had work the next morning. BUT after dropping Kimmi off at home because she needed to get home, Cathleen and I were already in the mood for clubbing sooooo we went to Fortune Sound club . LOL. 

That's where the bottom left picture comes into play. One of our friends was DJing there for this event he created called Rap Book Club. He was playing all J.Cole songs that night. And the icing on top of the cake? Mr. Carmack was also playing at fortune, so it ended up being a bomb ass night. 

Oh and the dude in the top right picture is my favorite bouncer EVER. His name is Teddy and I adore him. 

I promise I'll get some review posts and what not soon ! 

Love you guys so much, 

Have you ever walked by the corner of W4th ave and Yew St., and seen this adorable cafe that's always busy and all decked out in the prettiest turquoise colour? 

That would be the 49th Parallel cafe.

During the day time, the huge windows all along two of their walls give the cafe a gorgeous, bright, airy feel. Every time I've encountered it during the day time, it was very busy. 

I also came here once when it was night time, and it was quite the opposite. A lot less busy, it gave off a nice cozy feel to it. 

 The first time I had one of their drinks was actually when my friend bought me a cup of their Venezuelan Coffee to go. 

It. Was. Delicious. 

To be fair though, I don't think I can give the best advice on coffee just because I'm not really a true coffee drinker. 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE coffee. I need at least a cup everyday. 

But I'm one of those coffee drinkers that takes their coffee with lots of cream and even more sugar. Now you may say that people just take their coffee differently, but to me, I feel like the true coffee lovers are the ones that take it black. 

So whether you want to take my word for it, it's totally up to you. But holy mother of god, it's soooo good. 

But be warned, it is quite a sweet coffee beverage.

The description on the menu says something along the lines of "carmelized milk reduction, espresso, textured milk" 

Check out their website here : http://sh.st/i0hKH

Another night that we went out is for ManHei's birthday ! (she's the girl on the left beside me). We ended up going to Kobe for her birthday dinner and then to Joe's Apartment for clubbing. 

More pictures with the birthday girl!

And then of course a classic Cora, Cat, and Angel picture. 

1. Popping bottles at Venue. Thank the lord for wealthy friends :b

2. Sleeping in a bed of clouds :3 I actually love waking up to that giant bright window. 

3. Brunch at Acme. this is there fritata styled eggs benedict. Very different , but still delicious. 

4. I made dinner for my friends once. It was a thai styled yellow curry chicken on rice, and then of course a nice glass of Barefoot Moscato.

1. Sushi Maru's Spicy Salmon Sashimi.... oh my god go and try it. it's the Sushi Maru on Oak and 49th. 

2. Homemade breakfast. There was a while where I was waking up really early, and because all my classes were in the afternoon, it gave me time to actually get up and make a delicious and nutritious breakfast for myself !

3. Here's usually what I include in my breakfast 

4. And then, of course, another eggs benedict. This one was from a little cafe down close to English Bay on Davie and Bidwell. I think it was called the red umbrella or something? anyways, it was pretty damn delicious as well. I don't know if you've realized yet but I LOVE breakfast. ESPECIALLY eggs benedict.... mmm yum. 

Hope you guys had a great Autumn. 

The most basic bitch of desserts but SO. DAMN. GOOD. This is the pumpkin spice cheesecake from the restaurant I work at (Cactus Club Cafe). 

It's a seasonal dessert, so go check it out before it's gone !

Got off school early today, and my bestfriend and I decided to go explore our city a little. I brought my camera so I can capture our Thirsty Thursday adventures. 

This is our gorgeous Gastown. This place still impresses me every time I visit. I love walking down Water st. during the fall and winter time. It's the way the lights twinkle in the trees, and the antique-y feel of the street lamps... it all just sums up to the coziest holiday vibe. 

Okay, I had to take a picture of this. LAMBORGHINI MERCY, YOUR CHICK SHE'S SO THIRSTY(thursdays). 

Went to visit Gaulder's Mews and Blood Alley. The history of Gastown is so rich and amazing. 

FACT : there used to be jail house in the area, and prisoners were actually executed near by. So the combination of the deaths, and the butchers that would poor buckets of blood down the alley, this alley is named for good reason. 

So because this blog is usually about beauty and fashion and all that jazz, thought I would give you guys a little ootd. 

Sweater : thrifted

Lace Shorts : China

Green Socks : Ardenes

Bootes : Just Fab

Bag : Zara 

And then Bae and I discovered an amazing little hole in the wall called Gringo. If you ever are in Vancouver or you live in Van, you should definitely go check it out. It's in Blood Alley Square. (google it)

and of course, to honour Thirsty Thursday, I had to get myself a lovely alcoholic beverage. (you can tell I don't drink very often just by the fact that I call drinks "alcoholic beverages") 

Anyways, this lovely number is called the Michelada. It's Lager, Tomato and Lime Juice, and a Chili Salt Rim. Pretty yummy. Caesars are one of my favourites so this was purrrrfect. 

and then for food, I got this awesome little deal. Quesadillas and Mexi Rice for 9 bucks. SO good. The Quesadillas are so delicious and heavenly cheesy. And the Mexi Rice ... PERFECTLY seasoned. it was cheap & delicious food heaven.  GO THERE. NOW. 

And then of course walking through vancouver, we had to visit at least ONE head shop. BUT FOR REALS. LOOK AT THESE FUCKING BONGS. WHAT. 

I'll leave you guys with a picture of the view I have when I am waiting for the bus. 

Can you guess which intersection I'm on? 

Until next time lovers,
