Sunny n Blue

Last month, I was invited to Amanda's aka Feast.Fashion.Faves birthday dinner at nfuse Kitchen & Bar at the Anaheim Marriott. Kimberly and I came fashionably late. We may have been taking outfit photos . We were greeted by a sleek and modern lobby and walked to new nFuse Kitchen & Bar - a comfortably modern bar, social lounge and restaurant for business or social gatherings. We heard loud giggles and found Amanda's party seated in a private area of the restaurant. I loved the cactus Arizona inspired theme with cacti decor on the wall for photos and cacti plants on the table. It was great trying out the nFuse menu, thanks to Blaze PR .

By the way, I loved the Rosy Glow so much and bought it. It's my favorite blush to give me rosy cheeks.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last month at Pueblo . I wore something cute yet casual for our rare date night.

When your honeymoon was in Spain it's only right to celebrate your anniversary with Spanish tapas - specifically a new restaurant at SOCO Costa Mesa called Pueblo . Hubby and I read great reviews of this spot in Westways so we were dying to try it out. The service and food did not disappoint. It also helped that I had a tinto De  Verona, my fave drink in Spain , to start. Cheers The beautiful bar Queso Fundido was complimentary and perfect starter to go with our drinks. Made with fava beans.  Lamb meatballs were on point. I'm not usually a fan of lamb but I loved this. No Spanish tapas is complete without Gambas Al Ajillo. When we were in Spain for my honeymoon, this was my go to food because I was pescatarian at that time. I loved that this one included lots of garlic for a garlic lover like me. Seared ahi salad with marcona almonds. So fresh and so lovely! A rose for a summer night, of course. Wearing new Gena Myint brac

My brother told me about a Japanese ramen spot in Costa Mesa. He told me that they had really good ramen and chicken katsu curry for the kids. We checked it out recently. I love the vibe of the restaurant. Regular and communal tables plus good service. Hubby got the TONKOTSU KOTTERI while I ordered the SPICY TONKOTSU. The first one had awesome garlic flavor and you can also ask for garlic to add more. My spicy ramen was yummy and I loved the sliced pork with it. I definitely recommend this spot! The plus is is they are right next to Confetti Ice for dessert too. More info: Yelp link
