Brunchy Brunch Brunch


What I'm wearing:
*Ellen Tracy Button Down Shirt
*J.Crew Argyle Sweater Dress
*H&M Black Tights
*Target Kachiri Boots in Taupe
*Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini Bag in Brown
*Forever 21 Reading Glasses Necklace
*Michael Kors Glitz Chronograph Watch in Rose Gold

So this weekend I finally got to try out Peels, a brunch spot that I've been dying to go to! Like I've mentioned before, brunch is definitely my favorite weekend activity. I love relaxing with some girlfriends, drinking cocktails, eating yummy food, and not having to rush through (like on weekday lunches).

This is me waiting for our table, I couldn't stop staring at the pastry case.

Look at those yummy goodies! I may have to go back to try their brown butter rice krispie treats and their homemade graham crackers.

The food at Peels is southern comfort, and I decided I was in the mood for a country ham and cheese buttermilk biscuit. It was absolutely delicious! (And went nicely with my Bloody Mary.)

Part of the bar upstairs. I love the ceilings there! The whole place was so airy and full of light, it was a very pleasant place to sit and chat. 

I love argyle. It always makes me feel uber preppy, but I love it!

    You look so cute Rosa!

    Peels is our go-to brunch spot. LOVE their build-a-biscuits. Word on the street is it's so fun there at night too.

    Oh my god that place looks delicious! I will have to try it. Have you been to Penelope's yet? It's at Lex/30th and it's my favorite brunch place.

    Your outfit is so cute! I love the necklace, and argyle is one of my favorites. My little preppy heart is happy.

    Ahhh! That is me screaming because your J. Crew Dream Argyle jumper is at the top of my list of MUST HAVES that I didn't get. I had it in my hand too and now I scour Craigslist and Ebay for one. :-( Your outfit is lovely and yes, I too I am obsessed with P & P and Colin Firth and Love Actually.... :-)
