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!

  20. 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.... :-)
