Little Bobby

You probably already know about it. But just in case you don't....Petit Robert is fabulous. It's been a favorite of mine for a few years but I just went back for the first time in a while. We usually go to the one in Kenmore Square but there are two more locations. Check out their website: www.petitrobertbistro.com/

OK, let's talk about food! My favorite thing on the menu is the Trio of Pates. It comes with mustard and teeny pickles. The three pates are each different and taste fantastic on the piping hot baguettes the servers keep bringing. The bread is also great dipped in the garlicky oil the escargot are cooked in.

Entrees are just as good, but the best part is that they are all under $17 with most around $14. It's nice to know that even if you're trying to watch your money you can still go out for a fancy French dinner.

Also, it's not just the frugals who love the little bobby. Last time we were there, who walks in but Larry Lucchino.

And make it sparkly....

For the holidays I love the idea of pairing something simple (jeans and a white t-shirt) with something with sparkle. This gold jacket has a sequin and pearl trim.



Another easy and chic holiday look is parking a simple black turtleneck with big shiny earrings or a pretty headband.


Thank you, Mom, for the dress form. I love it! You can still see the bubble wrap in came in on the floor. I couldn't wait to use it!

Vogue likes blazers too!
