Tory Burch Spring Summer 2011 Collection

By | Fashion, Summer, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

For Spring 2011 we thought about what felt natural and the most relevant to us right now. We focused on what makes women look and feel beautiful, on easy dressing and the idea of elegant sportif. Silhouettes are clean and simple, with a nod to the 70s. Jackets and blouses are tailored but loose; pants are either cropped and slim or long and wide; skirts hit mid-calf, a new length for us. The color palette is inspired by nature—bright pops of yellow, red and blue played against earth tones and blush.

Accessories reflect this laidback spirit with oversized jute and Nantucket bags and bright, boxy leather looks. Shoes are a mix of jute platforms, woven heels and leather sandals.

 Jewelry includes gold hoop earrings, snake bangles and bold necklaces.

Pancake House Breakfast

By | Yummy! | 4 Comments

James goes to Pancake House around 3 to 4 times a week to have breakfast!  It’s his “alone time” where he can relax, start the day, read his newspaper and eat his favorite pancake.  It’s rare that he invites me to come along, but when he does invite me, I join once in awhile 🙂

img_7170.jpgimg_7171.jpg

He eats the same thing every single time he goes and it’s the chocolate marble waffle or pancake! He has to have it with peanut butter.  He shares it with me and it’s YUMMY!

Of course James has his orange card!

Japanese Chocolates and Snacks

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | One Comment

More new Japanese items!!!  

I love it how the Japanese package their products so well!! This item for example….

img_5589.JPG

When you open it, there are small packages like this inside – I think 10 to 12 packs.  So you don’t have to worry if you don’t eat the whole box!  Just open and eat what you can 🙂 

img_7677.JPG

Everyone loved this when we opened this.  It’s lenguas de gato with a cream filling in between!!! YUMMY!!!  It’s individually packed inside as well 

img_5594.jpg

Like an ice cream cone!!! Comes in chocolate and strawberry! 

img_6451.jpg

Love Pocky!!! These sticks you can eat alone or add them to your ice cream or desserts!!!
