jason park! this one's for you: trendy, super affordable asian (fusion?) restaurant on granville and 64th. entrees come with soup of the day, they have a wide selection of bubble teas with the option of mango stars in lieu of the commonplace black tapioca bubbles, and i particularly enjoyed a grilled salmon dish that was moist, delicious, and under $10. in fact, we ordered four plates to feed the five of us, and even with three bubble teas and the fancy mango stars, our total was seriously $50. this restaurant is such a find. not only that, but i got to eat off my very favorite plate that you can barely see in the photo above - brown on the outside, blue on the inside, with intentional crackling.

a dress for the rehearsal dinner

DSC_0423i thought with the final decision on the bridesmaid dress, we`d seen the last of my dress orgies...but i was wrong. there are more dresses in the world for me to try on! and it turns out that andrew is a pretty darn good photographer! this blueish-green one is perhaps even more stunning in this photo than when i tried it on. the color is gorgeous and not garish, and the yellowy-peach details go so well with my skin tone. in the end i chose a dress that i'm going to save for a surprise. it's totally me, and it's going to be custom made to my size! i've never had anything like that before. so a big thank you to andrew's mom for what's going to be the sweetest and best fitting dress i've ever owned.

finally! a dress in a store that`s my size. it even fits around my butt perfectly - ignore the one inch thick underwear line - they`re my super comfy american eagle undies.
