Eating in a Chinese Restaurant

I have loved Chinese food all my life. Well, the type of Chinese food you can get in Minnesota anyway.

When I was in high school my friends and I would have lunch at the Minneapolis Nankin as often as we shopped downtown (often I have to say) and I always felt so grown-ass womanlike sitting on the balcony with a little delightful teacup and teapot sitting on our table while I ate pork chow mein and crunched on egg rolls.

Minneapolis Nankin 1958

The whole experience, every time, would make me feel seriously grownup and I would take my little paper box home with me and eat the leftovers directly out of the box like I had seen in movies shot in New York where all New Yorkers could order takeout (there was no such thing as Chinese delivery when I was in high school)

My momma loved to eat at the House of Wong in St. Paul (the website says Roseville, which is technically true). She and I ate there hundreds of times and when my girls got old enough I took them there with us.

I had a girlfriend when I was in my 20s and she and I would meet for lunch there every week. We both worked nights at the time and it was a great way to catch up and have leftovers to bring to work. In a little paper box.

When my mom was so sick back in 2004 I would bring take out from House of Wong to her house in North Branch, Minnesota on most Sundays and we would eat out of the little paper boxes. So good. Some really good memories for me now that she is gone.

Not much to look at on the outside, but awesomeness on the inside.

We still go there and now it's Pup and his momma I drag with me. Momma Betty loves her some chicken chow mein and Pup is a big fan of their turkey dinner. I know, I know. He isn't a fan of Chinese so Momma B and I are happy he has something to eat when we go there.

Last night Pup, Momma Betty, Lorenzo, and I headed out. It had been planned for a week or so, but I was thinking all week, "what will I order??" Let's face it, Chinese isn't the best choice when you're starting a new and whole food approach to your eating.

I poked around the menu a while and found that egg foo yong isn't a bad choice at all. Made of mostly vegis and eggs it seemed perfect. I had a bit of rice along with it as well. Stayed away from the fried rice (which I'd arm wrestle you for normally).

Came away from the experience with a full tummy and a guilt-free mind. And a little paper box.

OBSESSION & INSPIRATION: COLLAR

How are you doing guys?

It's been really chaotic around here, I have a lot of obligations, but of course I find some time to blog. :)

I have noticed that many bloggers, including myself (this is my newest obsession, last one was WHITE SHIRT), are completely crazy about the collars. They are amazing piece that can complement any, even the simplest combination. It really looks great combined with a sweater, but you can wear in many ways - it's important to find the one that suits you best.

I found some that we are simply fantastic, some you can do it yourself if you are a bit creative. I also own them, one's glitter from Abataba, which I won and the other one I made myself.

Kako ste stylish people?

Kod mene je prilično kaotično, imam puno obaveza, ali naravno da nađem malo vremena za bloganje. :)

Primijetila sam da su mnogi blogeri, uključujući mene (zadnja opsesija bila je bijela košulja - WHITE SHIRT) potpuno ludi za ovratnicima. Odličan su detalj koji može razigrati svaku, pa i najjednostavniji kombinaciju. Izgledaju sjajno ukombinirano uz džemper, ali i možete nositi na bezbroj načina, odnosno pronaći onaj koji vama najbolje odgovara.

Pronašla sam neke koji su mi naprosto fantastični, neke možete napraviti i sami ako ste imalo kreativni. Ja ih također imam, jedan je šljokavi Abataba, koji sam dobila kao giveaway, a drugi sam sama napravila. Sigurno će se naći još koji.^^

These are awesome, aren't they?

So, that's all from me this time, enjoy the photos! Kiss.

....stay fabulous!

This was a huge trend on the runways, of course: Fall 2011- LV, Giambattista Valli, Marc Jacobs.

FitFluential

Congratulate me! I am one of the latest Ambassadors to the newest brainchild of fitness blogger Kelly Olexa, FitFluential.

This is what the website says about FitFluential:

FitFluential is a nationwide network of fitness enthusiasts sharing their journey both online and offline through multiple social media platforms. Founded in April of 2011 by Kelly Olexa, FitFluential was designed to connect health and wellness brands with their ideal target market through customized, long-term experiential and contextual marketing campaigns.

Kelly asked me to be part of this group a couple of weeks ago and I was not only flattered, I was excited! I've been stumbling and tumbling along on my fitness/health quest for the LONGEST time and I am thrilled to be a part of a resource to assist me and others on this quest.

I'm fielding my way through what it means to be a part of this new family and I'd love it if you guys would share your fitness stories with me. Leave your cliff notes version in the comments section. Or share whatever it is that you do to keep your fitness and health at a level you like.

I'm hoping that my 50-something take on a fitness journey can help some of us that are in a similar age grouping. There are so many young uns out there that we of a certain age need some help and guidance as well. Or at least a story that we can relate to!

I'll be telling my story on my other blog, but will, of course, be blogging updates right here on Fashion Plate.

Okay now, come on and give me smooches. I'm going to need every one of them.

Sunday at the Chez Emerson

It was a good week.

I discovered I loved My Week with Marilyn and hated Contraband.

I discovered nothing is quite as delicious as a Maker's Mark Old Fashioned.

I added a few things to my list.

I crossed a few things off my list.

I bought a few things.

I donated a few things.

I hugged.

I cried.

I laughed.

I organized.

I procrastinated.

All in all, just another week.

SPRING/SUMMER 2012. BAGS

(GUCCI)

After spring/summer 2012 shoes it's time to show you how designers envisioned bags for this season…

If you remember ss 2012 shoes I showed you in my last post you'll know that designers were very imaginative and tried to inject a bit of haute couture in everyone's wardrobe. Bags, however, are very functional and wearable this year. Aside from neon colors, earthy and neutral tones are must have for following summer.

…hugs and kisses by Mani.

Nakon što sam vam pokazao cipele za proljeće 2012-e godine vrijeme je i za torbe. Ako se sjećate mojeg izbora u prošlom postu sigurno ćete se sjetiti da su dizajneri bili jako kreativni i nastojali su unijeti malo visoke mode u svačiji ormar. Torbe su, međutim, jako funkcionalne i nosive ove godine. Osim neonskih boja, zemljani i neutralni tonovi su MUST HAVE za predstojeće ljeto.
