The Beauty of Food at C. 1880 - Milwaukee

My husband and I just celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary and every year we try a new restaurant.  Well, he had heard amazing reviews about c.1880 so we figured this would be the perfect occasion!

This meal was amazing.  We savored every bit and the prices were extremely reasonable for the high quality of food and preparation that was put into each dish!  Unfortunately, we didn't have any room left for dessert, which of course was tempting from their large array of choices.  It was definitely a perfect, quaint restaurant for an intimate dinner.  The atmosphere was incredibly inviting and I loved the old map of Milwaukee dating back to the year 1880.  It was a excellent combination of perfect service, atmosphere and amazing food!

Hounds Tooth and Cobalt Blue, My Love

My love for autumn pretty much relies upon my love for fall fashion!  It brings out all those adorable coats, sweaters and skirts we are unable to layer in the summer heat.  My husband and I attended a wedding rehearsal and dinner for a couple near and dear to our hearts this weekend and wow was the weather beautiful: sunny for the most part, a little bit of rain, but that's good luck, right?

Here's a High Five for Friday!

What better way to start a Friday morning while catching up on work than with coffee!
