For a comfy, edgy, summer look, I layered theUrban Outfitters Urban Renewal Vintage Cutoff Overalls (no longer available online) over the Urban Outfitters' Kimchi Blue Lace Bralette in cream ($16) over it all, I put an Urban Outfitters Staring at Stars plaid blouse (no longer available). On my feet are high socks with Steven by Steve Madden gold studded black utility boots (no longer available).
I loved this look because it was fun, and edgy, which are my favorite clothing combinations.

Good Eats: Bermuda!
Every summer, my family and I take a trip to Bermuda. Every single time, I fall more and more in love with the amazing food on the island. Fine dining is one of Bermuda's most famous attributes. During my most recent visit a couple of bites stood out to me:
The Fairmont Southampton Princess Resort & Spa's Ocean Club Restaurant is the home of these Grilled Fish Tacos that were so tasty, I couldn't help but devour them. The Ocean Club Restaurant has a superb ambiance, settled next to the rocks overlooking the caribbean sea. Inside the tacos is grilled fillet of Mahi Mahi, alongside a simple tomato salsa, sour cream, and pickled cucumbers. Another appetizer that was delicious here was the Tuna Tartare (not pictured). If there is tuna tartare on a menu, it will no doubt be ordered by me! This tuna tartare was harissa spiced, with mangos and avocados and toasted flatbread on the side....my mouth is watering just thinking of it.
Another fantastic Bermuda favorite is the Four Ways Inn, "the Premier Fine Dining location in Bermuda." Pictured above is the Fourways Sampling showcasing tiny bites of four of Four Ways' delicious appetizers which include a Carpaccio of Angus Beef with Parsley Pesto, Maine Lobster Salad with Mango Dressing, Roasted Beetroot, Fennel & Goat Cheese Salad, and Escargot in Garlic Cream Sauce on Brioche. (I'm a sucker for a classic escargot!) If you are planning to visit, a must have is the Fourways Veal Classic which is an escalope of Veal Tenderloin in a Lemon & Lime Butter Sauce and served with Parmesan Potato Roll & Grilled Vegetables...it's something you can't miss!!
Last, but certainly not least, is the Harbourfront Restaurant & Komodaru Sushi Lounge minutes from Bermudas main city of Hamilton. For dinner I decided to be adventurous and try their Venison Ravioli. The dish consists of Homemade Ravioli filled with Venison and served on a wild boar ragout with parmesan cheese and black summer truffle. (anything with truffle must be fantastic). Having never tried Venison, I was unsure of what to expect but it was wonderful! I admired the creativity in this dish greatly, and the taste was amazing as well.
Although they can get pricey, Bermuda has some of the best restaurants that I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. If you ever have the opportunity, go! And with an empty stomach and full wallet you will not be disappointed.
