J Brand Denim – Love Story – Dark Vintage

Nicole Here:

I am so excited to introduce you all to my favorite J Brand Denim Styles!  Im starting off with the J Brand Love Story.  This is going to help make you look LONG & SKINNY ... it is a low rise - and probably better for those of you with a straighter figure... don't worry dear curvy ladies, I have the right fit for you ... but right now we are focusing on J Brand's Love Story in Ink.

Just a little History:

722 Love Story in Dark Vintage - Lightweight Denim

Same great fit as the original Lovestory but in our Lightweight Fabric, the slim fit all the way through the knee and the feminine waistband give these jeans dramatic curves. Wear them with pointed-toed shoes - throw on a big necklace, aviator shades, and you're off.

  • Low-Rise
  • 22-Inch Leg Opening
  • 35-Inch Inseam

Sunday Supper Club at Soluna Grill

I had the privilege last night of attending Soluna Grill's Sunday Supper Club. Sunday Supper Club is a once monthly five course dinner pared with 4-5 wines.

Everything was amazing and I tried some new foods .... Sweet bread for one "Sweetbreads or ris are culinary names for the thymus (throat sweetbread) and the pancreas (heart or stomach sweetbread), especially of the calf (ris de veau) and lamb (ris d'agneau) (although beef and pork sweetbreads are also eaten)."  Luckily I asked not to be told what part it was until after I ate it - and boy was it delicious!

We also met some great people.  We found out a lot about Blackbird Wineshop and will definitely be hitting up Blackbird for their atomic truffles ...YUM!

Check out the 5 courses we got to try:

Saturday Mornings
Wild leek "oeufs a la creme" with duck confit and sunchoke hash

What? Raw Fish!
Yellowtail carpaccio with yuzu gelee, sweet soy,
crispy shiso

It's Not Sweet and it's not Bread
Veal sweetbreads with celery root puree, savoy cabbage and Hungarian bacon

Sack Lunch
Kobe beef, smoked morels, crispy shallots, Roquefort and truffle spiked pocket bread

A.Y.S.O. and Mama Kay
Sacher torte with forgotten cookie

And as always, wines paired by Andy Diaz from Blackbird Wineshop
