Get excited! Finallllly somewhere to hangout in La Jolla again! This Saturday August 14, 2010 a new venue called BarFly will open it’s doors to you all. What’s cool about this place, besides the fact that I will be working here is that it’s a restaurant, lounge and club all in one so you can come here for any reason; date nights, lunches, dinners, cocktails by the fire pits, or for bottle service! It is open to eat until around 9pm and then transforms into a nightclub. For the grand opening we already have tons of confirmed celebs attending, red carpet and all. Definitely excited to have something else to do besides seeing the same old DT and rowdy PB crowds. La Jolla will be happy to have Barfly to liven the city back up!

Barfly is located where the old Hard Rock Cafe was on Prospect and has recently been transformed into a “scene of class, sophistication and sexiness that can only be found in the heart of La Jolla. As the sun goes down BarFly heats up with amazing sound and ambiance, plush seating for bottle service and a massive dance floor. Outside you will find a wonderful patio to enjoy the sea breeze blowing in from the Pacific while you relax next to one of the many beautiful fire pits. BarFly caters to a high-end clientele who will receive what they expect, the BEST. BARFLY LA JOLLA, A LUXURIOUS PLACE AND JUST PLAIN SEXY.”

BOA Steakhouses~ Sunset, Santa Monica & Vegas

Posted in: Adventures, Best Restaurants, Celebrations!, Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Date Night Ideas, Food

I mentioned in a post earlier this week eating at a restaurant called Boa in Hollywood, but I didn’t talk about anything other than seeing Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner on a date, soooo I wanted to tell you guys more about this place because it is a great restaurant to visit for a special event, date or even just a yummy dinner if you’re local.

Cathleen, Arika & I celebrating @ Boa on Sunset

BOA Steakhouse is a contemporary American steakhouse. Think steaks, seafood, veggies, a little something for everyone, with an award winning wine list. Boa Steakhouse has a few locations, Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Santa Monica & Las Vegas (Inside Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops). We decided to go with the Hollywood location just because it seemed like the most fun place to celebrate a birthday.

Avril Lavigne Two Timing Brody Jenner & Deryck Whibley?

Posted in: Celebrations!, Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Date Night Ideas, Hot Topics

Oh my gossshhh so last night we were out in LA for a birthday dinner at Boa Steakhouse on Sunset in Hollywood, and as soon as we walked in I bumped into Brody Jenner. I was on my way to the bathroom so I didn’t see where he went, but when I went back to the table Arika couldn’t wait to tell me that Brody was there on a date with Avril Lavigne. When I googled about these two it seems there has already been whispers of a low key relationship between the two, but my spotting confirms it

The two were definitely cuddling and smooching a bit throughout dinner. The crazy thing is, is that after we saw her, she was spotted at Crown bar with her on again off again husband Deryck Whibley from Sum 41. Playyyyaaa.

Avril looked skittish and requested more space just before getting into her car to leave. Avril looked like you think she would, ratted hair, smeared eyeliner, and sporting some dirty sneakers and skinny jeans. Also spotted at Boa was Paris & Nikki Hilton’s parents, Boa is definitely the place to eat if youd like to run into a celebrity or two.

Such an odd duo but hey maybe what they say is true, opposites attract? Here is my I-Phone paparazzi pic, hard to see but its Brody on the left and Avril on the right, pre cuddle sesh.

Best Vegas Sushi- Roku Sushi in Caesars Palace

Posted in: BEST Of..., Best Restaurants, Date Night Ideas, Food, VEGAS Hot Spots

I guess I am just an excessive eater, all my posts are food related it seems? I have been in Vegas all week so eating has definitely been a huge part of the week. Great, bye bye skinny jeans. Anyway, I have a new favorite sushi restaurant for you to try if you are in Vegas. Inside Caesars Palace there is a sushi restaurant called Roku Sushi and it is delicious! I would suggest making a reservation though because it isn’t that big and can fill up, especially on weekends.

If you really want a good seat, reserve a view of the strip if you can. Half of the restaurant overlooks the strip which makes for a super fun date spot. My favorite part of the meal was the Champagne cocktail. YUM! I love any place that has specialty cocktails that are unique. For dinner I ordered a veggie roll, cucumbers, avocado and asparagus with soy paper. Was pretty yummy but not that filling, the rolls could be a bit bigger, or maybe I’m just fat and they’re a good size?

I also got veggie tempura which was good as well. They also have a Miso Eggplant, which sounds repulsive but was actually tasty, bits of eggplant cooked in miso soup, pretty yum. Like I said, the cocktail was my favorite, but the sushi was great too for all you sushi fans. By far the best sushi I have found in Vegas so far. There was also a bachelorette party there when we ate, so it is def. a fun place to bring a big group, however they were loud and annoying ;P

Have a favorite restaurant in Vegas? I wanna hear! Big fat fatty, I wanna hit up all the best places

My Valentine’s Weekend ♥ At La Valencia Hotel

Posted in: Adventures, Date Night Ideas, Dating Do's & Don'ts, Favorite HOTELS, Places you NEED to be

So I told you guys I would have a Valentine this year and I had to let you know that I kept my word Perfect Valentine’s weekend filled with yummy food, champagne, candy and pretty sunsets… I had such a fun weekend! I stayed in La Jolla at the La Valencia Hotel and I had a blast exploring the La Jolla tide pools, caves, coves, seals and amazing hotel! My parents had their wedding reception at this hotel so I was excited to see the area. I thought I’d share a few of the awesome pics. (Thanks Mom for the camera, I know you want the credit!)

Next time you need a new, fun place to stay in San Diego definitely check out La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Old school hotel but still so nice, plus it’s PINK! There are also so many cute little shops and restaurants to walk around to around the hotel. One restaurant we loved was Azul La Jolla. Azul is owned by the same people that own the Brigatine and Miguel’s in case those are 2 of your faves

Instead of ordering actual entrees we ordered yummy champagne cocktails and a million side orders. Perfect meal. In need of an awesome date location? This place was super fun and delicious. Just avoid the waitress with the pony tail, she was mean. She was probably mean because I asked for sweet champagne and when she brought me dry, gross champagne I sent it back oopsie.

Anyway, La Jolla definitely is somewhere you can go and explore tons of new things. The seals are really fun to watch, the waves were huge this weekend, the sunsets were pretty and pink, and like I said tons of bars, restaurants and shops to visit. Next date night try La Jolla!

Cute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas & Quotes ♥

Posted in: Celebrations!, Date Night Ideas, Dating Do's & Don'ts, Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Girly things I love!

I love ♥Valentine’s Day♥, I don’t know why because every year I have a crappy one, but I still love it I also love quotes and wanted to give you guys a few to think about or add in your Valentine’s Day cards or crafts. People have asked me what to get their Valentines this year and since Valentine’s Day is about expressing love, I think the best gifts are those that show how you feel, crafts, pictures, flowers, letters etc…

♥Guys: Here is a TIP on Valentine’s Days, girls want to hear how much they mean to you. She would take a hand written card/note over a big gift any day! So this year plan ahead, make your Valentine something special that shows effort and emotion. Ewww emotions, I know. Frame her a picture, make her a Valentine, write her a nice card letting her know the top 10 things you love about her (For me I would need top 100 ) Plan a fun date night for the two of you, doesn’t have to be fancy, girls just want fun nights with you. Valentine’s Day is about love, not money.

♥Girls: Guys want to feel loved and cared for. Make them a nice dinner with all his favorite foods and booze. You know all those things he begs you to do that you never do every other day of the year? Do them today. Pretty simple. Think back to something you’re always saying NO to, whatever it may be…and today say OK I also think guys secretly like flowers. Girls, you can get your guy flowers too, chances are he’s never had them and let’s be real, who doesn’t love flowers and a nice card.

Ok now for some of my favorite L♥ve quotes to get us all in the V-day m♥♥d:

Love is all you need.

Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
