Let's Get Acquainted! Favorites Survey

Someday I'm going to throw a linky party, but until then...
 
 
I ♥ the "Let's Get Acquainted" weekly parties hosted by Latoya at Flying Into First Grade. She has the best ideas!
 
This week it's a Favorites survey.
 
FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP
 
Usually I shop online at Amazon (or TPT), because stores don't run on the same schedule I do. I try to avoid the mall if I can and order at an online retail store, but I do manage to find my way in person to a boutique (non-mall) location of White House Black Market. Their clothes don't look like much on the rack, but fit really well! Right now I'm eyeing this for my spring quick-trip to Las Vegas in a few weeks!
 
 
I ♥ it!
 This dress would be comfy on the plane, at work, with chunky accessories and/or funky shoes for a fun evening, or simple accessories to dress it up! I can't wait to try it on.
 
FAVORITE T.V. SHOW
 
I don't watch t.v., but recently downloaded all 3 seasons of Downton Abbey.
 
 
I watched them on a recent plane ride and got hooked! It's so, so, so good! I'm ready to start the 3rd season, so trying to avoid hearing any spoilers. 
 
FAVORITE SWEET TREAT
 
I also do my best to avoid treats (I sound like such a fun person, huh?!), but if I did indulge it would either be a homemade smores or apple crisp - YUM!
 
FAVORITE FOOD
 
If it's fresh & healthy, I'll eat it. I really like seafood and Mexican food. I can't eat Chinese food anymore after a creepy experience and I don't crave Indian or sushi. When I go out I usually order a huge salad with a protein (i.e.: salmon).
 
FAVORITE RESTAURANT
 
Growing up and moving around the midwest, we had every restaurant chain imaginable. Now that I'm in a city on the east coast, we seem to only visit independent restaurants.
Last night I ate at:
 
Of Love and Regret and started with this app:
 
Crispy Rock Shrimp
and tonight we're thinking of this:
 
 
We have dozens and dozens of restaurants within walking distance from our home. We are very spoiled!
 
I can't wait to hear about other bloggers' favorites!

  1. I'm jealous of your city living and restaurants within walking distance! That dress is super cute! Enjoy Vegas, its our nearest city so we're there at least once a month or so.

    1. It is really nice being able to walk everywhere, but I probably should be cooking more healthy meals at home! I can't wait for Vegas! It's just a quick trip. but I'm staying at Aria - I've never been there & it looks amazing! Thanks for your comment :)

    I'm super jealous of your restaurants within walking distance. I'd love that!

    1. D.A. is SO good!! Last week I rewatched the first season to try to get someone else hooked (it worked!). The shows are so good even the 2nd time around - I picked up on Anna and Bates much earlier :)
