My new sequins outfit. I think I used to be a lot more "dressy" during my university days (since I studied Fashion) and I would wear a lot of sequins on any regular day lol. These years I only wear them during the holidays. Since I last updated, I've had quite a lot of progress in terms of my Christmas shopping and outfits. So I am feeling a bit more relaxed and excited now for the upcoming weeks. I know this will be the best Christmas/New Year's ever :)
I finally got/ordered my NYE dress which will arrive in 2-3 business days. I will post it on New Year's. It's actually a dress I've been looking at for months already but they were sold out of my size. Then when I checked yesterday, it was miraculously restocked so I purchased it immediately. Coming all the way from the UK which also means I got charged a ridiculous customs tax..but I'm sure it will be worth it. I can't wait!
Today I went out for a very quick (and successful) shopping trip. I got the entire gift for one person, half for another person...and I got my new sequins top. Also I ordered a gift for another person, and just had an idea of what to get the remaining two people. Hahah. So I pretty much have it all sorted out now.
After my quick shopping trip today, I went out for a family dinner (one of my aunts was visiting from Vancouver) to
Gusto 101. I love this place! Last time I went was during the summer. I've missed it.
But first I will start with last night. My friends and I went for dinner at Royal York:

If you've been following my blog for awhile, you may remember how much I love the chicken sandwich from
Epic! I've literally never ordered anything else from here since I got the sandwich the first time I came..became addicted and order it every time (and whoever else I come with will also get it lol)

Then we went over to the Library Bar for tea and live music.

![mushroom bruschetta](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4680/25259755968_451a31605b_o.jpg)
There was 6 of us so we ordered a LOT of different dishes to share. I loved everything. This was the mushroom bruschetta.
![Gusto 101 Branzino](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4687/38244412465_7bcb8a711f_o.jpg)
The Branzino was really good. A lot better than the previous one I had
a few weeks ago at KOST. That one was extremely salty and now that I look back on that photo...it looks like a crocodile hahah (as my sister pointed out)

Rucola salad

Margherita pizza (the best!!) and Cavolfiori, which was a slightly spicy cauliflower dish. It was also pretty good.
![Gusto 101 pumpkin ravioli](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4594/38244412425_2e1dbc8430_o.jpg)
Pumpkin ravioli..as my pumpkin obsession still hasn't subsided.
![Gusto 101 desserts](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4689/38244412325_ef646db604_o.jpg)
We ordered literally every dessert on the menu except the biscotti. Well they all shared these ones and I got my own lol. Pears with brown butter, amaro, almonds and white chocolate. It wasn't what I expected. I would have preferred if it was more sweet (as it didn't taste sweet at all).
