On a Budget: The 24 hour Dress!
I don’t why I didn’t think of writing this blog sooner. I’m always asked what I swear by, and what items are staple pieces for me. So I decided to share some of my budget friendly finds with you.
My first must have is the Rachel Roy 24 hour dress. The concept of the dress is that it can function all day! Wear it in the morning with a cami, work appropriate shoes, and a blazer for the office. Switch the blazer out for an over sized cardigan if you’re running errands, or with the kids. When 5 o’clock hits, upgrade the flats out for some heels, and throw on some jewelry and meet friends for a drink. If you’re having a late night, lose the cami, plung the neckline, and throw on your highest heels and no one would know it’s the same dress you wore to [...] Continue reading →

Everyone craves fast food once in while. When we think of fast food we don’t really think of fancy places or top notch ingredients. But who says it can’t be gourmet? A quaint take-out spot in Berkeley says it can be! This past weekend me and my boyfriend took a mini-vacation to Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto, a.k.a North Shattuck. As we walked to our hotel we saw a little spot that caught our eye. I’m really glad we decided to check it out because I will return whenever I’m back in the area.
Just off of Shattuck and Cedar is Grégoire. It’s pretty small and could easily be missed if it weren’t for the constant buzz of hungry customers. As we walked into the spot we immed [...] Continue reading →
Opera San Jose – ‘La Traviata’
A famed courtesan, glamorous, yet fragile. It is 1889 Paris and the celebrated Violetta Valéry has thrown a lavish party where she meets the young admirer Alfredo Germont. He has long loved her, and she is so taken with his sincerity that she abandons her life of luxury and retreats to the country to be with him. But when met with the disapproving eye of Alfredo’s father, Violetta regrettably agrees to end the affair and go back to Paris. A jealous Alfredo denounces her, but when he learns of her sacrifice he returns to beg her forgiveness, only to discover she has but moments to live.
Verdi’s romantic tragedy La traviata is overflowing with some of the most unforgettable music in all of opera. His melodies, rich in passion and drama, made him the master of his time and this legenda [...] Continue reading →

Intermezzo at Quattro
There’s a new addition at Four Seasons East Palo Alto. The aptly named, “Intermezzo” now occupies the space between the bar scene and full-on dinning experience at Quattro (the Four Seasons restaurant). Last Friday, MODE had the chance to celebrate the grand opening.
Italian for “in between,” Intermezzo serves up a wildly diverse selection of small plates and appetizers. Diners have the choice of eating Famiglia (all at once), Festivo (as its ready) and Formale (course by course). A lot of the plates are designed to be shared—with this in mind there is a huge portion of the menu that can be prepared gluten free upon request. All menu items were created by Executive Chef Marco Fossati, Chef de Cuisine Edward Higgins and Pastry Chef Eric Keppler.
I started off with a the made-f [...] Continue reading →
