Today was one of those days, you know when something totally unexpected happens to you and slaps you in the face and screams “pay attention!” That’s what the Lobster Raviloi and Strawberry Tart did to me when I had lunch at The Art institute’s Artisan Restaurant.  The presentation and service were impeccable! Kudos, guys!

The Artisan. It is open Monday-Wednesday 11:30am to 12:30 pm, (704) 357-5900.

While reading my daily blog roll, I came across this unbelievably beautiful image of Rosella Jardini, the Artistic Director at Moschino.  This was taken by Garance Dore’ and is on her blog.  She is shooting their ad campaign.  But, I love Rosella’s style.  Simply impeccable.  She reminds me of all of the grand dames I have grown up watching and that have been my inspiration along my fashion journey.

And to top it all off, I had the most beautiful staff meeting.
