Culinary Delights of SOMA and Pure Spirits

Hello Darlings,

Among the many beautiful places in Toronto, Distillery District is one of my favorites to visit on a sunny day. With cobblestone streets, this historic pedestrian neighborhood has some terrific art galleries, and has numerous restaurants and pâtisseries that will suit the wants of any food lover.

As the Thanksgiving Monday was as sunny and warm as an August day, I spent the afternoon indulging in a delicious lobster pasta at Pure Spirits Oyster House & Grill while absorbing the rays of sunshine on their cozy patio. Following an hour-long lunch, I wondered over to SOMA chocolatemaker for an afternoon chocolate treat.

I might as well come out and say — I am a huge foodie I love food but dislike cooking unless in a creative mood. The thought of wearing an apron and playing in a kitchen for hours just scares the life out of me, but as my mother says, “there’s going to be a time when you will embrace it.” Hopefully, she is right as part of my girl-y package should include culinary-competence

I am wearing: ♥ T by Alexander Wang Dress ♥ McQ by Alexander McQueen Razor Necklace ♥  Michael Kors Watch  ♥ 3.1 Philip Lim Simon Sunglasses  ♥ J.Crew Classic Leather Ballet Flat in Smoky Charcoal ♥ Z Spoke by Zac Posen Purse

On a side note, I must mention that heels are a no-no at the Distillery District as the cobblestones are not too kind on them Platforms or flats are a better idea. Given that my poor heels were victims of my misjudgment on the last visit, this time around I went for a pair of ballerinas.

I wore a comfortable T by Alexander Wang dress which I accessorized with my new Alexander McQueen razor necklace. Although I never wear necklaces, this dainty piece was perfect as it was not too girly and made a statement without being overwhelming or flashy. Plus, it feels so nice to own a tiny piece of McQueen’s legacy.

Which city are you from and what are some of your favorite places?

With Love…
