Did you guys have a good weekend? Mine was jam-packed but with fun stuff. The laundry will just have to wait.
{Wth is wrong with my hair in this photo!? lol}
On Friday night, hubby and I went on a date.
We visited the swanky theaters at the Epicentre. I love these theaters because you can reserve your seat in advance and choose exactly where you want to sit in the theater. Oh, and the seats are super plush, oversized, and comfy, by the way.
You can even order food (not just popcorn, yo) and drinks (cocktails, etc.), which you can enjoy inside the theater. We had pizza, popcorn, and sodas and watched The Avengers. I thought the movie was really good, but I wish I’d seen all the related movies before since they hinted at them throughout the flick. Also, did anyone else think that “Jake” has come a long way since “Not Another Teen Movie?” Just me? Okay…
We weren’t quite ready to call it a night after the movie…plus, my sweet tooth was calling. So, we headed next door to the Ritz’s Bar Cocoa for dessert.
The prices are surprisingly reasonable on the sweets – about $1.25 for a truffle up to $22 for a whole cake.
We did not buy a whole cake. We did get two macarons and a cupcake for under $6.
We found a cozy seat next to the dessert bar and enjoyed some live music. The place was pretty packed!

Date night was so fun. I think we’re going to have to repeat this one again soon!

By the way, thanks for the suggestions on my last outfit. I’m going to try those out…as soon as I get that laundry done. 😉

Reader question: What did you do this past weekend? Do you have any affordable date night ideas?
Woot! Avengers was awesome! Saw it in 3D IMAX. I see you still have a weakness for pistachio, hehe.
Love your outfit! Great pictures looks like yall had a blast!! xoxo
I kind of want to steal your date night idea, both the theater and the Ritz dessert place look awesome. Must drag Greg over there!
Do ittttttt! 🙂
I haven’t tried that pretty place before but I always pass by it. Do they have tulsi tea? My friend told me that Now I know pretty it is. So how is is the food? Is it great?
I don’t recall seeing tulsi tea on the menu at the Ritz. I think they had a green tea, a black tea, and a couple herbal teas – about 5-ish options, maybe. I haven’t had a good sampling of the food. I stayed there once for a holiday party, and I ordered breakfast room service, which was quite tasty. The desserts we had on this night were great! Def worth checking out – at least for dessert! 😉
Love your outfit in the first pic and I think your hair looks great too, like in that casual sexy kind of way!
Aww thanks, Colleen! 🙂
What a fun, fun date!!!!
Your outfit is very cute btw!
Xoxo
sounds like a perfect date night. i’m dying to try the new bar at the ritz so thanks for sharing your experience.
We loved it! I think it’s definitely worth a visit! 🙂
Nicceeee flats!! I want those, where’d you score those cuties?? 🙂
Thank you! They’re from J Crew, but they’re kind of old. I think I got them about 5 or 6 years ago.
Love date nights 🙂 Last time I visited my Mom we went into Charlotte and looked around that theatre. Didn’t get to see a movie, but it looked like it would be fun!
You should go the next time you’re in town. It would be a fun experience! 🙂
