I've been very good for the past few months about eating plenty of protein, good fats, and a lot of fruits and vegetables. Then, J told me he was going to happy hour at Roni's and I was smitten by the siren call of their St. Louis sandwich.
So I made the boy bring me home one to drink with a dry martini, two olives. The St. Louis is Roni's gift to the sandwich world: two sides of lightly toasted French roll tightly holding together swirls of warm turkey, crisped pastrami, chunks of avocado, and creamy Thousand Island-esque dressing. And I'm not usually someone who goes on about sandwiches!
Tried to walk off the sandwich today by going shopping with my sister. We loved the little green dress, but they didn't have the right size so we had to give up the dream of having quite the untraditionally fashionable little addition to our wedding party. I hesitate to say "flower girl" because I don't need someone to skip down an aisle throwing petals to announce my arrival, but I do want to give my cousin a nice Christmas present and ask her to be in my wedding photos.

That green dress is beautiful. I need flower girl dresses for my wedding. What store is that? Did they have good prices?
There's an entire street of dresses downtown. Dresses start at $15 for very basic frilly white dresses. We didn't like those because they seemed stiff.
My sister and I loved a store called Marshmallow. All dresses were $28. I believe this is it:
557 E Pico Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90015
(213) 747-4423
But call for hours and ask if they're on the street with all the children's clothing. I don't want to steer you wrong! It's in the downtown wholesale fashion district
We ended up at a store whose name neither of us remembers, and they were a little more. $36-40. That's the one with that green dress!
It's downtown LA, so paying in cash or buying multiple dresses usually gets you a discount. Do NOT let them get away with charging you their first offer! At least get a good 10% off the top, or no tax.
Thank you soooo much!!! I am going to go today. You are such a big help. I love your blog.
