Birthday Brunch {Beretta}

A big thanks to my girlfriends who met for brunch this afternoon to celebrate my 25th birthday (which is actually tomorrow, the 27th). And thanks for all the birthday wishes from my blog friends. :) Beretta was delicious, I've been wanting to go for sometime now and was happy to finally make it! My pampelmousse cocktail (gin, lemon, grapefruit, basil, elderflower) was refreshing and a nice change from the usual brunch mimosa. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate: amazing food, friends, and an afternoon mani / pedi to round out the weekend.  
PS: Run, don't walk to your nearest H&M - this leopard ruffle skirt is only $25.
