Last Brunch of 2024: The Smith

Oyinkan Wearing Crochet Jacket With Midi Dress - Brunch at The Smith - Befitting Style-27

I’ve wanted to brunch at The Smith for years. The midtown staple’s previous green stripe exterior initially caught my eye 8-10 years ago. I knew I had to check it out at some point, but I kept forgetting. When my best friend, Marllory said she wants to do brunch at midtown, I sent her a list. The Smith was included in the list and my emphasis of my interest in going to The Smith for years led her to believe our choice was a no-brainer. The decade-long interest was the…

Amazon Ads Luncheon at Serra Birreria – Advertising Week

Amazon-Ads-Luncheon-at-Serra-Birreria-Advertising-Week-Befitting-Style

During Advertising Week New York 20, I attended a couple of luncheons at Serra Birreria. The beautiful thing about New York is that you will probably never know all the restaurants and even as a native New Yorker, I’m still getting introduced to new places to wine and dine. During Days 3 and 4 of Advertising Week, I finally got to experience Eataly. Finding Serra was a task on its own but once you learn to maneuver through Eataly, you’ll become accustomed to navigating through the copious merchants that the…

Brunch at Agenda Astoria For Marllory’s Birthday

I recently celebrated my best friend, Marllory’s birthday with brunch at Agenda in Astoria, New York. While I’m used to raving about my brunch experiences (because brunch is life), I wasn’t completely impressed by this particular experience. Upon entry, I was seated at the table of 20 next to Marllory’s sister, Maoly whom I love so much! Once Marllory arrived, we were able to order drinks. We all indulged in the bottomless brunch menu that included unlimited mimosas with a meal. I ordered my favorite brunch meal – eggs benedict…

Neutrals for Dinner at Manuela DTLA

I had the pleasure of having dinner at Manuela in downtown Los Angeles so I kept it neutral with a beige crop top, beige and white stripe skirt, and brown heels. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, you probably already know that brunch is life but once in a while, I indulge in dinners. Filled with excitement, this was my first time eating at Manuela and I was excited to try a bit of as much as my stomach could manage. I started off with the delicious cream biscuits…

Dinner On A Boat at La Borca Cantina – High Slit Mini Dress

I’m totally not a dinner girl. Brunch is my favorite thing to do. I somehow got convinced to dine at La Borca Cantina at Pier 81 and there were definitely some pros and cons. Best part is I finally got to wear this neutral high-slit mini dress that perfectly fit the occasion. I accessorized the look with the Befitting Style Marvel White Earrings and white Zara heels. Brunch is life but when my best friend, Marllory Perez said she prefers to do dinner instead of brunch to celebrate her 31st birthday, its…

Are We Back To Brunching? Pink Summer Dress For Brunch at Jue Lan

To brunch or not to brunch while still keeping safe in quarantine is quite a decision. I had brunch at Jue Lan because my friend recommended it and my first time back at brunch had to be at an upscale black-owned restaurant. I think its still important to quarantine and deciding whether you should partake in brunch is highly dependent on your location. In some cities, its perfectly fine to brunch (as long as you have your mask on of course), while other cities are experiencing a tighter shutdown with…
