My husband will and does take photos of me while I am unaware which is why I look confused. I wanted more photos, but there was just too many people, too much traffic, no time and rudeness if I am being honest.
I had planned on taking a few more photos of this outfit at the hotel, but when we got back to the hotel the lighting pretty much looked the same as what you see in these photos. Then I wanted to try to get a photo the next day in the daylight because honestly, it's so pretty, but to me, it looks messy on me.
I am only 5'3 and this looked better online on the model who was probably like 5'8 or 5'9. Anyhow, I still like it and love it regardless. It is a sexy and soft satin set which to me kind of looks like a sensual lingerie. I love the color and the design and it does look like what was advertised.

I have not had a chance to write this full review, but trust me it is worth a read. I will have it up soon! This is one of many stops in this Aircation for my food tour for the New Year.
What I ordered...you all know I love me some ceviche; I could live off of ceviche alone! So, yes, all of this was for me and naturally I could not finish all of this. It was a trio of three different types of ceviche. Naturally, the classic Peruvian ceviche is my all time favorite, but it was only a little bit more money to get the trio and I was interested in trying some new ones as well so I got this. I ended up still liking the classic the best, the shrimp one tastes almost exactly like the classic, but it seems to have some tomato or something in it which is also giving it the yellow/red tint. The shrimp were good and this one had a little spice to it unlike the classic. The octopus ceviche was my least favorite, luckily hubs is not picky and he did not mind it.
What my hubby ordered...this is actually his favorite:
I am just a shorty and even with these heels on the dress is kind of wearing me I feel. But if you asked me...I would choose it all over again. It was in fact, everything I wanted in my official Valentine's Day dress because I wanted to go for a soft feminine sexy as well as not wear red or pink which can be cliche.
Given more time, I could have gotten a better shot and I plan to still try to get one as soon as I figure out where I put this outfit when I got home lol.

We dined in at Nikkita for Valentines Day, and I have some mixed reviews about this place.
Intro Nikkita:
The food here was good, very good, but everything else about this restaurant distracts from the food andbcuisine. It's a restaurant operating like a nightclub, and if you arenintroverted or want a regular dining experience, you may not like it. From strobe lights to dancers to streaming fireworks, this place actually is a sensory overload.
On my visit here, I knew this was already going in, but I knew the performances were not happening until later in the night, so I didn't think it would be so overwhelming.
Nikkita is located off of I- Drive and Universal Blvd. It doesn't matter which way you enter this area. You will be funneled into a long line of traffic for other restaurants and attractions, which is not made clear when you are coming here. Your map will not account for this traffic at all, and given the time of day, you will be stuck in it. The restaurant has very strict rules about dress code, payments up front, cancellation times, and cancellation fees.
So imagine my maps guide is saying my eta is one time and I enter the area via Universal only to be funneled through a long line of cars valeted, but also valeting for Charley's Steakhouse as well as other restaurants and Icon Park and other hotels all in that Plaza. Now, most restaurants give a 15-minute grace period, and if you call in that time and let them know what is going on, it's forgiven. I called them within the grace period and when I finally made it through the long line of cars valeting for other restaurants and businesses I was happy to find that Nikkita had a section of the parking lot just for their customers.
However, when I came into the restaurant, I was met with rude and pretentious employees. I was told my table had been given away. I actually said, "Well, I did call ahead, and I even had tonget further directions on how to get here because of this plaza." I was told with an attitude and a smirk..." You are still late and outside the 15-minute time." So, so graciously I was offered a seat in a back room which they called a back private room and said I would have to be seated near or around other people.
They said this oddly like it was a punishment, but I was actually fine with that given how over the top the restaurant already was. I was not keen on the attitudes of the employees especially on Valentine's Day, especially because there was no mention of this insane parking situation they have or even the fact that I spoke to them and I was literally with in a 5 minute walking distance of the restaurant and I was stuck in a valet line for another restaurant - and they STILL gave my table away and now they have a haughty attitude like I don't even belong in their restaurant.
Well, I had come there for Peruvian Nikkei and I was going to get stuck to that so we took the seats they offered us. Our waiter was so very nice and professional, it really sucks that the manager and woman at the front were so rude to me because it overshadows the great service the person gave us as well as the great food.
Yes, I thought the food was not only great, but it tasted as close to authentic as you will get in Florida. I have had so much Peruvian food, and I know... I know what some dishes in specific should be like. I really enjoyed the cevich trio as well as my craft cocktails. I ordered a starter as my main because I love ceviche. I can eat ceviche every day and all day if I could. It was more than enough food for me.
My husband's meal was exactly what he expected. The presentations for the food were on point. And then we were ready to pay and leave, and I heard another employee asking when we were leaving, and our waiter had my ceviche presentation removed from the table, and they were like "now". And this guy looks at her and is like, "That is all she ate?!"
This was not my waiter it wasn't his business, and I know he didn't know I heard and saw him. Then another group that was booked for this back room came in to be seated AS WE WERE LEAVING and they looked at us disgusted and we're like who are they...despite the fact we were at a whole other table and about to leave.
The manager says to him with equal disdain... Don't worry... this was just a "situation" we had to deal with.
So, we (I) paying customers who had a reservation and who actually arrived to point A on time and called in to ask how to get around the traffic from a whole other restaurant was reduced to a "situation".
And this is why I will never recommend this restaurant or their sister restaurants. Trying to mistreat customers and make it seem like they are not on the level of who you think should be dining there is never OK. It's never OK to dehumanize a person or customers and refer to them as such things. To stand over them and look down on them while attempting to dehumanize them and on Valentine's Day of all times.
I say this to the people who did this (and not to the person who waited on us and gave us 5 star service). Please get a damn clue. It sucks that I was there in the capacity of a food tour highlighting the cuisine of my second hometown Orlando, but if you show your behind I am not going to hold back (see Meat Market).
There is never a situation or world where it's ok to treat people like they aren't good enough to eat in your establishment. That is called discrimination!
