Another Saturday Night…
and we’re stepping out in style!
I just love it when I get an invitation to spend an evening out. Especially when it is filled with great food, conversation, and good friends!
Recently we were invited by friends to participate in an intimate dinner party at The Fat Tuscan Cafe in historic downtown Gainesville. Needless to say, we had a marvelous evening.
The Dinner Party
My beautiful friend, Shirley invited us to join her family and friends for dinner and a Birthday celebration.
The Fat Tuscan Cafe is located inside the 100-Year-old Historic Vidal house in downtown Gainesville, Florida. It offers cooking classes and catering for private events. With its intimate family-style setting, cozy atmosphere, and cook from scratch Tuscan recipes our dining experience was not only tasty but also delightful.
The food is freshly prepared using local ingredients whenever possible. Since the restaurant is also a cooking school some of the dishes are prepared in the dining room.
A special thanks to our friends for including us in this delightful evening out in our hometown.
The Outfit
Today’s outfit is one of my favorite combinations. You’ve seen me wearing similar outfits (here) and (here). Simple and sweet, this outfit consists of basic black jeans, a sheer silk tunic worn with a lightweight camisole. Lastly, a classic clutch bag and my new favorite shoe. I’ve discovered Tory Burch flats.
My Latest Obsession!
I’ve had my eye on these Tory Burch shoes for a very long time. Finally, I spotted them on sale during the annual Nordstrom Sale. Now they are mine and I love them! For comfort and fit, they are perfect for my feet.
Isn’t it amazing how we love to travel and yet we sometimes forget to look around for those unique treasures in our own hometowns?
Have you found any interesting local spots in your town lately?
Thanks for visiting here at Distinctly Southern Style!

I love this outfit! I really love those flats (and I adore all flats) and then that sheer blouse. This is totally something I can see myself wearing for a night out.
I’m a flats girl at heart too! These have been on my radar for a long time. They are so comfortable that intend to purchase a second pair in a different color.
