AM: Sloth-ed my way out of bed to doll up for my bestie's (belated - because of our conflicting schedules) birthday lunch date.
Noon: Arrived at our slated venue, Macalister Mansion.
The place is a charming blend of austere decor and modern-day pieces in a classic white mansion. The food was sumptuous and the service was impeccable.
