THE NORTH LEFT 400 N BROADWAY SANTA ANA, CA 92701 714.543.3543 WWW.THENORTHLEFT.COM t Shopping always makes me hungry, so
once I’d stocked up on goodies from the DTSA Farmers’ Market, I walked three blocks to The North Left for some traditional American cuisine with a modern twist. I got the party started with their most popular cocktail, the Cucumber Gimlet, a refreshing combination of gin, cucumber and lime. I kept it going with a yummy appetizer — the tuna ceviche with chili, cucumber and orange. It was exactly what you want on a hot summer’s night; something really fresh and light. I’d recommend this pair to anyone who loves food (so I guess that would be everyone). They even looked like they belonged together!

WHAT TO WEAR
t The mark of a true Cali girl is the ability to look chic
in the most casual way possible. And you definitely want to look smart at a hot spot like The North Left. So in the spirit of maintaining that heir of ‘I don’t care,’ I donned my favorite LBD. Nothing’s easier than throwing on a ‘little black dress,’ but it can also tend to feel a little uninspired, so I personalized my look by layering the dress over a ripped tank, and under a camo jacket. The addition of some rad accessorizes, rocker booties, matching cuffs, and a statement necklace really completed the look.
