Happy Monday and happy leap day friends!! The first weekend back in Boston was a success – equal parts fun and relaxing!! Here’s what we were up to!
Along with everyone else, I was pretty pumped that Fuller House was released on Netflix this past Friday – I mean TGIF all over again, and I make no qualms about finishing it all this weekend…each episode was like 24 minutes so that barely counts as binge watching, right? We also watched Leap Yearbecause it’s a leap year, so that doesn’t need much explanation!
Most of Saturday was spent getting ready for a gala we had that night!! I was lucky enough to get a last minute appointment at Icon Salon in Newton Center. Not only did Amnon nail the hair cut, but he totally wins for keeping my curls in shape for not one, but two days – you’ll see second day hair later in the post!
Everyone was so friendly & since it was my first time there I was given a tour of the salon. I also noticed that they put an ATM downstairs and I find this to be so smart because I am notorious at forgetting cash for tips and this just makes it so much easier for everyone!
I haven’t been able to find a great hair stylist here in Boston in 6 years…bouncing from salon to salon and finally I can say, I’ve found THE guy! You know when you say, just take off an inch and they end up getting scissor happy, well that was not the case here! I even talked about perhaps a little balayage hair action so stay tuned for that!
That night we got all dressed up in the name of charity! Part work, but mostly play – it was a really fun night for a good cause and we were happy to even play a small part in it!
I’m so happy that I was able to wear this dress again (first seen here) and we won’t even discuss how much use I’ve gotten out of my wedding earrings! It also felt like our own version of the Oscars – who doesn’t love getting their hair done, putting on a pretty dress & then dancing the night away!
Much of the East Coast was blessed with amazing weather on Sunday and we took full advantage of it! A little brunch at Clery’s – fun fact, this is where Gary and I had our first date & where he took me before he proposed!
Gary had the Philly Eggs Benedict and I snuck a bite – seriously good!
Reveling in second day hair! Why is it that when I curl my hair it never looks this good the next day – oh I know why – No patience!
Stopped into Trader Joe’s on my weekly Sunday run for flowers and I scooped up pretty pink sunflowers!
After the sky was on fire, it was time to settle in for the night and watch the Oscars and I have to say the red carpet was really underwhelming for me! But I did think that Charlize Theronabsolutely slayed in Dior. Gorgeous!
Today is a bonus day’s of sorts – what are you going to do?! Link up below to share your weekends with us!
I was given a hair cut & style from Icon Salon in exchange for my honest review – the proof is in the second day hair here! π
‘);
GIIIRL, you SLAYED it for the gala. I loved your dress and golly your hair is amazing. Such beautiful curls so cool they lasted until the 2nd day!
I didn't watch the Oscars but I do agree, Theron looked amazing. And of course, YAY LEO!
Can we talk about how gorgeous you looked for the gala? LOVE! And second day hair for the win! My hair never lasts until the second day. And those tater tots look so yummy, I want them right now! Happy Monday lovely! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Oh my goodness!!! Was there a red carpet there and I'd say yeah Charlize for the Oscars best dressed but BIANA for the Gala BEST DRESSED!! Happy Monday beautiful with the most gorgeous hair in all of Boston!!!!
You look wonderful in those pics from the gala and the hair! Love the earrings too! Love being able to use dresses more than once. Only has happened once over here haha
So glad you found a your hair is so pretty, so glad you found The Guy! I will have to give Fuller Gouse a try, totally not binge watching at 24min! Glad you had a great weekend and happy Leap Day!
Xoxo,

Your hair looks great! Yay for finally finding a hair stylist–it's always so hard to find someone that you feel comfortable with!

Loved your locks this weekend (and even on the second day!) Woohoo for finding a new stylist! You guys looked gorgeous in your gala-wear! π We watched some Fuller House this weekend, too, and I super enjoyed it. Trying to space it out so I have it to watch over a few more days at least. I'm glad it's so cute π
We watched all of Fuller House too! I loved it! Charlize looked stunning and she was definitely a contender on my best-dressed list. Looks like you had a wonderful time at the gala!
You guys looked so fab at the gala and your hair was beautiful! I think you definitely found your guy. I still haven't had a chance to watch Fuller House yet but can't wait to find the time hopefully tonight!
Yes! So glad that I'm not the only one who managed to watch the entire season of Fuller House π
I need to watch Fuller House! You guys look great all dressed up, and your hair is so pretty! Looks like a fun night!
Your hair looks so gorgeous! What did you think of Fuller House? I've been hearing mixed reviews!
Fizz and Frosting
You looked stunning in that dress!!! Love it! I also though Charlize was on point last night. I am also obsessed with Guliana Rancic's first look (the yellow dress).
I can NEVER get last minute beauty appointments in Boston. you are totally my hero!!! You kids looked way better than the red carpet… I'm just saying. π
Your hair looked gorgeous and perfect with the dress. The weather was amazing, I took to the hiking trails, finally!
We watched all of Fuller House this weekend too, I mean…how can you not?!?! Your hair looks beautiful and you are looking seriously fierce in that dress!!!! And right now I am really wishing I had that food, it looks so good! Hope you have a great week!
Been loving Fuller House!! Awesome post! xo

Your hair came out amazing, and look at you rockin' that 2nd day hair too! You and Gary looked amazing for the gala, yay for being able to wear that gorgeous dress again. Cheers to an amazing week <3

You look absolutely beautiful friend!! Iβm so with you on 2nd day hair. Why canβt mine ever look that good when I do it???
You looked 100% perfect for the gala! Since being pregnant I have to wash my hair like once every four days (I still have to style in between) but it's so nice! Totally feel you on the second day hair thing! Happy Monday! Enjoy your "extra" day π
Omg girl your hair is so gorgeous, that is definitely a sign of a good salon when your hair stays just as fab the next day! Also how awesome do you guys look all dolled up for that gala! I've partially binge watched Fuller House and I swear the nostalgia isn't wearing off! Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
I totally need that you can do it – coffee quote in my life today. It's been a struggle today! I watched one episode of fuller house.. not sure what I think yet!

um your hair looked amazing!! you guys all fancy – i love dressing up every so often and i swear there is just something about a good blowout and style! and so glad you guys got some of the amazing weather yesterday – it was just impossible not to be outside!
xoxo cheshire kat
I love the dress that you wore to the gala! And I still haven't watched Fuller House because I was out of town this weekend, but I'm looking forward to bingeing it sometime this week!

You looked absolutely STUNNING for the gala! Your hair was GORGEOUS! And I totally agree-Charlize and Rachel McAdams were really the only looks I LOVED!

Omg your HAIR π Soooo gorgeous!!!
your hair looks gorgeous!! how fun to get all dolled up for such a worthy cause!!
Love it when my hair lasts a few days after a blow-out, so pretty! I was never a big Full House fan (I know that's an unpopular opinion) so I haven't watched the reboot, but almost all of my friends did! Looks like you guys had a really fun weekend!

I also finished Fuller House – what did you think? I saw a lot of people didn't like it, but I personally loved it! Your hair looked fab – I hate when I get curls (I have naturally curly, but get keratin treatments and straighten) for an event and they are too high – yours were perfect!
Your hair is AMAZING!! Definitely make that place your new salon!!! You and Gary look fabulous at that gala too. That brunch food looks delicious, and yay to flowers at Trader Joe's! I also agree with you about the red carpet, and Charlize… Flawless. π
You seriously have the most gorgeous hair – so jealous! And I honestly thought a good bit of Oscar night was underwhelming – aside from Leo's win! Happy Monday!

Oh my goodness, you looked so gorgeous at the event that y'all went to! I know what you mean about having a hard time finding a hair dresser that you love and can trust, but it looks like you might have found the one! I can't wait to watch Fuller House! We didn't have a chance to watch it this weekend, but it sounds like everybody loved it!
You hair looks sooo gorgeous!! I can't wait to check out Fuller House! I'm waiting to start it until I finish Happy Endings haha!

I was wondering if you curled your own hair! It looked SO good both days (but then again, when DOESN'T your hair look fabulous?!). Looks like a great weekend; glad you're back in the swing of things! Have a great week and make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture
Sounds like such a fabulous weekend! Your hair looks gorgeous! So glad you finally found a hairdresser, I had the same problem when I moved to DC! Such a relief when you find a good one! Happy Monday!

Finding a good stylist is SO important-it looks great! I love balayage and on your head of hair I can't imagine how great it would look! The ATM in the salon is a great idea too. You looked beautiful for your event- loved that dress and yes yes yes to second (and third day) hair–love when the girls at work do mine because it lasts so long! Have a great week!
I haven't watched the new series Fuller House yet, but then again I didn't watch Full house either.
Your hair looks gorgeous! I saw some of the pictures of it on instagram or I feel like I did. He did such a great job! If only my hair held curls like that.
Your breakfast looks so delicious! We didn't watch the Oscars, completely forgot about it! But I heard Leo finally got that oscar haha.
liz @ j for joiner
You looked absolutely gorgeous for the gala! Your hair came out amazing!! Love the curls on the second day! I had no idea Clery's served brunch! Good to know. I usually go to the brownstone's. Happy Monday.
Your hair is already gorgeous and he did such an amazing job, I love when second day hair is just as good as first day hair! Ha! Love that dress and the color looks amazing on you!

I still haven't watched Fuller House but fully intend to commit myself to watching it tonight! Also second day curls are the best! π
The gala sounds so fun and you looked gorgeous! I love how your hair turned out and the color of your dress is so pretty. Second hair day is the best right? Mine does they same thing and it stays curled for couple days. Sunday brunch was a good idea…we did the same!
I love the hair! Looked fabulous both days. You looked gorgeous at the gala.
Yesterday, I had some tater tots that looked a lot like yours. So yummy!

Holy hot stuff! Girl you look amazing! That 2nd day hair makes me envious. π glad you had such an awesome weekend!!
Love your hair and dress for the charity event girl. Can't believe your hair looked that good on the second day! Haven't watched Fuller House yet but cannot wait to binge watch it this upcoming weekend as I have nothing planned. I agree Charlize Theron slayed it in Dior.
Your hair looks great on day one and day two. Like fab!
Oh my goodness, you looked stunning for the gala! Your hair was fabulous – look at those second day waves! I can't wait to watch Fuller House, but we have a full DVR to catch up on first after vacation. I agree with you about Charlize at the Oscars, she always nails it.
You look stunning in your gala pictures! And your hair was on point… I only wish I could keep curls for two days! I'm lucky if I can keep them for two hours! Haha.
And Charlize was by far my favorite as well… I need that dress for our ball next year! Holy hotness!!
Your second day hair looks just as good as when you were in the salon! I He did an AMAZING job! I hope that one day I can have a "spot" like that β where my husband-to-be and I have cute stories. And the food look amazing, too, so that's even more of a plus!

I made it through 8 episodes of Fuller House and I'm going to be so sad when I finish! Love the hair!! That gala looked so fun!
You look absolutely stunning in that dress and I LOVE your hair! I'm embarrassed to admit how infrequently I wash my hair. Like I think maybe twice a week. Gross, I know, but I don't have time for all that styling daily!!
beautiful hair!! And yes, don't get me started on scissor happy stylists. Drives me NUTS. Looks like a super fun weekend!!!
I love the pink Gerber daisies at Trader Joe's, too! Having a spring birthday, I always ask for those or tulips for my b-day. π
Your hair looks fab on all the photos! And yes, when you find the right stylist it's like the Heaven's open up and the angels sing, haha! Glad you guys had fun at the gala!
Okay, where do I begin because there's so much fabulousness going on in this post! First, you look absolutely stunning and you both would give any celebrity couple walking the red carpet for the Oscars a run for their millions! You're gunna laugh, no lie did I say yassss girl out loud at the second day hair shot, babe you are such a beauty (I love olive on you)! I've heard of Fuller House, but I guess I'm just being a stubborn and proud '90s kid in refusing to see it because "it's not the same." However, you sparked my interest because most of the cast seems to be there, except for the Olsens π Thanks so much for sharing, I always love these kind of posts from you! Have a wonderful day and start to the week, girlie!

You looked gorgeous for you gala event! Love the dress and hair! So fun! I need to get on and watch some of Fuller House! π
you looked great.
I think I'm the only person on the planet who didn't watch Fuller House yet haha π Jared and I definitely plan to soon, I can't wait!! Your hair looks INCREDIBLE on day 1 and day 2, so glad you found a 'keeper' stylist- that is such a huge choice, I get it haha. It took me forever to find my girl!
I can't get over how gorgeous your hair looks– both days! I haven't watched Fuller House yet, but I'm sure I will soon and I'm with you feeling underwhelmed by the Oscars fashion this year.
You looked amazing at the gala-love the dress and the hair! I laughed when you said your hair doesn't look as good the second day because of no patience because that is so me! Haha.
Trader Joes flowers are always amazing! love the hair and of course I'm a Fuller House Fan Girl.
Ok, you officially win most beautiful weekend hair!!! Both days!
Beautiful hair (both days)…and are those tator tot nachos??? Because I'm drooling right now!!!

Love your hair !!!! Beautiful as ever π
I have a confession…. I was never a die hard Full House fan. Sure I knew all their names, story line, etc, but I really thought it was cheesy. haha. However, I totally fell for Fuller House, and I love Candace Cameron!
Biana, I demand you release your hair secrets. (;
Love having my hair done! Yours looks amazing! And those flowers are giving me a lot of Spring feelings <3
