To say we had a blast this weekend would be an understatement! Before I get into the happenings I’d like to take a moment to wish a Happy belated Father’s Day to my dad (who reads my blog daily)!!
He’s a fantastic man that has managed to give me (and my sister) the world and for that I will be eternally grateful!!
~Eat~
I am happy to report that the risotto I mentioned in Friday’s post was Ah-May-Zing!!! I’ll admit I was a bit scared to make risotto from scratch, but the recipe was easy to follow and the end result was “restaurant worthy fantastic” – direct quote from the man!
+Saturday night our friends introduced us to Casa Romero, an authentic Mexican restaurant nestled into a side street between Newbury & Commonwealth. It’s been a Boston staple for over 40 years and once you step in through the doors you feel transported!!
+Sunday brunch took us to Clery’s! I had the lobster quesadilla’s (sans tortilla and just had the filling) and while I totally didn’t get a picture of Gary’s dish…let’s just say it included some tater tots! Clery’s holds a pretty special place in my heart since it’s where we had our first date and also where we ate before Gary proposed!!
~Drink~
Friday after work called for some drinks at City Bar. Located inside the Lenox Hotel, this cozy little spot has some of the best drinks in the city – including my absolute favorite, the Bellini!
~Be Happy~
Our friends got the cutest pup a few months back and we finally met little Koa and I mean, is she not the cutest thing ever?!
It was puppy love at first sight!!
~Brunching~
After brunch we went to SOWA in the South End. It’s an open air market held every weekend for the entire summer.
I came pretty close to buying some of these cute pillows! I also found a pretty fantastic fashion illustratorthat showed great custom work!! Now to find a reason to get another illustration…
Sunday night was capped off with some fresh cherries from the market!
How was your weekend?!
xo,
Looks like a wonderful weekend. THat picture with the dog is so cute and I love all of those pillows. Le Husband don'ts understand my obsession, but I adore them.
And that green dress is so fun!!! HOpe you have a great day!
Looks like you had a fabulous weekend. Your risotto looks great and I love that green patterned dress you are wearing. Love the pillows and I planned to buy cherries yesterday and I forgot! They are the best summer snack. XO
That puppy is so precious!! Glad to hear that risotto was as good as it looked. Fun weekend!
What a perfect weekend, Koa is so CUTE! I want her. Looks like you had some great eating out dates this weekend, you look so pretty at brunch!
That puppy is CUTE!!! I want one now! And those pillows are awesome! We are planning to re-decorate our living room and instead of buying new couches, we will just put covers on them.. and we want new pillows. We were looking at pillows very similar to those up there!!!
I love outdoor markets. They always have the best food. Those cherries – yum!
What a fun weekend! You look beautiful in the brunch picture, love you hair! Also that puppy is SO cute! SOWA sounds so cool!
Oh man what a fun little market! I wish I lived closer so the train didn't cost so much to go into the city for a few hrs…Also my dad is subscribed to my blog but he only reads the ones I tell him too haha. It's the thought right 🙂
love your recap and how CUTE is that pup? swoon.
What a perfect weekend. Koa is ADORABLE…that face is precious! And I love those pillows!
Am I not seeing the place to link or have I not had enough coffee this morning yet? I love that picture of you with the puppy you look so happy! I mean is there any better city than Boston in the Summer? With the open window brunching, open air markets and Sox games? I am so excited to get up there! The countdown is on! Looks like a fabulous weekend! xoxoxo
All that food looks delicious! SO jealous! And that pup is absolutely adorable!! And your hair looks amazing in that brunch picture! I wish my hair was as thick as yours!!

Sounds like you had a fun weekend, I'm so glad! 🙂 Love that puppy, she is the cutest thing. You look so pretty in your brunching picture! Is that a maxi dress that you're wearing? I love the print, and your earrings. Love those pillows too, (they'd be perfect for your future beach house in Newport haha) bellni's are fab, and I'm glad that the recipe turned out well. That market looks really fun as well. I love that kind of stuff. Have a wonderful day lady! 🙂

I need to go to all the places you mentioned. That quesadilla, damn! Love your green dress! Once I move it'll be so much easier for us to meet up…and go to City Bar for bellinis!!
Sounds like a great weekend and looks like perfect weather! Great job on the risotto!
I'm not really a dog person (weird, I know) but that pup is soooo adorable!!! French bulldogs are so cute… glad you had a great weekend! (ps. bellinis are my favorite too!)
What a precious little pup, and oh my goodness, all those pillows! Too cute!
That risotto sounds delish! And that puppy is the cutest!! Sounds like a fun weekend! thanks for the link up!!
I don't know what I love more… the adorable puppy or lobster quesadilla's?! Yum! Glad the risotto turned out well – I mean restaurant quality good, haha! Glad you guys had a good weekend 🙂
Just letting you know that I'm on my way up there to steal that puppy. There's nothing you can do to stop it. He's too cute! Sounds like your weekend was awesome, yay! 🙂
Oh mannn that puppy is soo cute!! We thought about getting a french bulldog before we found Deedee 🙂 They are adorable!! What a fun weekend! Love those Mr. and Mrs. pillows…and your risotto looks perfect! xx
Love the picture of you and your dad! And all that food…yum! Those pillows are a perfect find too — looks like a great weekend! xo
You clearly had a great weekend! That risotto looks absolutely delicious … I made a risotto recipe a couple weeks ago, and while I photographed it for the blog, I've been debating to share it or not since it didn't turn out the way I was hoping. Maybe I'll try again! That puppy is on another level of cuteness!
I really love those photos, so cute.
The risotto is one of my favorite dishes (I'm italo-american jajajaj).
What amazing blog

Um, that puppy?! Stop it. Also, that lobster quesadilla looks fantastic. Also, I love that market with those gorgeous pillows. And when was the last time I told you I was jealous of your hair? xo
I need to get to SOWA at some point. Love the pillows you found! And definitely going to try that risotto recipe!
Your posts always make me wish I could transport to Boston for a weekend! It looks like such a great weekend, what's better than brunch, great Mexican food, and delicious drinks? That risotto looks so good- though I don't think I've ever had any!

Wow!! What a great weekend! 🙂 Your risotto looks great…turned out really well! Those drinks look yummy too. And that puppy…oh my gosh…adorable! Great photo of you…love your outfit!!
Your posts make me miss Boston!!! Really want to try that mexican restaurant out! YUM! Xxxx.
hello Biana! first time linking up with you. Wow what a great weekend you had! the pup is adorable, i love risotto but never had the guts to try making it at home. i always think of gordon ramsay in hell's kitchen when i hear "risotto" lol but it's one of my favorite foods to order out at italian restaurants. isn't it the best when your husband/boyfriend/fiance compliments your meals? it makes me feel so good inside 🙂 have a great one!
That is so impressive that you made risotto, it's not easy. Looks yummie. I so want to check out Sowa, I hear such great things about it. Happy Monday.
Best, Mree
Good grief you are gorgeous! Looks like a great weekend once again and I'm so down with trying that risotto! haha Have a great day girl! ox
Looks like such a nice weekend. What's up with everyone and the delicious looking food today in their posts! It's making me so hungry!

Those pillows are fabulous! And you look gorgeous! Happy Monday! :))
Such a great weekend. Love your top/dress from brunch! I need that puppy asap. And then I'll need a new husband though ha.
Sounds like a fabulous weekend! I love a good Bellini, too 😉
Hello there! This is my first time linking up with you – thank you for hosting! Looks like you had lots of fun this weekend. I'm amazed you didn't snatch up each and every one of those pillows…you obviously have much more self control than me!

i love homemade risotto, well risotto in general. it takes a bit of a commitment to make it but it always turns out delicious and yummy and i love the varieties we can make putting in whatever veggies or proteins we like best. those cherries look delish by the way
Now are you Italian? Should I know that already? Impressive job on the risotto. You always eat real good. If I ever need to travel to Boston again for work I will need your restaurant picks!
