Weekending


Hello lovelies!! We made it through another weekend and I for one am ready to tackle the week ahead!! I had a great time relaxing at home, catching up on Breaking Bad (we finally made it to season 4), brunching and wedding planning…more on that soon! 

Weekending







{Friday}


Remember that Faux Fur Vest from ChicWish I ordered over a month ago?! Well it finally arrived because it was on back order and I’m in love! Gary has promised me that I don’t look like a yeti!! I can’t wait to wear it!! 

 There is nothing I love more than going out for sushi and watching a movie at home on Friday nights, a huge change from a few years ago! There were a few movies that were watchable, but we decided to try Draft Day and since I’m a football fan I didn’t mind it. The acting could have been a bit better – I mean P.Diddy plays an agent if that says anything! 

{Saturday}

So Friday I hinted at some exciting news and on Saturday I was doing some wedding planning…obviously not for my wedding but my for my client!! I am beyond honored that my friend Stephanie asked me to help plan her July wedding!!! It’s no secret around these parts that I’m wedding obsessed and to have the opportunity to jump start this dream of mine is beyond words!! 

Stephanie is the most laid back bride ever and bouncing ideas of one another makes this experience so enjoyable!! They have chosen a beautiful location for their wedding and here’s one of their beautiful engagement photos!

After a full day of planning I was exhausted so pizza and Breaking Bad were our Saturday night plans!! Supposedly they are coming out with a season 6!!??  I was also able to pick up my wedding dress from the cleaners and it’s time to sell that bad boy!! 

{Sunday}

Started our Sunday the best way possible – with a few good drinks and some delicious food!! If you’ve never been to Cafeteria I highly suggest a visit!! The food was so good and the company was even better!! My friend Kim just moved back to Boston from NYC and I’m so happy there will be many more brunches and dinners in our future!!  

We spent the rest of the day enjoying the Fall weather and starting our Christmas shopping…that’s right – Gary is the master of getting shopping done well before December!! 

And now we are back to Monday and I am in complete agreement with the quote above! 

How was your weekend?! Hope you guys have a great start to your week!

    Happy Monday! That fur vest is seriously perfect! I love the length and the color of the fur is so good for fall and winter! And I have to say that brunching is one of my favorite hobbies! I think I am going to make my husband have a date night with me that includes sushi and a movie in 🙂

    YAYYYYY!! So excited that you'll get to plan your friends wedding! What an honor! We saw draft day in the theaters! Agree about the acting, but I really enjoyed the movie! (I'm so immersed in the football world but know so little–so it was like a tutorial for me haha)

    I hate to burst your bubble but they aren't really making a season 6 of BB snopes.com/media/notnews/breakingbad.asp I fell for it too. I have Draft Day sitting on my counter right now. I'll still watch it but I'm sad that it wasn't amazing because I was really looking forward to it.

    Hooray for wedding planning! That is SO exciting! I'm starting to do the same thing with a few of my friends, and it has been an absolute best. Let's go into business together. 🙂 Otherwise, it seems like you had the perfect weekend – food, fun and relaxation! Happy Monday, girl!

    Friday really is about just recovering from the week so it is better spent inside with a movie. She will be a gorgeous bride and I am sure you will help making her wedding spectacular. I am all about getting Christmas shopping done early. No need to mess with the crowds. Breaking Bad Season 6, say what?! So excited!

    I really should be starting Christmas shopping early… I normally kick it off after Black Friday/Thanksgiving to get some good deals!

    October 20, 2014 / 1:26 pm

    I will also be done shopping before December, aside from booze which I always buy a week before. So much less stressful!

    Woop woop wedding planning! That's great! Is that something you're looking to do full time?

    I am LOVING that vest! So gorgeous..and you will rock it. Do I spy your wedding hanger, by chance?

    I agree with you that weekend nights in are the best. I don't even miss going out all that much. And of course you needed your rest for a long day of wedding planning…how fun!

    And ending the weekend with brunch. My absolute favorite thing to do! Have a great week girl!

    Congrats on the wedding planning, that's so exciting! Definitely my dream job 🙂

    Those mimosas look yummy right about now, and yayyyy for early Christmas shopping. My family thought I was crazy that I was already asking for gift ideas, but it's much better to start now then to do it all between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    Christmas shopping?!?! Girl, you cray cray! But I'll be jealous you have it all together while I scramble last minute… I'm going to try to get it done by the end of Nov. this year… We'll see. I'm a big Dec. 24th shopping-offender!

    What a perfect weekend!!
    I loved Jennifer Garner in Draft Day, but then again, I just plain love her. So I guess I'm biased, ha!
    Okay, where were those photos of you and your friend taken? I can't decide if we visited that spot back in late July?!

    We just finished Breaking Bad this weekend, and I swear I teared up that it was over, so reading that there is a season six JUST made my day! Also, how exciting that you're coordinating a wedding! That's exactly how I got into it on the side as well – I loved planning mine, and friends started to ask me to help, and then their friends asked, and now I have a registered side biz 🙂 How fun!
