Happy Monday lovelies!! I’m sure a lot of you are already enjoying this week off, if so, lucky ducks!! Remember I mentioned last weekend was the calm before the storm, this weekend was the first wave!
My weekend started out a bit early because Friday afternoon I attended my department luncheon which was held at Blu Restaurant! We were all taking the views in thinking we were transported into NYC which I guess isn’t that far off from the Boston skyline!
That night our friend was having a little welcome back party at Highball Lounge. I’ve been to Highball a few times and each time I love it more and more! The bartender was on fire, quite literally…I joked that he was the best mixologist I’ve ever seen!
Aside from your childhood games being readily available you can also write on the glass windows, which obviously I had to leave a shameless plug on!!
My new favorite place in Boston has to be Assemble Row. Outlet shopping and nice restaurants all in one place = one happy girl!! We tried out Earls Kitchen + Bar and instead of the usual italian style calamari they make it a little more Mediterranean with greek yogurt and olives – so good! The Santa Fe chicken salad was equally amazing!
We made a pretty brilliant discovery at Trader Joe’s this weekend and that was their French Truffle chèvre – out of this world good cheese!! This little package didn’t make it past Saturday night since it served as our midnight snack later that night!!
Gary and I were party animals Saturday night and after our first stop of the night on one side of Boston we made our way to say Happy Birthday/goodbye to my good friend Jess as she makes her way across the pond!! Sorry for the dazed looks on our faces, but a bright flash in a dark lounge makes us all appear a little drunky!! We had an amazing night at Bastille Kitchen and actually can’t wait to go back and try some of their food!
My sister & BIL had us over on Sunday to celebrate Christmas/Hannukah and one of the gifts I got my niece was her first sewing kit. Let’s just say it was the blind leading the blind reading the directions!!
And just like that it was Sunday night and I was able to end the weekend with a nice glass of wine in the new stemsmy sister gifted us for Christmas!!
Don’t forget…
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and link up with Meghan and me to share your weekends with us!!
xo,

Looks like an awesome and busy weekend indeed. I LOVE that cheese, so yummy!
I'm learning how to sew more now, too. Great gift for your niece.
Love the last picture of the wine and the tree…PERFECTION!!!
Have a great Monday, dear friend!
Your weekend sounds just as jam-packed with family and friends and perfect as mine felt! So glad you got to spend the day with your family celebrating the holidays early. (P.S. I have a sewing machine and still have yet to use it, so I'd be the extra blind leading the blind leading the blind lol).
You and your dress on Saturday looked fab!! The tights were worth the pain lol
Your wine glasses are so pretty!!! So glad you had a great weekend girl! 😉
Wow what a busy yet great weekend!! That is some fire the bartender has going on there! And I need that goat cheese immediately. I think I might make a trip to Trader Joe's today! Glad you got to spend time with your family this weekend! Ugh, I wish I knew how to sew! Happy Monday love!

Blind leading the blind, I love it! I took a sewing class with a friend and we were both almost clueless but together kind of managed lol! I can't wait for our Christmas luncheon tomorrow yours looked like fun! Writing on the glass?! Sounds like a really cool place!! Happy Monday!
Oh gosh see!? That's why I got my niece nail polish! I can totes direct her in that department 🙂 I'm not sure anyone wants me trying to show them how to sew! Sounds like such a lovely weekend!
looks like such a fun weekend! i need to try that goat cheese 🙂 xo jillian – cornflake dreams
I can't even sew a button on Marks shirt. I have to take it down to my mom isn't that terrible? Ohhhh love those new wine glasses! Those mixologist type bar tenders are so fun to watch they really are so talented! Looks like you guys had a fabulous weekend miss you!!!!!
That Santa Fe Salad looks so good. Hope your niece gets into sewing with her gift, it's such a good skill to have as she gets older. That glass is gorgeous, i like what's in it even better! 😉
Looks like a fabulous holiday weekend! And loving the shameless plug on the window, totally something I would do too 🙂
Such a fun weekend – what a perfect way to lead up to Christmas! I love the "shameless plug" on the glass window, haha – might as well take advantage of free advertising! 🙂
That Santa Fe Chicken Salad looks incredible! I love anything that has a southwest/Mexican flavor. YUM!
This looks like the perfect holiday weekend!! Family, food, prezzies, the best!!
The chicken salad looks sooo good and so does that cheese. I need a trader joe's to pop up around here. There is one, just not super close. Love the shameless plug comment! lol That's awesome. Glad to see your enjoying the holidays! xo
What a fun weekend! Love that you wrote on the window! And those wine glasses are awesome! Have a great week!
Looks like such an amazing weekend! I am hitting TJ's this morning, so I am definitely going to check out that cheese! Have a wonderful Christmas Biana!

Sounds like a fabulous weekend! You were definitely kept busy and got to celebrate so many fun things!! Love the views from your luncheon and all the delicious meals you got to try. I will have to pick up that goat cheese next time I got to TJ's. Did you eat it with crackers!!
Love those wine glasses! Anything monogram and I’m sold 🙂
Way to plug your blog girl!
I think I need to get to Trader Joe's to try that cheese.
What a fun-busy weekend! I am trying to find a place for my husband's 30th birthday bash, and you gave me a few different places to look into just in this one post — thanks!
I need to go visit Tomas at Highball! He was our fave bartender at McGreevys!

Sounds like a whirlwind of a weekend! Love those monogram wine glasses – so pretty. I'm so bad at sewing too. We learned how in 7th grade home-ec class, but I can't remember. I can manage sewing on a button, but it's pretty haphazard. It's definitely not pretty. But that's a great gift! Hope you have a good week!
Looks like a fun party! Love your purple dress! That color looks so pretty on you! I love your monogramed glass- I love things that are personalized! Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday season!

I need to start taking a marker & plugging my blog on all windows… even if you're not supposed to 🙂 haha
Looks like you had a fab weekend! And I love that you left your blog on the window — so cute! Happy Christmas Week!
xo Southern Style
That Boston skyline sure looks beautiful – we need to get out there one of these days! What a fun weekend – I think it's adorable that you gifted your niece a sewing kit! I'm sure she loved it. Oh, and your window drawing plug for your blog made me laugh for some reason – we need to publicize all we can get right?! Happy Monday, girl!
That view is beautiful. Love those monogrammed wine glasses too! How funny would it be for someone to comment on here "I found your blog/site after going to that bar." Haha. I can't sew at all. When I loose a button on a coat, I have to ask my parents for help lol. That food looks delicious, and I will have to look for that cheese at Trader Joes! I hope that you're enjoying your day so far too lady! 🙂
What a great weekend! That food looks amazing! I loooove your wine glasses too 🙂 What a great gift! I hope people found your blog from that. That'd be awesome!!
what a fabulous weekend! love how your wrote your blog link on the window…very creative 🙂 happy monday!!!

I know I always say this, but I love reading about your weekends. You guys always have the best time!! The food looks divine!!! And next time I go to TJ's I'm getting that cheese.
What an amazing weekend! That cheese seriously sounds amazing but I don't know if I've ever met a bad cheese! I'm loving the elf quote! Now I want to go watch it for the 14th time this year! 😉

I've said this before but I'll say it again…I'm so jealous of all the delicious food you always post about! It all looks so yummy! Sounds like the perfect start to a busy holiday season!
Wow, what a wonderful weekend! That Mediterranean-style calamari sounds amazing! I love your purple dress in the goodbye party photos-you look so great in purple! 🙂
Goodness, what a fun, BUSY weekend!! And your hair… GORG! I can't believe it's Christmas week! I hope it's the best ever for you!
Looks like so much fun!!! Love those monogrammed wine glasses! And that Trader Joe's cheese is now on my list – my fav!!!
What a fun weekend!! Love Trader's Joe!!
Calamari with a Mediterranean twist sounds so amazing right now. I feel like I always become insanely hungry after reading your weekend recaps. And that cheese, Trader Joe's has the best selection. Have you ever tried their dark chocolate cheddar? It's a lot better than it sounds.

Sounds like such a great weekend! Happy Holidays!

How fun! Sounds like you guys had a great weekend! That cheese looks delish! I will have to pick some up on my next run to TJ's! You know what a TJ's groupie I am! Hehe!
Oooh that calamari looks amazing… I'm intrigued! And goat cheese… I have yet to find one I don't like. Looks like a fab weekend:) Cheers to a great week!
Hahaha, a little drunky! You guys look fine! I've seen worse (me). That's such a sweet gift for her – I got fabric swatches when I was younger and it completely inspired me. What if she becomes a famous designer! You can take all the credit for it! Lol.

Chèvre is my absolute favorite! I haven't seen that in my local TJ's but I'll defintrly be on the lookout when I'm back in Crow. town for it! Gosh you had an absolute whirlwind weekend, looks both fun and exhausting! I totally love the wine glass as well- subtle but classy monogram.

Such a fun recap/weekend! Every time you do a new review of somewhere near you it makes me want to visit that much more! Happy Monday friend! xoxo
What a fun weekend! Out of this entire post I can't get over how good that calamari looks/sounds! haha. Also, your new wine glasses are so pretty. Love the pictures of you at your friend's going away party- purple is definitely your color– even with the flash 🙂
The goat cheese sounds amazing, I'll have to give it a try!
I just love olives so I am sure the calamari & olives were amazing. The skyline is pretty and I did not have Boston of my list of places to go – I am thinking I should change that.
Your weekend looks amazing and thanks for the lil Monday coffee 🙂
What a fun weekend! Sounds like you had a ton of fun! All of the food looks amazing, especially that chocolate thing! 😉 Happy Monday!

So no lie.. one day I'm coming to Boston and you're going to take me to all these amazing places to eat! Your post always have the best food pictures!
Per usual, so much good food. I probably make that comment every Monday but it's always true ha. That view of the city is stunning – one more reason to visit B-town!
Sounds like you had such a fun weekend, albeit rather busy!

It sounds like you had a real busy weekend and I am kind of sort of jealous! As a NYer, I would take the clean, hip city of Boston over the dirty, super crowded streets of Manhattan anytime. Haha Boston has always been my favorite city since I visited the first time as a little girl. 🙂
SO LOVE your weekend recap. I am dying to get to Boston to try out these places! xo
Highball sounds like such a fun place!!
You weekends always look like so much fun!! I have yet to visit Boston, but I can't wait to visit some of these places when I finally do!
