Happy Monday & Happy March! I was so excited to greet this weekend because this is selfishly my favorite month…birthday’s, anniversaries and hopefully warmer weather!
On Friday we had a full on binge marathon of House of Cards. I’m pretty sure the rest of the country did as well and Frank Underwood did not disappoint!! What is disappointing is having to wait another year for the next season! Thought it was worth mentioning that we watched the season over the course of three days…not one night!
A few months ago I found a Gilt City deal for a wine tasting with City Wine Tours. I chose the Back Bay tour (they offer four different neighborhoods) and for a little over two hours on Saturday we made our way to three different restaurants in the Back Bay.
I’ve been on a few wine tours/tastings and Gary & I both enjoyed this one the most…probably because each restaurant offered a little sample of their cuisine that would pair nicely with the wine that we were tasting!
Julia Child signed this ginormous bottle of wine for the owner of Legal Seafood.
We got a behind the scenes tour of the kitchen at one of the top restaurants in Boston and the best part, I didn’t feel like we were trying to be sold any wine! Just an enjoyable afternoon!
After the tour we had a little game night at our friends house and snuck some time in with my favorite frenchie! Finally played Cards Against Humanity and for the first time in over 15 years played Scattegories, which is much harder than I remember!
I took a break from House of Cards for a little retail therapy, err spending of some gift cards that were burning a hole in my wallet!! I went with my go-to Snob (don’t you just love the names they come up with) from MAC and also picked up a new blush from Bobbi Brown (Pretty Pink) that I’m excited to try out! I picked up a few macaron’s and indulged in a stack of magazines to end the weekend!
And to start this Monday in a fun way…
I’ve partnered with some wonderful blogging ladies and wishing you luck to win this gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff purse!
Hope you have a great start to your week!!

That wine tour looked great girl! I always love when they have food pairings. I needed some retail therapy on Sunday as well…..it really helps right? Yeah for birthday month!!!! Hope you have a fabulous day love! xoxoxo
That pizza looks soooo delicious! I love that the wine tour extra didn't feel like they were trying to sell you any wine. Sign me up! Yay for Birthday month!!
I've always thought about doing stuff with Gilt City, but never taken the plunge. The wine tour looks like so much fun! I think I am going to look into some of their offerings for our trip to the States at the end of the month.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! Hope you have a wonderful week.
What a perfect weekend! A little retail therapy should be part of every weekend!

stll haven't played CAH but want too badly! We found Scattergories in the game closet and work and the 5 yr old loves it. I hadn't played it since I was in middle school!
I knew I wasn't alone in my House of Cards watching….LOL And what a fun game night! Have a great week!!
Love a good wine tour – it sounds like you had a great weekend!

Wine tours are so much fun. How cool Julia Child signed a bottle? That game night sounds like a blast and retail therapy is fun, no matter what. How you have a great day!
I LOVE wine tours–it's such a fun way to find new wineries and wines that you love–and when you go with a good group it always makes it that much more fun!
We started House of Cards but only made it through 4 episodes I think because we are trying to space them out some. Still that likely means we'll be done by next weekend haha.
Love a good group hang out at home–and any night that involves Cards Against Humanity is always sure to be a hysterical one!
Hope you're off to a good start to the week!!
That wine tour looks fabulous! So jealous. Once again our lives are totally similar with the pizza and board games and house of cards 🙂 Heading back up now to enter that gorgeous giveaway. Happy Monday!
I love this post – so many wonderful things in one weekend!! We are planning to Watch House of Cards this week. That wine tour looked absolutely amazing! Scattegories & Cards Against Humanity are two of my favorites!
Hooray for the start of your favorite month!! 😉 Looks like you enjoyed a really fabulous weekend! Hope the week ahead is every bit as lovely! xo
Yayyyy for birthday month and hopefully more signs of spring! That wine tasting looked fabulous, one of my favorite activities on a Saturday afternoon 🙂
And YES to House of Cards! We definitely binge watched this weekend too, but unfortunately didn't get to finish the season just yet. Hoping we will tonight or tomorrow!
Looks like a great time!! We binge watched House of Cards too although haven't finished it yet!
The wine tour sounds fabulous, I like that you got a behind the scenes tour too. Game nights are so much fun! Sounds like a great weekend!
The wine tour looks like lots of fun! I always love a little food tasting to go with the wine 🙂 And I haven't played Scattegories in a long time either, that game was always so much fun!!!!
I haven't watched House of Cards, I don't like waiting long between seasons, maybe when it ends completely I will binge it haha! Have a great week!
This post was eye candy to me with all of the wine! Sounds like a great weekend girl! And that flat bread you guys had at wine tasting looks delish!
That wine tour sounds amazing! We are wine club members and do all kinds if events with the winery we belong to! I'd love to do some Boston wine tastings! Happy Monday!
What a fun weekend! I can't believe Ryan and I have never watched House of Cards – we're a bit behind on that one! Wine tastings are so fun, and it sounds like you had a great one. Happy Monday!
Looks like a great weekend!
What a fun weekend! I've been hearing so many things about house of cards! I definitely need to check that out! Oh a wine tasting tour sounds amazing! So glad you had fun! Happy Monday!

I've been rationing House of Cards. I'm still in season two. I'm trying to spread it out! LOL
I love MAC Snob, it's one of my favorites.
ah what a great weekend! i mean who didn't watch HOC! so good. i'm only 3 eps in though. i'm kinda liking making it last a little longer this time 🙂 that wine tour looks like it was awesome too! here's hoping march is warmer for you guys! xo

I haven't watched House of Cards yet and think I need to start! I have also never played Cards Against Humanity and until recently, hadn't even heard of it…. too the point that I accused my cousin-in-law (is that a thing?) of playing Dungeon and Dragons-like card games! 🙂
That tour sounds like a lot of fun. I love the idea of going wine tasting in a city. Cards against humanity is so much fun!

i've only been to two wine tours and both times, i don't remember the tour finishing because i'm a dummy, get too excited about all the wines and end up getting too drunk to remember anything. so no more wine tours for me.
i LOVE bobbi brown cosmetics!! she has the best lip colours and shimmer bricks.
Your weekend sounds like so much fun! I haven't played Scattegories in years either but it used to be my jam, haha. Cheers to our birthday month kick-off! 🙂
That tour sounds fab!! Your friends dog is SO cute too!! The color of that purse is gorgeous too and has me dreaming of spring!!! Happy Monday lady!! 🙂
Oh my.. I just started house of cards, but shut it off after the First episode! Maybe I'll keep going! What a great giveaway! So exciting! Xo
Awe, this seriously sounds like a PERFECT weekend! Binge watching shows, playing in the back bay (since I'm not a wine drinker, ha ha), friends, games and good food?! Sign me up!
I am definitely hoping you get warmer weather this month as well!!
House of Cards!!!! We just got everything set up from our move to start it last night, but only got 2 episodes in before nearly passing out from exhaustion. We have a full-on binge planned for next weekend! Is it weird to say that my closet Hollywood crush is Kevin Spacey? I know, I know. I've loved him since I was about 7 though!
I'm a sucker for a good wine tour, especially when there is food involved!! We haven't yet started HoC Season 3 but I guess we'll need to soon so we don't run into any spoilers. Glad you had such a nice weekend!

The wine tasting sounds like a fabulous time! The Frenchie is SO cute! Lola loves to stick out her tongue like that. Cards Against Humanity always has us in stitches! Sounds like a fun night with friends.
Everyone is talking about House of Cards! I really think I need to start watching it…

mmm all the wine!!! And what a fun giveaway! Sounds like a great weekend to me! (I may have tried some red over the weekend….) 🙂
I could go for a wine tour right about now!!
OMG Scattergories, I haven't played that in YEARS! I do remember it being pretty challenging! Yay for pampering and gift cards! Looks like a perfect weekend!
The wine tasting tour sounds like so much fun. Yay to Birthday Month. Retail therapy is always fun.
I love wine tours…yours looked like so much fun! Can't wait to read what you think of the Bobbi Brown blush! 🙂
I think everyone I know stayed in this weekend and watched house of cards haha! We don't have a Netflix account (shocking I know!) so I have never seen it before!!

Sign me up for anything with wine, especially tastings/tours.. yours looks like such a fun day! Yay for your month full of celebrations!
Sounds like an absolutely perfect weekend. I was determined to finish the second season of House of Cards this weekend, so we could start the third, but alas, we never got around to it. I'm dying to catch up! That wine tour sounds wonderful, what a perfect way to spend Saturday. I need to look into Guilt City, see if they have anything in Phoenix.
Hope you have a great week, Biana!

The wine tour sounds like an awesome time. Haha I feel like I had my own little wine tour in our apartment Saturday night while it rained.
Just followed you on Instagram!
Snob is one of my favorite pinks by MAC! So soft and pretty — I bet it's gorgeous on you! And 3 days is still a pretty good record for a binge watch! I can't sit still long enough to binge watch anything so I always feel left out! Lol!

I had no time to binge watch HOC but the first episode was sooo good! I hate that we will have to wait so long for new Netflix stuff. Ugh. The wine tasting looks super fun!
Yay for a great weekend — love that top inspration! And I love new makeup — it's the best feeling!

Love Scattegories and Cards Against Humanity. Looks like a great weekend!
What a fab weekend…well, any weekend filled with that much wine is great in my book! I need to check out a wine tour – haven't done one in ages and I think I've seen some around Omaha. And what a great giveaway…definitely throwing my name in the hat for that!
I loved playing Cards Against Humanity, so much fun!
Definitely entering the giveaway))

Y'all wasted no time with HOC haha. I got in 4 episodes. I WANT that Frenchie and am so jealous of your play time with her. What a fantastic weekend (wine tours where they don't try to over-sell you!? Yes please!).
I'm trying to decide how I want to use my retail therapy Baha! All the food looks great – sounds like a great weekend!

That card game looks fun, a couple of my friends and I maybe playing it this weekend can't wait haha 🙂

Sounds like you had a great weekend 🙂 I've been craving a macaron lately, I need to track one down!
Looks like a perfect weekend to me! I just started House of Cards season one this weekend – I know, I'm majorly behind!
PS Stags Leap is one of my favorite wines. I toured their vineyard in Napa and it was amazing!!
Great giveaway too 🙂

You just made me want to pull out my Scattegories game now… I love good brain games.
I only watched three episodes of season 3 this weekend – I'm impressed you made it through all of it! I will in good time 🙂
Everyone is talking about House of Cards!! I have to get into it.
I still cannot believe that you watched the whole season of House of Cards! we are going to try to drag it out but probably not more than a few more weeks! Frank is seriously turning crazy.
Love that you watched the entire House of Cards season this weekend!! We were slackers and only got in 4 episodes, hopefully a few more this week! What else is there to do when it's this cold out?!
I started House of Cards but only got through the first episode before falling asleep! Mom life! Oh well, I'll chug through it. So far, so good! A wine tour sounds like so much fun! Looks like you had a fun and relaxing weekend 🙂

I love that you played Scattergories! That used to be my favorite game and the last time I was at my parent's house we wanted to play it but it was no where to be found– so sad! haha The wine tour sounds like so much fun, plus what a bonus to try out food and each of the places too! We're trying to space out HOC and are only 4 episodes in so far… does it pick up at all? I need Frank to start taking control of things again, haha.
I'm so glad you were able to get out and do something fun this weekend! I need to look into wine tours around Charlotte, what a neat way to check out a new area and restauraunt.

Sounds like an amazing weekend! There aren't enough places locally to do a wine tour here, but two wine bars recently opened here, so I plan on taking advantage of the "flights" that they offer. 🙂 I bought a new MAC lipstick this weekend, as well! Can't wait for it to arrive 🙂
XX, SS || A Little Seersucker Sass
Pete's really into House of Cards, too. He watched the whole season on Saturday. I love when they come out like that but I'm with you… it still sucks having to wait a YEAR for the NEXT season to come out!
So jealous of your macarons… they're impossible to find out here! 🙁
i haven't gotten into house of cards…. yet. i'm the worst tv watcher haha. a wine tour sounds awesome – i was jealous of all your insta's over the weekend. hope you get some warm weather soon!
I'm obsessed with all products Bobbi Brown, so I just know that blush has got to be a winner! But sure to let us know!
And I need to catch up on House of Cards! I'm about half-way through Season 2. Eeep!
I like the idea of cards against humanity game.
That wine tour looks fab! I absolutely love wine tours and how fun that they paired it with some food! Cheers!
LOVE! Of course I love that you went to MAC and bought some products. I adore their lipstick. I also am loving the House of Cards marathon but I am a bit disappointed with the season thus far, honestly! Hope you had a great weekend.

Love your wine tour! So jealous! And yesss for binge watching House of Cards and Cards against Humanity! That's what we did this weekend, too! I'll have to check out MAC's lipstick! xo
Wine wine wine!! Love this! And pizza too. My kind of weeekend!
I love this type of weekend retail therapy combined with gift cards makes for a good time! lachiquitamissi.com
Ahhh! LOVE the MAC counter! My fave lipstick is High Tea. 🙂 Oh I used to love Allure! I need to pick one up the next time I'm at the store.
That wine tour sounds awesome and I'm loving your retail therapy + macaroons time. I have never tried a MAC lipstick. I definitely need to try out more of their products because the one I have, I love! Great giveaway too lady! Perfect for Spring!!
That wine tour looks like so much fun…love that they did the food pairings!
For a second I thought, man what a binge session. They finished a whole season in one night! That would have been a new record or something! The wine tasting sounds like so much fun! I wish we had more stuff like that to do in our small town!
