Happy Monday friends! I was pretty excited for this past weekend for a few reasons – getting to meet a blog friend for the first time, going to the brand new City Target that opened and spending the day with my oldest niece celebrating her birthday – happy to report everything was checked off the list! Before the weekend started I was able to check out the rooftop pool and bar at the Colonnade Hotel in Boston.
I along with a few other bloggers were treated to a taste of the brand new food and cocktail menus. Sadly I didn’t get any pictures of the views, but that’s because I was busy stuffing my face with the incredible food – including the most delicious lobster rolls I’ve had this summer!! Chef Nick Calias is a genius and the presentation of the food was as good as it tasted!
Mini hot dogs and mini lobster rolls – you can imagine which ones I hit up first! The swordfish tacos were amazing and the presentation of the BBQ Shrimp was so fun! I can’t wait to go back!
I’ve tweeted my excitement that City Target is finally open in Fenway and Gary totally went along for the ride on Friday night! It’s still got that new Target smell and the best part is that it’s a grocery store and they sell alcohol, which is nearly impossible to find in any Massachusetts store!
Of course I bought a ton of things I didn’t need like these mini champagne bottles and finally being able to find the mini Sofia cans for my bar cart! Yes everything was pink and that wasn’t planned!
My oldest niece turned 10 last week and all she really wanted for her birthday was to spend one on one time together – of course I obliged and took her for a little pampering!
We had the best time getting her nails done, chatting away during lunch and taking her to Target to pick out something she had her eye on – I’d also like to point out the fishtail braid done by yours truly!
That night we met up with Kate and her husband for dinner and some drinks!! I suggested Rosa Mexicano since I know how much they love Mexican food! It felt like meeting up with an old friend, we picked up as if we had just seen each other last weekend and that is the part of blogging that I love – so many new friends!
I was so excited to show them The Envoy Hotel roof top bar because it really does have some of the best views of Boston’s skyline!
If you have a visit planned to Boston this is a must visit stop!
Sunday can be described in two words – clean & eat…and then shop to get office supplies that you don’t need! I also made an incredible recipe that I can’t wait to share with you tomorrow! But enough about the weekend and let’s get to a giveaway this Monday! I’ve teamed up with some great ladies and one lucky winner will get a pair of these gorgeous Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings! This giveaway is open to international residents as well!
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week and link up below to share your weekends with us!

Ohhh I want some pink Relax!! I've never seen that before! I'm so happy that you got a Target! Only of my only requests when house hunting was that it was within 10 mins of a Target lol. I saw on Kate's Snapchat that she was in Boston but I didn't know you guys met up – that is so awesome! Happy Monday!!
All the things you take for granted when you don't live in a city anymore. I remember how much I missed running and parking at Target or actually being able to just drive to my hair appointment. I do remember when I moved to Fl as was like "there is seriously alcohol in every single establishment I walk into….even a CVS!" Looks like you had a wonderful weekend!!! Yeah for Blogger meet up!!! Can't wait for ours in like less than 2 weeks crazy!!!!
So sweet that your niece just wanted to spend time together! YAY for the new Target!!
love that you got to meet her! she is the best! and who doesn't love mexican food? nom! we have one of those in Atl. and omg a new target–sign me up!
What a wonderful weekend!! The rooftop bar looks amazing!! Pretty neat you were able to spend so much time with other bloggers 🙂 I also love that you spent quality time with your niece- so special!!
The view on the rooftop bar looks amazing! So awesome you got to meet up with Kate. Your nieces braid came out awesome, good job! A little pampering is always a good thing!
It looks like it was such a fun weekend! Love that you had the chance to get your nails done together, what a great memory!

I saw those pics of you and Kate on Insta! Love it! How fun it is to hang with blog friends in real life? I wish we could have a big conference for our whole group, lol!
The food and presentation at your blogger event looks phenomenal! What I would do for a lobster roll right now! lol Sounds like you and Kate had an awesome dinner and night together. So glad you two got to meet while she was there! Rooftop drinks are the best when you're in the city.
Such a fun weekend! Those lobster rolls look amazing and jealous of your fun blate! Xx
looks like an awesome weekend, and that food, YUM!! the sofia champagne cans are amazing, I take them to the beach every time I go!
Ok the presentation of the food really was on point!! Love that you had a great weekend!

What a perfect weekend you had! The target opening might have to be my favorite – that’s a game changer! Meeting Kate must have been a blast too. I love rooftops and that sounds like such a fun event.
I'm drooling over that seafood ! and YAY for new Targets !
I love Target, soooo much. I go there at least once a week for my "staples". Yes, I could buy cat food somewhere else but why would I when I can get booze, shoes and a bunch of other things there??
I LOVE Target! I bet that was super exciting! That rooftop pool is so breathtaking and that is such a gorgeous shot! Your niece is absolutely adorable and so happy to hear that you both had such a great time!

what a fun weekend and how great that your niece just wanted to spend time with you – that is so special! The city Target looks awesome – there isn't anything better then a good trip to Target!
I can't tell you many times I shopped for "office supplies I didn't need'! Lol! It's like, a thing for me. And it's usually from Target's dollar section! They get me every time!

So awesome that you and Kate got to meet!!!!!!!!! City Target sounds fabulous, as does that food tasting that you got to go to. I haven't had a hot dog in so long. I really want one now!!! And Mexican. I always want Mexican. mmm!!! Good job on the fish tail braid!! I suck so hard at hair. Have a great week!!!
I want to go to that new Target! I've been to the one in Chicago and it's so cool!

I'd do anything to prance around that Target. Yes, prance, like a kid in a candy store. (; I REALLY love that olive colored dress you were rocking in these photos. What a lovely giveaway!
Looks like a great weekend and how awesome that you got to meet up with Kate! Those mini lobster and hot dog rolls look amazing! xo Winks and Eyerolls
Awww, you're such a great auntie! I saw your lobster roll post on IG and my mouth started watering. YUM! We're coming to Boston and then going out to Cape Cod in mid-Sept and I'm pretty excited to stuff my face with some delish lobster rolls!
I saw some of your photos on instagram and was super excited to see what you did over the weekend. I love those wine bottles, I'd probably buy those just to have them, not to drink them. That's great you got to see Kate, I haven't actually met anyone from blogging in the real world, but I feel like I've made so many friends from blogging.

Looks like a great weekend! Super jealous of your city Target and those sofia champagne bottles!

Yayyyyyy for City Target! The excitement level for the grand opening must have been through the roof! And that event looked amazing, such amazing presentation of all the yummy food. And YAY for finally meeting up, so much fun with you pretty lady! And the views from the roof top bar were incredible, so gorgeous up there. Hoping we see each other again soon 🙂
My Target has groceries too and I love it! Need to look for all those mini bottles of alcohol just because they are cute and pink… want! My daughters and I are obsessed with pretty office/school supplies. It must be genetic:) Cheers!
Ok, so your new Target gives me major anxiety but makes me insanely happy all at the same time. Such a cute bday outing with your niece! And what also makes ma happy…new school supplies!! And now I want a mini champs 😉
The rooftop event looks spectacular! I love the view and that pool is a must! And who knew there was a city Target! Love it! XO

I wish we still had Target here — it came to Canada and left so fast! Sounds like you had an amazing weekend — love the display of food and the skyline view 🙂

YAY for the City Target!! We have one here right in the Loop (along with a few others in the city) and it's awesome. That rooftop looks fab too, those views are beautiful! I'm glad that you had a fun weekend!! 🙂
OMG I didn't know "Relax" came in PINK!!!! I need to find that immediately – it's adorable, and probably so yummy!

SUCH a fun weekend!! So great that you and Kate were able to meet up! I'm still bummed I wasn't able to tag along on Nick's work trip to Boston this summer but I'm going to get there sooner rather than later 😉 And of course, yayayay for Target!
Oh fun! I loveee blogger meet ups! It's always so neat to meet the girls whose blogs you read on the daily! Those earrings have my name written all over them 🙂 ps did you get my email by chance? I think you replied a few times but it probably got lost in your inbox! Let me know if i should resend:)

Oh what fun! I love the mini Pink Moscato that you got. I could see myself buying one of those too. I just love all things pink with a touch of gold too! Belated happy birthday to your niece, her fishtail braid looks awesome!
i remember when chicago opened their city target! it was SO exciting! i still love the location of that one 🙂 so happy you had a great weekend and hoooray for blates! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Love these pictures! How fun you got to hang out with a blogger! Looks like a fun weekend!

Sounds like such a fun weekend! Those roof top views are stunning!
What a great weekend, I'm sure you'll be making tons of future trips to that Target!! That Colonnade Hotel rooftop looks amazing and a perfect way to spend a summer evening. Have a great week!
Grocery stores in Massachusetts don't usually sell alcohol? Are there specific liquor/wine stores?
That rooftop bar is gorgeous! I would love to spend an evening there. I have never heard of City Target. How is different from regular Target?
That rooftop pool and that food looks amazing! So much fun stuff to do in Boston. And I've never even heard of City Target (since I don't live in a city) but yay for a new one! Hope you had a great time with your niece…you can't ask for anything better than one on one time!
I spy fancy hotdogs at the top. Love your olive colored dress!
My goodness, I'm jealous of your weekends! I wish Kevin liked to go out. That food looked delicious. My friend was in Maine last week and did a day trip into Boston and ate lobster rolls! Yum!
This seems like an awesome event. I haven't been to a rooftop bar in Boston yet and it's something I miss a lot about NYC. The food looks awesome too. Glad you had a good weekend.

This makes me miss Boston; it's really a beautiful city. And speaking of a city, City Target? There's one here, in downtown Los Angeles, that puts a dent in my wallet every weekend!

I seriously feel jealousy in my heart about your new city Target! A-MAZING!!!!!!
I had breakfast with a former Mass friend when I was reading through this yesterday and she started reminiscing about the first time she visited a Target outside of the city. In the midwest you have to travel to the bigger areas to go to one, the small towns don't always even have a walmart or a real grocery store! Love all the pink drinks and that your niece wanted to just spend a girls day with you. *heart clench*
All that food looks amazing! I miss Target! We don't have one on Guam so I miss out on all the cute stuff!
That rooftop bar is absolutely amazing! Such a great spot. And I love a Target! Hope you're having a great week! xo
