Weekending Snaps


Well hello there friends!! Hope everyone had a really great and relaxing weekend – we started the birthday celebrations a little early and made our way out of the city for a weekend with Gary’s parents! A few snaps from our time…


Of course we watched the new season of House of Cards and I’m proud to report we didn’t binge on the entire new season, so we still have some show left to watch!

Started the weekend with a triple birthday celebration and my in-laws seriously went all out for us!!

My Valentine’s Day gift guide seemed to be a great hit because there were so many goodies purchased for me from here – including these darling pink bow heels (see them inred too)! 

The pom-pom to accessorize my purse & lightning cable so that I’m always able to keep my phone charged…which has been harder recently! I’m also really excited to clean my brushes now because they also gifted me the sigma brush cleaning mat! I can’t wait to test this out because I’ve heard nothing but great things! 

If you follow me on snapchat (@blovedboston) I mentioned another stationary haul from TJ Maxx- I seriously can’t help myself! 

Heading out to Western, MA means getting to see the real New England…creeks, waterfalls & old barns.

This little red barn was first used as a distillery in 1812 & sits on a one lane road – too cute right?! 

This could also be known as the weekend of picking up a few things that I didn’t need, but have been on my radar! The Hyrdo Boost gel-creamI can already tell you is going to be a favorite of mine…feels just like the Belief cream from Sephora.

Just like that the weekend came to a close, we indulged in some cookies & got ready for a new week!! How was your weekend? Link up below to share with us!

    How cool is that, that you and Gary shared the same birthday season?! My hubby and I share the same month, only 2 weeks apart and our wedding anniversary only 2 weeks after that, so it's always such an extra special time! I give it to your in-laws for doing some research on getting you gifts that you really love and want, very clever! Those shoes are beyond pretty and that tassel bag charm with the USB is genius, I need to get one! I hope you enjoy the start of your birthday week, beautiful, I loved the recap as always!
