Friday Favorites || A Long Weekend Ahead


Happy Friday friends! I’m pretty pumped for the weekend since I have today off and will be spending the day with my sister and mom who flew up here yesterday for the long weekend! I like this whole easing into the year thing with long weekends still happening!! Here are some of my favorite things from the past week! 





Winter Wonderland Wedding ||

Bespoke Boston Weddings and Floral Lab wedding




Last Saturday, Jackie & I had our first day-of-coordination at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. The bride and groom wanted a winter wonderland wedding & that’s exactly what they got! We don’t have any professional shots of the wedding yet, but a few of the behind the scenes photos including the stellar floral arrangements done by the Floral Lab team complete with actual trees & lighting by DJ Zati Productionsreally transformed the room! 



Light and fresh salad ||




I had a variation of this salad earlier this week and it was so tasty! The salad I had was with haddock instead of cod, but I think you could make this with any flaky fish. I think the addition of bacon would be delicious & Gary is a huge fan of mushrooms so this would be great for dinner! 



Sleek Arms & Booty Workouts ||







It’s been a while since I’ve checked out the TIU Girls YouTube channel & I found two new workouts that are great for when you need to do something, but don’t feel like hitting the gym – you know THE WEEKEND ๐Ÿ˜‚



Chic Computer Clutch ||


My laptop situation was upgraded over the holidays thanks to Gary and I didn’t want anything too clunky to carry it around so I researched envelope clutches and found this faux leather one that is super sleek. My macbook is 12 inches & this would fit a 13 inch computer as well. I decided on the pink color (of course) and if you’ve ever seen the “Cake Pop” color from CND nails – then it looks exactly like that!

    That computer clutch is so cute! Does it have a magnetic closure or anything to help keep it shut? That would be perfect for traveling!

    That's awesome that you'll be spending the long weekend with your mom and sister! The bts of the wedding looks amazing, you can definitely pick up on the winter wonderland theme, it's beautiful! I also love those clutch cases for laptops! I have a 15" so cute cases and covers in store are often hard to find, I'll have to see if I can find one of these in this size. Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you enjoy every minute of your weekend!
