I cannot believe it’s actually Friday. It feels like I have been in non-stop motion all week long. I was looking forward to a night at home last night, and then I ended up getting stuck with a project at the end of the day. I have not been home before 9:30pm any night this week. Insane in the membrane. I am starting to think maybe I have too much on my plate right now. Then again, when don’t I? Better than being bored I suppose.

Anyway, I can hardly think while writing right now, so I am going to keep this short. We are buckling up for a Nor’Easter up here. I am supposed to go to a fashion show/party tonight for a friend’s new collection, but I’m afraid I may end up having to stay in with this crazy whether we are supposed to get. Stay safe and stay warm everyone.

TGIF!

Winter White

This ivory jacket and polka dot tights were amongst some of my favorite Christmas gifts I received this year. Paired with an ivory and gold shimmery dress and a gold clutch, this made for the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit this year. I also had the opportunity to break out my old wedding shoes for the first time since the big day. Who knew I would be ever wearing these babies again?

Had a fantastic time this past weekend in the city. Friday, I said my farewells to a good friend who is moving back to Connecticut to go to grad school. My second bedroom is open whenever you want to come visit!

Saturday hung out with the hubs during the day, made some yummy breakfast, took down the Christmas tree (wahhh), and…wait for it…went to see Les Mis!!! Oh my gosh, it was so amazing. Bring your tissues! I have never seen the show, so I didn’t really know what to expect other than that it would be quite depressing. However, I really enjoyed the movie, and thought Anne Hathaway had a spectacular performance. After the film, I met up with a few friends in the East Village, and ended the night with the deliciousness of Pomme Frites. If you have not been here, this place is a must for fabulous french fries dipped in more sauces than you could ever imagine. Yum!

Sunday, the boy and I got in an awesome workout at the gym, went to Home Depot to pick out some paint colors for a new DIY project (and by DIY, I mean my cousin will be DIYing for us haha), and finally sat down to a fabulous home cooked meal while watching the Redskins game. Unfortunately, our team did not pull out a win, but they gave a valiant effort. Some decisions were pretty questionable, but what can you do. The Skins had a great season, so still HAILING!

Hope you all have a great week!

A Sunday Stroll

Took these photos on a leisurely Sunday stroll this past weekend. These new floral print leggings from StyleMint are my new favorite go-to choice for weekend wear. They are super comfy and lounge-worthy for a day around the house, yet the fun print allows me get up and walk around town without feeling like a total bum. They are currently on sale, so get ’em while they last!

Today marks the end of the short work week here in the city. After wrapping up at the end of the day, I will head home to Brooklyn to pack up my bags and get on the road. Zack and I will be traveling down to Maryland to celebrate Thanksgiving with the fam! It’s nice that both of our families are relatively in the same area, so we are able to see everyone for the holiday weekend. I’m looking forward to our annual friends potluck dinner tomorrow night and spending time with loved ones throughout the next few days. What are your plans for the holiday? Traveling? Staying bundled where you are? Would love to hear. Stay safe everyone, and enjoy your time off if you have it!
