weekend recap: i'm a [dot] com!

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I tackled many things off my to-do list, and relaxed at my apartment due to the freeeeezing NYC temps.


The Urban Slant is now a [dot] com! I purchased the domain on Friday, and I'm super excited. I'm not quite sure what the difference is yet, but I think it's neat.

I had a lovely afternoon with Tamra (and Bella, of course!) and learned all about ever swoon. Let me tell you -- she is one talented lady. Her vision for her company is something I look up to, and I cannot wait for it to launch next month. In the meantime, be sure to follow her on Twitter, and Facebook for all things wedding and events.

Since I was in SoHo, I had to stop by Dean and Deluca for some treats. I only picked up the essentials - hydrangeas and hummus. Naturally.


I had dinner with my friend Kate and enjoyed pizza the size of a small astroid. Seriously. It was HUGE. It was also lunch and dinner the next day.



I was feeling a little under the weather on Sunday, so I stayed in and painted my nails and caught up on some work. I did some color blocking on my nails in grey/plum. What do you think? I'm sort of obsessed. 



I leave you with Miss Penny Lane playing in the snow. She loves it. She is precious. I miss her dearly.

Ever since I have met (virtually, of course) Tamra and her vision for Everswoon, I am so impressed! I am glad you featured her. I am excited to see her website reveal. I also love seeing all your favorite NYC spots. Since I make a trip there about once a year or so, I always like to know what my fashionable friends like to do. Maybe we can meet next trip!?

Happy Monday!

oh yes, the weather in nyc was most definitely unbearable this weekend. I'm loving your polish choice and that pizza looks AMAZING!

Tamra {ever swoon} said...

Pizza the size of an asteroid indeed, but my kind of heaven! Had so much fun hanging out with you this weekend. So many great things to come. Can't wait! Hope you are feeling better, have a great week!

Feel like a lot of people painted their nails this weekend (myself included). Love the colors!

Hannah said...

Congrats on the dot.com!!! That is so exciting! Did you have to switch to wordpress or did you stay on blogger? It has taken me lightyears to figure out blogger I'd probably panic if I'd have to learn stuff all over again! Love your nail colors too. xo

Jessie said...

Congrats on the new .com. Miss Penny Lane looks adorable.

One Stylish Day at a Time said...

Congrats on being a dot com! Let me know if there are any differences, I'm thinking about making the change myself.

Side note, Penny Lane is the absolute cutest!

Unknown said...

Looks like you had an awesome weekend! Love the mani!

Julia - the Urban Slant said...

@Hannah - no differences whatsoever. I think it just helps with search engines and stuff...not really sure -- I'll keep you posted.

@onestylishday -- will let you know if there are differences!

Cara said...

Looks like a fun, relaxing weekend. Love your nail polish colors, the plum is beautiful. You got so much more snow in NYC than we did in DC, jealous!

Aw, cute little puppy! That pizza looks soo good. Was it somewhere in Soho?

Carly Haslee said...

Yay! Congrats--look at you all official with that [dot] come. I love it and will one day join you! Sounds like such a great weekend. So jealous of your day with Tamra-it sounds like the two of you (via twitter stalking, I kind of apologize for it) had some fun time planning something?? Does that pizza deliver to Wisconsin because I would love a slice. Could it also come with a visit from Penny Lane? Thanks!

Shanelé said...
