weekend recap

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and enjoyed the sunshine (if you were in NYC).

Friday was a bit chaotic for me, as I had some big life choices to make. After much deliberation, I have a decided to move back home to Chicago. When I stopped looking at the details, and over-analyzing it all, it was simple really.

More on that later.

I finally purchased this beauty from BaubleBar. It was completely necessary, right? (sorry it's sold out again)


I went out with some of my besties to our new favorite bar in the village - The Red Lion.

Live band. Check.
$3 shots. Check.
Requesting the band to sing "Call Me Maybe". Check.
Good friends. Check.
Hangover. Check.




Saturday I was pretty much useless. Sunday, I went to my sister's on the Upper West Side and then walked about four miles to ultimately enjoy this beauty.


Hope you all have a lovely week!

Two things: Congrats on your decision. While I've never been to NYC, I absolutely love Chicago. So beautiful and clean! And two: are those nachos? If so, omg. Heaven exists!

Unknown said...

Oh wow! Big decision! I definitely want to hear more!

Alexa said...

Such a great weekend! Loving that necklace that you scored! :)

Jess said...

That's a tough decision to make, but it sounds like you thought it out. I can't wait to hear more!

Looks like a great weekend out with the girls and enjoying some delicious...breakfast nachos? Because that's what it looks like!

Hannah said...

Woo hoo! Glad you scored that necklace... I have the same one in the smoky topaz color and I get SO many compliments on it! You will love it.

And...thanks for making my day by requesting "Call Me Maybe" at the bar. Hilarious! My friends and I would totally do the same thing.

Anonymous said...

OH WOW!!! Well good for you for making such a hard decision. I did that when I decided to leave San Diego to move back to my home town, Dallas. It was hard, but totally worth it! Looks like you had a great weekend! xo

Caitlin C. said...

That necklace is beauuutiful! And "Call Me Maybe" is definitely my favorite song right now! Love.

Natalie said...

Sounds so perfect! Love your BaubleBar purchase -- I've had my eye on the same necklace.
