weekend recap: catching up

Happy Monday lovelies! I had a wonderful weekend catching up around the city, and hanging out with good friends.

Friday, I attempted to go to the Ditpyque Sample sale. TOTAL letdown. Let's just say that if a fragrance company is having a sample sale, it won't smell very good (thank god I bought a candle in Paris last week).

I worked on some exciting ever swoon things in the afternoon, and had lunch with Tamra and Roxy, too! 

all the essentials: coffee, iPad and planner

I shopped around and had a boozy lunch on Saturday. Diet starts...now?

gorgeous cakes at the Little Red Hen Bakery

I made brussels sprouts and roasted tomatoes for dinner. My addiction is getting pretty severe.

My mom sent me chocolates from Hawaii. Not helping with the post-Europe diet.

And I leave you with this picture of Miss Penny Lane sleeping on the chair. She thinks she's a human.

Also, be sure to catch me over at A Day In the Life and Mind, where I'm sharing my dream beach bag essentials. Missoni. Need I say more?

it moustache be the weekend!

Thank. God. It's. Friday. Seriously.

What a week. Any of you have just an insane week as me? I was ready at 9am on Monday for it to be over.

In honor of the weekend, I found this hilarious guide to the crazy Moustache trend. It's one of the trends that still gets me laughing with every new invention. While it's not my aesthetic, I do appreciate the humor. I think my favorite (not pictured) was two pillows that came together in the form of a stache. SO hilarious.

I've got some exciting things happening next week that I cannot wait to blog about. First and foremost, and hands down the most exciting, is that Danielle from Breakfast at Toast (hopefully you follow her b/c she is a sheer genius) is designing my blog. The options look incredible so far, and I cannot wait to share it with you all.

I'll be spending the weekend catching up on my to-do list, and hopefully hanging some pictures up around my apartment. They're starting to collect dust...eek!

Happy Friday!
