weekend flashback

Happy June! This weekend felt like it flew by in a blur , as all the good ones do. This week was the last time I’ll be at work on a Friday until after Labor Day (our office has 4 day weeks in the Summer.. seriously.. please don’t hate me) and so after a busy day I jumped right into what turned out to be perfect weather all weekend here in New York. I spent most of it outside (parks, bridges, restaurants with outdoor seating, you name it), but traded in my walking sneakers for heels on Saturday when I had a fun night out seeing one of my favorite singers Alex Winston (think Lana Del Rey meets Lily Allen) perform at a little club downtown. I’m off to get ready for another busy (but short) work week, and I’ve got some fun things coming up this week on the blog – so stick around!

I’m going to keep it short and sweet tonight because I’m planning on enjoying the few hours left of the Summer kick off that is Memorial Day Weekend. But safe to say, I’ve had a great one so far. There were outdoors movies along the East River, bike rides in Central Park, a blowout at DryBar with my best friend, ice cream, cold beer, lazy hours spent reading in the sunshine… you get the point. Hope everyone had an equally perfect long weekend and a special thank you to everyone who’s served our country (including both of my grandfathers as well as Adam’s) and allow us to enjoy these little luxuries.

p.s there’s still some major sales happening tonight – I’m planning on scooping up these Sole Society sandals and this J.Crew Factory bikini – both at 50% off with free shipping. Summer necessities, right?

First of all, I hope that the weather was as beautiful wherever you are as it was here in New York this weekend. We used Friday night’s rain as an excuse to finally tackle the lingering areas of our apartment that were yet to be organized (there’s now a lovely little ‘reading nook’ just waiting to be put to use in our bedroom) which left the rest of the weekend free to run about in the sunshine. I spent Saturday afternoon having a picnic in Central Park with a few girlfriends, Saturday night out in the East Village (if you’re in the area – try Sigmund’s for craft beer and gourmet soft pretzels – they had me at hello), and Sunday checking out the new 9/11 memorial downtown and hanging out in Battery Park City. If this is a taste of what our Summer in the city is going to be like, I love it already.

These days my wardrobe is a measure of extremes. One week I feel compelled towards head to toe neutrals with just a touch of color here and there (this is a good example) and the next I’m singing Spring with bold prints and brights (evidence here). This weekend I see-sawed back and forth between the two, in a split wardrobe-personality that is matched only by the warm one minute, cold the next weather we’ve been having. However when we did get moments of good weather this weekend, I fully embraced it – brunching outside, garden exploring in Central Park, and taking these pretty floral sneakers for a stroll through Williamsburg. It’s going to be a busy week (my sister’s wedding is 6 days away, there’s Cinco de Mayo to be celebrated and I’ve got some really fun posts ready for you here), so I’m relaxing tonight with homemade chocolate chip cookies and playing catch up on last season’s Mad Men. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

After a March that still felt like winter, April – and the 70 degree temps that came with it these past couple of days – are being welcomed with open arms. This was the first true weekend we’ve had in the city since moving in and my high hopes certainly weren’t disappointed. Basking in the warmer weather, I caught up with old friends, spent an afternoon exploring the Lower East Side with Adam (for a fun project I’ll share this week!), made some serious headway in getting our apartment to actually resemble a home, went on a double date to see The Grand Budapest Hotel (highly recommended), and even had time to kick my feet up and relax for a moment or two. If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or even Twitter – then you may have seen me mention I filmed an episode of The Better Show this past week which will air on Tuesday (6 AM on WLNY if you’re local or 12 PM on the Hallmark Channel nationally). I’ve got the full scoop on that – as well as the previously mentioned project – and of course some new Spring looks to share over the next few days so be sure to check back. Shaping up to be an exciting week!
