Spring Wish List!

Happy Tuesday! 

I must say Tuesday mornings are always significantly better than Monday mornings - can anyone agree? Especially when I start off my morning with Barre Burn (the best!) and Pret for breakfast. 

So since I've given up shopping for lent, I've obviously been lusting over a few things recently that I can't get my hands on until after Easter (or maybe ever ha since they're all $$!). 

Here is a few of my "wish list" items! 

This beauty from J. Crew Factory! I love shiny things in the spring and this necklace would add a nice sparkle to a bright blouse! 

The cold weather and boots are making my feet so eager to wear pretty flats! While I love fun colorful flats, a great basic tan flat is necessary for the spring and what's better than our girl Tory!

Oh hello pretty & playful shorts, I would like to find you in my closet tomorrow! (J.Crew does it again).

While I am craving spring, I'm alsooo lusting for the beach and sand and the pool and water, etc etc etc. This bikini is super cute and I guess I wouldn't mind her flat tummy either...womp womp. 

And of course a fun, bright purse is necessary for spring and I would very much LOVE this beauty from J.Crew (duh). 

Le sigh...hopefully once Lent is over one of these pretties will be mine! 

And to end and hopefully give you a giggle - watch this video!

Weekend Shenanigans!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I definitely did - and I'm linking up with Sami to tell ya'll about it!

Let's start off with Thursday when my momma arrived! First stop was Neptune's for a quick dinner. Neptune's is famous in Boston for their fish menu and there is usually an hour + wait to be seated (luckily we went right after work so we were seated immediately). We treated ourselves to yummy lobstahh (w/Boston accent...) rolls. Usually lobster rolls are made with mayo but we had ours with melted butter. UM.....my mouth is watering as I type this. We substituted the fries with a side salad (lame I know but after all the butter we just consumed we didn't think fries would be necessary). 

Then I settled my mom in at home (sad I had to leave her) and ran off to my company's fundraising event for the MS Climb at Ned Devine's Irish Pub. The event was semi-successful! I definitely had a lot of fun hanging with coworkers but I definitely think there could have been more people there. All in all we raised around $1,000 towards our goal of $4,000. 

*I personally rasied $300+ wahoo!*

I spent Friday afternoon & evening with my mom! We went to a wine tasting at a local liquor store and then to a yummy dinner at Ricardo's. Followed by some tasty gelato - it was all in all a great evening (and I may have passed out by 9pm - woops sorry mom!).

Saturday morning came along and I was up at the crack of dawn to participate in the Climb for MS at the John Hancock building. About 15 people from my office participated and though climbing 61 flights of stairs was exhausting (and my back is paying for it today) I'm very glad I did it! 61 flights in 17 minutes - wahoo!

I spent the rest of Saturday running errands with my mom and picking up a few odds and ends like these pretty tulips:

And then I had a delicious home-cooked meal courtesy of momma...

After dinner I met my sorority phamily for a drink to welcome in the newest members of the princess phamily! I cannot believe I am 4 year older than my great-great-grandlittle. Cue minor heart attack.... But the newest princess is wonderful and I love her already!

Sunday, I said goodbye to mom (see you in 2 weeks!) and spent the rest of the day catching up on TV shows and just relaxing! Sunday night looked a lot like...

How was your weekend?! Can't wait to read about it!

Friday Fancies!

HAPPY FRIDAY! 

(can you tell I'm excited that it's Friday...because I definitely am!) I'm linking up with Long Distance Loving for Friday Fancies! I love putting outfits together but I especially love some fun jewels! 

I decided to keep it simple with pretty gold accessories! Often I'm so tired in the morning by the time I get to the decision process for jewelry, it's just whatever is easiest. I love simple, clean gold accessories. They classy and elegant and don't overwhelm your outfit. And you can always pair them with bolder accessories! 

Did anyone get the "Frost Yourself" reference to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days?! I hope so...
