summer weekend.

what are you up to this weekend? simon and i are planning a quiet evening in, (since we splurged last night and devoured beef stroganoff at a french restaurant). i'm also looking forward to getting things done, going swimming in the lake and sleeping in on sunday.

have a wonderful weekend, and in the meantime, here are five things that i am loving right now:




1. this perfect summer song: mat kearney's hey mama

2. eco-friendly cork-topped nail polish bottles from megan miller

3. tina fey's book bossypants: interesting and funny.

4. lightweight summer shawls like this one.

5. and lastly, yogurt that tastes like red velvet cake. yes, seriously.

have a beautiful weekend.

                 

here's a little summary of my week:
homemade biscuits and chocolate cake. three canceled yoga classes due to snow. (boo.)
the help. simon working from home, (which means lots of mid-day jokes and stolen
kisses). crossed fingers and toes for good luck. icicles as far as the eye can see. flickering
candles. waterproof boots. impromptu yoga stretches in the living room. and an epic trip to
trader joe's, where i walked away with more bags than i could carry. how was your week?

p.s. more importantly, what are you up to this weekend? it's taco night in our house! huzzah.

have a gorgeous weekend!

(lately, it's hard to separate me from my camera.)

as i type this, i am sipping some new zealand wine, watching a silly show on television, and looking forward to an evening of pure relaxation. tomorrow, i am going to take a long walk. ahhhh.

have a lovely weekend, and enjoy the cool breeze of autumn (should you be so lucky).

photos from my weekend.

hibiscus lemonade: tart and refreshing.

a walk around cambridge: stopping to look at all the bright colors.

thin crusted pizza: oodles of veggies and fresh basil.

a slice of berry pie and two forks: an afternoon with a friend.

gorgeous macaroons: the daydreaming about paris hasn't stopped since.

a gift for a special friend: as much as i loved wrapping it, i'm even more excited about what's in it.

how was your weekend? :)

weekend moments.

it was a rainy and cloudy weekend in the northeast, but the flowers in bloom made up for it.

i met a fellow blogger for coffee at one of my favorite cafes, and it was oh-so lovely.

this was my first time meeting lynette, but it felt like we were old friends. i love meeting blog readers.

the taste of watermelon reminds me of summer. maybe when the sun comes back, we'll devour a whole one just the two of us.

but in the meantime... what's a sunday supper without a fresh (and still warm) baguette? yum.

so tell me, how was your weekend? :) did you enjoy some sunshine?

have a relaxing weekend.

(i've been braiding my hair a lot lately, but i still have a lot to learn. it's hard to see back there!)

i'm so happy it's friday. it's been a long week...

simon and i are excited to celebrate our niece's first birthday tomorrow. we bought her this sweet little book collection by amy krouse rosenthal and can't wait to scoop her up and give her some special birthday kisses.

we are also looking forward to a quiet night at home this evening. maybe simon will watch this is it with me. (it's on netflix instant streaming now, hurray!)

well, my dears, have a fabulous weekend. enjoy a brownie... or two!

xo.
