Happy Monday, lovies! This weekend flew by super fast, but it was both fun and productive, so a total win!
{via} |
My weekend highlights included:
~Getting to wear my Loft poncho to dinner on Friday
~pre-dinner drinks at Brasserrie Beck
~Double date dinner in DC at ToroToro, a Latin-inspired restaurant with our friends. Ended up being at dinner for 3 hours just eating and chatting--I love nights like that!
~On the menu: their delicious cheese bread, scallops, smoked guac, mushroom flatbread, oysters, crispy shrimp, and wine. Lots of wine.
~Had my Old Navy shipment arrive and loved every single thing in it except the white puffy vest
~Got an early Xmas present from my mom: ceramic pots and pans which are amazing to cook with! Totally doesn't stick at all, heats up fast, and a breeze to clean! If you're in the market for a set, these are fabulous!
~Saturday holiday shopping at one of the super malls near us--MG made out well with a couple of the stops, and even helped me try and find a new holiday dress (and picked out a sherpa vest, all on his own, for me to try--that guy is a good one, I tell ya!)
~Found one that I liked, but had a weird seam around the chest area that I didn't love, so I didn't get it
~Had lobster bisque for lunch (at the same place I had it for dinner a couple weekends ago)...so damn delicious!
~Got a new pair of glittens (glove-mittens) at Urban Outfitters--these are one of my favorite cold weather accessories! Mine are similar to these

~afternoon hour-long massage with MG at Massage Envy. Heaven.
~made burgers at home for dinner and watched part of the first season of The Affair
~Slept for almost 10 hours
~Sunday errands, wearing the most comfy tunic sweater ever (from Old Navy)--I highly recommend it if you haven't gotten one (get it here--I would live in this sweater if I could...and kinda want to get it in several colors)
~Got our Christmas card list together, envelopes printed, stuffed, stamped, sealed and mailed! Whoop!
~Sunday afternoon 3.6 mile hike with MG
~A cotton candy sunset sky #nofilter
~Pizza for dinner from &pizza (so so so good!) and relaxing on the couch
It was all a good mix of fun and productivity--plus some delicious food! Hopefully your weekend was equally as relaxing and productive!
Linking up with these pretties today:
It sounds like a seriously wonderful weekend!! I think that dress looked fabulous on you, but I understand why you didn't get it! That sunset was unreal and dinner on Friday night sounded wonderful! Hope you have a great Monday love! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteWe got our cards sent out too with those same gingerbread stamps! Also, you look totally amazing in that dress! I didn't even notice the seam until you mentioned it. Oh and btw aren't the heated tables at massage envy the best?

Sounds like a great weekend, your double date on Friday looks like so much fun! Eating and drinking with good company is the best! I tried that tunic from ON and wanted to like it since it was so comfortable but it just didn't fit me right at all. It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend! A massage AND 10 hours of sleep sound like pure heaven to me!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love my ceramic pots and pans! A massage, plus 10 hours of sleep sounds awesome and I love the comfy outfits this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose gloves look so warm and comfy, and loving that poncho on you for your double date! Sounds like a fabulous weekend complete with a beautiful cotton candy sky <3

Sounds like you had a fabulous weekend! Love the poncho, too cute! And my friend tried on that same dress at Macy's and had the same problem. So weird! That ON sweater is too cute, I think I'm going to have to get it! Happy Monday love! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeletei love glove mittens. they are the best. glad you loved all your old navy stuff (minus one, pretty good)! sounds like a fantastic weekend. full of pantone sunsets and walks - i mean, you can't go wrong! happy monday girly!

I love that poncho! Sounds like y'all had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCute poncho! Waiting for my cards to arrive! I'll mail them out as soon as I get them! I have similar mittens from Primark, so cute and they go with everything! I think I tried that white puffy vest from old navy, didn't work for me either!
ReplyDeleteLove the tunic and your poncho. The dress is gorgeous, but again I can't see the seam. The gold looks so good on you as does winter white. I have a gorgeous winter white dress I wish I could just run over and let you borrow! Love ceramic pots and pans! They are often better than my super expensive copper bottoms ones. xoxo have a good week.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that poncho! So comfy! You got new pots and pans! So fun!!! I need some new ones :) ares are all cheap! Haha! Glad to see you had a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI somehow still haven't tried &Pizza even though they are popping up everywhere now and everyone always raves about it-- yours look sooo good! I love the cream and gold dress, but booo for weird seams- it still looks amazing on you! And I'm going to check out that ON sweater right now- it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteFabulous weekend! I love the poncho and my favorite is most definitely the massages and 10 hours of sleep! We got our cards together this weekend too - feels great to have that out of the way!
ReplyDeleteI still love your Loft tunic!! I really need to make a trip to Urban Outfitters for some glittens and some other cute little winter things they have out! Glad you had such a fun weekend, girlfriend!! xo
ReplyDeleteLove your loft poncho! Perfect for this time of year.
ReplyDeletePerfect weekend - fun and productive! That tunic from Old Navy looks like something that I'd live in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend you had! Omg I seriously need a massage and to get my Christmas/Hannukah cards out!! =) Love your style lady!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week! Melanie | Blog: Toots + Dill
What a great weekend. I love the print on that dress, very pretty. Also, the pizza looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds so wonderful! Funny you mentioned not liking your white puffy vest from Old Navy... I had one too and I didn't like mine either. the down (or fake down, whatever it was) shifted around inside and make weird lumps. I accidentally left that vest in a hotel room a few weeks ago when my husband and I were away and when I realized I had left it there... I wasn't all that mad. :-) Did yours do the same thing with the weird lumps?
ReplyDeleteIt's chilly and rainy here today and lobster bisque sounds amazing. I need some soup stat. I love that Old Navy tunic - it looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteThat dress could seriously fall into the is-it-gold-and-white-or-black-and-blue camp but I seriously love it. Your weekend sounds AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteYou are the absolute cutest and look fab in everything my dear (including that dress you didn't get!!) Glad ya'll had a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect weekend! I want a pair of those glittens, so cute!
ReplyDeleteA productive weekend in my book would've been successfully getting Christmas cards out the door, but you definitely did way more than that! That sunset was gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked with ceramic pans before but they sound amazing. I haven't had lobster bisque in forever but it's one of my faves. The holiday dress looks great on you....too bad the seam was wonky! I went shopping for a holiday dress yesterday and found one at Kohl's on the sale rack for $14.50. Score!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that poncho you wore, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a bunch of stuff done over the weekend, long dinners with friends are the best! I love that dress on you girl, hate when cute stuff have weird seams that don't make it work.
ReplyDeleteChristmas cards are the best...and an hour long massage...amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove that Loft poncho! So cute! That lobster bisque sounds amazing right about now!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl - getting your Christmas cards out! We slacked off and didn't do any this year! I am loving the poncho and tunic you sported this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't seen a cotton candy sky like that in a while; so pretty. I am stalking that Old Navy pullover sweater now - it looks like it could go with a lot in your picture.
ReplyDeleteAll your new clothes are so cute! I love those gloves. I bet those ceramic pots are super nice too! I've never cooked with them before but I've heard really good things :)
ReplyDeleteI love the poncho!!!!!!!!! It looks so good on you!

Dang girl those pots and pans… SO JEALOUS!! Love that poncho and that dress. I have been searching everywhere for a dress for graduation. It's like when you really need one you can't find one but when you don't need one you like every single one you see haha
ReplyDeleteI'm such a sucker for sunset pictures! Sounds like you had a great weekend! Xo
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain that this post is a description of my ideal weekend. and also, that poncho is two thumbs up! I'm starting to get into ponchos this year and I don't think I'll ever go back. they're the comfiest clothing item ever invented.
ReplyDeleteReading your last weekend post almost in time for this weekend's! LOL
ReplyDeleteI frequently purchase things I like in numerous colors.
Woo hoo for new pots & pans! I might need to buy some for the shore next year. I'm iffy on what's down there.
I love that poncho, they are filling up my closet this season! What a fun weekend! Xo, Stephanie
