Weekend Wonders (Visitors Edition)








Yay for long weekends!  A weekend that starts with a dentist appointment is never fun, except if you can hardly remember said dentist by the end.  We had a fabulous long weekend with lots of good food, great company and relaxation.  My sister and her boyfriend came down to visit Saturday evening, and we started things off with dinner.  Sunday was shop 'til you drop for Lauren, Mike, and I while Zack caught some much need rest at our apartment.  Lauren bought not 1 but 3 pairs of jeans at Diesel, which is a miracle.  We have been jean shopping with her for about 2 years now, and have yet to find a pair she was happy with until this Sunday.  She also bought a dress and a pair of shoes at our favorite consignment shop...Fendi and Prada respectively.  Needless to say she was thrilled with our finds.  We ended their visit with a trip to Bare Burger, which was outstanding as usual.
Monday Mike and I ventured downtown and proceeded to break our shopping ban.  Huh, it's so hard to have self control when you run into a DVF cashmere sweater dress for $40 (me) or a Comme des Garcons wool overcoat for $300 (Mike.)  Oh well, saving money is over-rated anyway!  We are going to try harder, but I can't make any promises!  After stopping off for a cookie and coffee at Birdbath (my favorite NYC bakery) we headed off the the grocery store.  That's where the last pic comes in.  Zep knew that there was a rotisserie chicken in one of the those bags with his name on it!!  Back to the grind today...but 4 day weeks aren't so bad.

Weekend Wonders (Love Edition)






Mike and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day twice...over the weekend and tomorrow.  Saturday he took me out for thai, and Sunday before grocery shopping we stopped into a consignment shop and bought each other a gift.  This was especially nice since we have been on spending hiatus!  He got me a new winter coat (which I will post pics of soon enough) and I got him a pair of pants.  The wind whipping through the streets made it especially cold so we stayed indoors for the most part, nice and cozy.
Fashion week started in the city last Thursday so all of the beautiful skinny people are out and about...pretty exciting actually.  As for tomorrow?  I am responsible for dinner...I see take away indian in the near future (:

Weekend Wonders (Shopping Edition)


via j.crew.com
This weekend was spent enjoying some shopping, and relaxing at home since we have an action packed trip upstate for Thanksgiving planned.  I splurged at J. Crew even though it was totally uncalled for (I had a coupon okay?!)  I finally got a pair of moto boots, which I have been searching high and low for.  I think these will be much easier to break in then the Frye engineer boots I have had my eye on.  I also scored the Poppy King for J. Crew lipstick, which has been sold out for months!  It was my wardrobe's lucky day...as for my wallet's, not so much.  Happy Monday...and hooray for two day work weeks!
