My (Hipstamatic) Weekend

Brooklyn City Hall for our marriage license, Jones Beach, some DIY action and homemade enchiladas. How was your weekend?

Happy Friday!

So working 60+ hours this week was not in the plan but it's ok because it's Friday. It's time to go to the beach and sip some cocktails. We have 22 days left til the wedding and I've got the butterflies! Have a great weekend!

Beach Bum

Proof that I've always been a beach bum!

My Weekend

The pictures from this weekend are pretty boring - sorry about that! We had a full beach day on Saturday and Sunday was all about preparing for this week. I made a lot of summer salads and used this and this recipe. I highly recommend both. Stay tuned for photos of our wedding invitations! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Can you believe it's August?!?

Happy Friday!

Well this week seemed to just fly by now didn't it? There's lots to do this weekend. I'm going to be finishing up some of the favors for the wedding, making our table numbers and will hopefully take photos of our invitations to show all of you! Even though this weekend seems somewhat jam packed we're definitely taking a few hours to just lay on the beach. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Before Summers End

Every summer I have a list of things I want to do and see before it ends. This summer has been pretty hard to cross things off the list but since we still have over a month a half left, here are the few things I would love to do. 

1. Have a picnic at the park.

2. Take a long walk on the beach.

3. Make quinoa burgers.

4. Throw a dinner party.

Do you have any goals or things you want to do before summer ends?

My Weekend

So I've been pretty absent the past few days and I apologize. With the wedding getting closer, I'm focusing a lot of my time on finishing up projects and whatnot. Hopefully I'll be able to post regularly from now on. For those that sent the sweet emails and comments - our bathroom is back to normal and I no longer have to worry about the gaping hole above my head when I shower.

Anyways, this weekend was pretty amazing! We had a long weekend and ended up going to the beach two days in a row (what a luxury!). Since it reached 111˚ on Friday and Saturday it was pretty packed. Then, what I thought was going to be a dinner in Manhattan with Brett turned out to be a surprise bachelorette party thrown by my amazing friends! It was so nice to see my friends all sitting at one table. We had a great time even though it was a million degrees outside. On Sunday, Brett and I headed to the Willamsburg waterfront and to the Flea.  It was such a great weekend that I'm not even sad that it's Monday! Hope you had a great weekend!

Take a Dip

Who wants to go swimming?

Summer Outfits

Two perfect summer outfits - don't you think? Found here and here. P.s. I want her hair!

A Perfect Picnic

I've always been a fan of giving gifts that are outside the box. Julie and Matt from Tiger in a Jar, received the cutest gift for their wedding. Their friend made them a "picnic kit" that was filled with everything that makes for a perfect picnic. It even included Keds and suspenders. 
How cute is that?

My Weekend

How beautiful was this weekend? While at the cabin we went hiking, laid out in the sun and had a bbq. Weekends like this last one make it really hard to go back to work. Hope yours was lovely!

Happy Friday!

Ah Friday I missed you! This weekend we're heading up to the cabin (for real this time). Some fresh air is definitely needed especially after being trapped in the subway for an hour and a half last night...but that's a long story. There will be wine, bbqs and bonfires and some family fun. 

What are your plans for the weekend?

Currently Craving

I can't get enough of the beach this summer. For me, my ideal day involves going to the beach for a few hours and coming home to feel slightly crispy while eating cocktail shrimp. Then you watch a few episodes of Madmen and fall asleep early because the sun totally wiped you out. I say let's play hookie and go to the beach? Who's with me?

My Weekend

Long weekends are the best, aren't they? We decided not to go up to the cabin and ended going to the beach instead. We drove out to Fire Island, chased down Mr. Softee, made these amazing cocktails, replanted some plants and ate delicious food here and here. How was your weekend? Happy belated Fourth of July!!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday friends! I know I promised wedding photos but those are going to have to wait til either this weekend or Monday. This week has been so busy between finishing up our invitations and working on a huge project which I'll be sharing next week. 

What are you up to this weekend? If the weather cooperates, we're hoping to go to the beach. Hope you have a lovely one!

Summer Salads

Come summer time, we eat a lot of salads for dinner. Sometimes it's just way to hot to go anywhere near the oven. This pear pistachio salad and this strawberry salad with chèvre look oh so good.
