Weekending | Sunning + Shopping

Weekending

Happy Monday morning lovelies!! First off I’d like to congratulate my co-host Meghan on becoming a Mrs. and while she’s not sharing her weekend with us – I’m pretty sure she had the best one ever!! Mine was exactly what the doctor ordered – sun shining bright and some much needed retail therapy!

1//A little sunning and planning on Saturday – we have quite the trip coming up next week! 

2//Avocado & Toast with Pico de Gallo as an appetizer before…

3//The guests of honor for a lobster feast on Saturday night

4//Followed by a childhood favorite of Gary’s called Mr. Cone 

5//Finally found a mirrored tray at Targeton mega clearance – not on sale on their website but it was $8.99 in store! 

I love any excuse to shop and Western Massachusetts happens to have a great mall! F&F just recently opened up and we actually don’t have one in Boston yet! Comparable to H&M – it’s another European  store and has some really great clothes! 

As you saw from the first photo we’re headed to Paris and London soon ~ so if you’ve been to either city please feel free to share your must sees and restaurant recommendations!! 

I’ll leave you with a beautiful sunset from this weekend! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!

    I love that tray!! I bet you are super excited for your trip. We got back from the beach on Sat. We had a great time it was so relaxing and the weather was perfect. Dreading going back to work today, but I only work 4 hours today at least. Love that sunset pic! XO

    Super jealous of your London and Paris trip! They were high up on my list for our European adventure last month, but the Mediterranean cruise won out due to price. Can't wait to finally see the Eiffel Tower and ride the chunnel to London! Take lots of pics 🙂

    And that tray is adorable, I'll be on the hunt for it! <3 Target!

    Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend! I hope we get one of these F&F stores you speak of in our area…because we could always use another 'not so expensive' kind of store right?

    Love that tray – I wish I had a spot for it! And I have never heard of that store but Houston has just barely started getting H&M so it will probably be ten years before I see it down here!

    Wow! What a deal on that tray!!! Love having random trays around the house to collect "clutter". That cone looks aahhhhmazing. Not sure what flavor it is but seriously looks delish. Those London & Paris prints are so lovely. And what is more fabulous than a lobster dinner!

    Holy cow…what a great weekend! A lobster feast?! Yum!! Love the mirror tray and those clothes are so cute. I've been to London and Paris but it's been so long that I don't remember the names of anywhere we went to eat. Just make sure you get crepes in Paris 🙂

    I am so jealous that you found that mirrored tray at Target! I know it's on clearance, so I've been keeping an eye out for it at our local store … sadly, no luck yet. I have trays in almost every room – they are the perfect organization accessory. Looks like you had a fabulous weekend, yay for Paris!

    So excited for your trip! There is a place in England called Nando's and I seriously ate it twice a week when I was on tour over there. And if you want to send me some of their Perri Perri sauce, I would love you even more than I already do. You guys are going to have a blast!

    I can't believe you got that tray for $9! What an awesome deal! Love that red top (or dress???) you picked out! I've never heard of that store but it looks like they have some really cute things! So excited for your trip! I've never been to either so I'm no help there!

    Hah you and that lobster is priceless. Love your new dress! That mirrored tray is such a steal, too. Our Q&A a day book has sadly not been touched in forever (not sure where it is now that I think about it…). YAY for your upcoming trip. I have a passport FYI in case Gary gets sick 😉
