Weekending | Happy November

Hello November Graphic


Well hello there Monday and happy November friends! It’s officially my favorite month and it started in the best way possible – with a great weekend!! 


Friday after work I had drinks with my former co-worker Heather and we were finally able to celebrate her recent engagement!! I picked Bondin the Langham Hotel downtown…we both had the Tall, Dark & Handsome drink – seriously tasty! 


It was originally Boston’s Federal Reserve Bank and it’s always fun to walk up the steps leading up to the restaurant and bar then seeing the gorgeous chandeliers – it’s a great combination of the old with the new! One of my favorite spots in the city! 


It was pretty mild here this weekend so I was finally able to put the boots away and wear my little moccasins from Go Jane


I spent Saturday afternoon with my sister and again did some damage at Marshall’s – their stationary is just too good! Also watched the Gators put on a good show against GA! 


Halloween was a bit different this year – we ventured to Cambridge to see how our friends neighborhood goes all out! 


We saw some really great costumes – there was a mom that was dressed like a chef and had a pot around her and then her baby was dressed like a baby lobster – it was so cute! We made our way to Painted Burro – this is our second time eating there and it was delicious yet again! Even managed to celebrate Meg’s birthday a little early! 


Not quite sure how Gary looks like he just got back from a Caribbean vacation, but I’m slightly jealous! More on the vest later this week πŸ™‚

Fall in New England


Thank you daylight savings for giving us an extra hour of sleep on Sunday and then thank you mother nature for another pleasant day! I promise if you visit Boston in the Fall you won’t be disappointed – it’s so beautiful! 

Creamy Lemon Skillet chicken


Wrapped the weekend up with thechicken recipeI mentioned on Friday and it didn’t disappoint! This was a Pinterest WIN!

    What a perfect weekend!! Sounds like it was the perfect amount of relaxing and exploring! And the weather sounds so dreamy!
    I seriously can't believe it's November! Probably because the weather in Arizona definitely doesn't feel like the November weather that I'm used to, ha ha!

    Yay for the pink moccasins! And you're right Marshall's has the best thank you cards and whatnot-also absolutely everything you need for a guest bathroom (cute soaps, lotions, etcetera). Happy November!

    It sounds like you had a fabulous week! It's always nice when the weather cooperates for a "holiday" weekend. It sounds like your friends neighborhood definitely goes all out! I love seeing what other people think of for costumes because I'm not very creative in that department.

    Happy November! Those adult beverages look amazing. I'm strange though, every time a restaurant has those metal martin glasses, I ask for a glass one. I guess I like my booze in glass more than metal. Really though, I'd still drink it.

    My sister lives in Cambridge and posted pics of all the craziness going on – they DO go all out! So funny about the bank/bar – Minneapolis had a swanky place JUST like it in our former Fed Reserve building called Bank (so clever with the name, right?!) and they had some great cocktails – sadly, cocktails that would indeed break your bank account! Haha
