Friday Favorites | Last one for February


Happy Friday friends! To say this week has been hectic would be an understatement and it’s not stopping this weekend either, but no complaints as I’m finally adjusted to the time difference! Happy to be linking up again with Amanda and April this week! 




Favorite Recipe


I was so excited to get back home and start cooking again and the first thing I tackled was this stuffed zucchini recipe. It was light and fresh, exactly what our body was craving after all the food we ate on our vacation! I made it with pasta this first time, but I’m going to make it again and try it with rice next time. 




Favorite Post


Perhaps a bit biased here, but I shared part one of our vacation in India yesterday. If you didn’t have a chance to check it out yesterday I hope you’ll take a look today





Favorite Event


On Wednesday night, my business partner and I were lucky enough to attend the Boston Magazine Wedding Party at the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store. 


The drinks of the evening were provided byChole Wine Collection and if you’re a Prosecco fan like me, you’ll love it! I’m also slightly obsessed with their packaging and pretty black bow! 




Favorite Purchase


I did quite a bit of shopping when we were in Dubai and I finally scored a pair of lace up flats! Not only are they on sale (under $40) and comfortable, but they in a fierce red color!

    Catching up on another post I missed. I must say that wedding event looks so lavish and beautiful. Good for you for attending. And I bet it is hard adjusting to a different time zone and jet lag after a trip abroad. Oh and your new gorgeous red laceup flats look similar to my new ones (I shared in yesterday's post). And I must say that stuffed zucchini looks amazing, it looked like a meatball sandwich at first. And thanks for sharing those links – they have great tips on blogging and flat-lays. =)
