Good Monday morning, lovelies! And Happy Spring! So happy that the long winter is finally behind us. Brighter, longer days are hopefully here to stay. We've had some gorgeous weather here in NYC the past few days. Everyone's been out and about and all the restaurants and cafes have opened up outdoor dining. It seems as if Spring fever is in full force!
We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Js bday. Friday night dinner with friends and family at Beaumarchais followed by drinks at the Soho Grand. Then Saturday I surprised J with a little staycation at The Standard Hotel. We had such an amazing time. The hotel is absolutely fabulous! Floor to ceiling windows with can't beat views of the city, great restaurants and the best is the Top of the Standard, formerly the Boom Boom Room, an amazing bar at the top of the hotel with to die for views and amazing cocktails. It was so cool to stay at a hotel in our own city. I really felt like I was on vacation when in reality I was just a short cab drive away. All in all it was a fantastic time.
What did you all do this weekend? Hope you had a great one and here's to a wonderful week ahead!
xoxo

aww sounds like J and you had a great time celebrating his bday! yay spring!!
staycations are the absolute best. sounds like a perfect and relaxing weekend.
Dawn, everything sounds so wonderful especially because you didn't have to go far and Spring fever was rampant. I treated myself to a relaxing facial and a complimentary scalp massage...sounds like something you would have done. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comment. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo

That is SO fun that you stayed in a hotel in your town! I think that would be the ULTIMATE relaxation - not having to worry about cleaning up and not having to worry about traveling back home. Love it. I hope he had an amazing bday!
sounds like an awesome birhtday! We had a few celebrations. We had rain storms all day yesterday but other than that it was a great birthday! :)
First of all ... I want one of those macarons! Second of all ... sounds like a FABulous weekend! I love staycations ... my husband and I love to book a night at a luxury hotel, take advantage of swimming in the pool, perhaps a massage at the hotel's spa or fitness club, do a little shopping, see a matinee, order room service ... it is such a fun and restorative weekend thing to do! Happy Spring, Dawn sweetie! xo
You couldn't have wished for lovelier weather... The idea with the hotel is so lovely - staycations are the ultimate luxury! xoxo
Completely envious of your sassy weekend and what a hot image that is! I hope your fully recovered… much luv my dear!

Every time I see a macaroon picture I start drooling...very unlady like :)
Sounds like an amazing weekend Dawn, the hotel looks absolutely incredible!! I've just had a friend get back from NYC and said how warm the weather is getting there, you're so lucky it's spring there, its just starting to get cold here xo
So happy to have found your blog, its absolutely gorgeous! Sounds like a fantastic weekend too!
What a sweet surprise! That sounds like a fun birthday. It was such a nice Spring weekend, Friday even felt like Summer. But can you believe the weather and rain/snow of today! Love those pink flowers and pictures above! Enjoy your day.
i'm so happy for spring! it had been raining all weekend but the sun came out this morning and made me smile. your weekend sounds like so much fun and celebration! :)
I am so glad you had a wonderful weekend! I thought Spring came to Upstate New York until we awoke to snow this morning. Yuck!
AND...I tried to frost the cake with my daughters. Suffice it to say it looked nothing like you beautiful photo but we had fun eating the mess we made. Have a wonderful day!
Hello luv and happy new week & spring to you too!
We're loosing the battle of Summer vs Fall here and it's been pouring down (torrential rain!) all week so far. Today the sun is out and I am off to stretch my limbs in the rays in the hope of topping up the tan a little.
Sounds like you had a wonderful celebration with J. Bet he was chuffed by the kindness of his darling. x
Hugs

So glad you had a great weekend, Dawn! I hope some of your nice weather comes this way! Dealing with power outages, mudslides, and snow here! Where is spring?!

How funny that you mentioned The Standard! We are looking into staying at their hotel (another location) for our weekend getaway.
Happy Spring Dawn :) pretty images as usual! I just got back from Florida where it was 80s and sunny every day so I'm trying to adjust today, but the warmer weather and flowers in DC are helping to make the transition easier! xo
I need some pink lipstick, a peony, and, yes, a cookie.
Just stumbled upon your blog and love how soft and romantic all the images are that you post. Very beautiful.
So glad that you had a wonderful time, my friend! Sometimes a little break away is just the ticket. And these images, my word! I need a file for all of the pretty images you post :)
