Rise & Shine!

Good morning, sweets!  And happy Monday!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm getting back to reality after a fabulous weekend at the beach house.  The weather was just amazing!  A total beach weekend and I have a tan to prove it! And I'm so happy that I have a summer full of fun to look forward to on Fire Island. 

But like I said, it's back to reality and the work week.  Think I'm going to pick up some fresh flowers on the way to work to make the week brighter.  They certainly did the trick last week.

What did you all do this weekend?  Hope all of you moms had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Enjoy the start of the week, loves!

Monday Morning

 

Good morning, lovelies! And happy Monday to you! Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Ours was great but not quite long enough.  Started brainstorming about the decorating projects, went to a bachelorette party, spent time with family and then before I knew it, it was time to wake up this morning and head on out the door.

What did you all do this weekend?

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Easy Start

Good morning, lovelies! And happy Monday! How was your weekend?

Mine was fabulous and exactly what I needed. A lot of relaxing and catching up on life. Spent Saturday with friends, brunch and enjoying the city. And a rainy Sunday was perfect for catching up on sleep and getting life in order. Now I feel well rested and ready to start the week.

Hope you all had a wonderful one! Enjoy the start of the week!

Hello Gorgeous!

Good morning, sweets! And happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Mine was amazing. Brunch, a pedicure and massage, a hockey game, and a Greek Easter celebration filled my weekend. And the weather was just gorgeous. It actually feels like summer and I'm soaking up every minute of it!

I know I mentioned Friday that I'd be announcing the winner of the Shopbop giveaway today but I'm sorry to say my weekend was so busy that I didn't get around to choosing a winner. I promise to announce the winner tomorrow. Sorry again!

Have a great Monday, lovelies and I'll see you all tomorrow :)

Monday Morning

Good morning, sweets! And happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you're all ready to start the brand new week.

I had a lovely long weekend but I have to be honest. I could use another day off. Greedy, I know, but who wants to stop having fun, right? :)

What did you all do this weekend? Any Easter festivities? My Saturday kinda got away from me so I never got around to making the glitter eggs or the coconut marshmallow nests but I did end up having a wonderful Easter anyway. And who knows? Maybe I'll end up making them next weekend for my Greek Easter family celebration. We shall see...

Hope you all have a lovely start to the week and I'll see you all tomorrow :)

Pretty Monday

Good morning, loves! And welcome to a brand new week and a brand new month! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

Mine was exactly as I had hoped. Filled with lots of love, relaxation and some sweetness. Stayed indoors on a rainy Saturday which was just perfect. I even took a 3 hour nap which never happens these days. I didn't think my lazy Saturday could get any lazier but it did! And then on Sunday I attended my cousin's bridal shower tea which was just lovely and oh so pretty. Oh how I love all things wedding.

All in all I'm feeling very happy and content and focusing on all the beautiful things in life. A perfect way to start the week, in my opinion.

Hope you all have a wonderful start to the week!

Serene Start

Good morning, loves! And welcome to a brand new week! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I had yet another fun filled weekend celebrating Js bday AGAIN. The celebrations never end in our family. :) My sister and brother in law came in for the weekend and we made the most of every single minute. Cocktails at The Top of The Standard, dinner at STK, a surprise party for J later on that night with friends. And we topped it all off on Sunday with Le Grand Brunch at Beaumarchais and a walk on the High Line. I had an amazing time but I am honestly ready to sit back, relax, detox and catch up on sleep and life in general.

Sorry that I have been MIA for a while now. The festivities have really taken up all of my time lately. Looking forward to catching up and seeing what you've all been up to.

Enjoy the day, loves and I'll see you all soon!

Monday Morning

Good morning, loves! How are you this Monday morning?

I'm feeling mighty fine after a fabulous weekend filled with lots of celebrating, catching up with good friends and a lots of shopping. And I ended the weekend siting next to Alexa Chung at a lounge in the East Village. Not a bad way to end a great weekend. :)

Lots to do this weekend before leaving for New Orleans on Friday. As I mentioned before, J's birthday is next weekend and we have lots of celebrations planned over the next few weeks, so I've got my hands full these days.

So, how bout you all? What did you do this weekend?

Enjoy the day, sweets and I'll be by soon to catch up. :)

Morning Beauty

Happy Monday, loves! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I didn't have much on the agenda so the weekend was mine for the taking. Had a lovely Saturday playing tourist in the city again. Walked around the Flatiron district, went to Eataly, ate some amazing Italian food and then headed on over to my favorite place, The Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel, for some Ginger Fig martinis. Yeah you heard that right. Ginger Fig martini. It's heaven on earth. Trust me. :) A perfect day all around.

Sunday was more about getting things accomplished around the apartment. After a lovely brunch that J prepared, cooking and cleaning took up most of the rest of the day. Ended up finishing out the weekend cuddled up by candlelight on the couch with a bottle of wine.

All in all I'm feeling mighty fine on this Monday morning and I hope you all feel the same.

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Sunny Start

Good morning, loves! And welcome to a brand new week.

Waking up after a fabulous weekend. And in such great spirits. The weather has been amazing. The days are getting longer and I feel like spring is just around the corner. I can just about smell the fresh blooms filling the air.

This weekend was all about great times with friends which ended with our Oscar party last night. We didn't end up seeing all of the best picture nominees but we saw the majority and in the end in didn't really matter. We'll catch up eventually. Was really happy that The Artist won best picture. I loved that movie and was so utterly charmed by it. And I'm heading to see Hugo this week. :)

Did you watch the Oscars?

Wishing you all an amazing week filled with lots of happiness!

Monday Morning

Good morning, loves! And happy Monday to you all! How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?

My weekend didn't turn out quite as I had planned. Saturday I ended up going to visit my mother in law for her birthday. Turns out the only present she wanted was for us to come help her clean her home so that's what we ended up doing for 5+ hours. It was a lot of work, still feeling sore, in fact, but very rewarding. The place looks great and she's so happy. And Sunday was a great day filled with lots of sport watching. A hockey game in the afternoon followed by the Super Bowl at night. All in all it was a good weekend. I just didn't get to delve into any of my creative projects that I've been meaning to do. Ah, there's always next weekend :)

But for now, it's time to start a brand new week. Planning on starting the day with a nice relaxing bath today to ease my sore muscles.

Have a lovely day, sweets!

Feelin Fine

Good morning, lovelies! How was your weekend? Hope you all had a fabulous one!

Mine was great. Went out to the vineyards on Saturday and did some wine tasting with family and friends for my cousin's birthday. Then watched the sunset over the water before heading on out to sushi for dinner. And a special bonus was the weather was so gorgeous all weekend. It felt like spring was in the air. All in all it was a perfect weekend.

Now here we are on a Monday morning. Not really wanting to face the reality that it's back to work time but I'm going to keep the memories of the weekend with me as long as I can. :)

Enjoy the day, sweets!

xoxo
