Glamorous Weekend

 

Happy Friday, lovelies! And welcome to the weekend! So happy that it's finally upon us. I have a fun weekend in store. Looking forward to spending lots of time dreaming up ideas for our living room and dining room.

One of the things I learned last night was how to define my style. I think I'm going to go with comfortable romantic. I love all of the feminine and glamorous touches but first and foremost, {for J's sake to be honest.} it needs to be comfotable. {I'd probably be willing to sacrifice some of the comfort for something fabulous :)} I've already started researching some tufted setees and ottomans and some chandeliers.

I'll also be attending my cousin's bachelorette party so it'll be time to get all dolled up and hit the town with the ladies. Lucky for me, she's not super wild or cheesy, so it should be a fun and glamorous night.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!

Dreamy Weekend

Happy Friday, sweets! I'm sure you're all excited it's the weekend, right? You know I am! I've been ready since Monday. :)

What are you all doing this weekend?

Have a lovely one and I'll catch you all on Monday! :)

Easter Take 2!

Good morning, sweets! And happy Friday! So happy the weekend is finally here. As you can tell from all my moaning and groaning this week, I'm particularly ready for it.

Seeing my family this weekend to celebrate Greek Easter. Lots of things to look forward to. Summer-like weather, it's going to be 80 on Sunday!, my Yia Yia & mother's delicious cooking and my father's amazing wine. He went deep into the wine cellar and already has some special bottles selected.

And I already have my summer dress picked out because I'm planning on spending a lot of time outside basking in the glorious weather.

So what do you all have planned? Whatever it is, I hope it's a fabulous one!

Easter Weekend

Good morning, loves! And happy Friday!

I'm off today enjoying the start of a 3 day weekend and I couldn't be happier. Going to have some fun, get some rest and just enjoy every second. I'm even going to give Easter eggs a go this year. I haven't decorated them in a few years but this year I'm inspired to try. I think I'm going to try glitter eggs and maybe even tackle these Coconut Marshamllow Nests that Adele shared.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Passover and Easter to those of you who celebrate!

Leisurely Weekend

Happy Friday, lovelies! What do you all have planned this weekend? Something fun, I hope.

I have not much planned besides my cousin's bridal shower on Sunday. In comparison to the weekends I've been having, I'm considering this one to be very relaxing and mellow.

Planning on staying in all day Saturday with my honey bunny. And tonight on the way home from work I'm going to stop off at Ladurée to pick up some goodies to make the weekend that much sweeter.

Hope you all have a lovely one and I'll see you all Monday!

Spring Celebrations

Good morning, loves! And happy Friday to you all!

Finally getting back into the swing of things after vacation and now it's time for some more festivities.

Looking forward to celebrating a lot this weekend. Firstly, I haven't gotten to fully appreciate and acknowledge the official start of spring. Things are finally starting to bloom and come back to life and I always celebrate this renewal each and every year.

Also, the bday festivities continue for J. {Yeah I think I've mentioned before that I'm a good wife... :)} My sister and brother-in-law were upset that they weren't able to be with us in New Orleans, so they're coming in for the weekend to celebrate. Lots of fun things on tap! And after this weekend I'll be looking forward to a two week long detox. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you all Monday!

Party Time!

Happy Friday, lovelies! Today I'm finally off to New Orleans to celebrate J's big 4-0 on Sunday!

This will be our first visit to NOLA and I'm really looking forward to experiencing it to the fullest. I'm sure I will come back stuffed to the gills but I'm planning on living it up while I'm down there.

I won't be back until Wednesday but if you'd like you can follow me along on Instagram & Twitter to watch the adventure unfold.

Have a fabulous weekend, sweets and I'll see you all next week!

And The Festivities Begin!

Good morning, lovelies! Who else it happy it's Friday?

This weekend is kicking off a few weeks of birthday festivities for J. Yeah I said weeks. Can anyone say spoiled? :)

Heading out to Long Island to celebrate with my in-laws this weekend. Next weekend, Js actual birthday, we'll be in New Orleans celebrating so we have to get the family celebrating in early.

Also on the agenda is a sushi date and some spring shopping in preparation for our trip.

Should be a good one!

What do you all have planned? Whatever it is, I hope it's a great one!

Down Time

Good morning, loves! And happy Friday to you all!

Looking forward to a restful weekend. Nothing on the agenda. Hoping to catch up on life. Sleep, some reading, and leisurely tackling some projects to beautify my home. Stressing the word leisurely. :)

Oh and before I go, in case you missed it, yesterday I was on over at Hampton Hostess taking part in Barbara's Closet Confidential series. Pop on over to take a peak inside what goes on inside my wardrobe.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Welcoming the Weekend!

Happy Friday, lovelies! And welcome to the weekend!

I'm so looking forward to a few lazy days to do whatever my heart desires. Sleeping in, catching up on books, maybe I'll even get to do some creative projects I've been hoping to do since the new year. I would love to start illustrating again and I also need to redesign my living room and bedroom which I've been meaning to do forever but I never have the time.

What are you all planning to do this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you have an amazing one!

Enjoy the weekend, lovelies and I'll see you Monday!

Winery Weekend

Happy Friday, lovelies! I've been so looking forward to this weekend and I'm happy that it's finally here.

This weekend we're headed on out to the wineries on the North Fork of Long Island to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I love visits out there, especially this time of year when it's not very crowded at all.

I'll also get to do a take 2 of last weekend's plans which got squashed because of a snowstorm. Going to squeeze in some quality sibling time and also head on out to our favorite sushi restaurant. This place is so good that I actually leave the city for it!

What do you all have planned? Hope you have a fabulous one, whatever you do!

Welcoming the Weekend & A Guest Post!

Happy Friday, loves! Thank goodness the weekend is finally here, right?

Nothing is on the agenda this weekend and I couldn't be happier. J & I both have been a bit under the weather and it's going to be really cold so I'm looking forward to a few restful days spent indoors this week.

Before I go there are two things...

Firstly, I want to thank you all for stopping by this week. You guys are the best and continue to inpspire me day in and day out. And welcome to my newest followers! So lovely to have you all and I look forward to getting to know you all better in the near future :)

And secondly, in case you missed it because I didn't post about it until later in the day, the lovely Sandee of A Brit Greek did a feature on my day job as a Cosmetic Product Developer. Stop by if you have a chance. And if you haven't met her yet, be sure to stick around a bit to learn about Sandee and her awesome life as a fashion, beauty, photography, and everything else fabulous in this world loving Ex-Pat Brit living in Greece. Love her!

Enjoy the weekend, sweets!
