This week’s Steppin’ Out was extra special because it was my birthday! Plus, I was in a different state and everything. Talk about steppin’ OUT. Out of Boston, for sure. My friends and I spent the afternoon cruising around Charlotte, NC (the city Bailey now calls home) touring the sights and remembering the old days back in Syracuse. It was a great day filled with a little bits of something and little bits of nothing at all (plus a whole lot of laughs), which are the best kind of days in my opinions.
I had a little fun in front of B’s long mirror before we headed out for the day (I need one of these!)… 
For lunch we went to Zoe’s which had super delicious fare for the health conscious, then we took a little trip to West Elm to check out the home decor inspiration for my new apartment. I ended up picking out some curtains, and was super excited about them, only to discover I didn’t really like the colors in my living room when I got home. BUMMER. I did get some gorgeous hand painted pillow cases for my couches, though, which I am really in love with, and I think they helped me decide what to do as far as window treatments go (more on that later!).
For dinner we went to a tasty mexican restaurant, Cantina 1511 right near Bailey’s house in Charlotte. We had margaritas and enough food to fill us for days. Rebecca actually said she woke up full, which might have been partly from dinner, and MOSTLY from the delicious cupcakes we had from SAS Cupcakes. OH yes.
All in all a GREAT day and a wonderful weekend. I was so sad to say goodbye. Home is wherever I’m with you… Thanks for an awesome birthday, ladies. It was perfect!
