This is it, people.
This is why I live here.
Boston is GORGEOUS in the spring.

OAK: Handmade Clothing & Gifts

I stumbled upon a really adorable store today on Newbury Street– Oak: Handmade Clothing and Gifts. It’s located between Fairfield and Gloucester Streets and has really fun Etsy-like stuff. Totally great for gift giving. Or self giving. I was in love the second I walked in. If I owned a store, I would want it to be like this one.
SO fun.


It’s busy, but in a good way. Like a “everything is so precious I wish I had more money” kind of way. Handmade gifts by REAL people like you and me. Except I can’t make this kind of stuff. I only wish I could.

Don’t you just love these little sock monkeys? I do.

A night out with the Boogies.

Last night I very excitedly went out to meet up with erin and ee: my friends, my lovers, my boogers. I met these amazing girls my junior year in college and very quickly after we met we knew we were meant to be friends for life. And so we spent the rest of our college days singing and nanner dancing and singing and nanner dancing some more. Ahh, the memories.

{EE has been living in San Diego for the past 4 years and this summer she will be traveling cross country to move back over to the east coast! I can’t even believe it– she’s really going to be my neighbor. FOR REAL.}

 

It was such a fun night last night. We had dinner and drinks at a new place in Fenway, Remy’s Sports Bar. Named after the famous Jerry Remy, major league baseball sports broadcaster and former 2nd baseman for the Boston Red Sox. The restaurant was really cool, with views of Fenway and delicious food. It’ll be super fun (but packed, I’m sure) to go to during games this spring and summer. GO SOX!

After drinks we headed over to Southie and continued to love each other until the wee hours of the morning. Because that’s just what lovers do: they love each other. What a great night. It’s ALWAYS better when we’re together.

The Regal Beagle

Last Tuesday my east coast booger Erin and I went out for a yummy little dinner at a new restaurant in Coolidge Corner: The Regal Beagle. It was so cute and cozy inside and the menu is fun and delicious. The walls are lined with a red decorative wallpaper which makes you feel as if your in an old saloon. They pass out postcards with the picture of dogs playing poker (above) and it’s the perfect way to describe the atmosphere of the restaurant.
Here’s a look at the menu:
Yummy.

Yummier.

Yummiest.

It was so fun to try a new place and catch up with my pretty Aaron. She’s such a special friend. I love her so.
