Memorial Day Weekend

What a fantastic weekend. Jam packed with good fun and great friends. I’m so sad it’s over! Here’s some pics to recap… loved every second of it.
Friday
Friday I headed out to dinner in Beacon Hill with Meg, Lauren, and Kate. Kate is a REALLY SUPER fun friend from St. Lawrence. She cracks me up and it’s always so fun when she comes to visit. We decided to go to Harvard Gardens and had a great meal. They’re food is actually really good, which I never knew! After dinner the girls went out for more drinks and dancing and I headed out to Cambridge to visit Rebecca who was in the Bean from Brooklyn. YAY!


Rebecca was hanging out in Harvard Square with some friends from college/NYC. We went to this really nice pub, Daedalus, which had an amazing roof deck. It was such a nice night, perfect to be spending time outside. And when the night got cooler, we made it under some cozy heat lamps. Warm summertime goodness.


Saturday
Saturday Zan and I hit the road to Hartford to meet up with Hannah, Todd, and some of their Maine friends for the Dave Matthews Concert. Woohoo! SO FUN.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday
Sunday we made it back to Boston in time to meet up with Bailey and Kevin for brunch. They were in town for a wedding and I was so happy to catch up with them and hear about their honeymoon in Hawaii. Becca drove up from The Cape and we had ourselves a real live Cusp reunion. LOVE!

The rest of the afternoon Beck, Becca, and I took a mini tour around Boston that consisted of going to Urban Outfitters and walking along the Charles. So great to have old friends in town. Love you girls so much– come back soon!!

White Pants and Jack Rogers.

Summertime! It’s official. It starts right now. I’m heading out to dinner tonight and I’ve decided to break out the ultimate summer wardrobe pieces to get me in the mood. White pants and Jack Rogers. It doesn’t get much more summer than this.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

tastes like summer.

Here’s some strawberries and a bowl of sherbet to keep you cool today.
Mmmmm… tastes like summer!

Getting ready for summer:

I’m getting so excited for summer, it’s practically here! Besides the rain today I’d say we’ve had a pretty great run for spring. I feel like I really got a chance to wear my favorite spring outfits and I wasn’t even pretending to be warm, I really was! This spring/summer I’m embracing my pale skin and vow to take extra good care to protect it from the elements. I have already bought 2 bottles of sunblock, next step is to start protecting my face. I do wear an spf 15 moisturizer every day, but in that hot summer weather on that sandy beach you just NEED some extra protection! I’m particularly interested in purchasing a summer hat this year. J.crew and anthropologie have some cute ones– but I’m sure I can swing by the outlet mall and find a practical one for less. We shall see in time what I end up with…
Here is what I am using for skin protection:

I love Neutrogena products and this is one that I have been a fan of for a long time. It goes on smooth and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, plus you know you’re face is getting protection all day.

This stuff is magic. It goes on so light you don’t even know it’s on! Which means it’s the stuff for me because I HATE that icky sunblock feeling. SO sticky!
And as far as my head goes, I’ve been looking into a few options:


Whirling Plaid Sunhat from Anthropologie


Eric Javits Packable Floppy Hat from Saks

(LOVE the orange detail!)



Ribbon-Wrapped Hat from Anthropologie


(The last two are more for fashion’s sake I’ll admit– but I do love them.)


Hope I can still get my summer freckles!!!!!
