As spring arrives, I feel like each weekend gets better than the next. Sunny afternoons are turning into full-on sunny days, bare arms are possible, and eating outside is now the norm. Among other things, my weekend was full of yummy food (including a chocolate beer float, a first), catching up on blogs, devouring the new Domino magazine, and a few new purchases.
The bf was gone Friday night and most of Saturday to take an eight-hour engineering exam so I filled the void he left the best way I know how: baking cinnamon pull-apart bread Friday night, which I may or may not have eaten half of, and shopping all day Saturday with my mom. My two standout purchases were the perfect peplum top and a new cookbook, both from Anthropologie. Saturday night I went to the Portland Blogger's Meetup and had the most amazing time. Every time I go to one, I can't help but nerd out. Ad networks, analytics, getting our bf's to take outfit posts, you name it, we talk about it. It's just so nice to get to talk and connect over something that plays such a large part in our lives. Plus it was sponsored by one of my favorite bakeries and free macaroons and a $20 gift card doesn't hurt. Sunday was much more low key, spent washing cars and a date at one of the local breweries. Overall, the perfect way to recharge for the week ahead. How was your weekend?
Love the new top you purchased! I had a very relaxing weekend which was so necessary.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos + lovely additions to your home/wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteBlogger meet up, how fun! I got the new Domino too. Curious to know what everyone thinks. Interesting format - two ads only, a lot of old images, and $11. Wonder how it's being received?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely weekend. Mine was great! I watched my husband's first triathlon race and then we had a short road trip south for a beautiful wedding. I'm ready to read that Domino mag!
ReplyDeleteYay for blogger meet ups! Sounds like an amazing weekend! With my bf gone all of Saturday I shopped and did some much needed spring cleaning... sometimes it's much easier to get stuff done with they're gone lol. Crossing my fingers for better weather in your neck of the woods :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. A Chocolate beer float?! Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see you again at the meet up! I'm still in love with your top :) I'm excited to get over to Nuvrei and use my gift card and I got the new domino magazine too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! It was so good to officially meet you on Saturday! We should get together and do coffee soon (or spend out gift cards!) :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, the blogger meet up sounds like so much fun! I'm so sad I missed it {I live in Portland too & love finding other Portland bloggers!}.
ReplyDeletep.s. I probably would have done the same with the cinnamon pull apart bread. except by "the same" I mean "eaten all of it". :)
How fun is this?! I wish Houston did more blogger meet-ups. Loving your weekend snaps. During this time of year, I take every excuse to find a patio and eat outside in the sun!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Sam
I saw some pictures of you at the meet-up. SUPER CUTE OUTFIT!!! Seriously. I almost fell off my chair. Hopefully I'll see you at the next one!
