We had another amazing weekend which started off Friday when M and I checked into our hotel before getting ready for my work Holiday Party that evening.
(I thought it would be nice to have a little staycation while simultaneously avoiding having to drive the forty-five minutes back late Friday night.) Both worked!

| Memoir Novel Flap c/o Fossil |
We slept in (blissfully) Saturday morning and requested a late checkout.
I love the decor at the Crowne Plaza!
A bit more about the bag…I have teamed up with Fossil as one of their Style Partners!
Content and/or other value provided by partner, Fossil.
Everywhere I go people ask me where I got my bag ( it is the absolute softest too!)
Though this particular version is currently sold out, there are still a lot of great alternative options here, here and here!
Heading to brunch at Mel’s (a local diner I went to growing up in the suburbs of Boston) the next morning, we planned our day over eggs benny.
We wanted to do some shopping (for ourselves and one of our friends)and “M” has never been to Nordstrom Rack, so I decided to indulge him. He ended up finding more than me!
Our friend loves red velvet cupcakes and as it was her birthday, we picked up a batch from Crumbs Bakery and some cards that would make her laugh.
Later that evening we went to a lovely dinner at Banners Harbor View before catching The Bruins game!
Our beloved Bruins ended up clinching a win in the very last minute of the third period!
Sunday we spent some time with one of M’s friends, he has the best group of guys friends!

Then we finally picked out our Christmas tree!
We relaxed Sunday night, baking cookies and watching episode after episode of
The Black List (a new show we have taken a liking to.)
What was the highlight of your weekend!?

December 9, 2013Seriously, could you and Matt be any prettier? Such a gorgeous couple! I really love that North Face coat he is wearing. I think Steve needs one.
Speaking of needing things, I NEED that Fossil flap bag. Gorgeous. It made my hear flutter a little, I do love me a beautiful bag.
I live vicariously through your weekends! Reminds me of before I gained all this horrendous prednisone weight and Steve and I were the gorgeous couple everyone wanted to be! HAHAHA. Love your blogs, they make me happy!
Georgina Castellucci
December 10, 2013Thank you Marla (what a sweet thing to say!?) You should still be able to snag that jacket, he only bought it three or four weeks ago 🙂
The bag is amazing (and I can fit my planner AND iPad Air in it easily! So glad my silly little posts can provide some entertainment, I love yours Marla xo

Georgina Castellucci
December 10, 2013Ahh Emily! We both work incredibly hard so when we have free time, we play equally so! It's a bit easy whereas we have very little commitment (besides a little thing like a mortgage…!) Thank you for taking the time to read! xo
