FLOWERS IN THE PARK

A few photos from this past Saturday when I went to The Smoke Joint. Strolled through a little park and snapped some shots of the pretty flowers in the garden. Cannot wait until everything is bloomed and the sun is always out! Looking forward to the nice weather this coming weekend (hoping that the forecast is right). On that same note, I cannot wait for Friday to be here. It will be spent heading back home for Easter. So excited to spend time with family and friends for the weekend. Now, all I have to do is keep busy so the rest of the week flies by!

HELLO NEW YORK

(Dolce Vita jacket, Old Navy sweater- similar, Mimi Chica dress, Hue tights, Steve Madden bag- similar, shoes from Marshalls, Michael Kors watch, other thrifted jewelry)

This weekend has been full of mixed emotions. Happy, excited, sad, overwhelmed.. they have all taken over me. My parents drove me up yesterday to begin my new life here in New York, and they left this afternoon (some tears may have been shed). We spent the morning having coffee in Brooklyn, and I showed them around Union Square because my work is right in that area. This week will be a bit crazy getting all adjusted to everything here. You would think after my many visits to New York, it would be a little easier. It's just not the same. This time I do not have a return trip booked. 

My first day of the new job is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT

Last night, my mom and I had such a great time in Frederick for their Girls Night Out! First, we started off with a delicious dinner at a Pizza & Pretzel Creations. They use pretzel dough for their pizza, and it's so yummy!! We got little bracelets for our "entrance" into the shops, after donating $10 to the Heartly House. They are an organization that provides care for residents of Frederick who have experienced any type of abuse. I was happy to help support such a great cause! 

I bought my first pair of Toms at Velvet Lounge, and I must say that I am pretty excited. We enjoyed being driven, by limo, to different shops downtown. Each store had cocktails and refreshments while women shopped their hearts out. Veggie Annie, a local caterer, was serving shots of vodka with her homemade tomato soup in one store. How different, right!? See her facebook page here for to find out more about what she does. I told her she needs to start a blog for sure! 

I FINALLY was able to shop a vintage store down there that I have been dying to see. Every other time I have attempted to go in there, it's been closed. It was amazing! My mom was having fun seeing things that she used to wear that I wold totally wear today. She had to show me a paisley shirt that my dad used to rock back in the day. If only he tried rocking that again.. haha. All the stores were so great and filled with inspiration everywhere. It was a fabulous night spent escaping my homework and enjoying time with my mom.
