Let's Catch Up: Our Summer

Sorry for the unintentional summer break. Turns out we've had way to much fun just hanging out this summer and blogging has fallen to the back burner. Let's catch up!

I turned 27 in June. Shelby and I had the perfect NYC summer day starting with brunch...

 ...and ending with a Broadway show. Which just happened to be staring our friend Chandler (yes that's her face on the posters!)

In July Shelby dragged me to a One Direction concert in New Jersey that she got last minute tickets for. You can tell by the look on my face how excited I am ;)

Later in July Shelby and I both ended up in Dallas the same week. She had a trip planned and I ended up having to go the same week for work. So, we spent a little time with the family and took in a baseball game. 

Go Rangers!!

We had fun but it was SO hot!

Looking a little rough by the end of the night but it was worth it

 

Nothing beats a Texas sunset...

...except maybe a koloche from Czech Stop in West, TX

 

  

I had the privilage of spending time with friends visiting the city and friends back in Dallas. 

 We enjoyed a day in Brooklyn at Brooklyn Bridge Park (Shelby had never been) and ate some yummy treats at Smorgasburg.

 

I visited the cities most popular attraction this summer- the Rain Room at The MoMa

 

We celebrated the Royal Baby's birthday with cupcakes from Sprinkles

 

 

And we've enjoyed taking walks along the East River to our little secret park watching the sunset. There is a dog park there that Pixie LOVES. 

We are going to try to soak up the last few weeks of summer before a very busy fall starts for both of us. We have lots of fun things planned. What did you do this summer?

Until Next Time

Glorious Weekend Activities

What a beautiful weekend in NYC! It was the first warm weekend of the year and we spent about 50% of it outside...we spent the other 50% of it shopping. We have been wearing sweaters and coats for what seems like forever so we were definitely due for some fun spring/summer clothes.

 

 Saturday we took a lunch break in between shopping and grabbed some Chipotle takeout and sat and enjoyed it in the park at Herald Square. Those burrito bowls always hit the spot.

It was so nice to just sit outside and feel the sunshine.

 Today we decided to go grab lunch at this Turkish restaurant, Beyoglu, in our neighborhood that I always walk by that looked so yummy. In the warmer months the majority of the NYC restaurants put tables outside on the sidewalk so we enjoyed our lunch al fresco.

 

 We decided to just order a bunch of appetizers and share. Everything was so good!

 

 After lunch we sat on the patio at Starbucks for a bit while Shelby was studying for a test and I was playing on Pinterest :)

 Pixie came to Starbucks too and made a lot of friends. Then she got cold (guess we got the summer hair cut a little too soon) so we went home.

Hope each of you had a beautiful weekend too!

Until Next Time

XOXO
