Starting the Holidays at West Elm #ohwhatfun

Last week we welcomed in the holiday season with West Elm at a Christmas stocking crafting event.  We had a great time chatting with the other ladies at our table and trying to create our masterpieces (we were told it would take 5 minutes or so. An hour later, we were all still going...). What do you think about our final products?!

P.S. West Elm has an Instagram contest going right now. Make sure to stop by a store and post a pic using one of their signs and #ohwhatfun. These were our entries!

Chi Town Love

It's no secret we love our fair city of Boston, but today we're showing the Windy City some love. (Which, ironically, is less windy than Boston on average.) My fiancé and I went to visit my brother and sister-in-law in their brand new industrial loft style condo and had a truly wonderful time. Our long weekend was filled with unbelievable food, sailing on Lake Michigan, strolling through The Loop, and sipping fabulous wines on the roof deck.

Whittling down the list of restaurants we wanted to try was the toughest part of the trip. Here's the eateries we landed on this time—all of which you simply must try the next time you find yourself in Chicago.

BHLDN Boston Bloggers Event

We had a wonderful time at the Boston Bloggers event at BHLDN last night. But really, how could you go wrong with a night of browsing wedding dresses and accessories with champagne in hand? BHLDN's vintage style spans from garden goddess to Gatsby glam and we are eating it ALL up. Lindsey just picked out her wedding dress this weekend, so unfortunately, neither of us is in the bridal market, but we definitely have our eye on a bridesmaid dress for Amanda! 

Yes, the clothing and accessories were divine, but let's talk about the decor. Anthropologie's in store design is second to none and BHLDN's sweet corner of the shop lives up to that reputation. Did you know that each store has an in house design team that creates a unique look for each location? So inspiring. 

A huge thanks to Boston Bloggers for holding this event!
