Relaxation + Highlights

I declare that everyone deserves Friday! I can’t wait for this weekend because it’s the first weekend in awhile that I don’t have major plans! Tonight, I’m grabbing dinner with one of my best girlfriends. Saturday, I’m going to exercise, get lunch with another girlfriend, and then stay in to get ahead on some blog projects. On Sunday, I’m going to go to Church with a third girlfriend and then we are going to try out the restaurant Greenleaf Chopshop before watching the Oscars. I’m really looking forward to getting a jump on a few things and getting some much needed r&r. How are you spending your weekend?

1. 2016 Printable Oscar Ballots. (sugarandcharm.com)

With Love From R&R:

1. My recap of New York Fashion Week went up this week. Writing the post had me wanting to jet back to NY immediately.

2. I posted a new outfit featuring chambray layered over stripes. It’s my go-to look lately.

3. I enjoyed a lovely staycation last weekend at The Beverly Hilton after the costume ball I attended. Oh, how I love hotels!

4. Last week’s highlights: romantic hotels, Gossip Girl interiors, and strawberry rosé champagne cocktails.

5. My blazer game was strong this week for date night!
