F.N.O

A couple years ago the fashion industry started an event called Fashion's Night Out in an effort to get people to spend money.  This was the September following the stock market crash in 2008.  The night turned out to be a HUGE success and the industry decided to continue this tradition in the years to come.  This past year it took place on a Thursday night.  I attended the event with my best friend Leigh.  We headed to the Meatpacking district to a couple of shops.  Popped into Theory, Rebecca Taylor, and Calypso. Each one had amazing merchandise...all of which I did not have the luxury in purchasing.  Nonetheless it was still an exciting night to be out and about.

The Hawaiian Housewarming Party

I mentioned before that on Friday night we went to Brooklyn for a housewarming party for our good friends Nicola and Zach.  They both previously lived in the apartment that I am currently living in.  I am actually fulfilling out their portion of the lease and they have since moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn! 

They decided to have a Hawaiian themed Housewarming Party to welcome everyone to their new residence.  It was so cute.  Zach had cut grass skirts for the cabinetry and they served BBQ chicken sliders made from Pita Rounds and served everything with a Mint-Gin Pineapple cocktail!  How delicious!!!! In addition to the grass skirts, they also had other luau decorations throughout the apartment.  There were hula girls on the wall in the living room and had Netflix streaming old beach movies from the 60s.  There was also beachy-surfer music playing the whole time!  So cute and festive.  What a great way to say goodbye to summer, Hello to Brooklyn, and welcome in Fall!

The Weekend Update

The Birthday Girl!!!!

Our Labor Day Brunch!

Trying to get back into it, here is the current Weekend Update for the Holiday Weekend.

So Friday night was spent in Brooklyn with old friends from the past. Our good friends Nicola and Zach just moved to Williamsburg in Brooklyn and were having a Hawaiian themed Housewarming Party.  

Saturday, I woke up and went for a run through Little Italy and Soho.  It was sunny and a little bit windy outside and after the run, had a great talk with my mom while perusing in and out of little stores.  Ann Taylor LOFT has some great finds right now...too bad the funds aren't there.   In the afternoon Kelly and I went to the 2nd birthday party for her goddaughter Zoë!  She is getting so big!

Sunday I finally got back into the gym and then went to church later in the day.  Post the activities of the day I went and saw The Help.  Soooo good.  I HIGHLY recommend this movie to any woman in the world.  

I awoke today, after sleeping in, to Kelly whipping up a big batch of omelets served on rye...soo good.  I made coffee for everyone and then our friend Lauren came over with a nice big, chilled, bottle of champagne!  We sat in Kelly's room and had a little brunch picnic!!!! A couple other friends came over later in the day!!! So great to see everybody!!!  Later today I think I'm going to hit the gym and see what's going on at the Bloomie's Labor Day Sales!!!  

Ok, well that's all for now...
