Weekend Recap : Girls' Day

A little late weekend recap from this Saturday. My sister Kelly and I had a "girls' day", and it was so wonderful. She is getting married next summer, so we did some wedding dress shopping in the morning at a local shop. She looked amazing in so many of the dresses that it was seriously hard to pick. There was one contender, however, that was stunning and looks like it might be "the one". It made me want to get married again just so I could pick another dress! (Justttt kidding, that was enough work the first time hah) Afterwards we walked around the Burlington Farmer's Market and got brunch at Magnolias, a favorite restaurant of mine. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes and she got the lime Belgian waffles, and we both got grapefruit juice mimosas. SO. GOOD. It was great to have a nice morning off together as we've both been so busy with work that we haven't been able to see each other very much lately. Happy hump day everyone, and plan a girls' day for yourself soon, its good for the soul!

P.S. She vetoed the dress below, otherwise I wouldn't ruin the surprise ; )

A Farm Wedding

A few weeks ago my family and I went to my uncle's wedding in Walton, New York. My mom grew up here on a dairy farm, and the reception was held in a field on top of a hill overlooking the farm and the expansive valley views around it. It really was beautiful, even though it downpoured on us the first ten minutes (check out the dark, ominous ski picture below). Luckily it cleared up quickly and everyone had a great time drinking beer, playing games and eating delicious smoked chicken. The ceremony was held in a gazebo in a park beforehand, and the wedding party showed up on a hay wagon on the back of a tractor. They had camouflage bridesmaid dresses and the guys all wore camo hats and their work boots. So awesome! All in all it was a fun day catching up with family we don't get to see very much and celebrating their marriage.

Weekend Recap : A Wedding and A Cloudy Beach Day

This weekend Owen and I attended a wedding of two of his friends from college. It was held at an awesome old barn turned into an event space in Charlotte,VT that is just beautiful and in the middle of all these green fields and farmland. The whole ceremony and the reception were so relaxed and welcoming, which matched the bride and groom's personalities perfectly. It was a blast to catch up with friends, eat delicious food and dance our butts off. 

Other than the wedding, I spent the weekend going to see Pitch Perfect 2 (so good, it will knock your socks off! seriously though), garage-saleing in a hunt for vintage, working on the shop, and waitressing one night. We also hit the beach again for a bit with Kelly and her fiance which is becoming a Sunday tradition. Even when its cloudy and you might be a little cold its awesome : ) Hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend!
