Getaway with Girlfriends

This past weekend I took a trip out to the Hamptons with my two girlfriends for a relaxing getaway. I have to say, I love girls weekends. We had the absolute best time. On Friday we spent the day in the exhaustingly hot weather at the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium in Riverhead, New York. (Checking this off my Summer Checklist!) Despite the heat, we had so much fun. We saw the sea lion show, watched the sharks, played with starfish and stingrays. I love going to the Aquarium. It's definitely one of my favorite pastimes. And after that we stopped in Ralphs for much needed water and creme ices to cool us off. For the rest of the weekend we lounged around by the pool for hours, reading magazines, swimming and listening to an awesome 90's playlist. We barbecued, baked, and indulged in way more delicious food than we probably should have. And at night we roasted smore's (I would check this off the Summer Checklist also except we did it over the stove, so I don't think this counts), watched movies and played games. It was a perfect mini vacation. I can't wait to do it again!

This past weekend was mine & Pat's two year anniversary, so we headed out to the Hamptons after our original plans got cancelled. We decided to stay for two days to relax and have fun. We had such a great time doing such simple things like playing board games and eating outside in town. It was very us and ended up being the most amazing anniversary ever. Here's a few Instagram photos from our weekend...

{Our cups of gelato! I ended up getting vanilla and chocolate chip, and Pat got strawberry and banana.} 

Room of the Week

I recently stumbled across an article from February's Vogue that gave a glimpse into the Southampton home of designer Tory Burch. I was blown away by some of the rooms in her house so instead of doing a Room of the Week, this will be more of a Rooms of the Week post. Much like her collections, Tory Burch's home is filled with tons of bold patterns and different textures. For some people this may be a bit too much but I think her home is so true to who she is. It's so unique! I absolutely love it. I noticed a lot of woven textures, especially in her living room. She also used a lot of blues and greens in several of the rooms in her home, colors perfect for a hampton's home. She uses many different patterns in one room but they all compliment each other in the best way. Even though there's a lot of "stuff" everywhere, it's not too cluttered, it's still a relaxed and inviting space. Loves it!

Weekend Work

This is pretty much how I spent my entire weekend. Not too exciting but I ended up having a great weekend. After work on Friday I headed out to Southampton with my mom and dog so that we could get some work done on the house and I could get some work done for school. I actually ended up doing a ton of work for my classes and helped my mom paint and clean and such. Doesn't sound too glamorous but we did have some relaxing downtime. We barbecued and baked and lounged outside and played Scrabble at night. I can't wait for summer to come so we can all enjoy the house together. Once memorial day weekend hits we'll be out there all the time.
