Instagram Weekend: A Birthday Party & Spring Flowers
Happy, happy Wednesday! This week is crazy busy. I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the week! I’ll be traveling home to Wisconsin this weekend to visit friends and family! On Saturday I’m going to a Kenny Chesney concert at Miller Park with my friends from college, and Sunday I’m headed to Madison to celebrate my friend Jessie’s graduation! This past weekend was pretty jam-packed for me as well. I celebrated my friend Anna’s birthday on Friday and Saturday. Here’s a pic of us from Friday at The Tippler:
I got in a quick run Saturday morning before it started raining intermittently all day! Gotta love the yellow sneaks 
…. Still prepping for my 5K in roughly two weeks. Crazy how time creeps up!
On Sunday, my friends and I walked to Central Park and laid out on the lawn. We read magazines, relaxed, chatted. I spotted some lovelyyyy flowers too — ohhh, how I love spring flowers. Had to snap a pic of the purple ‘n orange situation going on:
Now, almost time for my Wisconsin visit! I need to start packing. Last I checked, it’s supposed to be warm — even, dare I say, DRESS weather. Wahoo!

Summer Wardrobe: 5 H&M Finds
Summer is almost one month away! It’s time to start thinking about wardrobe updates. As much as I hate saying farewell to my scarves, fur vest and black leggings, I know it’s time to switch to flowy blouses, sandals and shorts! I haven’t done a ton of summer shopping yet. I just started the other day by researching some of my favorite finds at H&M. Take a look at my top 5 below. Have you started your summer shopping yet? What’s your most essential piece?
Instagram Weekend: Outdoor Fun & White Tulips
It’s Tuesday, right? Busy week so far! I’m thrilled to be walking to work almost every day lately. The weather here is getting warmer and warmer — today it was in the 60′s all day. I love getting some fresh air in the morning on my way to work! The so-called “spring” season has finally arrived. Woohoo! This past weekend New York had beauuutiful weather, too. My friend Katie (from Wisco) came to visit, and we met up on Saturday.
I took her to the Beekman Beer Garden in the Financial District. It was perfect weather to sit outside, catch up and take in the gorgeous views of the Brooklyn Bridge:
The remainder of my weekend involved lots of errands, and a delicious brunch on Sunday at Agave. Their pre-fixe egg brunch specials were excellent! Lots of options — and it’s located right in the West Village with plenty of indoor AND outdoor seating.
I also must share — on my walk home later in the day, I came across some awesome white tulips (I’m obsessed!):
Maybe it’s just me, but I find white tulips to be uncommon. Tulips are one of my all-time favorite spring flowers. White and pink are up their as my favorite varieties!
** Question: What’s your favorite color of tulips? Is it me, or are white tulips less common?
