beautiful hydrangeas everywhere in the Hamptons

sunset view from the roof in west hampton

early morning coffee + inspiring quote on the mug = awesomeness

Columbus circle quick photo before dinner at A Voce

Our view from dinner at A Voce – a great restaurant for numerous reasons. Namely, it’s Italian, which is always a good thing. Secondly, THIS view. Thirdly, it’s right next door to J. Crew. And fourthly, it’s in a shopping mall-like-building (but way  nicer than your typical mall), so it’s a good place to go if you’re ever in NYC on a rainy day!

Had my first blow dry bar experience while in the city and I can’t say enough about it. I loved everything, including the powder covered doughnuts!

One of the rooftops at the Empire Hotel. I liked the rooftop bar and the pool deck, but I think the hotel itself isn’t necessarily up to chuck bass standards in real life (aka sans gossip girl glamour)- just my opinion, though.

Our adventure from the Hamptons to NYC via train. I felt like the family in Home Alone, rushing thorugh the airport – except there was no airport involved. Only trains, but it was still hilariouly crazy and obnoxious. haha. I don’t think we had enough luggage….oh, and this is only half our crew!

Some people take traveling to the next level….

layering necklaces is my new thing – it’s pretty fun. You should try it.

This is a dog. But doesn’t it look like a bear? I’m not a dog person, but this guy was just so adorable and believe it or not, super sweet! I think he’s a rescue dog? I can’t remember what he’s called.

A pretty little set up in the LV store at Saks on 5th.

Had a nice peaceful and relaxing weekend before having to pack back up and head to Houston for training. I moved a few things around in my house (something I seem to be kind of addicted to!).

One of the views from the training room in the Houston office, which is where I’ve been for the past week.

I hope you have an awesome weekend! What do you think of this type of post? Yay or nay? It’s a bit more personal, but I wanted to start trying new things and see what you all thought. I’m all ears! And if you have any suggestions or what to see more of anything on BTD, don’t hesitate to let me know via comments, email, twitter, etc.!
