Friday Nights

Last night we had some people over for drinks to hang out in the rain I made lots of snacks for everyone, bigs in a blanket, no pudge brownies, guac and salsa, I was very proud of my little cocktail menu! Caryn took some really cute pictures last night I wanted to post. I love theses girls Allston is def more fun when they are around :)

Thoughts on a Wednesday....

With this economy it is hard to have a complete fashionable new winter wardrobe so I am going to start picking up a few staple pieces to get me through. I knew my old black pea coat had to be the first to go. Yesterday at lunch I mindless found my self at downtown crossing and this coat at wet seal caught my eye, I tried it on and as if I needed the sales girl to sell me with a "That's wicked cute" I already had my debit card out.

On a completely random note I have been wondering how much longer my position will be "necessary" at my current job I started to contemplate new job opportunities some form my past and some new ones maybe, I mean I really have no strings tied besides my 1 years lease on my new apartment, but other then that I am 23 and free maybe I should explore....these jobs would be awesome and I would total rock at them.....where I can find the applications for them I have no idea....

1. The Nanny for the Obama's-I have had 3 plus years nanny experience I love kids and am fun and how cool would that be to make the girls an after school snack in the white house while mommy and daddy are jet setting?

2. A member of P.diddys new girl band? What happened to Danity Kane? Can someone tell me I am confused? Anyways I actually liked them and have always wanted to be in a girl band with hip hop class on Monday nights and years of chorus I think I could hack it! Does anyone know when auditions are?

3. A travel and tourism guide in a foreign country. I have been checking out gap year programs and 2 weeks in south America and a few weeks on the beaches in Thailand with a bunch of other lost American 20-somethings assisting tourist with shore excursions sounds like a blast....maybe if I had the physical strength or knowledge or world languages.

So for now I am just going to stay put, but my best friend is awfully lonely in LA. Next year it may be time to explore a new city :)

Sassy Bangs!

So I figured I should take my friends advice and find a stylist to stick with who I trust to do my cuts and color instead of tramping around to all these salons blowing money on people who don't listen. Props to Milano Salon in Allston. I checked this place out Saturday a little cautious. I spent a few hours in their chic cool Ikea decor salon complete with flat screen and Beyonce music videos playing and an actual personable front desk receptionist who offered coffee and tea and greets you with a smile. It was a friendly fun atmosphere. Osvaldo did my color which came out one of the best I have ever had it and Andy cut me the new bangs I wanted which he refers to as Andy's "sassy bangs" LOVE IT! I highly recommend these two are a great team and work together to give their clients the best experience I am very happy and can't wait to go back! I need to get some new pics of my new hair but I am feeling it is very Carrie Underwood meets Reese Witherspoon :)

One last time

One week from today Jess will be leaving for Cali it is very bittersweet I know she will do great because she is so talented and driven but i will miss my best friend tremendously...I can't wait to go out and visit her and Mikey :)

Lannen Fall is finally back from tour and played last night at Harpers Ferry and competed for the battle of the bands to open up for Panic at the Disco and Dashboard confessionals. Jess and I headed down there to show our support and visit Harpers Ferry for old times sake. It was great to see the guys and catch up and get to hear some other really cool bands like Lions Lions. It was fun and as always the guys did it again and will be opening the show! Congrats guys :)

Marthas Vineyard

This weekend was our company trip to Marthas Vineyard. I love the vineyard and have never been there in the fall. It was a really nice time. The condos we stayed in were so cute and had great views it was defiantly relaxing and peaceful sitting by the water on Saturday, and walking around the beach. I brought my friend Dave who was a great date and really enjoyed hanging out with my coworkers. It rained on Sunday which was stinky because Dave and I really wanted to be crazy kids and go swimming :) The clam bake was a lot of fun too even though I hate eating those cute little lobsters they were good! Here are a few pics from the trip!

Thank god for cheap furniture from Sweden!

IKEA Trip- Last week my dad took us to IKEA to get a few things we didn't have.... no luck on a second sofa, but we did get a cute little kitchen table that fits our house perfect and is durable. We also got a boring coffee table so I decided to start painting a design that I saw as a wallpaper swatch on designerguild.com. That website is pretty much my inspiration for the living room!

I was also really excited to find this matching floor lamp to the baby one I have on my night stand it fits the theme of my India/Asia room perfect!

Great Scotts!

Last night Jessica came out to stay with me for our first weekend (living) in Allston adventure. We ventured out around 11 and despite the rain the bars had some crowds. We started the night at Our House were we drank icky draft beer, then of course headed over to Great Scotts to hang out with a few of the band members from The Televandals. I knew I had to do a post about Great Scots because well since last summer it seems to a bit of an infamous place where many memories were made. Last night was a little dull

but here are my top favorite times at Great Scotts

Aww this is the night we went and saw Lannen Fall I miss those boys I wish they would hurry back from tour soon! E-Rock came out and there is Kimmy and Jess..wow people change a lot in a year!













These are pics from The Trash Killers this past summer! It was fun having all my friends there together> Above is me and my "wingman" Tom.
