Thankful for a Short Week

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you enjoyed spending time with your families and friends. HJ and I did lots of traveling along the East Coast, but it was wonderful, and today, on our way home, we made a pit stop in NYC to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular!

It was really wonderful and definitely got me in the mood for Christmas! It’s just something that I think you have to see just once if you get the chance 🙂 We planned on going closer to Christmas, but the tickets were getting expensive! Since we decided to go today, I was able to get better seats for only $85.00 each! (Just in case you were wondering, we had seats in the Orchestra level, Row E, seats 412 and 413. They were really good, because we were close enough to see all of the detail, but far enough away so we could see the whole show, which always includes projections and dancers throughout the whole auditorium)

I didn’t take any photos of what I wore this long weekend, because most of the outfits are repeats of my fav work clothes (I guess that happens as you get older-your work and play clothes are the same…) Anyway, here is Monday through Wednesday!

Monday:

Hoop Earrings: Express

Black Top: H&M

Purple Scarf: TJ Maxx, $12.99

Tuesday:

Ankle Pants: Express, Editor Ankle Pants in Panama Beige. I loved the black pair I had of these, so I recently got 4 more pairs in different colors, because Express was having a great sale, where it was buy one get one 50% off, and then an additional 15% off of that! So the first 2 pairs were $60, but then the last 2 were only $30 and I had FREE shipping. That’s why I am the Huntress! 🙂

This was our anniversary weekend (can’t believe another year has gone by already!) We decided to surprise each other with different plans each night, and then agree on something to do together on Sunday.

But first, I was surprised at work on Friday morning with the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen!

Friday Night:

HJ had Friday night, and he took me out into the city for a delicious sushi dinner and then a comedy club afterwards. We had so much fun, and pretty much laughed till tears came out of our eyes 🙂

Black Cardigan: Target

Black Boots: Deb shop and so old, they literally fell apart on the way home…

Saturday Night:

I had Saturday night, and I treated HJ to an incredible Italian dinner at a BYOB in a quaint little town a few minutes from us. I also stopped by the restaurant earlier that day and dropped off some wine and a selection of HJs favorite beers, so it would be waiting for us!

Mint Green Leopard Print Dress: Charlotte Russe, on clearance and ridiculously inexpensive

Black Pumps: Nine West Outlet

I guess it was a weekend for leopard print…also, do you notice I got my hair did? It looks the same in photos, but it’s way shinier and darker. And speaking of darker, I may or may not have also gotten a spray tan 🙂

Sunday:

We went to Longwood Gardens and walked around outside, since it was a beautiful 65 degree day! Here’s what I wore!

Cream Leather Jacket: Online, at Modern Vintage Boutique, $75.00

Purple Scarf: TJ Maxx, $13.00

Hallway!

We FINALLY got some work done in the hallway! Here is a before picture of the hallway leading into our home:

And here is the Progress:

 

and one more, just because 🙂

 

The long blue wall opposite Owlie will soon have a picture ledge with lots of family photos. Stay tuned, hopefully HJ will do this for me this weekend, ya know, as an anniversary present!
