FRIDAY FAVORITES...FRIENDS

The friend’s fun started out last Friday night which I’ll share more below. It was such a great few days to see beloved friends and get my tooth fixed with no problems! BUT the up-and-down weather roller coaster can definitely go bye-bye. Come on Spring. And I'm having lunch with another friend today because I am focusing more on Friends, Family and Miss Stella and less on Social Media! And come on favorites..its chock-full today!


1. Flute and Friends Recital
When we influencers got together in September, we decided that no matter what, we were attending the magnificent recital on February 18th for our friend Kathrine of the Kathrine Eldridge Blog. She is what I call a master flutist and she combined beautiful poetry readings, some flute duets, and a piano accompanist for the loveliest recital. Before the recital, Jill, Caroline and I had dinner at an amazing restaurant in Westbrook called Antico Posto. Everything was delicious especially the roasted Brussels sprouts with honey lemon ricotta and my fabulous Eggplant Parmesan. 

Laura joined us at the concert and afterwards we all went back to Kathrine's to enjoy the Bourbon Lounge that she and her husband created in their basement at the beginning of the pandemic. Super fun night. LOVE these genuine ladies!






2. Kellyann & The Cake Bake Shop

On Monday I got to have a day with one of my besties down in the middle part of the state. Carmel Indiana is where Mr. Nine’s sister and family also happen to live. The minute Kellyann told me that she was coming to Indiana for her son’s college volleyball tournament, there was no stopping me to make sure I got a day with her. I literally could do an entire post on our day together. Kellyann was  one of my first fellow bloggers I made a connection with and although we talk on Marco Polo, I have missed traveling with her. I got to meet her darling husband Brian and he snapped a photo of us in the hotel lobby. Brian was so sweet to encourage our day together.


It worked out just perfectly and we were so blessed to get the last two countertop seats at the infamous and exclusive Cake Bake Shop. I literally tried for 2 weeks to get us a reservation to no avail so it was as if those 2 seats were saved just for us.


It was magical and enchanting an even more fun since we were day drinking the most glorious cocktails you’ve ever seen! Had Melted Fontina Cheese on Bread and scrumptious Carrot Cake selected for us by our counter Bartender. 


AND Of course we got a photo in the Swan.


The decor was still sparking Christmas But they were switching over to Spring Floras when we were leaving so we got a shot on a swing


Of course, the afternoon included lots of shopping. We fell in love with a little boutique there called AH Collection and Kellyann and I each got a jacket and some goodies. The day ended with coffee, but it was not even possible that it was time for me to go home; the time flew by in the blink of an eye but when you’re with good friends and you haven’t seen each other in two years, that’s kind of how it goes. No way are we waiting this long to see each other the next time. LOVE HER!! Check out here amazing Blog Here!



3. Express

Express has had some incredible sales and it’s a favorite place for me to get blazers. The DRESS I wore last Friday night in the magnificent leopard print was from express and I just love it. Not to mention a BLAZER I’m sharing here as well. More from Express on Wednesday.

  22. This post was so fun to read! It really does war my heart to see people with friends and family. There's something about those kind of relationships that is wonderful. I told Kathrine this and I will tell you as well. I am so glad you had such a wonderful group of friends, a tribe if you will that love you and support you. That is amzing. I love your floral dress (with Kellyann) but seriously, is there anything you can't wear. You always look beautiful no matter what attire. Btw, Stella is super cute! Her little hoodie is so adorable.
