a sunny weekend with friends

How was your weekend? My college friend Steph came to visit me from Boston, and we spent the sunny weekend catching up at the Standard Biergarten with some of my L'Oreal friends (hey Sorah, Johanna, Riley, & Deeps!). Add in a Latin fusion dinner with Justin, Paul, & Graham at Boca Chica, dancing at One & One, some Phileo frozen yogurt, and stumbling upon the set of Showtime's Californication in the West Village -- it was a great weekend! Loved our little reunion, Steph!

Clink!

Bumped into this super fun car while walking over to the Standard. Wish I could drive it!

On our way to froyo, we saw a cellist in the West Village! Perfection. (Still think it's one of the sexiest instruments ever.)

After Steph left, I made a visit to the Frick on Sunday to see the Renoir exhibit and then volunteer ushered at my church. Although I didn't get much sleep this weekend, I can't stop thinking my little mantra: Too Blessed To Be Stressed! Life is good.

Renoir's Dance of Bougival (my favorite)

I also really enjoyed this portait, Lady Peel by Thomas Lawrence. Her red ostrich feather hat and rosy cheeks makes her a knock out spirit in my mind. (Girl crush on a painting, it happens! ;)
