Tomorrow I am heading to the Hamptons with a few of my friends for a long weekend getaway! I am SO excited to not only have a break from the city, but to spend it in a beautiful place with great friends. We are staying in a rented house (share) in East Hampton. Everyone is arriving Friday, but Ashley and I are renting a convertible car from Mazda and going a day early (also leaving a day later). We currently do not have any plans on the agenda, which I think makes for a nice weekend where you just go with the flow. The house we are staying at has a pool, I am praying for nice weather so we can lay out for a little bit. I am sure we will head to the bars at night and have brunch at some cute restaurants. I really can’t explain how excited I am for this trip!!

While attending an event a few weeks ago a friend of mine introduced me to a cute New York based company called Rora. From shorts to dresses to skirts, I was able to look through the newest collection. The girls from Rora were kind enough to let me take home a skirt (the palazzo reversible skirt) to play dress up with!

Happy Friday!!!  I am SO excited and happy it is the weekend! My mom is flying into town today and we are spending the weekend frolicking around the city. The only real plan we have is going to see the American Ballet Theatre perform Swan Lake. Misty Copeland will play Odette! I can’t wait to see her perform (again) and have my mom experience a ballet at The MET Opera house. Other than seeing the ABT perform, on our agenda will be going shopping and having brunch and dinner downtown. It is going to be a great weekend!

For the past couple of years I have been talking about wanting to take tennis lessons. Each summer I look into taking lessons and then something always comes up that I end up not doing it. Well this summer I am FINALLY taking tennis lessons. I signed up (paid and locked in) at the Midtown Tennis Club for once a week group lessons during the month of July. My friend Sam, from The New York Blonde, will be joining me in the class. I can not wait!
