Over the Weekend Part 1: where do I even begin?

What a great weekend! So good in fact, that it will take not one but two posts to cover it! On Friday, I (legally) played hooky from work and drove to western
Massachussetts to meet up with Jen, we then caught a train that brought us right into Grand Central in NYC (I love trains). We rushed to our hotel to get ready
for the Girls Night Out party sponsored by Dove and hosted by Jessica. We arrived just a little fashionably late (because of our train), and
the party was in full swing. It was amazing being able to meet the other bloggers there, I love all of these girl's blogs, and many of them were
inspiration for me to start my own. It's so funny meeting bloggers in person, it's almost as if the getting-to-know-you stage is ver with because you read their
posts everyday! We started our night at the Dove Parlor, where we sipped drinks and ate mini sandwiches...

...The second half of the evening was spend touring New York City in a WHITE-STRETCH-SUV-LIMO-WITH-WHITE-VELVET-INTERIOR. Yeah, I know...Rad. Our driver was extremely patient and brought us all over, we stopped in Times Square - to take outfit shots of course- and then to Rockafeller Center to take more pictures. The whole night was loud, raucous, and exactly what I needed to end this winter funk.

And of course, my ($13 dollar) outfit:

A big thank you to Jessica for being such a gracious host, Dove for providing the food, drinks and limo service, and Andrea for taking so many pictures!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and Valentines day!
