When in Rome

 I was trying to go through the 600+ pictures we took in Rome to organize for this post but I had to stop halfway through.  There are just too many to choose from.  We had a blast to say the least.  We unexpectedly saw the pope, somehow avoided all the lines and indulged our little hearts out in gelato, wine and food.  Every meal we had was great but our 2 favorite spots were Sofia and Spirito DiVino.  If you are headed to Rome definitely check them out.  If you go to Spirito DiVino - make sure to check out the ancient cellar.  I would recommend making reservations.  The weather was perfect and everyone was friendly.

On a random note, Saturday was my birthday and Sunday I woke up very hungover and hungry.  Breakfast was about to end so I jumped in the shower and quickly changed.  I went downstairs with mascara still under my eyes, wet hair and a pair of jeans with t-shirt.  I think the t-shirt may have been Matt's.  Regardless you get the picture of what I look like...not good, right?!  I grabbed a huge sugar donut and head for the neatest table trying to avoid eye contact with anyone.  I am downing my coffee and about to take another bite of this donut when I see a girl that looks really familiar.  I look at Matt and said umm I think I know her, maybe not know, but recognize her.  I am sure I was making no sense to him.  Finally my brain started working and I realized it was Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere.  In my current state I was not going to say hi and introduce myself, I mean I was barely speaking full sentences.  So I saw a way cooler blogger than me (ha) and was too ridiculous to say hi.  Story of my life..haha!

Faves of the Week

You know when you have a ton of stuff to do and you decide you're not going to do any of it.  That's me right now and last night.  My procrastination of choice is online shopping and going overboard in photoshop- see below.  I found few favorites this week.  Check em out!

Pinkies up...

On Saturday, Matt and I went for afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Park Lane.  We have been here over a year and this is only the second time we have done afternoon tea.  What is wrong with us?   I love tea, I love little sandwiches, I love scones and I love love love dessert.  Why am I not doing this every weekend?!  Might be the price tag but really who cares when they are bringing out these cute individual portioned desserts.  It makes it all worth it..right?!  We are making a reservation at the Ritz for next month.  Can't wait!

Happy Hump Day!

Brighton

Hope you had a wonderful Easter.  We had a nice 4 day weekend, on Friday we went to Brighton.  It was a little chillier than I would like but it was still a great day.  We went to the Pier and Matt wanted to ride a few of the rides but I have a fear of carnival rides.  I will only go on rides if it's at an amusement park- the whole moving rides from location to location thing freaks me out and I don't trust them.  So we ended getting cotton candy instead :)  I was happy until I noticed it looked like my hair?!  I was embracing my inner Marge Simpson! HA

 

Happy Easter

Enjoy your weekend!

Last year...

We were moving into our flat.  That day was filled with laughs, tears and few %*@# what did we do?!  To think this is what our place looked like last year.  I am still saying %*@# how did this all fit in here?!  Yes I like to curse, especially in stressful situations ;)

Sorry for the blurry iphone pics.  I wasn't about to try and find my camera during this. 

a little ray of hope shining through..ha

Just half my wardrobe- the movers were unpacking and laughing in the bedroom.  

I was crying

Looks like the kitchen is coming along pretty good.  So we thought!  Later that night we found out the dishes were bigger than the cabinets.  Try and guess which cabinet is the fridge.

Matt putting away his clothes.  Nice calves dude!  

We can admire my shoes instead of watching tv...

Another shot of my clothes.  

To see what it looks like now and read what we learned click here.  We did end up giving a lot of things away that day.  I would say most of this furniture will be staying here when we move back to the States because I am not sure they will be able to get it out.
