Weekending in Connecticut

After traveling last weekend to Punta Cana, and flying up to CT this weekend I am officially exhausted and in need of all the coffee this Monday morning.

I flew up on Friday after work, and had time for a quick bite with my mom and got to spend time with my little brother and my dad before calling it a night.

 

 

*Personal tv's and Dunkin Donuts coffee for the win*

On Saturday I met up with my bff for breakfast, and then we went to a park and the canal trail to go for a walk in the fall weather and catch up. So good to see her!  

That evening I went to dinner with my aunt, uncle, my cousin, and his wife in downtown Hartford at City Steam. They had just released a new brew that day called "Naughty Nurse", and it was delish! It had a caramel flavor with a nice nutty finish and went great with our meals.

Sunday was time to shower my beautiful sister in-law and my little nephew. Afterwards it was already time to head back to the airport and head home. Whirlwind weekend indeed...

My little nephew is going to be so spoiled! And I love the pic I got with my mom since I only get to see her a few times a year. Of course a stop to see one of my favorite pups before heading home was necessary too!

4. I picked up this cardigan from Target for my trip to CT hoping that it'll keep me warm. After seeing Zelle rock it recently, I knew it would be the perfect colorful piece to take with me up north for the weekend.

Beach Wedding Ready

I had been on the hunt for the perfect dress for my friend's wedding in Punta Cana, so when a representative from SheIn reached out to me to try out one of their fabulous dresses I was excited. I loved the selection of party and every day dresses, and when I came across this dress I knew it was the one for the upcoming beach wedding in the Caribbean. I loved the subtle cutouts, the beautiful color, and the flowy chiffon which kept me cool during the reception where I was tearin' up the dance floor.

Back from Punta Cana

I'm back from a whirlwind long weekend trip to a friend's destination wedding in Punta Cana. And I'm still coming down off the amazingness that was this weekend, and still can't understand why I can't have champagne at every meal or a made to order omelette at breakfast every morning or why I'm no longer hanging out by the swim up bar with friends. Back to reality for sure...

I'm going to leave you with a few of my favorite pics from the destination wedding weekend at Dreams Punta Cana.
If you follow me on instagram (@GreenFashionista), twitter (@GreenFashonista), or snapchat (@greenfashonista) then you may have already seen picture/video overload.

I'll be back with a full recap next week on Wanderlust Wednesdays, and make sure to link up with Emily, Kerri, and I on Wednesday, November 11th with your favorite travel recaps and travel wish lists.
