happy

Things that make me happy (right now).

1) the secret (or maybe not so secret) is OUT! My friend Michaele Salahi is one of the Real Housewives of DC and you just might see yours truly in a few episodes ;) I filmed a lot this past fall with Michaele and the other wives, so we shall see... let me know if you spot me. The show premieres Aug 5th! Stay tuned for details about the premiere party, which I'll probably announce on twitter since I am horrible at keeping up with my blog.

*In case you haven't been tuning into bravo, here is the link for the trailer:

2) I am OBSESSED with this Rebecca Minkoff bag and basically told the boyfriend that not having it in my possession is the one thing that was keeping me from being fully happy. Yep, I said that. Of course he rolled his eyes, but he did mention that he might need to get me a present for putting up with him while studying for the bar exam-- to which I fully agreed.

Here is the link to the bag since I am not a photoshop wizard and can't figure out how to post a picture of it...(tell me you are not in love with it. ah!!)

3) New place I love: New England. I spent 11 days, including Memorial Day weekend, in Bristol/Providence, Rhode Island and on Cape Cod and Nantucket with the boyfriend and my best friend Anna/her roomie Sarah. We had so much fun exploring, relaxing, and enjoying the beautiful weather- we basically decided that us 4 (well 3 maybe because Matt wasn't in on this convo) could just live together in RI and we'd be happy forever. It was so hard to leave and come back to DC. Here are some pictures from my trip:

Barnstable Harbor on the Cape.

Hanging out in Matt's backyard in Bristol, RI while he & his roomie moved to their new place in Providence. What a nice boyfriend. Such a FUN girls day!

Boating to Newport. This is the most nautical I have/probably will ever look. I told Matt to enjoy it while it lasted.

Sarah, Anna, and I at the Newport Polo Club. Rain= we took shelter in the trunk.

What makes you all happy right now? :)
