Winter Girls Nights
Last week, my friend Kelly had me, Jess, Maya and Kit over for a little girls night. It came at the PERFECT time – all of us definitely needed it. Since most of us work from home, avoiding the negative wind chills usually result in way less interaction with other people! It sounds better than a commute (and it is haha), but it can still be a really weird adjustment. Needless to say, reuniting with girlfriends after being cooped up all day/week is the best. Especially when there are puppy kisses involved!!
This night in particular was all about wine, homemade pizza (made by Chef Kelly!) and Vera Bradley’s new fragrance line. These goodies are seriously the answer to your gifting woes – everything is so cute!

There’s something about winter girls nights that are extra comforting. Do you guys find this to be true? Homemade food, copious amount of wine, and bonus points for puppies, obviously 🙂 Lucky for me, I have a whole weekend of that goodness starting TOMORROW!! That’s right – I’m flying to the east coast bright and early in the morning to spend the weekend with my closest friends who I miss like crazy. To all of you who live in the same city as your closest friends, you are SO LUCKY. We haven’t all been in the same place at the same time in over a year… what?! Needless to say, I’m beyond excited for tons of catching up, gossip and general shenanigans. Yay yay yay!!
And yes, I will fully admit that I hadn’t left my apartment at all before this shindig – so leggings, a side braid, and a cozy sweater were necessary. I snagged this particular sweater from the Madewell when they were having a huuge sale a few weeks ago – how could I say no?!
What does your favorite girls night include?!
 PS. I want to shout out a thank you to Kelly in the City for sharing these pictures and giving me an excuse to gush about how excited I am for this weekend!! Make sure you head over to her blog to see her post and learn more about Vera Bradley‘s new fragrance collection! And more pictures of Noodle, obviously.
And before I let you go, I’ll leave you with this hilarious shot of me trying to get the perfect gram. Check out the final shot on my Insta today!
Happy almost weekend!

Looks like a fun night! Wine and personal pizzas are essential in our girls nights…maybe this is universal 🙂

My girlfriends and I haven't had a night to ourselves in so long! Most of us have significant others and they're all friends (which is great) but then we always end up together. This has me wanting to plan a get together…no boys allowed 😉 Enjoy your trip back east!
