Every Brunette Needs A Blonde Best Friend.

I absolutely love that quote. 
I also believe in it with my whole heart, since some of my very best friends are blondes.
This weekend I headed to Manassas, VA to celebrate my best friend/college roommate/sorority sister Bennett's 25th birthday!  I could not be more in love with her new little town, and it was just so much fun catching up!

Over the course of the weekend there was a whole lot of wine, laughs, puppy snuggles, and junk food.  Dom would have cried if he saw the haul we brought home the first night! Reuniting with a best friend just can't be done over a salad.  Sorry!


On Saturday we started the day with my first ever trip to Nordstrom Rack. Holy moley it was heavenly.  Can we talk about the 2 $70 sweaters I snagged for $10 each?  Or the gorgeous scarves I snagged for $11?  Even though I had to resist the most perfect Kate Spade bag to ever grace this earth (down from $500 to $230!!!) since I am still on a budget...it was still amazing.  My new life goal is to make sure I never live in a city without a Nordtrom Rack!

After our quick and dangerous shopping trip, we headed into DC!  Bennett and I went to GWU together, and it was so amazing and sad to be back on campus.  So much has changed (for the better) but it still felt like coming home.  We compared it to seeing an ex boyfriend you're still in love with.  You're excited to see them, but you know it's going to break your heart at the same time.  We were so nostalgic and sad that we're grown up and not in college anymore!

Afterwards we headed back to Virginia for some more wine and chick flicks.  Have I mentioned I never wanted this weekend to end?  Before I left on Sunday, we had to go into Old Town Manassas for a photoshoot!  This is the best we could do with just the two of us and my timer. :)






 Can I just be southern now, please?!

I am so excited Bennett is less than four hours away now, instead of 4 states!  There will definitely be more weekends like this to come, and I just can't wait!

  10. Aww. There are some days when I miss college so much. I lived in the sorority house all 4 years and it was so nice to always have someone to go to dinner with or just sit in the others room with. What a great weekend, although I'm sad it had to end. AND I definitely agree that us blondes need our brunette friends. hehe Happy Wednesday eve pretty lady!
