One of our favorite things to do is STAY HOME on a Friday night!
After a long work week, there is nothing better than watching the clock tic 5 o’clock so we can get the party started 🙂
So, here’s how it goes…..
For us, Friday nights in the winter are for burgers, martinis and backgammon!
Usually, around 6pm, we are ready to make our cocktail. This time of year, I drink either a DIRTY MARTINI or a VESPER. Bing drinks CODIGO TEQUILLA shaken and poured into a martini glass so that it feels like we are both having a martini!
We light a (fake!) fire and pull out our awesome lacquer backgammon set. We got it a few years ago, but I’m not able to find a ink for it :(. BUT, when I was at Neiman Marcus last week, I saw two AMAZING sets – kinda pricey, but so great. I love the orange in THIS ONE and the purple in THIS ONE. This set by Mark & Graham is also really great. Our games get kinda heated and we usually split the wins – one for me and one for him. :
Anyhoo, if we haven’t made our own burgers, we order from a crazy place near our house called, Cafe Blue. I call it the Regal Beagle – like from “Three’s Company” because that’s what it looks like inside – hahahah. I gotta say…..they have the best burger in town.
Regardless of which burger we eat, I always make our own version of the SHAKE SHACK SAUCE. It really makes the burger, I must say. If you are at ALL scared of mayo, then this sauce is NOT for you. We happen to LOVE mayo……in fact, we eat a little too much of it. Maybe we should try avocado mayo…..naaahhhhh
Back to the Date Night……….
I was chatting with a friend and we decided that it’s kinda fun to get SLIGHTLY dressed up even though we are staying home! So, last week, I put on my new LBD with a suede boot like THIS or THIS, a PLAID TOP, earrings like THESE or THESE and my fav LIP GLOSS.
I was comfortable yet I felt kinda spiffed up!
You can see my little Instagram video HERE wearing the outfit. Gotta say, it was a great look….even if I was just sitting in my own home 🙂
So, the day I got the dress, I wanted to see how may ways I could style it. I pulled out a few pieces that I got back in the day that I worked at Oscar de la Renta. I never have just the right thing to wear with these pieces….until now..
If you want to see all the fun things I pulled together, check out the video below. :)Play
As soon as we have finished the backgammon game, eaten our cheeseburgers and cleaned up the kitchen, I bolt to my closet and put on my cozy PJ’s!
I have a great lounge “set” that you can find on AMAZON. (Super popular!) I wear that on a regular night when I want to feel cozy, yet put together.
But, if I’m on the couch and ready to watch a movie, I put on THESE PAJAMAS from Meadow. They’re VERY comfy and super soft. They’d actually make a GREAT holiday gift.
Anyhoo…….hat’s a wrap!
Tata for now!
