Coach Book Party

Coach sponsored a book release/signing party for the launch of Piper's book My Mom, Style Icon at their SoHo store.  The party was incredible, it was a full-on fancy party with a really nice bar and a photobooth. The place was packed all night long and Piper sold out of books.

One of the most amazing things ever was the lettering in the storefront window.  It was such an exciting night and I am absolutely thrilled for Piper.  Congratulations, Pipey!!!  I'm so proud of you!!

Girls Gone Wild

This weekend was my bachelorette party!  We rented a house in the Berkshires for 3 days of debauchary.  It was pretty much the best time ever. 

I hope everyone has friends you love as much as I love my friends and my sister, but I don't know if it's possible.  I am so lucky to have these people in my life, and I appreciate every laugh, every made-up game, every costume contest and every amazing meal we make together.

Below are just a few of the weekend highlights, but most of our memories will be taken to the grave.

Love Birds: My Bridal Shower!!

On Saturday, my wonderful sister/maid of honor, Jaime, and my wonderful BFF/matron of honor, Allyson, along with my mom and family friend Pam, threw me the most gorgeous bridal shower in the world!

In my head this photo was going to look like an Anthropologie catalog. Meredith and Piper arrive after a long drive from NYC! The bridal shower games begin! My strong little friend held this present for a good 10 minutes. Abe arrives with beautiful flowers from Danielson Flowers!

and the food!!! Cutting the beautiful and delicious cake Carolyn made for me!

So many people helped make this a special day besides Jaime, Allyson, Pam and my mom.  My NYC friends who traveled to Massachusetts and sent flowers and presents, Bonnie - who brought all the booze, and Carolyn - who helped Allyson and Jaime with everything - including making the gorgeous cake!  Not to mention my dad, Abe, Ezra, Richard and Allyson's husband, Mike, and her mom and dad!  I can't say thank you enough, or even find the words to express how appreciative I am and how loved I feel.

Weekend in Philadelphia

We made it down to Philadelphia to visit my sister and Ezra, but most importantly, to finally introduce Lily and Wesley! This was something we were all very, very excited to see. My sister actually had to work late on Friday so she took Wesley with her so she wouldn't miss the first contact.

The two puppy cousins fell in love with each other almost instantly.  It was pretty much the cutest thing ever.  Wesley is 4 years old (Lily is only 8 months), and he took his role as the "big cousin who has to teach this puppy things" very seriously.

But we did a few other things besides watching the dogs play.  We went for a nice hike since the weather was starting to finally feel spring-like.

We went to Costco and I bought a pair of Shape-Ups sneakers.  We went to Benihana for dinner and waited for a table for two hours, which was annoying, but it allowed us time to play a round of race cars at Dave & Busters and discover the wonderful department store, Boscov's. 

At Boscov's I bought Bump-Its for $3.99 and four Topsy Turvy tomato planters for $1.99 each. Bargains, I tell ya!
