congrats to the grad! // part ii

because becoming a doctor warrants two blog posts right? 
Dr. Carlo!a few shots post ceremony!
 my roomie with her doctor sister! 
 my sister, steph, with the doctor!
love these guys!

in case you can't tell, it's kinda fun to call andrew doctor! it's especially fun when making reservations (or anything that asks for your prefix... because i'm a doctor now too... right?!)

congrats to the grad! / part i

this past weekend was andrew's graduation from medical school which means he is now a doctor!!! i can't even believe it! i am so proud of all of his hard work through the past four years... and it's pretty hard to believe that this chapter of our life is coming to a close. here are a few pictures graduation day (with more to come later). 

a few photos made it up on georgetown's website!

friday's fancies // easy weekend wear

what a week! andrew is off in florida celebrating the end of med school and i have been here in dc planning-away as usual. this time it's for our two week trip out west! the pieces of the puzzle are s.l.o.w.l.y starting to come together! we are lucky to have so many west coast friends helping us out, but if anyone has any suggestions for portland down to san diego i'm all ears! 

this week's friday's fancies is all about easy weekend wear. thanks to a casual dress code at work i feel like i am in this attire all week long... can't beat that! :)

friday's fancies // may flowers

the flowers are certainly in bloom here in dc! despite being beautiful they are responsible for lots of sneezing and itchy eyes! as usual, i'm linking up with long distance loving, for this week's friday's fancies! have a great weekend!

date night // estadio

estadio has been on my must-try restaurant list for a while so i was so excited when andrew and i finally had a chance to go. we have been to their sister restaurant, proof, for my birthday so i knew we'd be in for a good meal at estadio. everything from the sangria, to the tapas, to the manchego cheesecake was phenomenal. i am really looking forward to going back! 
what we ordered
roasted baby chorizos & potato crisps // crispy duck // sauteed shrimp // potatas bravas //  
green bean salad // jamon & manchego montaditos // manchego cheesecake

friday's fancies // april showers

i feel as though the 'april showers' have been few and far between this month, although to be honest i don't hate rainy days in the spring. those warm showers remind me of rainy days at the shore which can sometimes turn out to be the most fun days! here are some cute rainy day accessories! and as usual i'm linking up with {av} over at long distance loving

dupont circle farmers market

last weekend my friend liz and i were walking back from brunch when we passed the dupont circle farmers market. i must have passed this market tons of times since living in dc but never stopped to explore. since the weather was so great we decided to walk around a bit and i am glad we did! liz picked up some cherry blossom branches and i now know where i'll be going on sundays for fresh produce!

segways in the city.

this weekend andrew and i were able to check a little something off our bucket list - segways in the city! i always wondered what it would be like to cruise around on a segway and i have to say it was so much fun! after about forty minutes of practice we were ready to hit the crowded streets of dc. even though andrew and i have seen all the sites before this was certainly a unique way to travel! i highly recommend seeing any city by segway! it is definitely a memorable experience!

friday's fancies // nice + neon

this week has been so crazy - between work, soccer, friends in town, and oh.. more work i haven't had a chance to blog much! two back to back friday's fancies can attest to that! this week is all about neon which i can't wait to start wearing come the summer weather! i've never wore a head to toe neon outfit but the one below is pretty cute, isn't it?!

friday's fancies // shoes, shoes, shoes

this weeks friday's fancies is a bit different from most, but it was so fun to put together. theming an outfit around shoes is something i rarely do. being 5'10" i usually stick to flats but lately i've been trying to branch out a bit. these shoes aren't even on sale yet (only pre-sale) but wouldn't they be great for the 4th... or any summer day to be honest!

ps - happy friday - and for those of you in dc this is the last weekend of the cherry blossom festival so get out there!
