what an amazing, ridiculous weekend.

four friends and i headed up to new york city early saturday morning for my bachelorette party. it was one of the most fun weekends i've had in a long time, and was the perfect end to a super stressful summer. we stayed in the gorgeous chelsea hotel - the room was huge! the first thing we did when we got in the room was jump on the beds:

we had a little picnic lunch in central park, complete with wine and cheese, cookies, and little snacks. the weather was absolutely perfect and we were able to actually sit outside without feeling like we were melting:
after some shopping and some lounging and (more) snacking, we got ready to hit the town. first was dinner at kiku:
how gorgeous do they all look? left to right, julia, amanda, jana, me and bernadette:

we went to the beauty bar in gramercy and then litlounge in the east village. it was absolutely ridiculous. i'm convinced that dance parties in NYC have nothing on those in philadelphia, but we had so much fun. we ended up buying a ton of junk food and pushed the beds together and ate mac 'n cheese.

i think bernadette summed it up best with "it's hard not to feel like a rockstar waking up hungover in the chealsea hotel next to 4 girls and a completely trashed room."

so. much. fun.
