Memorial Day Weekend 2025

good food + good company + good music + shopping sprees

these are a few of my favorite thingssss

harlem. soho. tribeca. queens.

also, a little (or a lot) commotion for my new favorite drink - the pornstar martini! I'm hooked (maybe a little late?). it was so good.

Weekend Recap: Memorial Day Weekend x Linganore Take 2

Memorial Day weekend never disappoints. The weather has been perfect - which is rare - so I made sure to make the most of it. I spent the first half of the weekend catching up with family, and used the other half to get out with friends. Ashleigh and I returned to Linganore Winecellars for their Caribbean Wine Festival, (along with her future hubby) and it's pretty safe to say that it will probably become an annual tradition to kick off the summer right. Last year I fell in love with the raspberry wine, but this year it was all about 'Indulgence' (pictured) a sweet red wine with hints of chocolate. Take my word… highly recommended. 

Other highlights from the weekend:

poetry cyphers

honorable mention for the mango sangria

poolside lounging

countless inside jokes

the avengers II

somebody's uncle getting down by the grill

and epic potato salad

all in all I had a great time.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Five more days 'til The Roots picnic.

Memorial Day Weekend Recap: Caribbean Wine Festival @ Linganore Winecellars

This weekend marked my first ever Caribbean wine festival, and it's sure to be the first of many. My sister (and full-time wingman) Ashleigh was my date. We met up with one of the cutest and real (not one of those 'do it for the likes-approval-new-age') couples I know, Kirk and Isimot, the duo behind my obsession with referring to your love as your "rib." Swoons. A good time was had by all. There was live caribbean music, food, vendors and plenty of dancing; as well as a section reserved solely for hula hooping! And don't even get me started on the wine. (If you haven't tried raspberry wine, do it now. You're welcome) It was one of the best times I've had in a while and I can't wait to return in July for the Reggae fest. I heard it was even more live. Let the summer Festivals begin! 

Next up: The Roots Picnic, 5/31 

( SIDE NOTE: I'm loving the special edition TRIBE tee. Might need to create more? )
