I can't hardly believe rendez-vous: new england was a week ago! Everything about rendez-vous
exceeded our expectations--it truly was worth every minute of preparation to see the smiles of
those in attendance. {jd} and I were so thrilled to see it all come together! We had a picture-perfect almost fall weekend in the great city of Boston...and these photos will prove just that :) 


{Want to see who's who? This post will help you :) Thanks again to Sarah
from Hemenway Street for taking such wonderful photos for us on Saturday!}

We spent Saturday afternoon strolling around the South End of Boston on a Boston Chocolate Tour. Not only did we have a phenomenal tour guide, we ate so much chocolate it may or may not have been a substitute for my dinner ;) I'm not complaining though! I don't think I could pick a favorite stop on the tour...but you better believe I have a lot of places I'll be visiting again on future trips to Boston! 

After the tour, we made a beeline back to the hotel to change for the mixer at the Charlesmark Lounge, which was the perfect space for a group our size! Every rendez-vous attendee received a tote bag full of goodies from our lovely sponsors {see the full list of them here!} and a handful of bloggers walked away with some SERIOUS loot. We also had blogger directories on hand, which were essentially yearbooks with photos and snippets of everyone who attended rendez-vous...they helped keep my head from spinning with all the names I was learning :)


We'd really love your input as we look to plan our next rendez-vous. If you could, pretty please
take the quick survey we pulled together so we can tailor our future rendez-vous to you!

Keep your eyes peeled for photos from the final day of rendez-vous on Thursday! Many thanks to
our sponsors and attendees...but most of all, to my fabulous co-host, {jd}! I can't wait to do it again!
I'll be back tomorrow with another sweet story of long distance survival :) xoxo {av}

P.S. Be sure to check out breakfast at toast today...you're sure to find inspiration for your cozy side of fall Friday's Fancies this week! You might also see a few of my favorites for this fall--thanks again {dm}!

  2. Ooh love it and I still can't get over how much fun it was! I'm sad I had to miss out on the mixer though; it looks like it was such a blast! I guess that means I'll have to go to the Charlesmark on my own now...
