The concert was Mozart, Strauss and Brahms and it was absolutely fantastic. We hired a black towncar through Uber to get to and from uptown Charlotte and arrived early enough to enjoy a cocktail at Cowbell before the show. I had the most delicious cocktail with gin, St. Germain, mint, and cucumber.

Moving along: my best-dressed for the Oscars goes to (... envelope, please) Gwyneth Paltrow.
I'm sort-of wishy-washy about Gwyneth in general, but I just loved her look Sunday night.
I didn't watch the Oscars, though. Ain't nobody got time for that. #earlybedtime
And lastly, although it's already been a crazy week, I have a little spring in my step because we have a springtime getaway planned to MEXICO and I couldn't be more excited!
More snow here in the Queen City. Stay warm, folks!
I am wishy washy on on GP too, she however is always beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Charlotte called Queen City? I don't think I knew that...
Yay for date night and esp to the Symphony! I agreed about G's dress...hands down my fav!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that upcoming trip sounds glorious! With babe or w/o babe?
The Symphony sounds like a great date! Gwyneth's dress was really pretty, but I thought the flower was a little large. Mexico will be amazing!!!
ReplyDeletea date at the symphony sounds fantastic... and so does mexico :) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteCowbell was a fave of ours from our summer getaway to Charlotte, but holy cow was it crowded on a Friday night! I'm more than jealous of your planned trip to Mexico. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful, relaxing date night! We used Uber recently and were very impressed with the experience! Stay warm. Xo, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteMexico!! Jealous!! Symphony date night sounds so glamorous- love! And yes, the red carpet was as far as I got into the Oscar's too! ha
ReplyDeleteBeing in DC, we love and rely on Uber a lot! And oh my gosh, Mexico!? Amazing! What a fun vacation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely date night! And so nice to have your cousin around to watch her :) Mexico?!! All I can think about now is sunny beaches and margaritas!
ReplyDeleteEee! Mexico! Sounds DREAMY! <3 And I feel like I need to hear more about this Cowbell joint...! :)

The date night sounds fantastic and a great idea for a gift. I must send some hints, we live quite near to the Liverpool Philharmonic so shouldn't be too difficult for him to arrange ha! However, Mexico is probably just a dream, but can't wait for your update and pictures xx

I used Uber for the first time on our vacation and was pleasantly surprised! Can't wait to hear about the trip details. Are you bringing the little one along?
ReplyDeleteI liked Gwyneth except that damn big flower on her shoulder! Could definitely do without it!
ReplyDeleteAlly - Life as I know it
So jealous about your trip - how fun!!! I LOVED Gwenyth's look...I've always loved her simple/natural beauty, but Sunday night, she looked perfect. And that cocktail sounds delicious...I was never a gin fan until I discovered St Germain and Hendrick's...amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYay for a fun vacation in the future. So jealous. I loved Gwyneth's look too, how does she do it?
ReplyDeleteI never watch the Oscars but always look forward to seeing all the fashion on social media after. I had not yet seen Gwyneth! That dress is such a pretty pink and I love the contrast of her earrings!
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt is a former VP of the CLT Sympthony Guild! I just love their summer Pops series at Symphony Park... such a perfect way to spend a summer evening with friends/family. I'll think of that today as I wish for warmer days. It's supposedly 50* today which IS an improvement, I know. Baby steps!
