I just returned from a girls weekend in Dallas for Joanna's bachelorette party... and, we had a blast!! I am so thankful for my wonderful friends and the memories we just made. Here are some of the highlights! I only took over a hundred pictures...
The door to our suite at the fabulous W hotel!
We added a few fun decorations and pictures of the bride and groom.
Our group!! Kendall, Jessica, Lauren S, Whitney, Joanna, Melissa, Rachael and Lauren H - BEAUTIFUL bunch, huh?
My long-time pal Jess and I joke around about our matching dresses! Gotta love Urban.
Matching blues!
We had a little lingerie shower, and we all admired Jessica's lovely gift wrapping job!
My dog-town girls. Such great memories with these 4 friends!!
After dinner in our room, we headed upstairs to the Ghost Bar - a Dallas hot spot!
It was great to have a table with delicious drinks! I stuck with grapefruit and vodka - yum!
The view from the top!
Wait.....wait....wait. Is that Fabio that just walked in!?! I love Joanna's face!
Yep, that's the man himself - Fabio.
He was great to take a picture with anyone that wanted one. His entourage was also quite familiar with taking the same picture on 5 cameras for large groups of ladies.
Sidebar: He's 56.
After a fun night of dancing, we headed to brunch at Bread Winners the next morning. We all had some delicious grub. It was a highlight, for sure!
We proceeded to shop around Dallas and then soak up a quick nap before more night time action...
Dinner at Javier's - ladies in black, except for the lovely bride!
Sweet Rachael and I
Isn't Joanna gorgeous!?
Not only was it Joanna's bachelorette night and St. Patty's Day - it was Melissa's birthday! How about that adorable hair? I want to recreate that ASAP.
Carlos wanted to be sure she got a bite!
Celebrating St Patrick's Day with my favorite leprechaun, Jessica. We have a St Patty's Day tradition dating back at least 9 years, and neither of us are Irish (as far as we know :). We give each other random goodies - we've done everything from Lucky Charms and cakes to figurines and singing bottle openers. This year, I found a card with a green mustache on it. Jessica upped her game and got me a shamrock nightgown from Walmart - it's appliqued and knee-length. Keith won't know what hit him! :)
Next up - The Dram. I loved this bar!! It reminded me of a prohibition/speak-easy type place. So chic! We got there before it was busy, so it was great to 'own' the place for a little bit.
Cheers with Lauren and Jess! I was lovin' the delish mojitos! They made some awesome drinks here.
Our lovely group!
I believe Rachael and Lauren are reenacting a Fabio moment!
Uh oh. Someone ordered the bride a shot.
Celebrating with the Irish Princess!
Such cute gals!
And lastly, a favorite pic with the bride-to-be. I love you, Joanna! I'm so excited for you and can't wait until April 14!
