The Copley Fairmont



Friday evening was my parents' 35th Anniversary party! We had dinner on Boylston Street and got them a room at the Copley Fairmont for the evening! It was the first time I've ever been in the hotel, and boy oh boy - it was lovely! Everything is just so over the top extravagant! And did you know - every US President has stayed there! (thanks Alice for the history lesson!)



I think my favorite parts were the the big lions at the entrance, the mailbox waiting right by the elevator, and of course that amazing staircase that wraps itself through the hotel!

    You look absolutely lovely, and the roses add a nice colour touch to the pale outfit!

    That hotel is so gorgeous- I used to stay there every summer when we would visit Boston. I miss it! You look beautiful too. Congratulations to your parents!

    everytime i see a big winding staircase i want to float down it in a dainty white dress or night gown, like they do in old movies. i feel like your dress is appropriate for just such an endeavor!

    i actually gasped at your dress. i woke the person sleeping on the couch beside me.

    okay, maybe it was more of a timid scream, come to think of it..

    you just look so gorgeous.
