Friday Favs 8/16

Happy Friday! I hope your week was fantastic and your weekend is going to be even better! As I mentioned in my last post this week was super busy for me, I packed everything up and moved to school! I'm finally feeling pretty settled besides forgetting a couple items at home, oops!

Anyway, here is what I'm loving this week.

1 | Loafers

Monogrammed Slipper | Suede Loafers | Calf Hair Loafers

When loafers first started getting popular I wasn't sure about the look. To be honest, I thought they were just plain ugly. Like, a smoking slipper? What? However, the style is starting to grow on me and I'm now coveting the J.Crew leopard pair!

2 | My kitchen! 

I'm having so much fun decorating/setting up my new apartment, and I'm in love with my kitchen! To be honest I'm really just psyched about the fact that I finally have a dishwasher at school. Yay! 

3 | DIY Vases

I love the look of these vases; colorful, simple, and chic. I'm always looking for cute new, and easy, ways to decorate and these look great! Check out the DIY here. 

4 | Ben's Garden Trinket Tray

Definitely words to live by. This tray from Nordstrom would look so cute on a coffee table or vanity.

5 | Dream Closets

I'm swooning over all of the gorgeous dream closets on Pinterest. I love this closet for the mirrored top on the dresser and the Moroccan tile wall! So pretty!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Friday Favs 8/9

Happy Friday to you! I hope you all had a great week and are gonna have an even better weekend. Here are a few things I'm loving this week- 

Denim Jackets | A perfect summer-fall transition item. I love denim jackets paired with maxi dresses, patterned button downs, or bright pants. I like this one from J.Crew or this one from Gap!

Party Tonight | I'm loving this quote right now; Live for today, plan for tomorrow, party tonight!

Sparkle Pedicure | Yesterday my mom and I went for pedicures and I decided to try something a little different! I got white polish with ombre coral color glitter on top! Very fun and sparkly for the end of summer!

Monogrammed Vase | These vases from Etsy are so cute! They are super pricey, so I would substitute for a glass vase like this one.

Pink Shutters & Doors | I love this look. So pretty and girly and looks really welcoming!

Have a great weekend!

Hello and Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week! Mine was hot and sunny and filled with late-night trampoline jumps, walks through lightening-bug-filled parks, online shopping (what else is new), and mosquito bits, lots of mosquito bits. I'm looking forward to spending time with fam this weekend and just relaxing!

Here are some of my favorite things this week- 
Iced Coffee - It's been ridiculously hot this week, so iced coffee has definitely been my go-to!

Fall Fashions - Is it stressing me that that we're already thinking about fall? Yes. Do I still love seeing what's new for the season? Absolutely. Check out these fall previews - Tory Burch, J.Crew Factory, Simply Soles,  Piperlime - I spy leather and suede!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Great deals on Kate Spade, Frye, MAC, Tory, and more. I purchased the Kate Spade Gramercy Grand watch in gold, and although I was sweating when I hit 'checkout' I'm so happy I finally caved in and bought it. I couldn't resist almost 35% off!

Cookie-For-One - This recipe for the Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One is genius!

Back To School Shopping - I love stocking up on fun new things for the upcoming school year. I love these pencils, this notebook, and these fun push pins.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! Tonight I'm going to an Indians game for some hot dogs and fireworks (and hopefully a Tribe win), and I'm free for the rest of the weekend! I'm hoping this mean lots of downtime, relaxing, and catching up on reading.

There are a few things I'm loving this week,

1 | Etsy custom calendars - I really love displaying cute calendars on my desk, and Etsy has tons of custom designs to choose from, monogrammed and all. They're great for sprucing up a boring desk at work, and keeping your life organized. 

2 | Tortoise everything (especially sunglasses)

3 | C. Wonder pillows -There are so many fun colors and patterns!

4 | Beach vacays - I'm  headed to the beach in a few weeks, and I'm SO excited. Yes it's going to be a million degress, but I can't wait to get some sun and spend time by the ocean. I'm on the market for a new sun hat and beach bag!

5 | Pretty pink lipstick - Sometimes I like red, sometimes I like coral, but right now I'm liking natural pinks. I think it's a really nice and fresh look for summer. 

6 | Apothecary vases for bathroom organization - I really love how these look on a bathroom counter! I would fill them with cotton balls, nail polish, and maybe some lip gloss. I think they are adorable and great for organizing!

What are you up to this weekend?

Friday Faves

Happy Friday! This week has been a long one, but once 5 o'clock hits it's time for a weekend filled with birthday celebrations and road trips. I can't wait to shower my best friend with confetti and champagne for her 21st! Saturday I'm wiping my calendar clean and not doing anything. I've been so busy these last couple weekends that I can't wait to have a day to sleep in and lounge around the house. My goal is to stay in my pajamas all day :)

Here are some of my favorite picks of the week-

1. Cat-Eye Sunglasses
I freakin' love cat eye sunglasses. They're classy and sophisticated and make me feel like Marilyn Monroe. Love love love them.

2. Essie Pinks
Essie pinks are perfect for summer. Normally I'm more of a red girl, but I've really been loving pink. Bottle Service and Camera are two of my favorites, you really can't go wrong!

3. Breakfast Pinning
Pinterest has a way of making breakfast foods look so delicious. Of course when I try to make them they don't come out as pretty, but it's still fun to try new recipes! Enjoying a good breakfast is one of my favorite things since it's hard to make time for it during the week. Who wouldn't love a meal filled with blueberries, syrup, lots of carbs, and powered sugar!? I have a breakfast board of my own if you'd like to take a look, and I've been dying to try these vanilla bean scones!

4. Patriotic (monogrammed) Hair Bows
My love of hair bows combined with the 4th of July sparks my obsession with Marley Lilly's Monogrammed 'Merica Hair Bow and Monogrammed Nautical Stripe Hair Bow, or really any patriotic hair bow (check out all of these on Etsy!). Although I would probably wear these at any time of the year, they get extra love around the 4th!

Not pictured above, but I couldn't leave out Marley Lilly's
Patriotic Stars and Stripes Hair Bow! So big and fun!!!

5. Nude Bags
I'm slowing beginning to realize that I need to add a nude bag to my wardrobe. It would work so much better with summery outfits than my boring Longchamp. Definitely on my wishlist. I love how Carly at The College Prep styled her Kate Spade Minka.

6. Road Trips
This has definitely been the summer of road trips. Between driving to Chicago to visit my boyfriend, Sandusky for a day at Cedar Point, Mansfield to visit my best friend, and back to Dayton to spend a weekend at school, I've been all over the great state of Ohio and spending tons of time in the car. I enjoy traveling, and I think it's time to venture somewhere new!
