Happy Friday friends!
I am super excited about this Friday because I have loads of great (and totally random) favorites. I’m linking up with my favorite girls Narci, Andrea and Erika to share them with you.
And bonus…I’m even doing a little giveaway too. It’s Friday…let’s have fun :).
So, when I did my TV Binge Watching post a few months ago, the two shows you guys recommended the most for me were Gilmore Girls and Friday Night Lights. Well, we all know that Gilmore Girls became my entire world. At one point, I found myself waking up at 3:30 AM to watch two episodes before I started my day. YES! What the heck is wrong with me?!?! I could not stop watching that show. So freaking good!
So…the next show I started was Friday Night Lights and friends, it’s awesome. Maybe it’s because I’m a Texas girl or maybe it’s because I now have a major crush on both Coach Taylor and Tim Riggins…but either way, I’m obsessed and have already blown through season one and am heading into season two. If you haven’t watched it, WATCH IT!
Thank you ladies for such great recommendations!
(To see all of the Binge Watching post and read all of the recommendations, click here.)
This is me from last September. I bought this scarf last August and it sold out in a hot minute and then never restocked…and well, it’s back right now! Woohoo! I love this scarf because it’s incredibly light, yet looks fallish. So, this is just what you need on those September and October days when it’s not cold but you want something “fall” to wear. Bonus, it’s only $18. It’s going to sell out quickly, so make sure you grab it while you can!
(Also, my booties are from last year…but this year, they have these in stock and I really like them too! They’re very comfy!)
I bought Essie’s new “gel-setter” top coat at Target the other day and I really love it! You just apply the top coat over any polish and it’s supposed to make your polish last much longer and keep your nails shiny. I painted my nails last Friday and I think they still look great today.
My color is Bahama Mama and then the other bottle is the gel top coat. So far, I’m a big fan!
Do you guys like sausage, peppers and onions? You know that yummy traditional Italian dish? I’m a big fan…so I made it the other night and turned it into a taco. Yummy! To see my recipe, click here.
You guys…my friend Cassie is on the cover of Redbook this month! What?! Yesssss! I am so proud of her and happy for her! Isn’t she so cute?!?! (They’re all so cute!)
I mean…how cool is this?!? Love you Cassie!!
A few of my favorite things.
So, Sheaffer came over the other day and was standing in my closet when she saw my fresh batch of Bath and Body Works pumpkin scented everything pile. #shelaughedreallyhard
Listen, I have no shame. When Bath and Body Works releases their pumpkin and fall scents, I get realllllly excited and totally over-buy candles and lotion. If you’re like me, then get excited because it’s out now in stores and online.
And last but certainly not least…Nordstrom asked if I wanted to do a little giveaway and talk back to school clothes and shoes with you ladies and considering that I had already purchased both of my big kids new shoes from Nordstrom (and I’m always up for giving you guys stuff!), I said heck yeah!
‘Tis the season for back to school!
Ashby will wear her Uggs this season, Smith got these shoes and Kensington wore out her Sam Edelman flats last year, so she got a new pair this year (they’re her very favorite shoes to wear!). And Kensington’s super cute dress can be found here.
Three happy kiddos with happy fall feet.
Speaking of super cute dresses…how cute is this one?! I originally bought it for school but when Kensington asked if she could wear it on the flight to Switzerland, I couldn’t refuse. The leggings are from Boden.
So, in honor of back to school, we’re giving away a
$100 Nordstrom gift card
today to one lucky winner. Woohoo!
Here are a few other things I love from their back to school line…
Love. I love it all. Three cheers for fall back to school clothes from Nordstrom!
