Friday Favorites

Hello Girlfriends!!! I have been super MIA. Mostly because work has been absolutely crazy!! But things are starting to slow down and I have big things planned for this blog! Thanks for sticking with me and stay tuned for some exciting things!

This weeks Friday Favorites is all about Lilly. Her collection for Target releases THIS SUNDAY!!! I can barely contain my excitement! I will be at the doors, 9am, coffee in hand, with my best girlfriends to do some serious damage! These are my favorite things from her collection. You can see the whole look book here.

Some things to remember:

• The collection goes live somewhere between 12-2AM CST. So you can get your fill of everything then.
• Not all pieces will be in store. Check out racked.com look book here for a full list of the items that will be in store and which will only be available online.
• This stuff is going to go super fast, so my east coasters will have to drink lots of coffee to stay up for the online launch!
• Get to your stores early! 

I hope everyone has a absolutely fabulous weekend fill with lots of yummy drinks! It is so beautiful here in Philly, which definitely calls for happy hour outside!

Cozy Monday

Monday. It comes around so fast. Our weekend was so relaxing. Dan started his new semester of law school today, so we wanted to keep this weekend low key. We went to Brigantessa for dinner Friday nitght, so not on my diet but so worth it. One of our favorite bartenders/friends started working there a couple months back. They have best pizza I have ever had in my life. If you're ever in Philly it's a must. We finally took down our Christmas decorations and straightened up our apartment from the holiday hustle and bustle. It's starting to look like a home again. A new apartment update will be coming soon, we've added so much stuff. It's starting to feel more and more like home. 

It's cold, rainy, and dreary here in Philadelphia. So I've compiled all the places I would rather be than at work. I would be napping at them all if I could. Happy Monday!

A Look Back At 2014!

 Happy New Years Eve! Here are a couple favorite moments from our year. 

We have zero plans tonight, a relaxing night at home is what we both need, so it'll be champagne in our pajamas at midnight :) I'm not a big resolution person, but we definitely want to be more healthy in 2015. Sometimes it's so hard with work and school, but it's an investment in ourselves. . This blog of mine is also going to get a total revamp. Get ready 2015 we're coming for ya! 2014 has been full of so many changes for us I started a new job, we moved in together, and Dan started law school. I'm very excited to see what 2015 has to hold!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a prosperous, healthy, and happy 2015!

Friday Favorites

halloween garland / 'pajamas, all day.' tee / emoji embroidery pattern / sweatshirt jean jacket / dreamer print / pillow cover

Happy Friday! Some how this Friday favorites turned into a Halloween themed one. Really I noticed everything was black and white, so I decided to play it up since I'm super ready for fall.

How adorable is this Halloween garland?! I want it to hang on our mantle. I love garlands of any kind especially if they're holiday themed.

Lately I've only been buying comfy lounge clothes. Probably because that's all I want to wear. This pajamas, all day. tee is perfection.

Last year for Christmas I embroidered a set of kitchen towel for my mom and grandma. It was tedious but fun at the same time. I'm obsessing over this emoji embroidery pattern. I see Christmas presents for my besties already ;)

With the theme of my comfy clothes comes this sweatshirt jean jacket. Perfect for a fall Saturday. I always shoot right back to middle school whenever I shop at American Eagle, but I still always end up finding something I like for my current style there.

I love this dreamer print. There is something about motivational art that gets me. I think it's great to have them around to remind you how lucky you are everyday. 

I love this graphic pillow. I'm so over chevron, but I like how this one brakes it up to be a mix between chevron and herringbone. Still deciding on color for our living room, but a neutral is always a safe bed.

I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday weekend!

Current Obsession: Bookshelves

There is something so warming and cozy about a good bookshelf. I don't know if it's the thought of reading of just the warmth and happiness books bring. Here are some of my favs. 

Happy Wednesday! We've made it half way through another week! For me that always is a good reason for happy hour :)

Happy Monday all! Cheers to another week!

Friday Favorites

pink jacket / 'white girl problems' book  / hexagon towel ring / reusable zip lock bags

Happy Friday all! We've made it through another week!

I am dying for fall, and stores are finally starting to release pieces from their fall line. Not as much as I'd like but it's about baby steps here. This pink jacket is perfect for fall/winter. I love a jacket with an unexpected pop of color. And it's at JCrew facotory, so it's not as pricy as you'd think!

While I was on vacation last week, one of my coworkers lent me White Girl Problems to read. I was so happy cause I completely forgot about beach reading! What is wrong with me! I have no idea why it took me so long to pick up this book because it's right up my ally. It is hilarious, I was laughing out loud the whole time reading it. Babe Walker describes the life of a privileged white girl perfectly. I'm dying to get my hand on her second book Psycos.

I've been eyeing up this hexagon towel ring for a couple months now since I saw it on CopyCat Chic's room redo. It's currently on sale for $10 so get it while you can!

I stumbled upon Blue Avocado yesterday and quickly obsessed over their stuff. I hate using zip lock bags but could never find anything else that would work to bring my lunch to work. I don't know why it took me so long to find reusable ones but I bought more than enough to last us! They're $9 for two and they sell so many other cool reusable things.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend filled with relaxation and yummy drinks!

Current Obsession: Hammocks

 

There is something so whimsical and relaxing about hammocks. If our apartment was big enough we would totally have one. It can be a great decorative accent making a space feel bigger and getting more seating in without the visual mass of a chair. A couple of my favs are below from Anthropologie.

  buy here.

They can also be used to organize your cats :) 

 

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week, I think that calls for happy hour tonight!
