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

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

Here are some of my favorite things I've purchased this week.

Tory Burch & Fitbit announced they were partnering up to make a fashionable way to wear your fit bit back in February. I literally squealed when I found out. I absolutely love my Fitbit, but lets be honest ladies, a rubber black band does not go with your everyday attire. It sticks out like a sore thumb against my gold watch and my gold/white bangle collection. They said it would be released in the spring. Well clearly spring has come and gone, and I was dying to get my hands on it. But the gods answered my prayers and they went on presale early this week. I told Danny this is another option for my birthday present, but the bummer is it won't ship until 09/01. So if I don't get a confirmation that he bought it for my birthday I will be purchasing it first thing Wednesday.

Fall is my absolute favorite season is fall and I'm secretly excited for fall weather. J Crew is starting to release some fall thing and I had to get my hands on this vest. I bought the navy one last year and was debating on this one for months. They put all their new arrivals on sale so I snagged it while they still has XS in stock. These things fly off the shelves so if you need a popular size order asap!

I've been eying up this elephant tank for a couple weeks now. The flash deal site I use normally has it a couple times a month. I bought it last week and I love it. I've loved elephants for as long as I can remember and I love the whimsical feel of the flowers.

I've been thinking about getting new sneakers for about a month now. Mine are still in good shape, but I'm getting tired of them. I was looking at what  Nordstorm's anniversary sale (which goes until 08/03) had and found this super cute pair. At $72 it was a steal!

Tiny Tea is a detox I've done a couple times now. They have a 14 day and a 28 day. The 28 is just too long for me so I always stick with the 14 day one. I'm about 3/4 through it and I feel amazing. It cuts my bloating like no other and gives me so much energy. I haven't needed coffee since I started it! If you use it along with exercise and diet it really helps loose weight. With my bother being in town last weekend and everything else in life, I got lazy with my diet and gym schedule, so this is just the pick me up I need. It's priced pretty well, but they do sales every now and then for holidays so I always pick it up when it's 20% off.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend full of relaxation and yummy drinks!

Current Obsession: Concrete & Wood

Happy Wednesday! We've made it halfway through another week!

Friday Favorites

 'Press for Champagne' wall art / Hai Street Kitchen & Co / jacket / pom pillow / 'for like ever' acrylic sign

Happy Friday everyone! We have made it through another week! 

I'm in love with this Press for Champagne wall art. It's quirky and classy all in one! Check out lisagolightly's Etsy shop (she even has one that rings!).

Hai Street Kitchen & Co just opened up in Philly a couple months back, and we're obsessed. It's a fusion between burritos and sushi, my two favorite things! It's set up as counter service like a Chipotle would be but it has an Asian twist on it. If you're ever in Philly you absolutely have to try them out!

I've been eying up this jacket from the Loft for a couple months now waiting for it to go on sale. When I was in this past weekend they only had 1 left in XS petite. They were having a huge 50% off sale but it was only on select styles. Luckily the girls decided to honor it and gave it to me at 50, plus I had $20 off from my Loft MC and $15 off for my birthday month. I made out like a bandit on it! It's the perfect late summer/early fall jacket. I'm obsessed.

Lately I've been loving pillows with pom trim. I found this one in ThePillowStudioShop on Etsy. I like this one cause they have a couple different trim colors that you can choose from and they also have an option to add pom trim to any of their pillows!

I've been designing our entry hall for a couple weeks now, unfortunately it's only in my mind. I love this 'for like ever' acrylic cut out for on top of a console table. Maybe one day.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! My baby brother (he's 14, but little doesn't cut it anymore cause he towers over me) is coming to visit me and I'm super excited to show him around my city.

Current Obsession: Bold Stripes

 

 

 

 

Stripes are one of my all time favorite design elements. They can be subtle if you want but I love them when they're bold! They can do so much for a room. Doing them on the horizontal can make it feel bigger while doing them on the vertical can make it feel taller. Doing them on the ceiling can add a fun, whimsical effect to any room. We've made it to Wednesday, which means the week is half way over! Whoohoo! I hope everyone had a great remainder of the week!
