Friday Favorites

 

It has been so long since I have done a favorites post but I have rounded up a few things that I wanted to share:

Cow Print Popsocket: I saw this on instagram and had to have it!  Kyle got it for me for Christmas and it is my FAVORITE popsocket!  I'm all about cow print.

Twist Hoop Earrings: These are my go-to earrings at the moment, I haven't taken them out since I got them!  I love a good pair of huggie earrings and these are so nice!  They give me David Yurman vibes and they are less than $12!

Blue Light Glasses: Working on the computer all the time I need a good pair of blue light glasses to protect my eyes.  This pair is my new favorite.  They feel like really great quality and have some weight but don't hurt my ears.  I also like that they don't have a crazy yellow tint like some glasses do.

CeraVe Lotion: With all the dry air plus just having crazy pregnant hormones my skin has been crazy dry!  I have tried quite a few lotions and none seemed to really combat the dryness totally.  We have all seen the commercials but this stuff is great!  My skin stopped having that annoying peeling dryness and my skin has been smoother.

Steve Madden Sneakers: I have been eyeing these sneakers for over a year and they finally went on an amazing sale at DSW!  I combined a sale with reward points and got them for less than $30!  They are the perfect go with anything shoe and are super comfy.  They also give off that Golden Goose trendy dirty sneaker look for WAY less!

That wraps up my favorites, let me know if you have tried any of these things and what you have been loving lately!

We are in the process of moving and at the moment my whole life is in boxes and things are crazy. I'm so ready to be settled in and able to unpack.  Taking a break from the crazy to share some of my favorite items as of lately:

Funny Tea Towels: How cute are these towels? I love adding a little quirky touch to my decor, it shows off character. Bonus use code ERINR15 for 15% off!

Leopard Sandals: Everyone had these sandals last year and I missed out, they came back and I jumped on them.  I love the touch of leopard and they are really comfy, perfect for everyday throw on and go.  J.Crew pretty much always has them marked down, don't miss out on them!

Beach tote: Handwoven, waterproof and super spacious!  This one is perfect for summer!  We are planning a trip to the lake soon and this bag is definitely coming with me.

Hipstik tights: I have a pair of these in black and they are my absolute favorite tights EVER!  They have a wide lace waistband with that stay put lining.  They don't slip, they don't dig in and they are comfy.  I have had the black pair for 2 years and they are still in great condition.  I just picked up a nude pair and cannot recommend them enough! Use code ERIN10 for 10% off!

You are Loved Sweatshirt: Cozy, comfy and a message.  I love this super soft sweatshirt!  With a subtle, but very important proclamation this sweatshirt is my new favorite. You can also use code ERINR15 for 15% off.  

Hope you all are staying safe and healthy!  Stay tuned for updates on our move, new house and more!

It's about time I got back and started talking about my favorites.

Adidas Sneakers: These were a birthday gift and I love them!  They are such a pretty classic sneaker and the rose gold touch adds a chic touch.  Mine are the lilac color, I'd say they are really cram with the slightest tint of lilac.

Torani Syrup: Since we've been staying home I have started making my own lattes.  I have the hazelnut flavored syrup and have really enjoyed adding milk, creamer and the syrup to my coffee for an easy at home latte.  If you really want to get fancy you can froth up your milk with this guy.

The Kennedys: I just started this series on Hulu and I'm hooked.  I had heard about this series when it first came out but never watched it.  I've really been into watching more historical based series and shows.  This one follows the Kennedys and the journey to the White House and the tragedies that follow.  I have really been enjoying watching it.

Blink: I played this game all the time with my siblings when I was younger.  While stuck at home Kyle and I have been playing more games and this has been a nightly pick.  You can only play with two people and its super fast.  If you are looking for a fun card game check this one out!

Kendra Scott Earrings: This was another birthday gift and I LOVE them!  They are so classy yet subtle.  Perfect for wearing with pretty much everything!  Also they are on sale ;)

Hope you all have been doing well and not getting too stir crazy!  Let me know what you have been loving lately in the comments below!  

Stay Safe!

Woohoo it's Friday and favorites time!  I've got some birthday gifts to talk about, a tv show and a super random food favorite.

Beaded Hoop Earrings: These were a birthday gift and I am obsessed with them!  They are so pretty and add just a little boho vibe to a look.  I love the mixed metal beads.  I just got these last week and have already worn them a ton.  

Sherpa Teddy Jacket: You guessed it this was another birthday gift and y'all it's a good one!  This is such a good dupe for the I Am Gia Pixie coat (that's like $150) and it's $20!  So cozy, oversized and the front pockets are nice and roomy.   

Chocolate Hazelnut Bars: Yes this is super random but y'all these chocolate bars are AMAZING!!  I love hazelnut and these are perfection.  We actually got them in our stockings and have been rationing them so they last.  They have a creamy hazelnut inside, crunchy wafer outside and then delicious chocolate cover.  Oh my goodness they are so good! 

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist: I had seen ads for this new show and figured I would see what all it was about.  I was hooked from the first episode!  If you are a fan of musicals this one is definitely for you!  Zoey is a computer coder and after an unusual event she can suddenly hear people's innermost thoughts through song.  All of a sudden people around her (strangers, family, friends) burst into song and dance that only she can see/hear.  Of course she is freaked out at first but things happen and she starts to realize that maybe this is a gift.  It is really cute, the music is fun and it is just a happy show.  I already recommended it to my sister's and friends to check out.  If you watched it let me know what you thought below!

Dr. Scholl's Kinney Platform Sneakers: I just got these sneakers in the mail the other day and I already LOVE them!  They were super comfy right off the bat.  I love the elevated platform for a little boost.  They are so cute and I know I will be wearing these on major repeat.

Hope you all had a great week and have a wonderful weekend!  I'm definitely spending this weekend getting my life organized...lots of exciting things coming soon!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!  Back at it with my favorite things from the week.

The Ordinary Lactic Acid Solution: I had heard a lot of things about this brand and decided to finally give it a try.  I have been using this solution at night everyday for a little over a week and my skin definitely feels softer, I'm interested to see more results and try out more from this brand.  If you have tried it let me know your recommendations!

Purse Strap: I am a fan of adding a little character to my items and changing out my purse strap was such an easy thing to update.  Amazon has LOADS of options in so many patterns and colors!  This snake print one is so fun!  I like the wider strap, much more comfortable and I love the option to switch up the look of my bags.  

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris: A heartbreaking, beautiful testament to love and the drive to live.  I am planning a more in depth review later when I talk about my books I have been reading but this one was hard (heavy material) to read yet so hard to put down.  If you are interested in WWII/Holocaust related books this one is a must read.

Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel: My bag of choice has been this suede Regan satchel from Rebecca Minkoff.  I love the tassel accents and subtle boho/western vibe it gives off.  The crossbody strap is pretty thin so I have been switching it out for the amazon wide purse straps.  They also have a leather version on NordstromRack. 

Kate Spade Floral Phone Case: I have had this case on for a few weeks and it just might be my favorite case I have had in quite a while.  I love how thin and compact it is yet my phone still feels protected.  It also doesn't hurt that it is really pretty.  I have the Google Pixel 2XL and got a great deal on mine from Walmart but they also have other models on Amazon.

Let me know what you have discovered and loved this week!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorites

It's favorite time!!  As can be expected the majority of my favorites are Christmas gift items.  I've gotta try out my new toys!

Mixer: Not only is this thing gorgeous and looks pretty on the counter it is so nice!!  I have really been enjoying how much easier it makes the preparation of a recipe!  My arms are thanking this guy! 

Toasted Coconut Coffee: Random pick up from my last grocery run to Aldi and I'm in love!!!  I am a fan of all things coconut and this coffee did not disappoint.  Light coconut flavor that is not overpowering and I look forward to it every morning!  May or may not be planning on making a trip to Aldi to stock up...

Pullover:  I have worn this one more times than I want to admit. It is so cozy and comfy, perfect for leggings and I love the print!  It is just that good.  I'm definitely looking at buying more in different patterns. 

Blue light glasses: These glasses are a win!  They are super lightweight and don't hurt my head.  I have been wearing them all day at work.  If you have been looking for a pair of blue light glasses these are a really good affordable pair.

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer: Alright y'all I get the hype of this guy.  I have been using it pretty regularly to dry my hair and I am a fan.  I definitely still need some practice but I have really been enjoying the results of this one.  It drys my hair relatively fast, adds some volume and yes it smooths out my hair.  If you have been on the fence I say give it a try.  

Alright y'all those are my favorites for the week.  Let me know what you have been loving below.  Hope you have had a wonderful week!  

Friday Favorites

I'm on a roll with my favorites, this week is totally random.  Two TV shows, a snack, makeup and a toothbrush.  Hold on, it's getting exciting here ;)

Electric Toothbrush: I have been wanting to try an electric toothbrush for a while now and decided to give this one a go.  I have been pretty impressed with it.  It looks really nice and comes with replacement heads.  The setting lasts for 2 minutes and gives you an alert in 30 second intervals to switch to a different part of your mouth.  It definitely tickles and is something you have to get used to but I feel like my teeth are cleaner so that's a win for me.  Also it is less than $30 and would also make a really nice gift.

Brownie Batter Humus: Y'all this is my new favorite treat!  Chocolate dip that isn't terrible for you.  Yes it is still a dessert but it isn't loaded in sugar and actually has some nutritional properties.  The texture might be a little strange for some (slightly gritty) but the flavor is really good!  Subtle chocolate, not too sweet that is perfect for dipping pretzels in.  Kyle and I polished off the container in a weekend.  I may or may not have taken a spoon the the remainder of the tub... 

The Crown: Season three is new on Netflix and I'm a little embarrassed that I am over halfway through the season.  I find the historical look at the royal family life so interesting.  You get the drama of their life, historical events and really good characters.  If you are interested in the royal family it is worth a watch.   

Poldark: Ross Poldark made his final bow last Sunday as the show came to an end.  Definitely one of my favorite shows on Masterpiece.  Beautiful setting, emotional and romantic story-lines and characters that you fall in love with.  The first season is still my absolute favorite but the series as a whole will always have my heart.  If you haven't watched Poldark and you are a fan of Downton Abbey or other Masterpiece series, I cannot recommend it enough!

Anastasia Soft Glam: Rediscovered my favorite palette.  This beauty was a gift last Christmas and I'm still loving it!  Anytime I go for a made-up look this palette is my go-to.  This one would also make a great gift for any makeup lover! The quality is excellent! 

That ends my random favorites, I would love to know what you all have been loving this week.  Let me know below!  

Friday Favorites

It's been a while since I have done a favorites and had a few things I wanted to share:

Lace Up Boots: These boots are the perfect everyday shoes for the fall and winter!  They are super sturdy and I have been enjoying styling them with sweaters, leggings, and much more.  

Camo leggings: These leggings are my new favorite!!  They are compression and hold everything in!  I love the camo print and know I will be wearing them ALL the time!

Better Call Saul: Kyle and I just finished season 3 and it is so good!  We finished Breaking Bad earlier this year and started this one that is somewhat of a prequel.  Breaking Bad was really good but I honestly like Better Call Saul even more.  The characters are really good and the story line is so interesting.  It's not quite as intense as Breaking Bad so it's a little more my speed.  

Chai Tea:  You know I'm a big coffee fan but sometimes I need a little switchup.  I have been a fan of this chai tea for years.  All you do is mix half of the chai with half milk, you can drink it hot or cold and it's delicious!  Perfectly spicy and creamy.  

The Good Witch: I'm always a sucker for a cheesy Hallmark show, this one is on Netflix and yes the cheese is real but I'm enjoying it.  Set in the perfect little town that somehow always feels like Christmas, Cassie owns a B&B and a gift shop.  She helps everyone in town in mysterious ways.  There is of course a few romantic relationships on the side.  It's an easy watch and if you're a fan of Hallmark its a win.  

Let me know what you have been loving this week!

Friday Favorites

Getting back into the blogging game and that means sharing things I have been all about lately, these are really good this week (obviously I'm into them):

Monogram Initial Necklace: I love this dainty disc necklace with my initial.  Even better is the mission behind it.  Every purchase from the Starfish Project helps exploited women in Asia experience freedom, establish independence and develop careers. 

Moto Jacket: Yes it is still 80 degrees here so I can't really wear my fall favorites yet but cooler weather is coming soon I just know it!  This super soft faux suede moto jacket from Peach is my favorite new item for the season!  I love the olive color and can't wait to pair it with everything this fall!

Poldark Season 5: Ross and Demelza are back and I am LOVING it!!  The first episode from season 5 started last week and it was so good!!  This is the final season for the show so it is definitely bittersweet but I am enjoying it while it lasts.  If you haven't watched Poldark and you are a fan of Downton Abbey check it out!

BearPaw slippers: These just might be the fluffiest, coziest slippers I have ever put on my feet.  Not even kidding they are crazy plush.  I got them in the prettiest subtle gold and I know I will be wearing them ALL the time!  If you are looking for a pair of pair of cozy slippers, these are a winner. 

Here There and Back Again Blog: My sister started a blog and I may be slightly biased but y'all it's good!  She has always loved to write and with her college classes her skills have gotten even better.  She's really good at bringing out the emotions in her writing and making you feel what she is feeling.  She's just a great writer and story teller.  Check out her blog, she has been talking about her recent travels and things going on in her life.  New posts on Monday, give her a read!

That's a wrap for this weeks favorites, let me know what you have been loving lately down below!

Friday Favorites

It's Friday and I'm back with my favorites!  

Great Commission Coffee: This coffee is delicious!  We ordered the medium roast and the medium dark roast and they are both excellent!  What is really neat is that with each purchase of a bag of coffee you contribute enough funds to feed a Nicaraguan family of four for an entire week, or to provide Bibles for two families.  A great cup of coffee with a cause. 

Bralette: Is it acceptable to just wear a bralette everyday?  Pretty sure that's what I'm gonna do.  These bralettes are so pretty and perfect for pairing with pretty much anything!  They are crazy comfy and padded so you really can't go wrong!

Thredup: I shared my haul earlier but y'all I found so many good deals!!  It was national thrift day and they had up to 50% off things with free shipping!  I got Free People, Articles of Society, and more for cheap, check out my post here.

Vans: I finally bit the bullet and purchased some Vans and guys I love them!  I got these really pretty light blue ones from DSW and I have been wearing them a ton!  They are really comfy and go with everything.  I am typically a size 6.5 and I sized down to a 6 with no problem. 

Frutta Bowls: Y'all I had my first bowl a few weeks ago and just recently had my second and I LOVE them!  I get the classic frutta bowl that has acai, granola, pineapple, strawberries, coconut, kiwi, peanut butter and nutella.  It's amazing!  They are a little pricey so they are definitely a treat.  

Hope you all had a great week!  Let me know what you have been loving below!

Friday Favorites

Friday favorites coming at you.  I love seeing favorites from people, gives me ideas of things to check out for myself.  Be sure and let me know your favorites so I can check them out!

Stranger Things Season 3: We finished season 3 last week and y'all it was crazy!!  No spoilers for those of you who haven't finished it yet.  I am a total chicken and don't do scary movies at all and I'll be honest and say that this season was a little creepy.  Much creepier than the past seasons for sure.  The characters were good, story was great and I would definitely recommend it!

Country Graphic Tees: I did a post styling these tees last week, check it out here.  I am obsessed with them!!  They are so cute and they look really fun and vintage.  I've really been enjoying styling them and showcasing my love for country music. 

Instacart: This has been a lifesaver y'all!  Such a great way to save time!!  I don't always have time to go to the grocery store with work and everything else going on so instacart is super helpful.  You pick out your items and schedule a delivery, the quickest they can deliver is 2 hours.  You then get an update on who is shopping for your order, if any items are unavailable and then when they are on their way to your location.  Sometimes things may be a few cents more and you do have a delivery fee of $4 but y'all I'm willing to pay that for the convenience of not having to go to the grocery store.

Rose Gold Earrings: I ordered these beautiful earrings from Aliexpress and have been wearing them ever since.  I love the simplicity of them and they don't irritate my ears!!

Runaway June: Yay for new music!!  I have really been enjoying Runaway June's new album.  Reminds me a little bit of old school Dixie Chicks.  Some of my favorites are: Head Over Heels, I Know the Way, Got Me Where I Want You Good, Bad and Ugly and Blue Roses.  

Let me know what you have been loving lately!

Friday Favorites

Friday favorites coming at you.

Joggers: I already own these joggers in black and am obsessed with them so I figured I would pick them up in a new color.  I got this really pretty slate and I love them!  They are no kidding the softest joggers EVER!!!

Eli Young - Break it In: Yes to new music from Eli Young!!!  My husband and I are big Eli Young Band fans and I am so excited they have new music coming!  I love the chorus of this one, such a great sound! p.s. if you missed our Eli Young Band concert experience, check it out here.   

Initial necklace: I have been eying this one for a while and finally ordered it.  I love how dainty and tiny it is, perfect for layering or pairing on its own for an effortless look.  Also it's crazy cheap, it just takes a little while to get here with shipping. 

Crossbody bag: My sister picked this bag up for me from her job at Altar'd State.  She gets a pretty good discount so she got it for a steal.  I love the simplicity of it and even though it is a smaller bag it fits a lot!!

Big Brother: Big Brother is back and my husband and I are living for it!!  This is the third season we have watched and we are so hooked!  If you have never watched it I completely recommend checking it out, it is so interesting to watch.  Prepare to get reeled in, I know I did the first time I started it.  

That's it for favorites this week, letme know down below what you guys have been loving lately!

Friday Favorites

Back with a Friday favorites!  These are the things I have been obsessed with lately and wanted to share them with you so you can share the obsession.

Twisted Cable Bracelet: I'm all about a good designer dupe, this twisted x cable bracelet is a new favorite for sure!  I love the look of the Yurman bracelets but that price is crazy high, these bracelets are $20 and I'm obsessed!  They feel great and fit my wrist really well.

Blame it on my roots top: If I can wear my boots I'm a happy girl.  I love my cowgirl boots.  As soon as I saw this top I knew I had to have it!  This color is so cute and the fit is great.  Super comfy and perfect for showing off my country side. 

Metallic snake sneakers: Meet my new favorite sneakers!!  I have been really enjoying the trendy Golden Goose inspired sneakers going around.  These have the cutest metallic snake print and just a little bit of sparkle.  They are really comfy and I have been pretty much living in them!  Don't miss out on these guys!

Rose lip gloss: I just picked up this gloss a few days ago and I am already in LOVE!!  I heard that it was a dupe for the FENTY Gloss Bomb so I really wanted to try it out.  It was on sale at Walgreens so I decided to pick it up.  Y'all this stuff feels amazing!!  It gives your lips a healthy, pretty glow but its not sticky at all.  

Better Call Saul: We recently finished Breaking Bad and needed another show so we started this one.  If you are a fan of Breaking Bad give this one a try.  It has the same style but more of a drama, not quite as harsh and intense as Breaking Bad.  I am really enjoying the exploration of characters from Breaking Bad that I liked, Saul being top. 

There's my weekly favorites, let me know what you have been loving! 

Friday Favorites

Back on that Friday Favorites grind, I love sharing my favorites!  Hope y'all enjoy seeing what I have been loving as much as I enjoy talking about them.

Checkered wallet: No I haven't gone crazy and spent hundreds of dollars on a wallet...this guy is less than $20!!!  I have been using it for a while and am a big fan.  The quality is great and it is such a great dupe for the designer version.  They also have different color options, don't miss out on this one!

Tenille Arts and Tyler Braden: New music!!  My husband and I went to a concert last week and Tyler Braden was the opener.  He is super talented and has such a great voice.  He only has three songs on spotify right now but I'm a fan of all three.  I also recently discovered Tenille Arts and LOVE her voice!  Easy to listen to and she has some really great songs, my favorite of the moment is "Raindrops, Dirt Roads" and "Run Out of You".

Agent Carter: We recently saw Avengers End Game and I needed more Marvel in my life.  I have been wanting to watch this show for a while and I finally jumped in.  I'm a big fan!!  Peggy Carter is Awesome!  I love the time period clothing, hair and setting.  The story line is great and I love seeing Avenger tidbits in it.  It's girl power without bashing boys.  Everyone is great!

Folger's Breakfast Blend: I like to try out different coffee blends every once in a while, this is my new favorite.  It has a great flavor but no bitterness.  It pairs really well with my coconut creamer of choice.  I'm a fan!

St. Moriz Self Tanner: I needed a self tanner to use for Disney and I decided to give this one a try.  Y'all know I am a pale red head and I got the dark shade.  I was really nervous that it was going to turn me orange or super dark.  It was really great, not overly dark and stayed relatively well.  I used the mitt and it was really helpful for getting an even layer.  If you have never used a mitt to tan before I HIGHLY recommend it.

Five Things Friday

Another weekly favorites!  A little random, but that's what makes it fun.

Teleties: I got these in my stocking and have been loving them.  I got the peppermint color and it is like a unicorn, all holographic and gorgeous.  These guys really work, they are super comfy in your hair and look really cute on your wrist.  I've been wearing one on my wrist pretty much everyday.  Also little tip, if they get a little stretched out shrink them back with hot water.

Liz High Top Sneakers: I finally got my hands on these shoes!  They were on my Christmas wishlist but ended up selling out.  I got a notification that they were back in stock and jumped on it.  These guys are super comfy!  I have been wearing them non-stop!!  They look exactly like the Dolce Vita pair but for a fraction of the price.

Extra Toasty Cheez-its: So this is a random favorite but y'all if you haven't tried the extra toasty cheez-its you are missing out completely!  I like the "burnt" cheze-its in the regular box and this is a box of just them!  Now don't get put off, they don't taste burnt, you really have to try them for yourself!

Animal print robe: I got this robe for Christmas and have pretty much been living in it!  It is crazy soft and cozy.  It says it is animal print but my husband has dubbed it "Giwaffle".  He says it looks like a Giraffe/waffle.

Kendra Scott Elisa necklace: This was my early birthday gift from my husband.  We spent the weekend spending time together and picked up this beauty.  It is the Elisa in the light blue illusion and I'm in love!  I have been wanting an Elisa for years and finally have one in my collection.  

Let me know what you have been loving!

Five Things Friday

I love seeing what people are loving.  It's been a while since I have done a post on my favorites, thought I would bring it back.

Stranger Things: Kyle and I have been watching this for a while and I realized that I hadn't even talked about it.  We are on season 2 now and I'm definitely hooked.  I held off on watching it because I was afraid it would be too scary (I'm a total chicken).  While it is a little freaky the story line is great as well as the characters.  We are about halfway through season 2 and I can't wait to see what happens. 

Anastasia Soft Glam Palette: I got this as a Christmas gift and am in love!  I will admit I was definitely afraid of this palette at first but y'all its so pretty!  The shadows are super buttery and pigmented.  It's always nice to get something as a gift that you wouldn't normally get yourself. 

Sam Edelman Boots: These boots!!  I have been wearing these boots so much this winter.  They look so chic!  The fur is crazy soft and I love the soft touch they give to your outfit.  

Alex and Ani Bracelet: My mom got this for me for Christmas and I have been wearing it everyday since.  The charm is sterling silver and the bracelet adjusts to fit my wrist (something that rarely happens).  They are on sale right now for $10!

Planner: I am a big fan of having a planner to write in for the year.  This one was a Christmas gift and I am loving the large layout. 

Five Things Friday

It has been while since I have done a Friday favorites and I missed talking about things I have been loving.  

Dunkin Donuts Maple Pecan Iced Coffee: I have a love hate relationship with Dunkin Donuts coffee.  I have only had a few that I really love, most of the time they are way too sweet.  I had a coupon and decided to give the new fall flavor a try.  Guys I am obsessed!  It was delicious!!  I am a big fan of Starbuck's Toffee Nut and this is really similar.  I will for sure be getting quite a few before they disappear for the season.  Have you tried this one?  What's your favorite Dunkin drink?

Cinnamon Quick Bread Mix: I found a box of this on clearance and thought I would give it a try.  We made it for breakfast over the weekend and y'all this stuff is delicious!!  I went back and bought all they had, such an easy treat!

Dote App: I have heard all about the Dote App on youtube and just decided to give it a try.  Run down, Dote is like a mall on an app.  You can add things from all kinds of different stores (forever 21, Revolve, Sephora, DSW and then checkout all together.  You only have to enter your credit card info once...it's almost too easy.  Use my code: BMEOL for $5 off!

Peplum Denim Jacket: If you follow me on instagram (or in real life) you know I love this jacket.  A denim jacket is such a classic choice but add the peplum ruffle hem and it gives it a feminine update.  I have been pairing it with everything. 

Leopard Espadrille Mules: These shoes have been on my wishlist since they came out.  I almost bought them several times and something held me back.  Last week I went thrift store shopping and found them brand new in my size for $5!!  Guys that's why I love thrifting!!  I have been wearing them on repeat lately and honestly they are worth the $25, they are super comfortable and I love how they look.  Don't be afraid of the animal print, it goes with everything.

What have you been loving lately?

Five Things Friday

It's been a while since I have shared my weekly favorites and I figured it was time to bring it back...I also had a good number of things I really wanted to share.

O-Venture Keyring: I have seen these guys all over instagram and was interested in them.  The ladies were really sweet and sent one over so I could try it out, y'all I love it!  These are leather key rings that are big enough to slip over your wrists.  Honestly they are super awesome and I am obsessed!  My husband even remarked on the usefulness of it when he drove my car the other day.  They are a little pricey but the quality is amazing!

Adair Sandals: In case you missed my post on getting these Jack Rogers for less than $20, check it out here.  I picked the natural cork color and I am obsessed with them!  They were super comfy from the get-go, which is different from all my other Jacks.  Typically they take a little while to break in. They also have a rubberized bottom on the leather so they aren't slippery on the floor.  Definitely thankful for that as I have slipped quite a few times in my other Jacks. Jack Rogers are high quality sandals and I know they are going to last for years so for under $20 you absolutely can't beat it!     

Bobsweep: This was another instagram find, I saw a few people talking about them and looked into what Bobsweep was all about.  I have been wanting a Roomba for years and this guy was another option.  They were really great and sent one to me to try out, I'm hooked.  I set Bob up and he just goes!  I can chill out or work on other home projects and Bob will vacuum my floor, such a time saver.  Yes he gets stuck sometimes and his charge definitely doesn't last long enough to do the whole house but for not being able to always vacuum myself I'm all about Bob!

The Kitchen Boy A Novel of the Last Tsar: I have been really interested in the Romanav family since watching Anastasia when I was little.  It is such an interesting story and something I realized I didn't know a lot of details about.  This book dives into the capture of the Romanavs and their tragic story told through the eyes of the kitchen boy.  He claims to be the last living witness of the tragic murder of the Romanav family and sets out to tell the dark secrets surrounding their deaths.  It is a fictional book but filled with historical facts.  I was so interested in the story and ended up looking up more details on the actual events in history surrounding the Romanavs.  If you are interested in Anastasia or historical fiction check this book out!

Important date art: I got this beautiful date art pieces from Wishfulinkling Designs on etsy and I love it!  She sells just the prints so you have to get your own frame but Michael's or Hobby Lobby have you covered.  Each print is a special date and location, I decided to showcase where we met, got engaged and where we got married.  I love the timeline it shows and the going back and thinking about those places and times in our life.

Five Things Friday

It has been a while since I have done one of these and I have missed it!  Check out what I have been loving this week (longer than that really).

Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour: I was really surprised by how much I loved this album.  It is easy to listen to and I love her voice, plus the songs are really good.  Some of my favorites are "Space Cowboy", "Slow Burn", "Love is a Wild Thing" and "Wonder Woman" but I can listen to the whole album and I like every song...that doesn't happen often.

Braided Booties: I showed these in my shopping haul and I have been wearing them nonstop.  They are so comfy and the perfect spring transitional shoe.  I am seriously obsessed with them and so glad I got them!

Prints: If you haven't picked up on it yet, I love personalized things.  I saw these fun state/city prints at Signet Sealed on etsy and fell in love!  They are like a collage of the state and I am all about them.  Sarah, the creator is adorable and sent three of her pieces for me to check out.  I picked three places that we have lived in/close to.  I love all the details and am so excited to display them.

Coffee: Coconut and coffee, two of my favorites.  This coffee was raved about by one of my coworkers and I finally tried it.  It is my favorite!!  Not an overwhelming flavor and you still get a coffee flavor.

Wireless Earphones: These have been a long time coming, I had a cheap pair that was more trouble than they were worth (which wasn't a lot).  These are awesome!  I have been wearing them to the gym and love not having to deal with a cord.  Also the battery lasts all week.  Definitely recommend and they were super affordable!

Let me know what you have been loving!

Instagram Roundup

I went post happy this week...here's a recap

We took a day trip to Boone, NC with my family while visiting and had such a great time reminiscing on the campus.

"Spring Break" involved two separate accounts of snow...

Every once in a while I like to throw in a mirror picture, this faux suede drapy duster is a favorite.

I posted about my Sephora Birthday gift for this year, check it out here.

So good to see my family and celebrate my littlest sister's Birthday!

I can't resist a cute mug!  We picked up the pretty light blue one with "I Love You to the Mountains and Back"

I posted about the prettiest sentiment bangle bracelets, I love a well placed quote.

If you haven't seen my post on Wal-Mart finds, check it out here.  I found this necklace along with so many other things.

I will leave you with this beautiful sunset picture I was lucky enough to witness.  What a great reminder of God's love and how His mercies are new every day.
