Hey everyone! Happy Friday!  I hope you had a great week! June was super busy and I feel like July has slowed down a lot and I’m very grateful for that. I’ve spent more time over the last few weeks by the pool, reading, going for walks and not having as many things on the calendar. Don’t get me wrong, summer has been plenty busy, but it has been nice to have a few slower weeks mixed in. 

Now, that I have got you all caught up on life this week, here’s some of my favorite things from this week as I link up with Erika and Andrea!

Cotton Skort– I have been on the skort/ skirt kick this summer. On hot days, or days after work, they are so easy to throw on with a cute t-shirt. I got a cotton skort for Christmas and I couldn’t wait to wear it this summer. It looks like a skirt in the front but there are built in shorts in the back. It’s lightweight and can be dressed up or down. Definitely a summer fashion favorite for me.

Bridgerton Soundtrack- I enjoy listening to music especially when I work as background noise. I will often put on a playlist or soundtrack to have on in the background. Right now, I have been hooked on the Bridgerton soundtrack. It’s all instrumental music of modern songs. I really enjoy the series and listening the the soundtrack transports me back to the show. I also really like how it’s all instrumental, so I don’t get as distracted. If you are looking for some good background music and like Bridgerton, give it a try!

The Summer I Turned Pretty– The new season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is out on Amazon Prime. I thought this was a fun series to watch last summer, it’s all about two families who spend their summers together every year. As the children get older, romances begin to form and secrets come out. The second season has brought changes and adjustments to both families but they still come back to their summer home. Is this my favorite show? No. But is it a fun show to watch and enjoy at night? Yes!

Audible– I didn’t do any Amazon Prime shopping this year, but I did sign up for a trial offer for Audible, audiobooks through Amazon. I tried their free trial a few years back and enjoyed it, so when I saw there was another free trial offer I decided to take advantage. There’s a few books/ memoirs that I have on my to-do list and figured this would be the perfect time to listen to them. I’m currently listening to Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s book, Becoming Free Indeed. I watched the Duggar family growing up and recently watched the documentary, Shiny Happy People on Amazon Prime which was eye opening. I’ve enjoyed hearing her story read by her. I’ll give it a proper review once I finish it. Stay tuned for my Audible review as well. 

28 Summers– Speaking of books, I have read some of Elin Hilderbrand’s books and have always enjoyed them. I was recommended 28 Summers by a friend and wow, I loved this book. It’s about a man and woman who meet as young college students and agree to meet up every summer in Nantucket no matter what. Now, let me start out by saying, I don’t believe in cheating or having affairs, but I did enjoy reading about how no matter what was going on in these character’s lives, they always met up every year. I loved seeing how their relationship changed and stayed the same through the years. I also loved reading all about Nantucket. I have never been, but after reading all about it and hearing how Hilderbrand describes it, makes me want to visit even more. It sounds dreamy. Definitely a summer read.

And that wraps up this week’s Friday Favorites! Lots of things to read and watch and some fun fashion too. I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend and are enjoying your July! I’ll see you back here on Wednesday! Have a great weekend!
