Friday Favorites #122

Hello all!

 Happy Black Friday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by family, friends or loved ones.

Here’s how I celebrated the day!

I started the day with our Turkey Trot 10K and hit a new PR!

I made it home to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with family and had a relaxing afternoon.

I’m not a big Black Friday shopper, I may do some browsing, but I don’t go all out. Our family typically decorates for Christmas today, which is one of my favorite traditions. I’ll be sharing some photos next week. 

Before I start decorating, I wanted to share some favorites with you today as I link up with Erika and Andrea. Just head’s up, there’s a lot of holiday favorites once again! Let’s dive in!

List of Holiday Movies and Shows– Speaking of the holidays, there’s nothing that goes better with a Christmas cookie than a hot cup of cocoa and a holiday movie. I came across this list from TVLine of all the traditional holiday movies and specials and when they will air. I can’t wait to add them to my calendar and watch them all as the season progresses. This would be a great page to bookmark and refer to through the season.

Wicked– I saw Wicked when it came out last weekend and I was blown away. I think they did a great job with the casting. I loved the costumes and the cinematography as well as the setting. I definitely think it lived up to its expectations. It was a longer movie, but the music, singing, dancing, and plot moved it along. I know I will be listening to the soundtrack for the foreseeable future.

Phone Holder– I got a phone holder to prop up my cell phone at work and it’s been a game changer. I am always on my phone at work and for years I have just had it next to me or propped up on random items, but now having something to prop it up so I can see things on my phone has been a huge help. I even got it for free at an event which makes me even happier. 

Night Agent Trailer- A lot of my favorite shows that I follow on streaming services are getting ready to return for new seasons including the Night Agent. The show is all about an overnight agent working for the government who is forced to step up and take on a new role to save the government from going corrupt. The first season was really good and I’m excited to see what the second season will bring. You can watch the trailer here.

New Starbucks Drink– Calling all Starbucks fans! Did you get your free red cup last week? I know I did! It was pretty warm, so I opted for a refresher as opposed to a warm drink. I love Starbucks refreshers in the summer, I typically drink a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Lemonade in the summer. I opted for the Merry Cran Orange Refresher and I loved it! It was refreshing, but also very fall-like. I love the taste of fresh cranberries! What’s your go-to Starbucks holiday drink?!

That’s a look into life lately and what I’m loving. What have been some favorites of yours from this past week? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy Friday and have a great holiday weekend!

Look of the Day #81

LOTD

Hello All!

Depending on when you read this I am either in the middle of taking my last final or have already finished it. Yay!! I have to stay for work until tomorrow and then it is home for Christmas break, I can hardly wait. 

A little background about today’s look of the day. I wasn’t planning on sharing this outfit, but when I put it on I couldn’t resist sharing it. I apologize for the mirror selfie but this outfit screamed Christmas and with the holiday quickly approaching I think this would be the perfect opportunity to share this look. 

Festive for the Holidays

This outfit is fairly simple. I am wearing my suede wedges from Shoe Carnival for this look.

These are my favorite dark wash, boot cut jeans from Old Navy. The boot cut looks works great with a low wedge. 

This is my favorite long sleeve white t-shirt from Old Navy, I like how it is a simple V-neck so you can mix and match it with outfits. This may seem like a simple outfit of blue jeans and a white t-shirt but this scarf completely changes the outfit. 

This is a blanket scarf but I tied it up so it can be worn over my top. The plaid is perfect for the holidays, and I always love a good monogram especially when its right out front. I topped off my outfit with a bright lip. I got this scarf as a gift a few years back and I always love to bring it out during the holidays. 

I hope this look gets you into the Christmas spirit, we are getting closer and closer to the holidays. Good luck with all your last minute preparations for Christmas.
