Friday Favorites #98

Hello Everyone and a Happy Friday to You!

I hope you are having a great summer week and are doing something fun for the weekend.  I took advantage of the calm weather and enjoyed a beautiful morning walk this past week! Plus, yesterday was in the 80’s and I did as much as I could outside, even laundry and computer work.

Before we get to all the weekend happenings, I wanted to share some things with you that I have been loving. Let’s dive right in as I link up with Erika and Andrea.

Pink Suit– This may be one of my favorite work purchases in a long time. I was on the hunt for a matching suit for months. I was looking for a dark blue, or a black or even gray matching suit. However, once I saw this matching pink suit at J. Crew I knew I had to get it. I love the cut and style of the suit, but more importantly, I love the boldness of the pink. Now, I wouldn’t wear this every day, but it is a great outfit to wear when you want to make a statement. I also love that you can swap out what blouse you wear under it, you can choose from a classic white, a navy, or even a black. You can even just wear the pants and a blouse and forgo the blazer and wear the bold pants with a solid or a floral top. This has been a favorite purchase that I know I will get a lot of good use out of. 

Kate Spade Jewelry– Another fashion favorite, I got this matching Kate Spade jewelry set for my birthday and have been having so much fun finding different outfits to wear them with. I love the glitz and glam with the sparkles, but also appreciate that the necklace and earrings aren’t too overwhelming. I think you can really dress up any solid dress or top with these items. They are fun for a girl’s night out or a date night. 

New Season of Books Beach and Beyond- One of my favorite podcasts returned for a second season. Books, Beach and Beyond is by Elin Hilderbrand and Tim Ehrenberg. They talk all things, books, authors, Nantucket, and publications. I found this podcast last winter and was so happy when they announced they would be back for another season. I always find new authors and book recommendations from them and I can’t wait to listen to the weekly episodes during my weekly runs. Their guest this week was Sarah Jessica Parker, so fun! Plus, Hilderbrand gives scoop into her books and life as an author.

New summer spray and lotion– Although, they aren’t the same scent, I’m very excited to start using these scents from Bath and Body Works. They complement each other very well. I got a lot of new scents from the Bridgerton for hand sanitizers to room scents, that I can’t wait to try, but until then I needed something summery and fresh. I love anything lemon so I know this lotion will be a hit and this body spray will be perfect for hot summer days. I can’t wait to start using them.

Bridgerton Season 3 Part Two– The second part of season 3 of Bridgerton dropped yesterday. I haven’t started it yet, but I plan to this weekend. I loved the first half of season 3 and I can’t wait to see where the second half takes us. The only downside is that there are four episodes and Bridgerton won’t be back until 2026! I wish it wasn’t that long of a wait, so I’m hoping these episodes tie me over until then.

That’s a look into what I’ve been loving lately. Tell me: hat are some of your favorite things from this past week? Let me know in the comments below! Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!

Look of the Day #28

LOTD

Happy Thursday!

It’s the last day of November which means Christmas is closer than ever!! Are you all decorated for Christmas? Is all your shopping done? I am decordated for Christmas and have some shopping done, but I’m no way ready yet for Christmas, let me get through finals first then bring on the Christmas season!

Today, I am sharing one of my new favorite dresses. I wore it for the first time last Thursday for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I love how versatile this dress can be. It is made from a silky fabric that you can wear in Spring, Summer, and Fall.  You can dress it up or down depending on the occasion.  This dress would be perfect for a holiday party, family dinner, night out with the girls, or date night!  Now let’s get down to the details.

I purchased this light lavender dress from Francesca’s Boutique! Whether, you are a long time supporter of my blog you are stopping by for the first time, Francesca’s is my favorite store go to store  for unique pieces of clothing and this dress did not disappoint.  The color was unique and soft, I loved the fabric it was made out of, and the details on the top and the sleeves are my favorite.

Because of the open and detailed neck, I opted out of a necklace. But I did dress up my fingers and ears with my favorite new accessories I got from American Eagle. I’ve worn them before with jeans, but this outfit shows how you can use them to dress up an outfit.

I dressed up my fingers with these rings!

I got this brown shoe boots from Bass Shoes. Once again, I love the unique character they have to them. Because it was a bit chilly on Thanksgiving, I wore a brown leather jacket which matched my shoes.

I loved the ensemble I pulled together for this outfit. What would you pair with this dress for accessories?
