Friday Favorites

What are you up to this weekend? I needed the whole week to reset after traveling with my toddler because I felt like this. So this weekend will be busy with ballet class, Christmas shopping and we may finally use our tickets to Global Wonderland. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Accessory: Clyde Dome Hat in Forest Green.  I did not find this exact one, but this one is a beautiful alternative. 

Favorite Home Decor: Emerald decor-via Melissa Mercier. Now this is a statement colored couch. 

Favorite Drink: Harvest Sparkle-via Fed + Fit.  This looks delicious and I love that she provides the recipe for a single cocktail or a large batch.  A large batch for a holiday party would be perfect. 

Favorite DIY: Eucalyptus Wreath-via Freckle and Wulff. It's not too late to throw this together, and it would make your home smell divine. 

Favorite Manicure: Forest Green manicure.  This model has on Butter London nail lacquer in Racing Green on top of black for a deep, forest green. If you do not have the Butter London color, I am currently wearing Posh by Revlon on top of black. 

Favorite Recipe: Christmas cake-via Freutcake. The easiest and best way to celebrate the birth of Jesus is with cake and champagne (or that yummy Harvest Sparkle above)! 

Favorite Song on repeat: Good Times by Chic.  Luna and I get down to this song.  It makes for top notch kitchen dancing!

What are your plans this weekend?  We had a busy week and on top of that all three of us have been sick.  I currently smell like vapor rub and attempting to think through my NyQuil daze.  Therefore, as you can imagine, our weekend plan is to get healthy with lots of rest and Netflix. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites.  

Favorite Quote: Kindness is like Sugar, it makes life taste a little sweeter...

Favorite Collection: Brooch collection via Miss Imogen Smith. I was given a few brooches, and I want to start collecting them for Luna and I. This is also a beautiful collection. 

Favorite to Wear: A pink cozy sweater would be a pretty on those rainy dreary days when you have to shake of the blah's. 

Favorite Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury KISSING Lipstick.  I am a red lip girl all the way, but on days when I am casually out with my daughter a nice pink shade wins. 

Favorite Drink: Atole de Fresa (Spanish recipe). This warm sweet strawberry atole (English recipe) reminds me of my mom, and its definitely a holiday treat. 

Favorite Decor: Three Piece Copper Candlestick Set is beautiful.  Lighting candles at the dinner table (even while our Luna is asleep) makes our in-home date nights that much more special. 

Sick days are a viable excuse to watch movies more than usual, and PG dance movies are the way to go (much better than watching Super Why or Tinkerbell). Our movie of choice has been Footloose...come on you know you like it! And proof that Luna loves it too!

Thank goodness for the short week because I am still suffering from post vacation blues which makes me realize we really need to go on vacation more often. Hopefully my husband is taking note because vacation is my new best friend. 

For now, I will enjoy all the mini-vacations aka weekends. This weekend I am looking forward to celebrating my father-in-law's birthday with family and delicious food. I will worry about working it off at the gym come Monday. 

Here are my Friday Favorites and today's song is a September anthem.

Favorite Poem: I will never be a morning person, for the moon and I, are much too in love.-Christopher Poindexter. I am definitely not a morning person, and I am in love with a little moon named Luna. 

Favorite Fall Mani: Burgundy Half-Moon manicure. This mani in Vamp is calling my name.

Favorite Boots: Steve Madden Fringe Boots. I recently found these at TJ Maxx and you all said definitely yes which is a good thing because they were already in my cart. I also read on Cup of Jo fringe is in for the Fall so I am ahead of the game!

Favorite Dress: Plaid Dress from the Loft. I am usually not big on plaid, but this dress looks super versatile for the fall. 

Favorite Drink: Pinot Noir gets all my love. Check out Sunset Magazine's top picks, and guzzle up the last of your Rosé because summer is coming to an end.

Favorite Fall Accessory: Scarves are coming back in our lives soon! I recently spied a scarf exchange party on Mix and Match Mama's Instagram, and I think we missed out on the fun! What a great idea right?!

I hope you have a great weekend! Now get up and dance...

Happy Friday! It feels so good when I have a productive week. I got in all my workouts, Luna and I had a fun playdate, and last night we decided to pretend it was Friday which means I got a day off from cooking and we watched TV (not to mention...we had a little Sangria too). It was so so nice!

We plan on continuing our exploration of our local parks, family time and mostly just enjoy a relaxing weekend. 

Here are my Favorites this week, and a little Ain't No Mountain High Enough. 

Favorite Quote: Life Whispers...Listen Closely. I heard this awhile ago, and it recently came back to me.  Many times in life we miss the signs of what's to come and this is a great reminder to listen. 

Favorite Vacation Inspo: Newport Oregon is calling my name.  We have yet to put out feet in the ocean this summer, and I am counting down the days to our vacation. 

Favorite Dress: Reformation-Naveen dress. This dress is perfect to transition into fall.

Favorite Toddler Book: Oh No! Grumpy Monster is coming for tea. Luna has the Under the Sea magnetic story book by the same author, and it keeps her entertained! 

Favorite Seasonal Decor: Fall mantel. I cannot wait to put out our Fall decorations. Fall/Autumn are you here yet?!

Favorite Drink: Summer Fruit Sangria. Summer isn't over yet, and this sangria includes wine, mango & mint--count me in! 

What are your weekend plans...anything fun? No matter what they are, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Mother's Day weekend!

I am super excited about the weekend, and I am ready to celebrate being a Mom. Tonight as you know is my cooking day off, therefore, my husband is making us breakfast for dinner. Yum! Tomorrow night...wait for it...we have a BABYSITTER! Yes you read right. My brother-in-law is coming up to watch our television and watch Luna on the monitor while we go out to dinner and a movie. Life is good. 

As for Sunday, I simply want to lay around and do nothing.  Breakfast in bed sounds pretty nice!

I think Mother's Day should be renamed to this:

Now that I've put that out there, lets get to this week's favorites:

Favorite Street Style: Boyfriend Style. I know gingham is back this Spring, but I prefer stripes, and this woman looks hot!  

Favorite Quote: I am unable to quit, as I am currently too legit.  This quote makes me feel fierce, and I want You to feel it too!

Favorite Drink: Kalimotxo (Red Wine + Coke) via Spoon Fork Bacon. I have yet to try it, but something about it is calling my name.  What do you think? Would you try it?

Favorite Home Decor: Turkish Towels. The one below is from The Anatolian Etsy shop. I recently purchased my first Turkish towels at our local farmers market, and they are beautiful. They can be used as traditional towels, and also for decor like this and this. . 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
