Hey friends! It’s already Friday? Wait, what? My week went by at warped speed. How about yours? I’m still in disbelief that we are actually in November. NOVEMBER! Thanksgiving is early this year and I already feel like it’s right upon us. I think it’s good when it’s early though because it gives us a little more time between it and Christmas to prepare and enjoy.
A friend had this on Facebook and I thought it was funny. What a difference a minute can make. HA!
It took me long enough to get on board, but after 3 times of using my Instant Pot I’m a convert. I still need to figure out all the bells and whistles (and buttons?), but I want to find more ways to use it.
You wouldn’t believe I rarely wore jewelry even as recently as 5 years ago, but it’s true. Now I feel as naked without my jewelry on as I do without my clothes. Accessories are a real game changer for outfits and once you start wearing them, I don’t think you can stop. Even if I’m just at home you’ll find me with some of my jewelry on. My friends and family know me well and helped me up the ante in the Kendra Scott department.
Trader Joe’s strikes again. I’ve been drinking this Harvest Blend Herbal Tea, it’s like fall in a cup. Most teas have a really subtle taste and are more like lightly flavored warm water in my book, but this tea has some serious flavor with cinnamon being the headliner. I think it would be great to use in apple cider as a substitute for mulling spices.
Where to begin with this? I shared it on Instagram this week. It has so many things I’m currently loving. The striped tee is buttery soft and just the right amount of stretch and absolutely perfect for layering. The back has an unexpected twist of stripes in two directions, super cute and my new bralette is perfect since the top is a little low-cut for me. Not only does it help in the modesty department, it adds a cute detail and let me just say the comfort factor is in-credible. It’s so comfortable you could easily sleep in it and it comes in at least 25 colors.
How many times can I say I LOVE these shoes? Seriously, I wear them so much in the spring and fall. They feel more like slippers and are great for wearing for extended periods of time.
Have a wonderful weekend friends! We are going to a silent auction/fundraiser Saturday night and then I guess we’ll see what else we get into this weekend.

LOVE your leopard graphic -that's my favorite! I am considering an Instant Pot and then I saw the food ninja thing on an infomercial and now I'm all kinds of confused! I'll probably end up with nothing but you know me, I see it a few times and I must have it! Ha!
Happy weekend friend!
xo,

Thanks girlie! Decided I needed to shake it up. Hmmm, I must not have seen the food ninja thing, but all the popular kids are getting Instant Pots. LOL What a goofus I am. Love ya! XO
Me too...leopard graphic LOVE!!! I would keep that on the regular for favorites! Dang it all, I was at TJ's yesterday and did not even think to get tea and I love tea! Hope your weekend is fabulous, sweet, fun and all the good things in life sweet friend! xo
Thanks friend. Sometimes you just gotta update things and when is leopard not the answer. LOL Hope your week is off to a great start! XO
I love sipping a warm drink as the temperatures fall and surprisingly I've switched to drinking more herbal tea than coffee. I will have to go check out the Harvest Blend from Trader Joe's !
I know you do Tammy. Every time I’m in TJM or Marshalls and see Pumpkin Spice coffee I think of you! XO
My bralette came in yesterday and I love it! Have a great weekend Beautiful! Miss seeing your smiling face in real time! So thankful you introduced us all to Marco Polo!
I want every single color. They are so comfortable it’s crazy. I miss you too sweet friend. Marco Polo is the bomb for us girls. XO
I still need to get this bralette. Seriously. What's my deal. I like your Kendra Scott collection and you're right about the time change. Great Friday favorites and as always great graphics by such an adorable friend!
What a funny coincidence - we are also going to a silent auction/fundraiser on Saturday! Tis the season! LOL! I hear you on feeling naked without jewelry! I'm exactly the same way. Even if I'm only staying home all day, I still need to wear a necklace and earrings. I just don't feel right without it! Love your cute look with the striped tee and leopard flats! :)

Well we didn’t win anything, but still managed to leave money there. LOL How’d you do? XO
Oh, yes! I agree with the Peanuts meme. Starbucks has their Xmas cups out today! Yikes! That tea sounds fab! I'll have to look for a clone as there aren't any Trader Joe's in my neck of the woods. Have a great weekend.
I got my red cup. Did you? Like I need another cup, but I just couldn’t resist! XO
Okay, soooooo clearly I need to get on the instant pot train, huh?! I really need to. I've been thinking about it for a while, and I have a feeling it's finally time haha I say this as I prepare to put a pot roast in the crockpot! Also, I'm going to buy that makeup from you this weekend! I'm the worst haha ;)
I just need to figure out more uses for mine. I think for families it’s really great and working moms who don’t want to deal with the slow cooker in the morning. You are not the worst. You are a busy mom. I’m here whenever you’re ready! XO
I need a new B&W stripe top like crazy so I think I'm going to try this one. And I've got to order some more bralettes...so many dang color choices always leave me all crazy! haha
You definitely should. The contrasting back is so cute. I want those barrettes in every color. I could wear them everyday in place of my regular bras. So comfy! XO
Love that tea! I'm looking forward to a longer Christmas season this year!
I know, right? I think it would be so good in hot cranberry juice. YUM!
