Happy Friday! 

We are off to visit my grandparents in South Carolina for a few days.  I am so looking forward to the cold weather and wearing some layers for once!  I recently got a new lap top which makes me feel so much better about being away.  Having a reliable computer so I can still get some work done on trips relieves tons of my stress, especially around this time of year. While I totally enjoy unplugging every once in awhile, I like to stay productive and check in during down time on vacation.  Hope you have a lovely weekend and are getting prepared for Thanksgiving (already!) next week.  

Starting next week through the holidays I am going to be turning these Friday Favorites posts into gift guides.  Stay Tuned! But first... some loves, wants, and needs from this week... 

*Quartz collar necklace

*Lavander, thyme, and white chocolate scones, amazing.

*Brass initial door knockers

*Inspired by the cut and texture of this Valentino dress

*Painted antler ornaments

*Just a really pretty holiday pin

*This Free People tunic 

*Stunning, inspiring photo of Jennifer Lawrence 

*A beautiful wedding color palette 

*This adorable boho cottage is everything 

XOXO

HAPPY HALLOWEEN + SOME LINKS

Halloween weekend is here, yay! 

Do you still dress up? 

It's my favorite. Hunter is always a good sport and will dress up with me, so that makes it more fun! His parents started having an annual party a few years back, so looking forward to that.  It is also the weekend we met four years ago! Man time flies. We will be celebrating at our favorite restaurant tonight.

HAPPY FRIDAY + SOME LINKS

As of late, the end of the week comes and I'm like 'how is it already Friday?!'  I have to say, I am a little sad to come to the end of August. Where did summer go? My happiness resides in the fact that fall is a wonderful and exciting time of year (to clarify; I do not like summer, the Florida heat and humidity is a little much for me. ha. So I'm not sad to see that wind down, just incredibly baffled how this year is flying)  I feel like once September hits and the excitement of the holidays just makes it even more non-stop.  

Ok, enough rambling and on to some of my favorites from the week:

*This wall for a walk in closet, so fun

*Flowy caftan dresses are my favorite, I love these from Free People, pink and blue

*This post about letting your partner dress you made me laugh and of course I had to experiment (out of curiosity) on Hunter. ha

*This sneak peek of Asos Christmas has me pretty excited

*Cozy fall feelings 

*I have this bag from Free People and it's been amazing to hold all my junk and I often use the clutch for nights out, obsessed with this new color 

*Rose Gold strappy sandals by Ted Baker

*Another interesting read on Man Repeller, are illustrators the new fashion bloggers?

*This office is lovely

Savor your weekend, ok? I hope it's a great one!
