Friday Favorites

Hello Friends,

This is just a quick round up of things that are my wishlist as I’ve been browsing online. Happy Friday!

One.

The first one is just a cozy Jcrew sweater from their Spring line in just a cheerful color. I also like the green option they have.

Two.

These earrings are gorgeous in person. I’m not sure how comfortable they would be as they are rather large, but I’m debating these as I think they would look gorgeous with a simple black dress.

Three.

Classic everyday piece that would look great with a work appropriate WBD or a breezy striped shirt for summer.

Four.

This camel color I think works with everything, dressy black pants, comfy blue jeans on a casual Friday, or to dress up a pair of shorts.

Five.

I could see myself cozying up with this on a long flight. Looks soft and easy to pair with many shirts and sweaters. Is a great mix and match piece to throw into your suitcase for a chilly evening.

Six.

I love the scalloping edging on this. Would look great with a simple skirt or a nice summery dress. The red color is out but they still have a few choices left.

Seven.

I’ve been drawing to larger watches lately, and I like the shape of this.

Have any fun weekend plans? Like any of the above items? Let me know!

Bucket Bags

Bucket Bags
I know it’s a few weeks after, but I was looking at some photos from NYFW and I saw so many bucket bags. It’s clear they are a style that has been around for a while, so it might be time to invest in one.
I tend to go for a unique style purse in a color I know I will use. I tend to wear a lot of white, navy and black, and prefer my purses in camel, navy or black. Some of the above ones are just too cute for me to pass over, but would be a seasonal purse, (like the mint and rose would be great for spring/summer)

Back to School Shopping

This post is pre-scheduled due to how crazy I know the first week or so of high school is. #teacherlife It’s so weird to write these words, but it’s always a sad moment the day or two before starting work … Continue reading

Brunch Parties

IMG_0115

There are only a few people in my life, that are true hostess’s. Meaning, they love the cooking, the prep, the stress and the fun of throwing a really, really, good party. My good friend A, is one of those people. Last weekend, she had an intimate brunch with just a few of us. It was a posh brunch, so I enjoyed the chance to go all out!

I loved all the decor, from the handwritten AND watercolored menu’s and food labels to the bouquets of flowers lining the table to the mimosa bar! I feel like it’s only in the last two years that a few of us have really matured in adults who throw fabulous dinner parties, and in this case, a fabulous brunch.

A is a devoted chef, and the food was the highlight of the morning next to the mimosa bar! My personal favorite was the fig and pistachio tart (pictured below!), but really everything was delicious.

And finally, the people are what make the event fun. A has a great group of friends, and that helps!

I think I might steal a few of her ideas and host my own fun brunch over the summer. What do you think of hosting friends for brunch? Any must have brunch food ideas?

Love,
