Friday Favorites ~ 6.27.14

Happy Friday! It's been a long week and I've been looking forward to this weekend since...well last Sunday evening ;) 

Let's jump right into this week's Friday Favorites...


{1 music}

Anything by Ziggy Marley...
...who Aaron and I just happen to be going to see in concert tonight right after work! Super excited for this...it'll be a great time to just relax, have a couple drinks, and listen to great music :)

{2 drink}

I have re-discovered my love for tea this week...and gone through an entire box of Peppermint Herbal Tea. It is so delicious and perfect pick-me-up in the early morning right when I get to work (I am not a coffee drinker) ...and helps me relax in the evenings before bed. I'm going to have to go pick up some more this weekend! What types of tea do you ladies drink? Although I'm pretty obsessed with the peppermint right now, I'd love some other suggestions!

{3 purchase}

Since Christmas, I have been saving money every paycheck, like a good little girl ;) 
It was actually a New Year's resolution of mine to start to build up some sort of savings...but it's starting to burn a hole in my pocket. 

So what to buy?? Well, I'm desperate need of a new purse - since I haven't had a new one since Christmas of 2012! Sooo, I think I'm going to treat myself to one...but nothing too over the top though. 

I've had my eye on this Michael Kors Jet Set Tote for awhile now, and it's reasonably priced, so that might be the winner! What do you think? Any purses you have that are a great investment and classic pieces to own, but aren't going to break the bank??

{4 beauty}

I am in the market for a new foundation and concealer...and possibly new mascara too. I've been a loyal user of Revlon's Color Stay liquid foundation for the past 4 years and I'm getting tired of it. Just want to mix it up and try something new. 

I like med/full coverage, build-able, liquid foundation and liquid concealer with a brightening effect (for those pesky dark under eyes).

I am really interested in the new Bare Minerals and have heard from a couple people that it's pretty great, has anyone tried it??


As for mascara...I've used L'oreal Carbon Black for as long as I can remember. It's great, but again, I'd like to try something new. I always end up coming back to it though, so maybe I should just stick with it ;) 

What are your foundation, mascara, and concealer suggestions??

{5 funnies}

And of course...have to wrap it up with this week's favorite funnies :)

#bigboobproblems 
The struggle is real.

 
While some girls count calories, I'm over here like...

Deedee to a T...except not with cheese, but when I have corn, peanut butter, or apples...

christmas wish list.

Gone awhile, life happens...but I'm back!

With the holidays approaching, I have been starting to compile my wish list of items of which I am lusting after.

It's a work in progress.

Givenchy Ange ou Démon (eau de parfum)

Although I will always stay faithful to my classic scents (Flowerbomb and Chanel Chance eau Fraiche) I am yearning for something new to add to the mix. Fell in love with this when visiting my big sister in Akron and rummaging through her vanity.

Michael Kors Grayson Logo Satchel

I adore my Michael Kors Hamilton Tote (in vanilla) --holiday gift from my love last Christmas-- and I am thinking about saving up for this brown monogram satchel. I have always been drawn to this style (reminds me of a Louis Vuitton Speedy) and I will happily purchase another Michael Kors handbag since I have been so happy with my Hamilton...added bonus: everything he designs is beautiful and classic.

Hunter Rain boots (Original Tall in black)

I live in Ohio...and the weather sucks. I need a practical way of keeping my feet dry and warm (we all know the Uggs just don't cut it) while also remaining stylish. I think I found the solution...Scottish wellies made fashionable by the likes of Ashley Olsen and Kate Moss.
