Friday Favorites


I’m pretty pumped for this upcoming weekend more so than others because I have Monday off and I’m so looking forward to an extra day of relaxation!! I breezed through Gone Girl and seeing the movie is on my list this weekend along with apple picking and a drive to see the Fall foliage – pretty lofty goals so let’s see if it all gets done!! 

I’m linking up with Amanda and Christina to share some favorites with you!! 


Favorite Video

David Guetta feat. Sam Martin is hands down my favorite song right now. From the minute the song starts it just sucks you in!! If you have a chance to listen to it, I guarantee you’ll love it! 

Favorite Birthday

This past Wednesday my sweet and wonderful grandmother celebrated her 82nd birthday!! She raised two of the best men in the world and one of them happens to be my dad!! Both of my grandmother’s helped raise me when we first moved to America and my Baba Rosa actually lived with us for a little while, so she always loves to reminisce and I gladly listen to all her stories!! Wish I could have been there to celebrate, but I hear she had a pretty fantastic tea party!! 

Favorite Recipe 

Since I like to balance the clean eating with carb loading thisavocado & lentil salad totally negates eating this Broccoli & Sun-dried Tomato Pasta right?!

Favorite Look 

I had a really hard down narrowing down my favorite look of the week because both Katie Holmes and Chrissy Tiegen looked so amazing!! So I decided to go with both!

    Happy Friday! Congrats on finishing Gone Girl – sadly I still haven't started yet! Enjoy the movie (and the 3-day weekend!). And I'm obsessed with that bump imagine of Blake Lively – that seriously will be the most beautiful child ever! xoxo

    Can Katie Holmes stop looking so flawless? It's really making me want to step up my game… then I remember no one photographs me for a living and back to jeans and a t-shirt it is! šŸ˜‰ Your weekend sounds amazing. I am SO jealous you have Monday off. If you go see Gone Girl this weekend let me know how it is! Happy Friday doll!

    You have some fun plans for this weekend! And super exciting that you have an extra long weekend! Soak that up!
    All I can say to the recipes is yes, yes, YES!
    Loving the pumpkin ideas because I HATE carving pumpkins! We went to a pumpkin patch earlier this week so I'm excited (and nervous about the mess!) to paint them with Mia!

    I think that top that Katie Holmes is wearing is from the Elie Tahari line for Kohl's that's coming out soon! Her and Chrissy looked stunning this week. In other news, Blake Lively is probably the most gorgeous pregnant lady I've ever seen, and her announcement photo couldn't be more perfect. That is one lucky kid to get THOSE genes. Have a fabulous weekend, lady!

    That sound is pretty good! I may just have to download it! That pasta recipe sounds delicious too, love that combo! Your grandma is so cute too. I love listening to grandparents tell stories, its the best! I love Chrissy Tiegen's look, Katie's is cute too, but I like Chrissy's better. I hope that you get to go apple picking this weekend, and I miss the New England fall foliage! Have a fab weekend!!

    Your grandmom is adorable! I am totally with you on balancing the clean eating with carb loading lol!! I do not understand how people commit fully to clean eating. Although it is admirable I would die without mashed potatoes, cheese, pasta and cheesecake! I love Katie Holmes and Chrissy Teigen. I also adore Blake and Ryan. Their baby is going to be breathtakingly gorgeous! lol XO Have a great weekend. Hope your able to fit everything in!

    I am so jealous of your apple picking! I want to go so bad, but I'm pretty sure we would have to drive a ways to find an apple orchard!

    I LOVE that list about Jax, so cool! I knew some of them, but there were a lot I didn't know!

    I just started reading Gone Girl yesterday, because of you might I add. It's definitely going to be a quick read. A very happy birthday to your grandmother! And I can't decide between Katie and Chrissy's looks either. They're both perfect. Have a wonderful weekend!

    Love the Givenchy boots on Ms. Tiegen – swoon! Question: where did you immigrate from? If I had to guess it would be somewhere in Eastern Europe based on "Baba" which is Yiddish right? I'm always fascinated by peoples stories of moving to the US šŸ™‚
