Friday Favorites




They are promising a really cold weekend here in Boston so I found the photo below to be very appropriate!! I’m really excited to get this weekend started a day earlier because I’m off today!! πŸ™‚ I’m linking up with Amanda and Christina today for some favorites!! 


Favorite Song – Take Me To Church


So this song is everywhere right now, but apparently was released back in 2013…it’s amazing, but my favorites are the covers. Ed Sheeran does a really impressive one and of course if you watch The Voice then you heard Matt McAndrew preform it









Favorite Recipe – Baked Mozzarella Chicken Rolls


I have pinned a ton of recipes this week for Thanksgiving, but this one has nothing to do with that, but looks so incredibly delicious!! Baked Mozzarella Chicken Rolls – I’m drooling thinking about it! 





Favorite Purchase – Ann Taylor


It might be boring to some, but I really needed new black pants for work and when a friend of mine found these at Ann Taylor and they were having an extra 60% off sale items, it was a no-brainer!! It even has the leather detail that I’ve been loving! 



Favorite Look


I saw this wrap coat on ChicWish  a few months back and haven’t been able to get my mind off of it!! I was perusing Krystin’s blogand she styled it so perfectly!! 





Favorite Links


+ I can use all the help I can get with these photography tips


+This guy went to a Barre class and his recount of the workout is all sorts of hilarious!! 


+ A flawless rendition of “baby it’s cold outside” featuring two of the cutest kids


+ This super cute Kate Spade inspiredwedding 



BONUS: Favorite Giveaway


Thank you to those of you who entered my one year blogging anniversary giveaway!! The winner is Meghan from Champagne and Suburbs and I’ll be contacting you about where you want to spend it!!




Hope you all have a wonderful and warm weekend!! See you Monday for some Weekending fun!!

    I'm still not sold on that song. I go through moments where I love it then I hate it. I'll have to listen to Ed's cover. Love that wrap jacket. I want one so bad! Happy Friday!

    Super jealous of your long weekend, enjoy! And I saw that guy's recount of going to Barre and thought it was hilarious! My husband thinks the same thing, "Barre3 can't be that bad! Isn't it just like ballet?" Ha! I have to drag him to a class too now. I have a feeling he'd have the same reaction and then will understand how hard we work in those classes.

    Happy Friday gurlie πŸ™‚

    I am LOVING that Take Me To Church song…something about it is just awesome. Also loving all the looks (and purchases) you've got on here. I made some backed chicken parm this week (with a quinoa breading which was interesting) so we're on the same kinda recipe wave length this week haha. Have a great weekend girl!!

Just snuggle with Gary and you'll be warm hehe. Love your new black pants, my black pants are from LOFT and they're great. That recipe sounds delicious too!! Thanks for sharing.

    Biana, I almost had that Hozier song as my fave this week too! I hear it all the time, but I haven't gotten sick of it yet.
    Thanks so much for posting the Ed Sheeran link though – he is one of my favorite singers (one of the only physical cd's I have bought in years!) I love the cover he does of this one.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I hate cold weather (even though I grew up with it), and I always wonder how I would survive if I moved somewhere really cold in the winters again. I didn't know that song was released in 2013! I literally spent two hours scouring stores for black pants like that. Why didn't I read this sooner! That outfit is everything, but I would probably look like an asshole in that hat! But it is super cute!

    Ooh that first picture looks so cozy!! We're having our first bit of cold weather in Halifax so I pulled out the big wool socks the other day.
