Friday Favorites Round Up


Happy Friday!! Just like that another work week is coming to a close and I’m ready for the weekend!! We have a few things planned, but I’m mostly excited to tackle cleaning out my closet and trying some new recipes!! But first, I’m linking up with Amanda and Christina for some favorites from the week! 



Favorite Song


I love every single Ellie Goulding song and I’m so happy that she’s on the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack! P.S. I ordered tickets so I’m going to see the movie next Thursday! 



Favorite Recipe

I’m always on the hunt for new ways to make chicken and this Baked Honey Garlic Chicken fits the bill…my mouth is already watering!! 



Favorite Purchase

I couldn’t pass up Ann Taylor’s sale this week and scored these jeans at 50% off!! I have to say they are the comfiest jeans, almost like leggings, but the material is thicker!! I also went ahead and treated myself to #1 from my Valentine’s Gift Guide!! 

Favorite Video

Jimmy Fallon absolutely killed it this week on his show!! Between the Super Bowl and Saved By The Bell reunion it was hard to pick a favorite, but it ultimately was Will Ferrell’s interpretation of Drunk In Love that had me laughing all week long! 

Favorite Links

+  Find out how to get noticed at work for all good things

+ This swoon worthy Newport, RI wedding from SMP…also has my favorite chocolate as escort cards

+ I have the hardest time styling shelves -but not anymore with these tips

+ Ryan Reynolds being so funny and candidabout life with a little one – the video is funny!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

    WOOHOO, Friday!!! Love those jeans, lady! The cut looks super flattering and I love the wash, too!

    I watched the lip sync video and about died. Roar and Frozen where my favorite, but they were all amazing. I love comedians, my abs ache just thinking about that video, haha.

    Oh Ryan Reynolds, he's just amazing right. How interesting that everyone thought they named their daughter Violet, but that's fake. Do you think they went conventional or really random?

    Have a fabulous weekend lady, love ya!

    Jimmy Fallon has been even more amazing than usual this week–I definitely have one of his skits as one of my favorites. Great minds think alike! πŸ˜‰
    I love Loft jeans….I have so many from there that are super comfortable and they fit so well! Glad you found a magic pair, too πŸ™‚
    Hope you have a good weekend girly!

    So happy that the weekend is here. That lip sync battle was epic, but my favorite was Jimmy and Drew Barrymore. I don't think Kevin Hart brought his A game for that skit. I kept waiting for something funny to happen on his second song. P.S. I'm going to start carrying glitter in my pocket like Will Ferrell.

    My mouth is totally watering with that chicken also – I can't believe it's baked.. definitely pinning that one for future use! And those jeans look great. I've not yet tried jeans from AT, but I do love their other stuff, plus who can resist 50% off?! Have a great weekend!

    That Ellie Goulding song has been on repeat in my house all week long! I seriously can't get it out of my head. Not going to lie, also pretty jealous you're seeing the movie next week. πŸ™‚ Will Ferrel's lip sync battle was on another level of funny this week. Hope you have a great weekend, girl!

    oooh those jeans are fabulous. i have never ordered anything from ann taylor, is their sizing pretty normal / similar to loft?
    love that ellie goulding song, i haven't read 50 shades but i kinda want to see the movie just to see, so you'll have to let us know how it is!

    I saw a clip on E! of Ryan Reynolds talking about his baby and it was too cute and funny! I just want to know the name! Gah! haha. I haven't read 50 shades, but I kinda want to see the movie (and also a little scared to watch it at the same time lol!). Let us know how it is! Have a good weekend girl and good luck with the closet cleaning!

    I must be the only woman in the world who is not really interested in 50 shades of grey. I don't know what it is, but its not my cup of tea. Anyway… I had to check out that Newport wedding of course. Gorgeous. Now I want to go back there! Haha. Have a great weekend lady!

    That lip synch battle was HILARIOUS! Jimmy Fallon nailed it! I just pinned that recipe and have to try it – it looks and sounds so yummy, thanks for sharing! I'm totally loving that new song! And, why won't Ryan and Blake just tell us what their baby's name is?!?!?!

    Oh my goodness I loved that lip sync video. Watching Will Ferrell watching Kevin Hart was just so funny. And I hadn't seen that Ryan Reynolds interview, I never knew he was so funny! I really am very curious what they ended up naming the kid though.
