Happy Friday friends!! A few people have asked how Jury Duty went and would you believe – I was actually chosen to serve on a jury that same day. Thankfully the trial was only a few hours long and we all came to a verdict unanimously. It was such a cool experience and I honestly felt because of my background I wouldn’t get chosen, but wouldn’t you know I was the only one they didn’t have any questions for! Anyway…here’s a look at some of my favorite things this week!
Favorite Blogger Lunch
Favorite Blogger Lunch
Carly from Carly Blogs Here was in Boston this week and she braved pretty much all of the elements while she explored this week! She met me for lunch on Thursday at one of my favorite lunch spots near work – Pasta Beach and it was so nice to get to meet her and chat about life!! Exactly how you would imagine her to be!
Favorite Workout
Favorite Workout
We all know I’m a huge fan of the TIU workouts and this one is no exception. It’s a high intensity boxing workout and let’s just say I was huffing and puffing as if I don’t do any cardio at all! Worth the 11 minutes and then follow it up with their burn it up video which is 13 minutes!
Favorite Sale
Favorite Sale
Better Than Sex Mascara // Too Faced Bronzer // Clinique Lash Primer
Seems like the first few weeks of April every store is clamoring to get our business…well Sephora is no exception since starting today VIB members get 15% off their purchases! I’m using this as a chance to restock some of my favorites including Clinique’s eye lash primer & Better than Sex Mascara – the two together give me the look of false lashes! I’m almost out of my current bronzer (sharing all my favorite makeup items in a post next week) and picking this favorite from the past back up!
Favorite Trench Coat
Favorite Trench Coat
Having dealt with rain for the last few days, I’ve realized how much I need a classic trench – but with a twist!! I am in love with blush and really think the color will be classic enough to stay current for years to come. I’ve got my eyes on this hooded one from Guess – currently on sale!

//Are sushi burgers something you could get behind? You know I’d say YES!!
Hope you all have an amazing weekend!! See you back here Monday for Weekending!

So glad your lunch with Carly went so well! It's always so nice when you meet for the first time in real life and it's like you've been friends forever! I'm headed to Sephora tomorrow to get a couple of things, so I hope the sale is still going on…I must have deleted that email without reading it! Happy Friday!

Love jury duty too.. I've only done it once but it's really an interesting experience. Saw Carly in all Boston elements on her snaps.. Like a true Bostonian! Haha.. Love the trench! Xo
That's so awesome you had a great jury duty experience! The trench is awesome – I love that it actually has a hood on it, too. We've been having some rain lately and that would be absolutely perfect to have! I need to remember Tone It Up work outs – perfect when I don't want to head to the gym!
That coat is so cute! My husband has been asked for jury duty 4 or 5 times over the years and I have never been asked! Super weird, but I think it would be a neat experience π Have a great weekend!!
You and Carly are so cute!!! Love that you guys were able to get together for a blate! That pink trench is everything–absolutely love it!
that's so fun you got to meet her!!! i love the trench. i have already done some damage on the sephora vib rouge sale! my wallet is ssaying no, but my eyes are saying yes!! have a great weekend!!
You have reminded me of so many things!! The Sephora sale and that I need a cute trench too!! I love that pink one from Guess!! So fun to meet other sweet bloggers! So glad the jury experience went ok!!…and is over, lol!! It would be fun for a but but terrible to be sequestered for weeks!! Have a fabulous weekend gorgeous!!
I have GOT to take advantage of the sephora sale!!!! Need to try that awesome workout!!
How great that you were chosen for the jury!! And that it didn't go on forever lol. I would love to experience that! Have a great weekend Biana!

I'm glad your jury duty experience was a positive one, and that you were able to get in and out the same day! I'm so excited about the VIB sale, and I can't wait to pick up some goodies for 15% off! Have a great weekend!

Whattt I want to try that sushi burger! That Too Faced mascara is my all time fave!
Is it dorky that I've always wanted to do jury duty?! I guess it's the Political Science major in me! I cannot WAIT for the Sephora sale–I LOVE that Too Faced mascara! Happy Friday girl!

Yippe on meeting Carly – she just seems so adorable.
Thumbs up for serving on a jury.
I have to go save that workout to my workout folder … I am ALL about kickboxing!
Yay for a fun blogger lunch with Carly! And I could use that trench today – headed to a garden party but it's chilly and drizzling… that one would be perfect! Happy Weekend!

Such good google tips! Especially the grammarly one- we could all use that sometimes! Happy Friday!
Aw yay for getting to meet Carly! So fun! Your lunch looked ridiculous! Why are all the sales happening when I'm on a no spending month?! And love that trench! SO perfect! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
So fun that you girls had a blate… I wish I could meet everyone IRL someday! Hope you have a great weekend friend!
I am in love with all of those block heeled sandals! And the Google life hacks were awesome… didn't know any of them. Have a great weekend!
Congrats on being selected for a jury – its like my DREAM. As a law student (actually, lawyer in 32 days- eeeek), I will probably never be selected. But I am taking a class on how to select juries right now! Have a great weekend – x0x0, Hannah
I'm glad that jury duty went well for you and that it was quick!! π I love that trench and I think that one would be so cute on you! I have been wearing mine like crazy because of the weather here and it is a lifesaver. So fun that you had a blogger lunch date too. I am going to try that mascara with that primer sometime and see how it is. I just bought my second tube of the NARS mascara though so it will be a while until my next one haha. Have a great day today and a fab weekend!! π
I can't believe you got picked! Glad it was a short trial!
Have a great weekend!

I need a sushi burger in my life now and yeah to blogger meet ups so fun!
So cool you got to meet Carly, she's such a sweetheart. And LOVE that trench, I have one very similar my grandmother bought me a few years ago.
Jealous of jury duty! SO jealous.
How cool that you actually got chosen, I am so intrigued by all of that, that I would have loved it. LOL! I actually thought about becoming a criminal scene investigator…but then I thought I wouldn't be able to deal with all of the craziness! I have a couple of Sephora gift cards that are burning a whole in my pocket..can't wait to use them!
Hope you have a great weekend! Checking out Carly's blog now! Glad y'all had a great meet-up!

You should have said you went to the Elle Woods school of law!! π I'll be using my Sephora coupon this weekend too (finally decided on perfume!). I use the too faced "beach bunny" bronzer and really am loving it! Chat soon! Make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture
I am obsessing over block heels! They are so fab for this season! I am also in love with that trench so chic and so fabulous! I am in love with the concept of a sushi burger!

Sushi burgers?! Yum!!! How fun you got a blate!!! No one ever comes to Birmingham to visit, boooo!!! Sounds like you had a good jury duty experience! I need to get on the Sephora sale, I need foundation! Hope you have a great weekend!
I love that mascara, it really does extend the lashes! I have to get another, it's been so long since I've used it! That's wonderful that you both were able to meet up and grab some lunch, it's always great when you get to connect in person with people you already feel like you know online! I love trench coats and this one is super pretty, the colors is so lovely and would look great on you! I'm also swooning over those studded sandals, so pretty! thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have the best weekend ahead!

Such a wonderful roundup, as always, Biana! How awesome that you and Carly were able to meet over lunch! Isn't it great when you're able to meet those you feel like you know for so long online in person?! I know lunch was awesome because you're my go-to foodie! I need to repurchase that Better Than Sex mascara, I forgot how amazing it is and how much I loved it! I'm also loving the trench coat you shared here, you should definitely get it, it'll look so pretty on you! Those studded sandals are also really pretty, I'm loving that chunky heel! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have the best weekend!

I'm heading to Sephora this afternoon after the Villanova parade!
I'm glad you got picked. I never do! If I'm going to be there, I might as well do it, that's how I feel anyway.
Have a great weekend!
Meeting blogging friends in person is the best.
Sounds like jury duty was a success for you. You make it sound so fun when others seem to loathe it.
Aww that's so awesome you got had a blogger lunch!! I just love LOVE that trench coat! I don't own one personally so I'm keeping my eye on this one! Thanks for the heads up on the Sephora sale!! =)
Have a great weekend!! Melanie | Blog: Toots + Dill
That blush trench coat is AH-mazing. I've been wearing out my new pair of blush pants and now I want everything in that color!
And yay for meeting blogging friends in real life! I totally wish I could head to a blogging conf sometime to meet some of you lovely ladies! That would be so fun!
Have a great weekend!
I'm glad you enjoyed jury duty. I'm sure I'd like it if I ever did it, as long as it didn't turn into a week long event! A friend of mine had to do that. Ha. Sephora and Ulta are both on my list of places to go this weekend. Enjoy your Friday! -xx Leah || Chasing Texas
Okay I have to get this too faced mascara now, everyone is talking about it! Have a great weekend!
Glad jury duty went well!! Soooo in love with that trench and just by the pic of those block heels I need to check out that link! Have a good weekend!

What a fun blog date! I am so jealous! I hope you ladies had fun! I am also SUPER jealous that you got picked for jury duty! I wish I could apply instead of waiting for them to select me, lol!
Love your shirt for your blogger lunch! Love that blush coat! I really love blush too, though I'm not sure I could pull it off since I'm so pale! Haha.
Love that you and Carly were able to get together, so fun! And I'm about to do some damage at the Sephora sale tomorrow – will definitely be picking up that Too Faced mascara because I am newly obsessed! Happy Friday!
How awesome that you got to meet up for a blogger lunch, the weather has just been so nutty everywhere I can't stand it! I am hitting up Sephora tonight and am so excited…hopefully I don't spend my entire check there! Also loving that trench! Happy Friday!
The Google hacks article is everything! I already just added so many things!! Hope you have a great weekend love! xo
That's so funny about jury duty! Glad it went well though and wasn't too time consuming. Thanks for sharing the workout video. I'll have to try it next week.
My sister was selected to be on a jury, and she talked about how interesting it was too. Thankfully yours was only a day, right? Hooray for blates! There's just something so awesome about meeting somebody in person for the first time that you already feel like you know. It's the most wonderful time of the year, the Sephora sale! I can't wait to hear about your other makeup favorites, I've gotten a few of your suggestions and loved them!
I need that trench coat in my life. I only have fleeces, or winter coats. I need a good "light" jacket! So stinkin cute! Isn't meeting other bloggers the best? I'm glad you two got to meet up! π
Have fun this weekend!!
That trench!!! Oh my goodness it is perfect. Have such a great weekend!!
Love that trench!! So classic, but unique with the pink and details, too. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
That pink trench is adorable!! I have a link open to click over and look at it in a minute! I bought a nearly identical trench (except in a nude color) about four years ago, and I still wear it constantly. I love outerwear that's classic and lasts for years!
Wow, your blog is amazing! I love it! xx
Would you like to follow each other? If yes, please follow me on the both of my blogs and let me know in the comments of my newest posts so I can follow you ASAP.
Have a great weekend!

That boxing workout is exhausting just looking at it. I am probably in a yoga mood right now, but looks good for a good sweat. I definitely need to use my Sephora coupon soon! I also love the Better Than Sex Mascara and could always restock on my NARS foundation.
Yay for blog meetups! Also love your trench coat!
Love that workout!! Super fun! xo

So glad that you and Carly were able to meet and have lunch! Off to check out that Google hacks article – happy Sunday!
Having a blogger date is so fun! That pink trench coat is darling!
That trench is so cute– go for one with a hood! haha I had SO much fun at lunch and am so thankful we were able to meet up! Hopefully we'll be able to meet up again sometime soon! I'm definitely intrigued by that mascara- it sounds amazing!
Yeaaay to blogger meet-ups, block heels and of course sushi burgers – I am behind them, too. I always wanted to be part of a jury as a member, if they ever call me. My dad has been called like three times and my mom once.
oooh that trench is so pretty! and i love the better than sex mascara, it's my favourite right now. so cool you got to meet Carly, she's the best. and jury duty really does sound so cool!
Love that trench! What a fun blate! And so jealous of jury duty! P.S. are you doing TIU's Bikini Series? SO good! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
