Friday Favorites | The one before Christmas


Happy Christmas eve eve friends! It has felt like the longest week, but that’s always the case when you’re looking forward to something! I’m not taking any time off from work for the holiday so it’s going to be a welcome three-day weekend over here!! I thought I’d share a few favorites from the week since I haven’t done that in what feels like ages!!

Favorite New (to me) Blogger & YouTuber ||

Randomly Monday night I was watching YouTube videos and stumbled upon Lydia Elise Millen’schannel – what followed was a solid two hour marathon of watching! I’ve become a fan over night and just love her style, her familiarity & honestly the accent is just amazing! She just got engaged (as in a few days ago) so you know I’m beyond excited to start following along with that! 




Favorite New Bag ||




Last week I mentioned this bag (also comes in black which is the color I got) in my holiday outfit post AND I had a credit to Nordstrom so I decided to get it!! If it’s possible to be in serious “like” with a bag, then I totally am! Even though it looks a bit small, you can get away with stocking it full of items, but not over stuffing it! My iPad, full size wallet, a few makeup items, brush & mini planner all fit comfortably! I’m planning on doing an updated what’s in my bag post at the start of the year – even though I basically just did, but it was a solid purchase to round out the year! Get ready to see a lot of it! 



Favorite Songs ||




Still going strong with iTunes Radio and here are a few of my current favorites




Taped Up Heart – Kream feat. Clara Mae


Chase You Down – Runaground


Haunting – Halsey



Favorite Show ||


I’m a little ashamed to admit that Gary and I binged on Schitt’s Creek on Amazon this past weekend! If you’re a fan of the arrested development humor, then this is even better than that! I didn’t realize that it originally aired on CBS, but you can catch up on Amazon (for free if you’re a Prime member) with the first and second season! The new season starts on January 10th & I can’t even wait! The quick humor and funny banter does not disappoint! 














The weekending link-up will be live on Monday for those of you interested in posting…I will be taking an extra day off! I’ll see you back here Tuesday and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
