Friday Favorites

Yippee Skippy, it's Friday!!  Allllll of the praise hands for this.  For real.  This week kicked my behind, so this weekend is very much welcomed with open arms!

Any who, it's time for another edition of Friday Favorites and it's shaping up to be a pretty good one, if I do say so myself! ;)

Let's get started, shall we??

It is T-minus one week until we leave on our cruise, so that's got my mind thinking about all things warm and tropical...more importantly what I am packing in my bag, or hoping to pack in my bag before next Friday morning!

First up, this top.  I am head over heels in love with this.  I mean, how adorable would this be dressed up, paired with some white skinnies and a cute pair of wedges?   Or you could dress it down and pair it with some high waisted destructed jean shorts and flip flops...It is so versatile, and the details on it are beyond adorable.  I will be needing this.

Speaking of high waisted destructed jean shorts, I've had my eye on these bad boys, and they may be on their way to me as we speak...I just think that they will be on repeat all summer, paired with flip flops, converse, or even with some cute wedges if I want to dress them up a bit.  But imagine them with that cute top up there.  I mean adorbs, right??  Plus, they are high waisted, because #justsaynotocrack 

Now, if I could gut the price tag on this dress, it would totally be going in my bag with me...I just can't justify spending $240 on a casual dress.  But if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket from a birthday, or maybe you are one of the lucky few who hasn't spent all of their Christmas money yet, you need to get your hands on this!  If I could find a similar version under $50, I'm all over it!

So I don't know if you've realized this or not, but Valentine's Day is on Tuesday.  As in 4 days.  The fact that it falls on a weekday is a blessing and a curse.  It's a blessing because that means that I get to help with Madden's classroom Valentine's Party!  There is nothing quite like seeing little people all excited, passing out their "love cards" to each other.  It's a happy holiday that everyone can get on board with and celebrate something the world needs more of right now: L.O.V.E.  That said, this sweater is what I will be wearing during the party (And all day long)  It is even more adorable in person...I'm planning on pairing it with these destructed girlfriend jeans, and taupe booties.  It just screams Valentine's Day, am I right?

Now, the curse to Valentine's Day falling during the week, means that my hubby will be out of town for work again. :(  But, I still have two little dudes that call me their Valentine that will be home, so I am going to make them my dates for the night.  I am planning on picking up this heart shaped pizza, along with a heart shaped ice cream cake from DQ for dessert.  They will be in heaven.  Who are we kidding, I will be too! 

Last, but not least, I'm thinking these Valentine's Day inspired chocolate covered pretzels would be an amazingly easy, yet tasty treat that the boys and I could whip up together after school.  I may lose my mind with the mess they make, but I know they will love it.  #makingmemories 

Well, that's all I have time for today.  I'm wishing you all a fabulous weekend, where you get to do something you enjoy!

Until next time...
