Friday Favorites

I have been swooning over this beauty all week!  I am always a huge fan of leopard and I always love a beautiful coat so it's really no surprise that I want need this for my winter wardrobe.  I've already decided that this coat is number one on my Christmas list to Santa!

Favorite Dog Treats Nutro Crunchy Treats in Mixed Berries and Peanut Butter
Ok so this might seem kind of odd favorite, but most of you know that I recently adopted a puppy!  I also know that a lot of you are dog lovers too so I wanted to share these treats with you which are both healthy and doggie approved.  Lucy absolutely loves these and I don't feel guilty spoiling her with them since they have healthy all natural ingredients and don't irritate her (sometimes sensitive) stomach.  They also smell amazing so I know why she loves them so much!
Favorite Hairstyle Low Ponytail with Ribbon Bow
For weeks now I've been pinning tons of low ponytails that are tied with ribbon bows.  I think the look is so sweet, feminine, and classic.  It also has a French-girl feel that is so chic.  I especially love the way it looks with a black ribbon and it is such a great way to complete any outfit!  Learn how to recreate this look here.

Favorite Blogger Look GMG Now Daily Look 11.11.17
Julia has the most amazing style and I fell in love with this look last Saturday when I saw it on GMG Now and haven't stopped thinking about it since.  It's really no surprise that I like it so much since it features a leopard coat and my favorite shades of pink.  I really like how she styles her sneakers with the look to keep it casual and comfortable.  I might just be adding those Nikes to my Christmas list too!

Favorite Thanksgiving Tablescape Pink, White, and Blue Pumpkins on Marble Table
How gorgeous is this Thanksgiving tablescape?!  It is serious #decorgoals.  This was from a collaboration last year between Lauren Conrad and Kate Martindale featuring Casa de Perrin shot by Stephanie Todaro Photography.  If I was hosting Thanksgiving this is exactly what I would want my table to look like!

Friday Favorites

Favorite Makeup Gigi x Maybelline
I'm a huge fan of Gigi Hadid so needless to say I was super excited when I found out she was releasing a makeup collection with Maybelline.  I have been dying for this makeup line to come out for a few weeks now and I'm so happy that it's finally available both in stores and online at Ulta.  I haven't had the chance to get to Ulta yet to check it out, but you can bet I will get there soon!  I love how the collection is broken up into East Coast Glam and West Coast Glow since Gigi is the ultimate bicoastal American girl.  I'm most excited to try Gigi's "perfect nude" lipstick Taura and her red lippie Lani.

Favorite Cold Weather Outfit Inspo Black and White Cape and Pom Hat by The City Blonde
When I found this on Pinterest I fell in love with it.  It's finally starting to get chilly in NJ (it's actually not going to get out of the low 30s today, which is a big drop in the temperature) and it has me super excited for cold weather fashion.  I'm all about capes and over the knee boots this year and once again I cannot get enough cute pom pom beanies!  This look is super chic and serves for the perfection fashion inspiration for the many cold months we have ahead of us.

Favorite Celebrity Look Jenna Dewan Tatum in Christian Siriano at War Dog: A Soldier's Best Friend premiere in Los Angeles
In my opinion Jenna Dewan Tatum always looks amazing, but I'm really loving her in this little black dress/statement heels look from this past week.  An LBD and statement heels ensemble is so simple, yet classic and Jenna really nails it here.  This look is also the perfect outfit inspiration for any parties you might have this holiday season!

Favorite Nail Color Deborah Lippmann Venus in Furs
For fall and winter I always love dark nails (the darker the better) and right now I'm really obsessing over vampy dark red polishes.  I love this deep berry red color from Deborah Lippmann and definitely need to get a similar color next time I get my nails done (I'm currently wearing OPI Lincoln Park After Dark).  I will absolutely be wearing dark reds, cranberries, and burgundies on my nails all fall and winter.

Favorite Launch Taylor Swift Reputation
So in case you live under a rock and/or just happened to miss this crazy big news Taylor Swift's new album finally comes out today!  I feel like we've all been waiting for what feels like forever for this moment and I'm so pumped the big day is finally here.  I've really loved all the songs she's dropped as singles so far and I'm sure the rest of the album is just as amazing so I cannot wait to hear all of the songs!  If you need me I'll be rocking out to T.Swift with Lucy all day 😉 !

Friday Favorites

I have been obsessing over these espadrilles since I found them on Pinterest a few days ago.  They are so cute and so perfect for summer.  I'm also thinking that they would be super comfy and that I need to get myself a pair!  They also happen to be on sale right now so I think it's meant to be!

Favorite Sweet Treat Pink and Gold Cactus Cake
The lovely ladies over at Best Friends for Frosting created this ridiculously cute cake that I am loving!  This cake would be great for anyone celebrating a summer birthday (who loves pink of course) or for a summer party, BBQ, etc.  For the instructions on how to make one for yourself check out this post.

Favorite Celebrity Look Lily Donaldson in Dior at Loveless premiere in Cannes, France
I loved this look that Lily Donaldson is wearing at the Cannes Film Festival the minute I saw it.  It's such a feminine look, which is always a favorite of mine.  I'm also really loving how she looks like a chic French ballerina.  I definitely want to find a (less sheer) version of this dress next time I have an event to go to!

This adorable backpack is from Lauren Conrad's latest LC Lauren Conrad Handbag Collection at Kohl's.  I've been seeing cute little backpack handbags like this everywhere recently, which has left me wanting one.  This sweet little backpack also happens to be in my favorite color, which is what really left me swooning! (Bonus: It's also on sale right now too!)

Favorite DIY Abstract Artwork
I have been really big into abstract art lately so it's no surprise that I pinned this tutorial the minute I saw it.  Fran over at Fall for DIY shares how to make your own painting, just like this, here.  I haven't painted in forever, but next time I'm in the mood to I want to make an abstract piece to go with the gallery wall I've been planning for my bedroom!

Friday Favorites

Favorite Spring Pattern Stripes
I am all about stripes for spring - striped shirts, striped dresses, striped skirts, I love them all!  Stripes are such a classic pattern and look great paired with so many different pieces.  I also love seeing how everyone styles stripes their own way (like in this post from Bows and Sequins).  I am definitely thinking about picking up a striped dress for spring and summer.

Favorite Hair Styling Product Redken Fashion Waves 07
If you had told me a year ago I would be letting my hair air dry more than I would be blow drying and heat styling it I would've thought you were crazy; however, it's true now and with a big thanks to this.  This spray from Redken coaxes my somewhat wavy hair into beautiful beachy waves and smells incredible.  This is a holy grail product in my opinion!


Favorite Event Sephora Spring Sale
Sephora is having their biannual sale right now and you can get 15% off on your order (which is a pretty big deal since Sephora only offers discounts with these sales twice a year).  I wrote all about what I'm buying and why I'm buying it in this post.  Now is the perfect time to stock up on favorites and also try something new!

I picked this up at Ulta last weekend on a whim and I am so glad I did!  This mask uses red wine extract to reduce the size of and tighten pores and also purifies the skin.  I used this on Tuesday night and could not believe how amazing my skin looked after - my pores had practically disappeared and all of my blackheads were completely gone.  I would honestly say that the results I got from this are comparable to the results I get from using GLAMGLOW SuperMud Clearing Mask, which really says a lot.


Favorite Sunnies DIFF Rose Sunglasses in Black/White Pink Mirror Lens
Cute sunnies are an everyday essential for me, especially in the spring and summer.  This pair from DIFF definitely gives me all the heart eyes and I have not stopped wearing them since I got them! I think the best part about DIFF though (aside from their stylish sunnies) is that for every pair of sunglasses sold, they donate a pair of reading glasses to someone in need, which is a major win-win in my book! If you want to snag any pair of DIFF sunnies for yourself just use my code BLUSHBLONDE for 25% off a pair!
