Happy Friday everyone!
My apologies for being randomly MIA this week. A combo of spring fever, a full moon (I always sleep terribly during the week of a full moon) and taking on too much in my personal life has left me feeling like I’d lose my head if it weren’t firmly attached to my body.
Thanks to Evernote, Google Tasks, and Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss’s (seriously delicious) I think I’m back on track, and feeling super organized.
By the way, would you guys enjoy a post on how I (try) and stay organized in my daily life? My boss and I get a kick out of sharing tips and tricks with each other, which made me think you would too.
At any rate, please enjoy a roundup of my favorite finds from around the web and beyond in this week’s Friday Favorites, and have a super weekend!
Favorite thing in the whole wide world: Kate Spade Gramercy Watch. PER.FEC.TION!
Favorite sweet treat: Healthified Carrot Cake. This looks incredibly moist, and check out that frosting!
Favorite tutorial: 15 Ways to Pull Back Your Bangs. Perfect timing for the windy spring and warmer weather ahead.
Favorite brunch: Breakfast Bread. Kind of like breakfast casserole stuffed inside a baguette. Genius!
Favorite dream home piece: Readable Bookcase. HOW COOL IS THIS?! Click the link to see it all filled it up.
Favorite story: You need to read this story about a mysterious, sleepy dog. It is a HOOT!
Favorite soup: Chicken Gnocchi Soup. Easy & pleasy!
Favorite earrings: Boho Drops. I am really into bright colors this spring.
Favorite exterior. RIGHT?! All the things!
Favorite bite: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites. I cannot wait to make these – and how cute for Easter with colored almonds in the middle!
Favorite place: Elan Valley, Wales. Which is the sky and which is the water?
Favorite idea: Find the Time Print. So easy to recreate on the computer – and what a great reminder!
Favorite Friday night food: Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips with Chipotle Ranch Sauce. These look like Granite City Idaho Nachos – my fave!
Favorite DIY: Map Artwork. Stitch your vacation path on a map with bright red string, then frame it. Love this idea!
Favorite BLERG: Peanut Butter Passion Cake. I might start making this cake for every single one of my friend’s & family’s birthdays. BLERG!
Favorite sip: Skinny Sangria. This looks ruthlessly refreshing!
Favorite kicks: Sperry South Hampton Wedge. Adorable for the summertime!
Favorite hairspiration: Top Knots. I straight up had a dream earlier this week that I had a rockin’ top knot after seeing this pic! ;)
Favorite print: Holstee Manifesto. Must. Have. ASAP. Love, love, love, this – I want it front and center somewhere in my house!
Favorite bite: Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Glaze. There is NOTHING about these that I don’t adore!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
Love the spring stuff, especially those earrings… I’m already all over spring…. I want to see the sun again!
I’d like to see a sh!t people say in detroit… I feel like there’s gotta be some good ones for my hometown! Of course there are two Detroits, so a video like that might be split-personality! hah
Love the map with the stitching! I want to put that in a double frame with a picture from a trip.
I love your Friday favorites! It takes me well over an hour to go through everything you linked up! I think I’m most excited about the gnocchi soup.
Had an awful, awful night’s sleep on Wednesday; didn’t even think of the full moon – maybe that was it! I’m going to have to start paying attention.
Also, once again, I must tell you how much I positively adore your Friday posts! I have bookmarked 6 things from this one!
Oh my goodness! The peanut butter passion cake and the sangria look amazing! I’m definitely going to try both although I should probably stay away from the cake =) Love the Friday favorites….always find something inspirational.
Just found your blog via Pinterest and I really enjoy it! Keep up the good work :)
The earrings (hello awesome color!), the shoes, aaaand the bacon oven chips.. Wow!
Here’s the link if you want to try the red velvet: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/04/red-velvet-sheet-cake/
Loving this week’s friday’s favorite. Speaking of cakes, have you seen the pionneer woman’s red velvet recipe? Oh my. I”ve never tried but it looks so good. I love the 15 ways to pull back your bangs; I was just doing this last summer. Glad to know I am ahead of the game. :-) I’m also loving the top knot. I gotta try that. I love that you added in a pic of Dianna Agron w/ the top. Her and Lea Michele are my fav’s on GLEE. Happy Friday to you. (even though today is Saturday ha)
I think I suffer from full moon insomnia, too. Woke up in the middle of the night every night this week.
That breakfast bread looks so good!
Be sure to try the Summer Shandy, its out already. I look forward to it every year.
And from one of the above comments I bet mixing it with Berry Weiss would make an amazing berry lemonade beer :)
WOW! This is by far your best Friday Favorites! I’ll be clicking away…
Wow, I love that Kate Spade watch! It rivals the Michael Kors & Fossil ones I’ve been coveting for a year.
This is a great post! Gonna spend all weekend reading it. I’m obsessing over topknots now. I knew there was a reason I grew my hair out…have a great weekend!
Organisation tips, please!
Yum…berryweiss….very good on tap, too.
Thank you so much for sharing my Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips as one of your Friday favorites this week! And now you have me craving Sangria :)
i LOVE that poster. In fact, I love it so much, I think I’m going to ask my parents to get it for me for my birthday. :)
And that bookcase is pretty freakin’ awesome!
I would love to see an organization post! I love anything and everything concerning organization :-)
