Happy Friday everyone!
Gosh, it’s been a crazy week trying to get back into the swing of things after vacation. You know how it goes! I’m excited to relax, re-assess and get my life back in order this weekend. It’s supposed to be chilly, which will help force me to stay indoors and get organized.
Yay? ;)
What are your weekend plans? Got any weddings to go to?
I feel like I’m seriously lacking in weddings to attend this spring and summer, and you know how much I adore them. Sigh. Come on, guys – pop that question! ;)
Random thoughts aside, have a wonderful weekend, and please enjoy my favorite finds from around the web in this week’s Friday Favorites!
Favorite devour: Red Velvet Brownies. Red, chocolate, chewy lusciousness. OMG.
Favorite print. Gosh, so true!
Favorite bite: Apricot & Goat Cheese Bites. Ummmm, pretty much all my favorite things in one poppable bite. So genius.
Favorite color pop. I adore the gold accents with the bright fuschia and tangerine colors of the dress. The turquoise purse totally takes it over the top.
Favorite picture. Pure happiness! I need this as a poster, or something. :)
Favorite funny. Engaged people – you HAVE TO DO THIS on your wedding day!!!!
Favorite supper: Martha Stewart’s Half Hour Chicken Gumbo. The weather has gone from high 80s everyday down to the 50s over the past couple of weeks, which makes coming home to a hot pot of hearty soup ready in half hour sound blissfully cozy. :)
Favorite tank: J Crew Stripes. For, you know, when the weather gets back into the 80s! ;)
Favorite DIY: Knock-Off Anthropologie Letters. Brilliant, and CHEAP!
Favorite mouthwater: La Jolla Crab Stack. The epitome of refreshing. Summer. Fresh.
Favorite home accent: Giraffe Bookends. Just the feel of this makes me want to go on safari. :)
Favorite show: GCB. If I had to give up all shows to watch just one show…it would for sure be GCB (stands for Good Christian B!itches.) It is SO hilarious and smart – it actually makes me look forward to Sunday nights!
Favorite healthy sweet: Lemon & Zucchini Muffins. Fluffy, moist zucchini muffins, with a sweet, lemon twist. These will definitely be made this summer!
Favorite sigh: Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy. I wish I was someone who could sweetly say, awww, remember when?! after seeing something that reminds them of an epic vacation. My response is usually a wailing WHYYYYYYYY??? WHY CAN’T I GO BACK?!” Ahem! Anyways, this snapshot made my heart absolutely ache for the Amalfi Coast adventure Ben and I took a couple years ago. The little beach in the back right is “our beach”!
Favorite squeal. Hot sand! Hot sand! Hot sand!
Favorite tip: Dish Soap in Oil Bottles. Keep dish soap handy without having to look at unsightly bottles, by pouring it into pretty liquid dispensers!
Favorite sip: Strawberry Basil Sangria. I am so intrigued by this herby-sweet concoction. I can’t wait to try it!
Favorite find: Swimsuit Cover Up Wrap. Love this unique, wrappy swimsuit coverup. Check out the how-to!
Favorite summer treat: Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Cream Frosting. Can you tell I’m loving the strawberries lately?! They’ve been out in full force at the grocery stores lately. I’m trying to tell myself to wait just a little bit longer to buy some, but it’s hard!
Favorite relax: Wine Holding Chair. Yes, please. Two, please.
Favorite nosh: Spicy Fries with Garlic Cheese Sauce. IN MAH FACE!
Have an awesome weekend everyone!
I’m getting married June 16th. The last bit of planning is driving me craaazzzyyyy. I’d love for FI to do that with his ring, but he’s not a fan of having his photo taken. He has lightened up since he met me though. I might “mention” it to his best man, Ryan would get a kick out of that and might get FI to go along.
I hate it when I get to the end of the Friday Favorites list!!! I want more!! Love to see a Monday Favorites…Tuesday Favorites…Wednesday Favorites…and so on!!! Keep up the great work!!
Can’t wait to make some lemon-zucchini muffins and strawberry cake!! :-D
Love the doggie!!
I’m going to my niece’s wedding next month. Any suggestions for a unique gift???? She has everything, so I don’t think I can get by with giving her a toaster.
GCB is hilarious!!!!
I got a friend a custom sketch of her wedding dress & bridesmaid dress once (since she was obsessed with them.) Totally unique! http://www.etsy.com/listing/54344793/custom-wedding-gown-bridal-party-dress
I LOVE GCB! It is my latest guilty pleasure! Even my husband thinks it’s hilarious. Though I think he has always had a thing for Kristin! :) Love your friday posts, love your blog, love you! :)
From a previous Friday favorites of yours, thanks for featuring Amanda Catherine Designs. I bought a cute print for a friend’s engagement/wedding gift; the ‘LOVE’ stamp print in yellow & aqua. Yea for crafty people!
Love GCB! It is hilarious and the husband watches with me.
I always love reading your Friday Favorites! I made Strawberry Basil Mojitos last summer. They were awesome- such a refreshing combo. I’ll have to try the sangria this summer.
holymotherofgod, I need the fries and cheese sauce right. now.
I’ve had a strawberry basil margarita and it was to die for so I bet the sangria will be great too. I’m excited that strawberries are back in season too.
Omg those brownies look so good! I am also going to have my groom take that picture at our wedding this summer.
That strawberry cake is now one of my favorites, my husbands cousin made it for Easter. DELICIOUS!
Yet another great week of Friday Favorites! I look forward to this post each week, so thanks for posting these awesome finds!
Those red velvet brownies look YUMMY! And I want one of those chairs. You find the best stuff on the internet!
I love the wine-holding chair! I saw one of those at a winery I went to once and everyone was oohing and aahing over it!
