Happy Friday everyone! This week we were brought back down to reality as temps went from soaring to 80+ degrees last weekend, to more seasonal appropriate highs in the 60s. Eek! Me thinks there’s no looking back at this point. Are you ready? Ben and I are getting our chimney cleaned this weekend so we can build glorious roaring fires when the time comes.
Chilly temps aside, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite feel-good photo. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Favorite salad: Arugula, Mango, Macadamia Nut & Avocado Salad. This looks divine, and juicy!
Favorite find: Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel. I’ve told you guys about this stuff before, but it’s worth mentioning again. A bottle lasts FOREVER since you only need a tiny bit, and it works so quick.
Favorite brunch: Jalapeno Popper Quiche. Doesn’t this look heavenly?
Favorite DIY project: Magazine rack/mail sorter. Grab a couple of wood brackets from the hardware store, wood glue and a can of spray paint. Voila!
Favorite dress. Pink? Check. Sparkles? Check. Now can someone just lend me $1100??
Oh! Plus $895 for the shoes to go with. Sheesh! ;)
Favorite front door. This feel like the outside of the Blair House in DC. Cozy. :)
Favorite sneak peek treat: Gingerbread Truffles. Sorry, I had to! I know it’s not even Halloween yet, but if I don’t share some of the awesome Christmasy stuff I’ve found on the web so far, I’ll explode!
Favorite funny. I don’t know why, but I’ve been laughing at this picture for days. Ben think I’m nuts.
Favorite outfit. I have this dress in blue – now I just need those adorable boots.
Favorite party bite: Prosciutto & Frig Crostini. I am obsessed with prosciutto AND fig jam. Put them together on toasted bread? Done. :)
Favorite yummy scent. Try simmering these mouthwatering combos on your stove to make your entire house smell spectacular!
Favorite trip: Southern Utah National Parks Tour. This 12 day itinerary includes a stop in Zion National Park, which I am just dying to see.
Favorite photo. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to grow up in the deep south. I have a feeling this tree and swing would be heavily involved.
Favorite bite: Cake Batter Truffles. You don’t know how much willpower it is taking to not make these!
Favorite simple statement: Droplet necklace. GOSH I LOVE THIS!
Favorite dip: White Trash Dip. I’d make this for the name alone – bahaha!
Favorite look. Sigh…
Favorite baking finds: I’ve been on a massive seasonal baking kick recently (more so wanting to bake, than actually baking…) Here are the items on my GOT to make list! Apple Fritter Muffins
100 Calorie Pumpkin Pie Tartlets
Caramel Stuffed Apple Cider Cookies
Have a great weekend everyone!

What are some of your favorites from around the web this week?
Hey Kristen, cute clothes….~
That dog is HILARIOUS. Love these posts and definitely your taste! And so obsessed with Foster the People :D
OMG those Jimmy Choos are TO-DIE-FOR!!! I have a very similar pair (not jimmy choo of course) in light brown and they are the perfect way to spruce up an outfit!! Also, if you love boots you should shop at endless.com they have a ridic variety of shoes..all sizes, styles, colors and, most importantly, budgets!! AND they ship for free!! I got hooked on it last year….best.thing.ever!
I’ve come to enjoy your Friday Favorites….as it always sparks great ideas!
We were just in Zion Natl Park last week – it is AMAZING!
The boots that you showed with the dress you said you had are MIA brand, I think. I just bought them at younkers (which may still be on sale.) Here is the link: http://www.younkers.com/shop/shoes/boot-shop/low-heel/mia-pali-tall-riding-boot_426509.html
I LOVE mine!
Oh my goodness, SO many tasty looking treats! It’s definitely baking season. :)
That picture of the cat is hilarious!! I’m laughing, too.
My web favorites this week both come from Sleep Talkin’ Man (http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/):
“I’m gonna need about five more arms, three eyes, and an eighth more brain. Yeah. And then I’ll be a one-man X-Box ninja fighting army! Bring it on, bitches!” (10-13-11)
AND
“Oh no. It looks like we’ve got one of those Play-Doh homicides. Poor little fellow never stood a chance against THE MALLET. Call in the clear-up team, this one’s a little messy.” (10-12-11)
the dress, is GORGEOUS!
and i must make (attempt) that magazine rack/mail sorter! what a genious idea!!!
I have that dress in rust (or orange … tomAto tomato). And I’ve been applying the zit balm for a week now. Used to work there in college and am a HUGE advocate. The end.
I am pretty sure Foster The People are on Ellen today!
You NEED to go to Zion sometime. It’s spectacular! We passed through one summer and were only there for an afternoon, but we loved it! We hiked The Narrows and it was one of the coolest things I have done in my entire life.
I want to get out my sewing machine (after learning a few things!) and sew everything that is on Pinterest!
Have a great weekend and GO HAWKS!!
Finally commenting on your blog even though I’ve been reading for a few months now– only to say my team is taking on yours tomorrow & hopefully history repeats itself ;)
HEY NOW!!! ;)
thank you for this. I feel like you must put so much work into these posts each week. foster the people rocks and I’m now listening to the album on repeat at work!!
