It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika, Andrea, and Narci to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now!
I’m of course going to kick off today’s post with MY #1 FAVORITE OF THE WEEK. SCRATCH THAT, OF THE MONTH. HOLD ON. FOR THE YEAR.
Y’alls awesome response to the Gibson x Glam collection, and even more touching – your excitement for me, was definitely MY FAVORITE of the week.
I told y’all that I was going to be doing a THANK YOU giveaway this week, and I have the winners! All 3 winners will get to pick one of the following accessories that I think are perfect for the upcoming holiday season (and year round)! You can pick either this delicate blingy necklace that I wear most days or this set of drusy bracelets.
Congratulations to the following: @pagermck is the instagram comment winner, LeeAnn Hulse is the facebook comment winner, and Amy Azza is the blog comment winner! Please e-mail me directly at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com by Monday morning to claim your prize!
The response to and excitement for the collection has continued to be awesome throughout the week! On Wednesday I even started receiving direct messages and e-mails from readers who had received The Sheaffer and loved it! As your tops continue to arrive, please grab a pic of you in it and send it to me via ig or post it and tag me! I want to be able to start sharing those pictures on my feed.
Different pieces in the line had different buys, so there are some that are already sold out. If you didn’t get a Mallory top, I’m so sorry! It was definitely a favorite. My only suggestion would be to stalk the site for returns. There will be returns that pop up here and there, so maybe you’ll get lucky!
Mallory top / earrings / jeans / ring clutch / similar leopard heels here and a shorter option HERE (with FANTASTIC reviews)
There are some tops that had really high buys that are still pretty well stocked in most sizes. Like The Erin top!
You’ve already seen it in red…
Erin top / earrings / catherine boyfriend jeans (other catherine boyfriend jean options HERE) / similar leopard heels here and a shorter option HERE (with FANTASTIC reviews)
But I love it in green as well. Lots of readers have suggested that this top would be perfect for an office Christmas party because it’s conservative, but still festive! I agree!

The Sheaffer top also had a large buy. If you click over to the launch day post, you can see lots of pretty pics (with professional make up and reallllllllllllly good lighting)…but today I have mirror selfies for you. I wanted to share some other ways for you to style the top! Also make sure you check insastories today for lots of try on sessions!
I loved the look when I paired it with our beloved boot cut jeans and heels.
Sheaffer top / earrings / boot cut jeans / mesh dot heels / clutch no longer available.
And look how great it looks with my drape front leather jacket thrown over it!
Here are all 3 colors paired with the jeans. Every time I think I’m going to be able to pick a favorite, I just can’t decide.

Here it is styled with boyfriend jeans and a cross body bag (BAG ON SALE!).

Okay, one more pic with The Sheaffer top. I decided to go for it and went head to toe black. #meow Thanks for the inspo, Mallory! Styling it like this totally changes the look from a fun and flirty lace to TOTALLY SASSY. I loved it.
Sheaffer top / earrings / black coated skinny jeans / black over the knee boot option
This sequined tee is another favorite from the collection. It would also look great styled with all black like the look above.

So many of you have been faithfully praying for Holt, and our family is so appreciative. Lots of you have been asking how he is doing, and the answer is that the cancer is beginning to respond to the chemo!
Here’s an update from Holt’s mama: The readings are already in and our hearts are soaring with gratitude to God and renewed hope for our next several months. The MRI showed that Holt’s body is responding to the chemo! Cue all the happy tears and all praise and thanks to God!
While the lymphoma is still present (doctors say this isn’t surprising considering the size and multiple locations of the mass when we began) there are absolute marked changes in the size of the mass! They are unable to acurately measure the mass because it is intertwined with healthy tissue so they are basically breaking it up in to different locations, or “zones” as I like to think of it, to determine the change in size.
The mass in his cheek is still the largest although they do believe it has shrunk some. The portion laying on his orbital floor shows significant marked change and here is the big one… When you look at an MRI of your sinuses, you should see two dark black spaces on either side of your nose indicating healthy sinus cavities where air can pass through freely. Holt’s MRI before the first round of chemo showed his right sinus cavity to look normal but the left side had absolutely no black space. It was completely white from his ear to the bridge of his nose. Today, the imaging showed that Holt’s left sinus cavity not only has black space, but looks nearly identical to the healthy right side! THANK YOU GOD!
We will now simply continue the course of treatment we have begun and he should have another MRI to measure (hopefully, SURELY) his continued response after a couple of more rounds of chemo. Thank you SO much for praying with us! We are continually in awe of how God is completely in control and how He is healing Holt piece by piece. God, you alone are able and oh so good. Thank you for your angel armies that are surrounding Holt to battle on his behalf while you lay your capable and scarred hands on Holt healing him with your supernatural power and loving him so tenderly.
Now we are just waiting for his ANC to come up and we will be busting out of here! As always, we are so grateful for every single prayer that is prayed on our little man’s behalf. Keep them coming, they are working! – Alden
THANK YOU, GOD!!!

This is just a teaser, but I have a post coming up on Monday with the GAP family of brands, and I’m SO EXCITED about it. The clothes at Old Navy and Gap right now are bright, cheerful, and DARLING. For example, check out this scarf. So flipping cute.

For you Colleen Rothschild lovers out there, they are having a FLASH SALE on some of their anti-aging super stars.

There’s a VANISHING PANTY EVENT going on at Soma right now.
Please know that I laughed out loud as I wrote that. I mean, it sounds crazy RIGHT? Like you are going to go to Soma and your panties are going to vanish.
Well, that’s not what’s going to happen.
I’ll tell you what IS going to happen.
You are going to get MY FAVORITE UNDIES….the Vanishing Edge Undies, for an incredible deal. You can get 5 for ONLY $39 right now, and they are regularly $16-$27 each, so this deal is truly amazing.
I first fell in love with Soma undies back in April of this year. Y’all know I loved Bliss undies for years, and I still do wear the Bliss and love the Bliss (they are in the drawer below)……but I’m obsessed with the Soma undies as well. If you are wearing anything where even the slightest of a panty line might show, THESE ARE WHAT YOU NEED. I have several styles, but the microfiber hipsters are my favorites. I wear a size small.

E-mails started trickling in earlier this week from people who got their itty bitty boot cuts in the mail after my Gateway Jeans post, and they couldn’t believe how much they loved them. Sooooooooooo many message saying “you were right”, and “why did it take me so long?”
Yes, I was right.
And I have no idea why it took you so long.

I’m in love with this popover fleece! It’s SO DARLING and SO WARM!
I started out with it on at the Manda Strong Fun Run on Saturday morning, it went to a soccer game, and then it was cute enough to wear to a friend’s house that night! I sized up to a medium and am glad I did. I love the high collar, the snaps, and the color options!!!
And speaking of Thanksgiving, this sweater would be great to wear to Thanksgiving with jeans. BUT IT WOULD BE PERFECTION WITH THESE LEGGINGS. #givemeallthedressing #andpotatoes #androlls #andpie #keeptheturkey
I’m wearing a small in the leggings.

Here’s another turtleneck sweater ON SALE! I got this one in black last year and wore the heck out of it. It’s soft, super comfortable, and not clingy. This is another sweater that can be worn out or with a 1/2 tuck. I’m wearing my regular size small here and it isn’t long enough for leggings, but sizing up one would probably make it work with leggings.
turtleneck sweater / earrings / leggings ON SALE/ taupe bootie option ON SALE
This sweater is ON SALE too! It’s a much chunkier knit than the other sweaters I’ve featured today. It’s too thick to pull off a half tuck, and it’s not long enough for leggings because of the side slits. Still, it’s a great sweater. And I’ve mentioned this before, but when you buy the Treasure&Bond brand, Nordstrom will donate 2.5% of net sales to organizations that work to empower youth.
turtleneck sweater/ earrings / step hem jeans ON SALE/ taupe bootie option ON SALE
This poncho wasn’t on sale as of last night, but I still wanted to share it with you so you can keep your eyes peeled for a sale. I’m wearing the xs/small and it’s still very over sized. I have a cami on under it here, but it also looks great with a long sleeve tee under it. At 5’4″, I don’t think it was quite long enough in the back to allow for leggings. It’s super soft, and I love it.

Okay, y’all! That’s it for Friday Favorites!!! Today was a good one! #ifidosaysomyself I’m hoping I helped y’all find some favorites that you want to try for yourselves. Have a great weekend with your people!
Erika Slaughter says
Ahhhhhh!!!!! Praising God for Holt’s news!!! So so thankful to read that this morning!
Heidi | Heidi Wanders the World says
Love all these cozy sweaters! And what great news about Holt!
Brooke says
LOVE this Friday Favorites! I am doing it today- I’ve got those Wit and Wisdom jeans in my cart!! I love the popover fleece too- but it doesn’t look like it’s on sale. Is it on sale?? Is there a code??
Sheaffer says
Ah, nuts. They ended the sale. So sorry, Brooke!
Cary says
Such good news on Holt!
Oh my, I just love that Dreamers cowl neck sweater on you! I also wish I could get my hands on that Sole Society black/white clutch. You look great! 🙂
Shannon says
My Sheaffer and Mallory tops came yesterday…love them both! Having a few outfits planned will make Christmas shopping a little easier!
Sheaffer says
This makes me so happy, Shannon! So glad you love them both! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Brandye says
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Coninued prayers for this sweet child and family. Their strength and faith in this season of trial is an inspiration.
April Parrish says
Great news about Holt! Continued prayers for him and his family! Loving all these sweaters.
Stephie says
Hi! Would you wear that sequined tee with black leather leggings? Or would it not cover the crotchal area?!
Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Stephie! It wouldn’t cover the crotchal area. But I think that is sometimes okay with leather leggings. Do they look like pants, or do they 100% look like leggings?
Stephie says
These are the leggings:

Robin says
I ordered the INCREDIBLE HOLT necklace (absolutely love it!), and been wondering how the little guy was doing. Wonderful news to hear he is responding to treatment!
