It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

SNOW DAY
North Texas had a SNOW DAY yesterday! We had freezing rain and sleet over night and early morning, then it snowed for several hours. The boys had a great time.

SLIPPERS
How adorable are these slippers!!! And these dogs!
I saw them, and I couldn’t resist them. They’re just so dang cute! And comfy and warm of course!
********************
JEANS
I have a post coming up in the next couple of weeks with Nordstrom where I’m going to highlight some new denim styles. In order to prepare for that post, I’ve ordered LOTS of jeans (9 pairs to be exact) to hopefully find 2 new pairs that I LOVE.
That’s the behind the scenes of creating a post that I rarely show. I place HUGE orders, and then I make huge returns. I would estimate that y’all never see about 60%-70% of what I order.
Here are the 4 pairs that I’m most excited about and they are on their way to me right now. They were supposed to be here yesterday, but with the winter storm we’re dealing with, they’ve been delayed. I also ordered this pair of girlfriend jeans from Wit and Wisdom and this pair of white flare jeans from Kut From the Kloth.

FEBRUARY FINDS
I spent a lot of time in front of the fire yesterday watching a crazy number of Brothers and Sisters episodes. I also spent a lot of time scrolling the internet, and I found lots of fun items to share that are perfect for the season!
The love enamel bracelets are just UNDER $5 and the beaded heart earrings are under $15 (and you can find other adorable beaded heart earrings HERE as well). I ordered this boyfriend denim jacket for myself and hope to do a review on it soon. I wanted a jacket with a little more length, and this one seemed perfect. (Y’all know that I’ve loved Kut from the Kloth denim jackets for years! Remember, a different Kut jacket was one of the very first MUST HAVES I ever named.)
Maracuja juicy lip gloss has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. If you haven’t ever tried it, you need to. There are lots of pretty colors to choose from, and it goes on so smooth and like a really hydrating lip mask. And great news, they have some awesome duos (that include the juicy lip) on special right now!
The face roller is on its way to me too. It has lots of benefits and excellent ratings, so I can’t wait to try it. And this Hanky Panky set is an absolutely incredible deal at 40% OFF! The 3 pack comes in several different color combos and they all come in a little gift box.

SHORT TRY ON SESH
I haven’t had a try-on session in a good long while, and I had several things in one of my last orders that I wanted to share with y’all…so I thought it was time!
I think this puff sleeve sweatshirt is adorable. It’s SOOOO flipping soft, I absolutely love the colors and the tie dye design, and it’s got great design details as well (subtle puff sleeve, pleated at the cuffs). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This crewneck sweater is one of those basics that everybody needs. It’s super soft, can be worn out or with a half-tuck, and is warm and cozy. It comes in several solid colors and a couple of DARLING striped options. For size reference, I’m wearing a small, and it still has a very relaxed fit. I would definitely consider sizing down.

This floral blouse is great with black jeans, but it would be PERFECT for an office environment. The sleeves fall to right below the elbows (which I love), and I really like the feminine detailing on the neckline and the cuffs of the sleeves.

This crewneck pullover is thick, so cozy, so soft, and so warm. I can’t believe it’s under $40, because it looks and feels much more expensive than it is! If you saw this in a boutique, it would be at least $80! I’m wearing the small here, but I think I would prefer the fit of a medium. The reviews are excellent.

Maybe you remember the same sweater in this other colorway…

You saw this blouson sleeve sweater earlier this week on my Blush and Bashful post. It combines taupe, blush, cream, and a nice soft coral with asymmetrical stripes. It has a wider neck collar, pleated shoulders, and a blouson sleeve with a gathered hem. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

And then I took a pic of me wearing this outfit. Yes, AGAIN.
The heart sweatshirt is super soft, so warm, and so cozy. It’s light with a light fleece and just so comfy to wear. I sized up two sizes to a large because I wanted to make sure it would be long and relaxed enough for leggings. The quality is great, and almost all ratings are 5 stars.
Now, let’s talk about the 7/8 leggings. Soooooooooo many of you recommended that I try this brand because they are supposed to be Lululemon Align legging dupes. Now, I’ve never tried the Align leggings, so I can’t compare them. I can however say I like these Amazon leggings. They are 80% nylon, 20% spandex, and buttery soft. Now, I can’t see wearing these to actually work out because I think the waistband would have trouble staying put. However, they are incredibly comfortable and I will definitely be wearing them around town.
