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!
*********************************************************
LASH EXTENDER
So y’all now that I’ve been using this Dior lash extender for years now. I swear by it. It intensifies the effects of mascara and really makes a difference for me! You paint a white layer onto your lashes, and the formula grips to your lashes and immediately gives them an oversized look. I do one eye at a time, and when the primer is still wet, I paint the mascara over it. I’m telling you, this is a product that does what it says it’s going to do!
I rotate mascaras all the time because I never seem to find one that I love long term. It’s either too clumpy, or it flakes during the day, or it doesn’t separate the lashes like I prefer. But for the moment, I’m liking this mascara! It’s a collab between Drybar and It cosmetics, and you can use the code FREESHIP for free shipping.

THE PUPS
This is Charlie, but we call him Charles at least half of the time. He’s definitely my favorite.
JUST KIDDING! I can’t choose a favorite pup! I love them both sooooo much it’s stupid.
Anytime any of us are in the kitchen, these guys are too. Looking as cute and pathetic as possible of course, hoping for a bit of something delicious. This round Charlie took pathetic (on the left) and Buddy totally nailed cute (on the right).

SPRING OUTFITS
Now I have some favorite new clothing pieces and outfits to share!
Check out this DARLING BLAZER!
Now here’s the deal, I love a blazer, but I have great difficulty finding blazers that are good on me. BUT THIS ONE IS BLAZER PERFECTION. It combines the structure and tailoring of a classic blazer with the softness of a sweater. And it’s the sweater material that makes this so great for me, because the material has some give to it and it’s much comfier than a traditional blazer.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the “red bittersweet” color.

It’s soooooooooo soft and sooooooooo good.
The color is gorgeous, and I absolutely love the fit. I’m able to wear the small in this blazer since it has some give to it. (In a traditional blazer, I would definitely need a medium)

This jumpsuit has me ready for Spring, and good thing, because it’s in the 70s where I live right now.
The material is crazy soft and the jumpsuit is obviously very comfy. In fact, it’s so comfortable that this would make a perfect travel day outfit. I grabbed the olive, but it also comes in black and navy. I’m 5’4″, and I’m wearing the Petite Small so I could make sure the pants would be appropriately cropped.
The denim jacket is a favorite for sure, and I love that it’s from Amazon! It’s got a bit of stretch to it, it has a flattering fit, and it’s super affordable at just under $40. It’s a really great jacket.

And do you remember my sweater from Monday? On Monday I styled it with skinny jeans and leopard flats, but now I’ve paired it with boot cut jeans and wedges!
This sweater is good now and will still be good all the way in to Summer. I’m wearing it here with regular ol’ blue jeans, but I’ll also be wearing it with white denim and my denim shorts.
I love this hot pink color, and I grabbed it in the olive green as well. Getting it in a 2nd color made sense for me. It hits right at the hips, so for those of you that don’t love a half tuck, this length will be great for you. I like wearing it out (on the left), but I’ll definitely be half tucking it as well.
THE SWEATER IS 40% OFF + FREE SHIP with the code YESSS!!!

This blouse is feminine, romantic, and very pretty. And I love the colors and design!
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium because there is no give in the chest. It is lined, so I don’t find it to be sheer like one of the reviewers said.
THE BLOUSE IS 40% OFF + FREE SHIP with the code YESSS!!!
blouse / statement earrings / delicate necklace / itty bitty boot cut jeans / wedges sold out
This blouse has a flowy fit, pretty shirred details, a sweet tie neck, and elasticized cuffs. And as you can see below, you could pair it with black pants for the office, but you could also dress it down with jeans.
Click HERE if you want to see the post where I declare my love for the black pants seen below. They truly are the best black pants ever, but make sure you size down!

And because of the 40% OFF + FREE SHIP code, I thought I would re-post the anorak I highlighted earlier this week again!
It’s DARLING.
I adore this tomato red color (it definitely has some coral in it), but it also comes in mustard, a deep emerald green, and a classic khaki.
It’s lightweight, great for Spring, and has a really fun swingy fit. I’m wearing a small, and there’s still extra room, so I would suggest sizing down for sure.

It’s so bright and colorful!
I mean, a 10% chance of rain will be enough for me to pull this baby out!

The color combo and pattern on this tee is what drew me to it when I saw it across the store. Now, it’s called a sweatshirt tee, but I feel that is very misleading. It’s a thick tee, but it’s nowhere near sweatshirt material.
I’m totally into a relaxed/semi boxy fit today, and this tee totally fits the bill. I’m wearing a small.

You’ve seen all of the pieces in the below outfit on the blog several times each, but I’ve never put them all together.
I love the cardi, the tee, the jeans, the flats, and the jewelry. They all look great together, but as seen previously, they are great basic pieces that can be mixed and matched into a ton of different outfits.
Size references: I’m wearing a medium in the tee, a small in the cardi, a 4 in the jeans (size down if between sizes), and size down a 1/2 in the flats.

I GOT A NEW BAG!
So y’all.
I got a new bag.
I have an entire post coming up that is all about this bag and how I got it (because it’s discontinued), so stay tuned for all of the details. Spoiler Alert: I am THRILLED with my purchase and can’t wait to tell you how I grabbed it!
sweater / colorful hoops /dainty necklace / colorful bracelet / pull on jeans / leopard flats
These colorful hoops and this wrap around bracelets are SO! MUCH! FUN! And they add so much style to so many different outfits! They are 20% OFF right now, but the sale ends Sunday night!

When I first showed you the hot pink sweater above, I told you that I went ahead and got it in this deep olive color too. If I had to choose one, I would stick with the pink (I’m obsessed), but I know I’ll get a lot of use out of the green one too.

Click HERE for my Colleen Rothschild Told Me To post if you want a thorough review of the products that Colleen herself recommended for me. Although I do have new favorites since writing that post including the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads, the Micro Mineral Resurfacing Scrub, and the Tahitian Monoi Body Wash.
I love this entire body line, but if I had to pick 1 favorite, it would be the this body wash! Chris even noticed that I smelled great and commented on it as well as my soft skin. SERIOUSLY. And since then, I’ve had friends comment on the scent too.
Now let’s talk about these Glycolic Acid Peel Pads because they are BACK IN STOCK! I just added these into my weekly routine a couple of months ago now, and I think they are REALLY great. They sold out so quickly when they were first launched, so I’m thrilled they restocked them so fast. PEOPLE LOVE THEM.
So, what are they? Remember the stridex pads we all used as teenagers? Well these are the new and much improved version!
We’re talking a spa-strength treatment formula that helps to help dissolve skin-clogging dirt and debris. And listen to this… you skin’s natural renewal process will be enhanced as a result of the 10 percent blend of The Glycolic and Lactic Acids in the pads. They target fine lines, hyperpigmentation and imperfections and will reveal a fresher, brighter, more even complexion. YES, PLEASE!
I’m ALL ABOUT brighter skin and these really deliver! They are large, so I sweep the pad all over my face, neck, and chest. Since these are still relatively new to my routine, I’m excited to see what the results will be after long term use. There are 60 pads per order, and I’m only using one of these every several days, so they should last between 2-3 months.
My other new favorite is the Micro-Mineral Resurfacing Scrub. If you’re like me and don’t do professional microdermabrasion, this is a great alternative for you! I know it is for me! Do you see those little pink particles in the product? They must be magical unicorn horn dust because my skin has never felt so soft. After 1 use, I walked into the family room and insisted Chris rub my cheek. He was seriously impressed too and was like, “WOW. That IS soft.”
The pink particles feel like really tiny bits of very fine sand, but apparently it’s rose quartz combined with additional mineral nutrients to gently exfoliate and even skin texture. I mean, MAYBE. But I’m pretty sure that unicorn dust is in there somewhere. Right after cleansing with the cleansing balm, I pat my face dry, and then apply a small amount of the scrub in circular motions on my face. I don’t press hard, but I do lots of circular motions all over, and then I rinse with water and then pat dry again. And POOF. Baby soft skin. Correction…baby soft skin with improved brightness. Ladies. It’s soooooooooooooo good.

That’s it for today, ladies! Have a wonderful weekend with your people, and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
Margaret says
First to comment here. I’m a Texan living in the U.K. so I’m now 6 hours ahead of you all. Per the Daily Mail online, The Bachelor’s Peter Weber and Madison Prewett have SPLIT after finale. Not shocked at all. The handwriting was on the wall for this couples demise and the way Barb carried on, its a death knoll for any future relationships Peter has. Run, girls. Run from the woman and her man child of a son.
Christi says
Did you see that Madison and Peter have now broken up? We all knew it would probably happen but we all have more class than Barbara so we said it in a better manner or didn’t say anything at all!!
Mountaincat says
I sure wish those statement earrings would go on sale! Just sayin’….
Susan says
I, too, have that bag, and, love it! And, I have 2 yellow labs that are about the same age as your Golden’s. Their names are Gus and Woodrow (we ❤️ Lonesome Dove). I love them both, but actually do have a favorite!
kimberly says
what’d you do with your gucci now that you got this louis crossbody?
Sheaffer says
I still have it! The Gucci is much dressier. I’ve definitely reached my quota for designer bags. ??
Andrea says
I am ordering that first Loft blouse, and I have to tell you, I would never have looked twice at it based on the pic of it on their website! You are a super cute model!
Sheaffer says
That’s sweet, Andrea! Thank you! xoxo
Jean says
I let out a small gasp when I read that you have a favorite between your two dogs! So glad you were joking because we can never have a favorite when it comes to Goldens!!
April says
Somehow forgot to checkin on Friday and so didn’t see your tease about your new bag. I noticed it a post over the weekend. Cannot wait to hear how you scored it!
