Friday Favorites

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!

*********************************

MY BOYS

Let’s kick off Friday Favorites with 2 of my very favorites.  You know, just a couple of brothers relaxing at the ranch.

They are just so sweet.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

I’m going to start a new thing where I share MY favorite recent purchases every month or so. These aren’t necessarily the best sellers, these are just items that I purchased and have ended up personally LOVING!

Over the last 2 months, here are the new items that have emerged as my favorites (after living with them for a bit):

* This tinted sunscreen/primer provides SPF coverage and a really pretty tint and glow to your face.  I LOVE IT.

* I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve worn this hot pink summer sweater.  I have it in green too and wear it a ton also.  Click HERE to see the pink on me, click HERE to see the green on me.  Use the code TREAT for 40% OFF!

* This necklace is the new neutral version of my MUST HAVE Summer necklace.  Don’t forget to use the code SHOPSMALL for 30% OFF and FREE SHIPPING.  You can click HERE to see the post where I highlighted it.

* These stone stud earrings in sea green chrysocolla (very bottom right color choice) surprised me.  The girls at Kendra Scott sent them to me, and I had NO IDEA how much I would find myself reaching for them.  The color is absolutely gorgeous.  Click HERE to see them on me (at the bottom of the post in the pink and yellow floral shirt and jeans).

* This dress is a great wear at home dress now and will be PERFECT for travel later.  Click HERE to see the striped dress on me, but I know lots of readers grabbed the black for an incredible price.  And it’s ON PRIME!

* I tried on A TON of white jeans this year, and these are the best white jeans I’ve found.  They sold out initially, but they’ve been restocked! Click HERE to see them on me.  Use the code TREAT for 40% OFF.

SLIPPERS

Many of you spotted my slippers in one of my instastories last week and wanted to know where I got them!  They are Amazon slippers I got sometime last year, and I absolutely love them.  They are cute and they wash really well too.  When I start to notice that they are getting a little dirty, I just pop them in the washer and dryer and they clean up perfectly.  They are a perfect summer slipper, and these days they are often the only shoes I ever put on during the day!  They also come in blue, light grey, and black.

A GREAT SWEATSHIRT

We’ve had several unseasonably cool days lately, and sweatshirts have been my friend.  This one is soft, well made, and a great length.  The open neck is a bit different than most smaller crew neck sweatshirts, and it’s a relaxed fit but not too slouchy.  The reviews are great, and it comes in lots of different colors.

GREAT SANDALS ON SALE

LADIES.  I cannot emphasize the total awesomeness of these sandals enough.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.  After all, you saw above they made my personal favorites list.

They are a great casual sandal, and although I grabbed the light cognac, they come in several colors. The foot bed is super cushioned, the wide straps are very comfy, and I love the little bit of height that the small platform gives. I have a narrow foot, and even though they are a wider cut, I really like them! I did size down a 1/2, so I would recommend that. The white tread bottoms are very “in”.

You can find them on the Sam Edelman site HERE!

You can find them on Amazon HERE!

AND THEY ARE ON SALE AT BOTH RETAILERS!

COTTON TWILL SHORTS

Right off the bat, I need to let you know that the camo version of these shorts is already sold out.  I debated even showing them since the camo version isn’t available.  UPDATE!  The camo shorts have been RESTOCKED in some of the most popular sizes, so grab them before they’re gone!  They are really great shorts and they come in other colors too, so even if the camo isn’t for you, you need to check them out.

They are a sturdy twill, but they have a bit of stretch to them (which I love).  Let’s be real, if the pants don’t have a little bit of stretch, I’m not wearing them.

For size reference, I sized up one size to a 6.  The size 4s were a little tight around my waist, and the 6s are much more comfortable.  My tummy is my problem area, so if it’s not yours, you can stick with your regular size.

They have a 5 1/2″ inseam, so they are not too short and not too long.  #theyarejustright

BRACELET SALE

Every month or two I love to highlight the new styles of Victoria Emerson bracelets that have hit their site.  And right now they are ALL 40% OFF!!!!

Code:  SPRING40

Victoria Emerson is really well known for all of their bracelets, but their boho cuffs tend to be favorites for me.  Each cuff is made up of multiple bracelets that are stacked on top of each other and attached in the back with a gold or white gold engraved magnetic clasp.

These totally take the guess work out of stacking bracelets.  You can put on one and be done!  There are countless options to choose from, and they all have such a fun mix of sizes, materials, beads, and finishes. Some are even up to seven different strands, but there are smaller ones with just 3 strands that are more delicate.  They are a lot of bang for your buck and will add amazing style to your outfits!

Let’s start off with the gorgeous Morelia bracelet.  The Morelia is a shimmering ivory stack with a pop of color. Sweet shimmering crystals sparkle on silver chains with natural stones and shiny seed beads to create a unique dreamy piece.  And it’s topped off with a shiny pearlescent shell pendant right in the middle!

This bracelet screams SUMMER!

If you like shimmer and shine, you will love The Chartres!  It’s made up of glass and metallic beads that are hand-tied on an ivory cord.  In between there are layers of shiny gold chains.  It totally dressed up my plain white tee and shorts outfit.

The Rochester is a bold and colorful bracelet.  It’s a a beautiful mix of gold, coral and brown tones all stacked in one.   It boasts delicate details like a string of diamante crystals, textured leather, and dainty metallic studs and paillette crystals shimmer against polished stones.

Here’s another choice perfect for Spring and Summer!  The oversized pearls with the gold is such a fun combination.  Click HERE.

And you’ve already seen this bracelet before, but you need to see it again, because I love it so much.  It’s one of the bracelets that I’ve worn for years now.

This wrap bracelet is hand made and features fresh water pearls on a dark brown leather.

The large white beads and the leather with the cowhide look caught my attention with this one!  It’s great now but it will be really great all the way into Fall.  Just look at all of those different shapes and textures!

Faro cuff

This cuff is the most popular one on the site, although it’s often out of stock.  BUT NOT NOW, BABY!  I was so happy to see that they had it restocked in time for this sale.

Attica cuff

I’m totally in love with all of the different colors and textures seen on this cuff, and look at the sparkly detail!  This particular bracelet is 7 strands and features white turquoise beads, leather, agate beads, seed and crystal beads, and wing charms.

This is one of the cuffs that I’ve actually had for several years, and it continues to be a favorite.  I used to think of it as just a Spring and Summer bracelet, but I love it paired with this mustard for Fall and now know it will be great year round!

Mendoza cuff

All of the different textures, metals, and materials come together to make one gorgeous bracelet.

COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD FRIENDS AND FAMILY SALE

I can’t end today’s post without mentioning the Friends and Family Sale at Colleen Rothschild.  If you’re close to being out of any of your favorite products, NOW IS THE TIME TO STOCK UP.  And actually, if you’ve never tried her products but have always wanted to, NOW IS THE TIME!  Use the code FAM25 for 25% OFF your entire purchase.

I think the best way to decide on which Colleen products you want to try is to click on the Skin Concerns tab at the top of her site.  It categorizes products by the following concerns:  blemishes, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, texture, and dehydration.  Figure out what you want to target, click on that, and then read the product info and reviews on the products in each category.  The information on the site is incredibly helpful, especially the reader reviews!

I’m a fan of pretty much all of Colleen’s products, and I’ve recently found myself starting to switch up my routine every so often.  I’ve really enjoyed focusing on different products.  My three favorite Colleen products right now are as follows:

1.  The Jumbo Cleansing Balm.  This is ALWAYS my number 1 product.  Even when I switch up my routine, the cleansing balm remains a constant.  The jumbo size balm is already an incredible value, but right now you can get an additional 25% OFF.  And I promise you, you will absolutely LOVE washing your face.  No lie.
2.  The Vitamin C Treatment Complex is in my favorites arsenal right now because I’m really focusing on targeting my dark spots.  I’m also using these brightening dots from Sephora.  I’m hoping to have some great Before and After pictures in several weeks, but I really feel like the combo is working!
3.  I’ve also started incorporating the Mandelic Acid Radiance Serum on a regular basis.  It also helps with skin discoloration as well as overall brightness and appearance.

The Glycolic Acid Peel Pads are also one of my favorite products, but they are sold out right now.  I’ll be sure to let y’all know when they are back in stock.

That’s it for today, y’all!  Have a wonderful weekend with your people!
