Friday Favorites and a WELLIES GIVEAWAY!

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!

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

WINNER UPDATE:  THE WINNERS OF THE WELLIES (FROM MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT) ARE @samantha_croteau and her friend @lindseysaba.  Please go to Shay’s blog to see the winner from her instagram account!

 

Let’s start out with the item I’m MOST EXCITED ABOUT!  My new wedge sneakers!

I told you when I showed you this flat lay yesterday that I had been eyeing them for awhile, but they never had the size I needed.  Well, when they popped up again last week I grabbed them.  AND Y’ALL.  LOOK HOW CUTE!

Yesterday I threw on the above outfit, and I’ve gotta say, I felt like such a cool mom.  I mean, wedge camo speakers and a lace bralette?  I was all sorts of Sporty Spice.  😉

Ladies.  I love them so much.

They are incredibly comfortable, and although I am so happy with the camo, there are several others to choose from.  I also love the “rock perf suede”, which is a great taupe color if you would prefer a solid color.

The online description suggested to size up….but lots of the reviews said to size down 1/2 a size, so that’s what I did. And they are perfect! And speaking of the reviews, they are FANTASTIC.  We’re talking 195 5 Star Reviews!!!  Click HERE for the sneakers.

I wanted to remind y’all that with the bralette above, I’m actually wearing my favorite strapless bra under it for much needed support.  I never would have thought of it myself, but luckily I have some super smart readers!

I received the following e-mail from somebody after talking about the bra last week, and I wanted to share it with all of you:

I have to rave about your bra! I am a 42G and can attest to the fact that the bra even stays up on ME. It is probably the most comfortable bra I’ve ever owned. With the whole “off the shoulder look” from last year I splurged (going without is not an option) and it really allowed me to keep up with all of the cute trends. My 20 year old daughter is a 34 G and swears by it as well. This bra is a life changer! – Kate

I mean, that is what I call a glowing recommendation!

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

The sweater below is the same sweater I showed you on Monday in grey and cream…but it sold out almost immediately.  A lot of you were asking about this version, so I ordered it on Monday, and it arrived early yesterday evening.  (Sorry the lighting is weird, it was dark outside when I took the pic.)

I absolutely love this color combo too.  And to remind you, it’s ONLY $39!  Also, the site describes it as a tee, but I believe it’s much more of a light weight sweater.  It’s crazy soft and super comfortable to wear.

As far as sizing goes, I got the small. It says the small is a 0-2…and I’m NOT a 0-2, so I would say ignore the numbers and just go with your regular small, medium, or large!  

This color appears to be fully stocked right now, so good luck!

I’ll be sharing lots more meal ideas on Friday Favorites next week (and some Get Healthy updates), but I wanted to go ahead and share this one item with y’all today!

This is “pasta”, but it’s made out of zucchini and lentils.

I know what you are thinking.  It’s gotta be disgusting.

BUT IT’S NOT!  IT’S FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!!

The entire bag (I eat the entire bag for a meal) has 350 calories, 5 fat grams, 55 carbs, and 22 grams of protein!  If you were eating it as a side with a protein, you could cut all of those numbers in 1/2.

It comes in some sort of really light sauce, so I just sprinkled some salt and parmesan cheese on top.  YUM!

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

I won’t be eating any of these delicious treats this Valentine’s Day (boo!), but this weekend Carter and I are going to be making the red velvet brownies (per his request).  If it was up to me and if I was eating treats right now, we would definitely be making the White Chocolate Strawberry Neiman Marcus bars too!  Click HERE to see links for all of them!

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

These 3 bring me such joy.

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

I saw these online and thought they were so cute! I didn’t end up keeping them for myself (I decided I prefer jersey material), but they are precious, so I grabbed a picture before they went to the return pile.

You can find the pajamas HERE.

Okay, time for the WELLIES GIVEAWAY!!!!  Does this graphic look familiar to you?

WINNER UPDATE:  THE WINNERS FROM MY INSTAGRAM ARE @samantha_croteau and her friend @lindseysaba.  Please go to Shay’s blog to see the winner from her instagram!

It was a Valentine’s giveaway I did with Shay several years ago where we gave one winner and her friend each a pair of Wellies. We were talking about that giveaway the other day and decided to resurrect it for this upcoming holiday 🙂 .  This time though, we’re making it an Instagram giveaway and there will be TWO winners each getting a pair of Wellies for themselves and one more pair to gift.  So, after choosing 2 winners, we will be giving away 4 pairs of Wellies!

Here’s how it’s going to work:  Shay and I will both put the graphic above on Instagram today around 6:00 AM CST.  You go to either (or both if you want additional entires!) of our IG accounts and tag the person you would pick to win with you.  One random person will be picked from my instagram and another from Shay’s. BOTH you and the person you tag have to follow each of us on Instagram in order to win.  The random entries will be picked and we’ll order you some Wellies (you can pick glossy, matte, tall or short!)  Easy peasy!

And the best part?  You can enter as many times as you want with multiple people.  You can enter once with your sister, once with your mama, once with your co-worker, etc.  The more entries, the more chances you have to win!  Contest valid for US citizens only.

You enter, we pick, you and your tagged person get Wellies.

Good luck, y’all!  Just look how bright and happy these boots are…

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

And just in case you need proof that you need Wellies in your life, just check out this next outfit!

You need to know about this gingham shirt.  Now, the reviews are all over the place on this shirt, but I am very pleased with it so far!  (I haven’t washed it yet, so I’ll keep you posted after that happens.)  I sized up to a medium, but I almost always wear mediums in button up shirts, so I guess you could actually say that it’s true to size!

I felt it was a nice fit, it draped well, and was soft enough to easily do a half tuck without it feeling bulky.

That’s a 1/2 tuck on the left and tied at the waste on the right.
