Friday Favorites #152
Hello everyone!
Happy Friday! I can’t believe we are looking at the last weekend of June and we are flipping the calendar to July! This month has flown by, but I have been making some great summer memories, including many this week!
A day involving the water, a walk, and a picnic is always a good idea!
New Places to Walk- One of the things I have on my summer bucket list is to find new places to walk or run. I have gone to some state parks, taken on new trails, and visited hidden oasis so far this summer. As much as I have my favorite spots, there’s something exciting about heading someplace new and exploring.
New Red Lipstick- I was in search of a new lipstick for work and Kylie Cosmetics has been my go-to for lip colors for work. I love the variety of colors and shades, they are long lasting and don’t leave your lips feeling dry. These are all things I’m looking for in a lipstick. I needed a new red lipstick and settled on the Mary Jo color. I didn’t want something too bright or bold, and this red is deeper. An extra bonus was that it was on sale!
New purple nail polish- I always have my nails done and do them myself at home. I feel so much better with a fresh coat on. I like to change my colors about once a week and recently tried this purple from Essie. Lavender is in right now and I am here for it. I like that it’s a springy color, but not too overwhelming. A new favorite for me!
Choosing the Simple Sophisticated Life- Shannon Ables’ book Choosing the Simply Luxurious Life is a book that I really savored. I took my time with it and read a few pages or chapters a day as opposed to racing through it. I have been listening to her blog for almost a year. It’s also about approaching life in a slower and calmer manner and really taking the time to savor life’s moments. She also incorporates the way of French living in her life. I find her podcast inspiring and interesting. I love the practical ways she highlights how to live a life of contentment and peace. Such a great read! I can’t wait to begin her next book.
Brown Dress- I picked up this brown, cotton dress from Old Navy and I have been loving it. I love Old Navy’s t-shirt dresses. They are soft and comfortable, they wash great, and are easy to travel with. I wore this dress out to coffee and shopping with a friend and it was the perfect outfit for the outing. I paired it with sandals, but sneakers could go great with it as well. If it’s chilly, simply add a jacket to complete the look. I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this dress this summer.
There you have it, a quick roundup of some favorite things from this past week.
Tell me: what’s been a favorite moment from the past week for you? I would love to know! Have a great weekend!
