Friday Favorites

08/08/14 | celebrity, Etsy, Forbes, home decor, music

Happy Friday! This has been a long and trying week for a bunch of unexpected reasons. Then again, any week that follows an amazing weekend like I had with Sparkles and Shoes 2nd Birthday Party is bound for a bit of a let down but I really needed Friday to hurry up and get here and I am so glad it did.  With a ton going on and since I am feeling a bit under the weather my post about my favorite things about living in New York City will just have to wait until next week. I leave you with my Friday Favorites: 

Favorite Living Room
Holly Peterson’s Vivid Ultramarine Guest Room

Friday Favorites - Holly Petersons Vivid Ultramarine Guest Room Elle Decor  

Favorite Eats
The restaurant week menu at Haru was to die for –
I am still thinking abut this Titanic Roll from my date with Alyssa Wednesday night. 

Haru Sushi - Spicy Titanic Roll salmon, avocado and caviar wrapped around spicy tuna and tempura flakes

 Favorite Day Dream 
I would like to be on this boat in Thailand.

Thailand

Favorite Purchase 
I worked with the wonderful Amy Rogstad on Etsy
and created a custom print of Georgetown for my gallery wall. 

Washington DC Georgetown Print

Favorite Reminder
Sometimes I just need to remind myself…
 Friday Favorites - Inspirational Quote - mistakes-are-proof-that-you-are-trying

 Favorite New Product 

The combination of sun tan lotion and makeup has not bee nice to my skin lately and the Belli Fresh Start Pre-Treatment Scrub and Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash duo has really been helping combat that.  I am usually only a fan of washes with micro beads but this two step process I love.  (here and here)

Favorite Vine

I am really, really hoping these breakup rumors are false, I love these two!  And because I’m a dork did you know Bey made $115 million between June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014  placing her on the top spot of the Forbes Celebrity 100 and Jay came in third with $60 million in earnings.  Together they made almost half a million a day this past year.  

Have a great weekend!

    I love that living room but if we had it here… any time someone walked in it, they would automatically think we did that in spirit of the UK Wildcats.. haha!

    That blue is gorgeous! Both the wall and the water!! Seriously, how do you come back from vacationing somewhere with views like that!? I dont know if I could do it. Modern convenience has nothing on that life style!
