Friday Favorites- Let’s Slow Down This Birthday Month

July 11, 2014

Seriously how is it the middle of July already???  We really need to slow this birthday month down and Summer in general am I right?  My favorite part about traveling is that feeling right when you get home when you realize it just feels good to be back and makes you appreciate your home surroundings that little bit more.  Does that ever happen to you?  What are your plans this weekend?  I am celebrating Mark’s birthday tonight with some burgers and steak sandwiches at the bar at Berns tonight and then who knows!  Let’s get right into these favorites!

Favorite Song

I am so obsessed with this song.  It is the most perfect trance like Summer song.  His voice is so chill and it will for now forever remind me of sitting on the rooftop of the Ivy Hotel drinking a glass of wine and talking with Mark.  Have you heard this yet?  Mr Probz “Waves”


Favorite Recipe

Perfect Summer recipe Chopped Thai Salad with Sesame Garlic Dressing.  Please pin from the orginal source!

Favorite Workout

It’s arm season let’s get those arms sculpted up for bathing suit season (the intermittent trance music….could kinda do without but it’s a burner for sure).  Full printable here.




Favorite Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary sale goes live for non card holders on July 18th.  Check back next week while I preview my top picks!  The good stuff sells out early like all those Zella leggings you’ve been eyeing!

Favorite Person

I wanted to wish Mark a Happy Birthday!  Even though he claims he is not a daily reader I beg to differ.  I think he may even know what OOTD stands for (not really but he’s learning).  Happy Birthday babe I love you so much and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with truly my best friend.

Who makes me laugh every single day.

Yes my engagement pictures are done!  I can’t wait to share them with you!  Next week I will have a full recap!!  In the meantime if you are looking for a photographer I am so obsessed with mine.  I mean he drove up to Gainesville and dealt with this Type A girl over here for hours and his pictures are beautiful.  Here is the link Sunglow Photography.

Okay maybe one more I can’t help it!!

Favorite Funnies

100% accurate

Also because I never think I locked it and I want to hear that validating beep.

Pretty Much

Or right before I am about to fall asleep.  Isn’t this the straight truth???

Pretty much how I’ve been ever since I got Netflix and have been binge watching OITNB

Alright your turn tell me your favorites from the week!  What are you up to this weekend??  xoxoxo

  19. I can’t wait to see the rest of your engagement pictures! And, I totally agree with that about the argument in the shower. Happy Birthday to Mark! Enjoy! xo

  20. Cannot WAIT to see more engagement pics- y’all look gorgeous!!! Also love the idea of “excellent assessment skills…”

  21. Your pictures look amazing so far! Can’t wait to see more! The one with the orange background is my favourite. I love pictures taken from far away like that, they are like art to me.

  26. I am with you about loving home more when you come back from a trip, there is nothing better than sleeping in your own bed! Love that first ecard, my assessment skills are great! Can’t wait to see more of your engagement photos, have a great weekend and thanks for hosting the link up!

  29. Love all of your engagement photos! You guys look great! Thanks for sharing another delicious looking salad recipe! And I am definitely tempted by the Nordstrom sale as well! Hope you have a great weekend!

  31. Your engagement pic outfits were great choices! Nothing you will regret in a few years! I always think Nordstrom is too expensive so I’m ready for you to prove me wrong!

  34. That salad looks delicious, yum!! And I definitely click two or three times until I hear the beep from my car hahaha.. Just in case. ;) Happy Fridayyyy!

  43. I love that song… perfect for summer. Gorgeous pics… even the Gator sign one… it’s cute I will give you that:) Birthday present delivered huh??? Hmmm what could it be? Have a great weekend hun!

  44. That salad. YUM doesn’t even begin to describe it.
    AND I loveeee your engagement photos! You look gorgeous!! Can’t wait to see the rest.

  50. AHHHHHHHHH I love your engagement pictures!!! I can’t wait to see more! I’m not even a really big wedding person but I love engagement photos and seeing how people make them different and their own. And ummm yes to that song, I’ve had it on repeat for weeks — so good! Have a great weekend (& happy birthday to Mark!) :)

  51. Love the preview of the engagement pictures! And I always have to click my car alarm several times before I am sure it is locked.

  52. well of course i can’t wait to see what you’ve picked out from the nordstrom’s sale!!! i love those posts lol. and that is the best arm work out i’ve come across from TIU. I agree the music in the background is a little annoying but it’s zoo good. i can only get through the video 2x though. it hurts!

  57. Girl! I can’t even handle the tease of the engagement pictures! Give me more now! Hahah! Just kidding :) I don’t want to be all stalker psycho ;) Beautiful photos though! You two look so happy! Is that the dress you forgot your bra for?! Bahah! If so, you can’t tell at all and you look amazing {as usual}! :) Hope you guys had fun celebrating mark’s birthday!
