Friday Favorites – How Is It Mid November Already?

November 14, 2014

Happy Friday lovelies!  I am so looking forward to this weekend!  I am going to do some major catching up.  This week was another doozie and it’s time to catch up on some workouts, sleep and barre.  Let’s get right into the favorites!  Make sure to stop by the all the amazing peeps who linkup!  I have found some amazing new blogs to follow.  Let’s get right into it!


Favorite Song

Not going to lie…..this one is pretty catchy.  She looks gorgeous in this video.  Totally cracked up when I watched it thinking of that SNL parody “wait isn’t she alway’s wearing 1950’s bathing suits“…..yup halfway through pretty much.  Taylor Swift – Blank Space

Favorite Recipe

It has finally gotten cold enough for soup weather here!  Making this one with my new Ninja crockpot.  Creamy Parmesan Tomato and Spinach Tortellini Soup full recipe here.  I used greek yogurt in it so good!  Make sure to pin from the original.

Favorite Workout

It’s skinny jeans and boots time isn’t it?

Favorite Moment

Getting to see Pamela this week for a blate.  We had way too much fun let me tell you.  Who wants to come and visit us in Florida???

Favorite Purchase

Now that’s it’s finally “cold” out (I realize it’s all relative) I have been wearing these on repeat.  They are amazing and $30 cheaper on Gilt.  Dolce Vita still has them full price on the website.

Favorite Funnies

I mean when you have a parking garage far from your condo……you have human strength when it comes to carrying multiple bags and water bottles.

Don’t lie you have some pieces like this
Hahahahaha that’s why I’ll stick to instagram
Every single time….
When I’m at one of those new farm to table restaurants and I’m hearing the entire background story of the meal while starving…..

Instant verification for when I know I’m right

The relief of getting out of one of the bodycon dresses that probably shouldn’t have been tried on in the first place
via tumblr

All bloggers responses when questioned about why you decided to pair a plaid shirt with a fur vest and topped it off with an “Indiana Jones” type of hat…..

I hope y’all have a fabulous weekend!  What are you up to this weekend??  xoxoxo

    Okay not gonna lie TSwift is killing it lately and I’m not usually a fan. Those boots are gorgeous. Google it wins! That pug is too cute, and agree that is the look trying to get out of spanx.

    I love that you and Pamela got to see each other and also a little jealous :) So I saw the T-Swift video yesterday and it reminded me of the lady gaga one where she kept the guy in the house…don’t remember the name for the life of me!! OMG getting stuck in a dress at the store is my worst nightmare…and fear of someone knowing it was me that slightly broke the zipper LOL!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend love!! xo

    So awesome that you and Pam get to have blates! Your both gorgeous! :) Did you two know each other before meeting in the blogging world?! Just curious :) I have definitely been loving Taylor Swift’s new jams. And your right, she’s gorgeous in that video! Love those boots! All my boots are flat… I think I need some with heels! :) Have a great weekend!

    The ninja is awesome! I just haven’t figured out how to make a lot of stuff in it since I’m scared to mess with all of the settings (mainly the baking one…and going from one to the other). I need to just suck it up and do it one of these days, and have a back-up meal on hand. I made the shrimp scampi in the recipe book and it was really good!
    Loving T Swift’s new song, too!
    Hope you have a great weekend Amanda!

    Love the red lips you and Pamela are sporting! Those boots are perfection. I’m kind of afraid to buy shoes while pregnant because I’ve heard so many people say they went up a size after they had baby. How sad would that be? And that ecard about facebook – too true!! Have a fab weekend girl!

    And that soup – Mmmmmmmmmmmmm GIRL that SOUP!!!!!

    I’m a peacock! giggles – LOVE IT!

    And what is up with Bodycon dresses? I mean – if you can’t get out of one – how do they expect me, and all my curvy hip to try one on? I resist the urge to get stuck in one. :)

    Pamela’s sweater is gorgeous – where’d she get it?!?!?!?!?!

    That soup looks like it is EVERYTHING. I’m absolutely going to make it this week! I also felt like that dog when trying to put on a pair of skinny jeans this weekend. Sighhh.

    Oh my goodness, I really don’t like Taylor Swift but her new CD is pretty awesome. I think she’s stole my heart again like she did when I was in high school. About carrying all grocery’s in at once, CHECK! I do that all the time. I hate having to go back to my car to get the rest of my bags. Nope, I HAVE to carry everything in at once. And google is the answer for everything :)
