Friday Favorites – Springing It

April 8, 2016
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

Happy Friday my loves!  I am off today so make sure to follow along with me on snapchat (@meetatthebarre).  Did everyone have a good week?  Are you ready for the Sephora sale today?  I need to reorder my favorite mascara and I’m definitely going to take the plunge and get this palette.   This lip color by Laura Mercier in Fuchsia Mauve, I’ve been wearing it in most of my fashion posts lately and y’all have been hitting me up about the color.  This is my tried and true bronzer, it is a cult classic for a reason.  It gives the most natural flush with no sparkly micro glitter.  The best formula nail polish in my opinion, this set has all the colors you’ll need.

Favorites Roundup

Joie tribal maxi dress

Maxi Dress, Joie on major sale here (TTS, I’m wearing a small) || Black Bag, Tory Burch satchel limited quantities here similar here || Sandals, Tory Burch here

This song, on major repeat.  Good weekend vibes.

 

This burner workout, I’m still sore from it two days later.

 

Loved Ashley’s Greek chicken recipe, I actually have have all the ingredients, definitely want to make it this weekend!

 

The Shopbop sale is over but don’t fret, my other favorite online retailer is still going on.  Friends and Family 25% off sale with the code FRIENDS.  I am eyeing this BB Dakota romper, how insanely gorgeous is this Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag? Or this purse which is already marked down and then add the 25% on top of it.  How perfect are these grey skinnies?  DL1961 denim is my absolute favorite right now.  These Alo leggings are one of the best sellers in the barre studio.


Favorite blog post, I would love to try this bathroom makeover, I mean don’t you want to live in this space?

New blog crush here.

How I feel about the OJ series being finally over.  Man I looked forward to watching it every week

    We both have a bronzer on the mind to purchase for the sale :) Gary does the SAME thing about letting dishes soak, but if that means he does them…then that’s fine with me! I don’t like elevator small talk…I always look at my phone – so bad I know! Happy Friday! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston

    Oh, I didn’t know the OJ show was over – I always like getting it about 3 episodes ahead on my DVR & then binging on it. I’ll be sad to see it end too – its been so interesting seeing it all over again.

    Enjoy your day off!

    Ahhhh stop it with the sales. All my monies is going to be gone! Haha! I love that palette, so pretty! And forever 21 really is hell on a weekend. I had to go in there to get something for my niece one day and needed a large beverage when I finally got out. Letting the dishes soak. LOLOLOLOL. Hope you have a great weekend!!!

    You always have the funniest gifs! Love the “You made a powerful enemy today” and the living hell at Forever 21. Yup! Sums it up!

    I love the gifs. I hate small talk too, it’s so awkward on an elevator. Love the maxi dress on you! Have a great weekend!

    OMG I avoid Forever 21 at all cost. That place gives me anxiety just walking by the store!!!

  14. Caroline says

    April 8, 2016 at 8:51 AM

    The Andy Cohen gif is my favorite. Like yeah don’t talk to me haha. The dishwasher/husband thing….Chris always puts his dish in the sink. I’m like umm check the dishwasher first. I went into a Forever 21 a month ago on a week day and it stressed me out. And it was empty in the store. I’m also pretty sure that I’m way too old to shop there haha. Enjoy your day off and I hope that you have a fab weekend!! :-)

    I went to Forever last Saturday to pick up a cheap pair of sunnies and I looked around and though, “HOW IN THE WORLD DID I USED TO LOVE COMING HERE?” Like traveled out of town to shop there before we had one in my town. Yikes. Thanks, but no thanks. Have a good weekend, girl!

    I’m way too excited about the Sephora sale! I’ve been lusting after that Hourglass palette forever, and think it’s time to finally pull the trigger! I was super sad about the end of the OJ documentary too, my DVR cut off about 15 minutes of the ending so I re-recorded it when it re-aired with an extension. You know… first world problems. Happy Friday <3

    April 8, 2016 at 9:43 AM

    Oooh, I did not KNOW Sephora was having a sale too!! Seriously LOL about Forever21. I even have some returns there I didn’t bother returning because it wasn’t worth the effort, haha! And the last funny about Siri – hahaha. So true. Have a great weekend!

  21. Pinky says

    April 8, 2016 at 9:47 AM

    Totally forgot about the Sephora sale…..OOOOPS!

  22. Emily says

    April 8, 2016 at 9:48 AM

    Love that Joie maxi dress!! And major lolz at your f21 funny…I literally opted out of even returning something recently because it had only cost $15 and that wasn’t worth dealing with that store to me hahaha! Have a great weekend! xx

    April 8, 2016 at 11:01 AM

    I’m thinking I need to hire your Siri because mine is the effing WORST at voice to text! Love, love those laceup wedges I keep seeing. Will me your Tory satchel, mmk? ;) Happy weekend, love!

  27. Emily says

    April 8, 2016 at 11:23 AM

    I did that mashup workout earlier this week too! Ouchie—in the best way possible.

    Ummm, so those Alo Yoga mesh leggings (stirrup?! yes, please) are definitely a need and not a want.

  28. Missy@My Shitty Kitchen says

    April 8, 2016 at 11:42 AM

    I may be ignoring the clothes sales, but I am going to get on that sephora sale! I wish siri would speak my accent, her typos are hilarious when I type text though. My weird long Canadian way of saying vowels get her every time! Happy Weekend!

  29. Jaelan says

    April 8, 2016 at 11:43 AM

    You look so awesome in that Joie dress! Hope you have a great day off. Can’t WAIT to buy some stuff at Sephora tomorrow.

  30. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says

    April 8, 2016 at 11:56 AM

    Too funny about your thoughts on F21….I agree! I will only shop on their website! I adore that maxi dress with your TB shoes and bag! That’s my idea of a perfect weekend outfit! Love!

  31. Helene in Between says

    April 8, 2016 at 12:37 PM

    think i need to try your fave mascara!! sounds like an awesome one to me!! I love that Joie dress! and yay for a day off!

  32. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says

    April 8, 2016 at 12:43 PM

    What is with husbands leaving dishes in the sink to soak tho?! Kirk does it every single time I cook. Ridic. And does siri ever get all the talk to text words right??? Hahaha. Are those the grey jeans from your snap pictured above?!

  33. emelia says

    April 8, 2016 at 1:24 PM

    ommmmmgggg the dish soaking thing kills me…NO, they go in the dishwasher and that cleans them, not the soaking…LOL! I loved all your snaps of your shopbop goodies, and the VIB sale is loving me today because I just kept adding and adding to my cart. hahahha, enjoy your weekend!

  34. Annie Thompson says

    April 8, 2016 at 1:50 PM

    AHHH! My husband does the same thing with the dishes! Drives me up the frickin’ wall because what is really happening is that he is letting them “soak” so I can do them in the morning ;) That TIU Mashup workout is awesome, right?! Have a wonderful day off!

    xo

    I love when Siri gets my talk to text correctly and totally agree on not understanding the soak in theory! Ha. Have a great weekend! -xx Leah || Chasing Texas

    April 8, 2016 at 7:40 PM

    Ughhhh hate elevator small talk. It’s just the worst. It’s basically the reason I take the stairs everyday at work! ;) have a fun weekend, girl!

  37. Ashley @ The Wandering Weekenders says

    April 8, 2016 at 8:53 PM

    You have so many goodies selected for the Seohora sale, and I hope you love that new lipgloss that you’re getting! I still love your post about styling maxi dresses! It was awesome! I hope you’re having a great Friday so far!

  38. Lindsay says

    April 8, 2016 at 10:16 PM

    I feel exactly the same way about no more OJ. WHAT WILL I WATCH!? I’m so glad I am not the only one with a “let is soak” husband. Why?! I don’t get it!!

  39. Karly says

    April 10, 2016 at 8:50 PM

    As always, great roundup! Ashley’s Greek chicken recipe looks so good, and I’m crushing on Media Marmalade, too thanks to you! Hope you had a good weekend!

  40. Chelsea Marrs says

    April 10, 2016 at 9:56 PM

    Yes! My boyfriend always lets the dishes soak and I have to explain it every single time! Also that F21 gif is exactly how I feel trying to get groceries at Trader Joe’s on any Sunday!

    Thank you for the clarity. I have been researching these amendments and found you to be the most informative. Also, Florida is not backward. Some just cannot handle the responsibility that is required to be a free republic.
