Hello Darlings!

I’m so happy it’s Friday, and even better, tonight is girl’s night with my BFF (also known as my sister…we’re lame, and obsessed with each other.) We’re going to the Alamo for some drinks (aka a milkshake for me), yummy food, and seeing The Other Woman. You can watch the hilarious trailer here. What are y’all doing this weekend?

I’m linking up with Amanda over at Meet @ The Barre, so be sure to come check out her Friday Links as well as some other great bloggers!

1.|| Mmmmm I wish I could drink these watermelon vodka frosty’s all summer. Maybe I can substitute vodka for coconut water?

2.|| I’ve been lazy with my makeup lately, and relying on my Laura Mercier mineral foundation for a quick, easy, and flawless skin base. I love the finish of this powder foundation, and find it wears all day without looking patchy. It reduces my makeup routine down to minutes.

3.|| For me, pregnancy means pizza face. That beautiful glow that most preggos get is the opposite of what I get. I’ve been loving my Purity Cleanser for fighting off oily skin and acne. It’s super effective and safe for baby. I’ll be doing an in-depth look at my pregnancy skincare routine soon, and sharing all my tips and tricks that I learned last pregnancy and what’s still working now.

4.|| I love this beautiful Color Block Picnic Throw Blanket by West Elm. On sale for $39 – It’s already in my shopping cart.

5.|| I’ve been reading this series, and I’m obsessed. I finished the first 2 books in 3 days.

6.|| Why can’t this be real life?

7.|| Road rage revenge at it’s finest. Don’t try this at home.

8.|| Who doesn’t love candid shots of celebs without makeup? Not me, I love them!

9.|| The perfect accessory for bookshelves, tables, and as a coffee table book topper.

10.|| I Heart Giveaways. The giveaway I’m co-hosting with a bunch of babes, to be specific. If you haven’t already entered to win $150 + 3 other amazing prizes then you can go enter here.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

1.|| Rebecca over at Living Better Together made these amazing looking Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Vanilla Cream and I haven’t stopped dreaming about them ever since I saw her post.

2.|| Have you checked out the new Ikea PS2014 collection? It’s modern, pastel, heaven.

3.|| This beautiful succulent heart living planter would make such a great Mother’s Day gift.

4.|| I spied this floral maxi at Anthropologie last week with my sister, and it’s so beautiful in person. If the waist was stretchy and could accomodate my growing bump, it would have come home with me.

5.|| This just makes me laugh! But so does this….

HAHA!! Seriously though, excuse me while I go throw up and then take a nap.
6.|| I want to live in these rose gold Valia Gabriel sandals all summer.

7.|| Camryn has asked for a “GREEN” birthday party this year (favorite color), so I’ve decided a green garden party would be fun. My sister-in-law is due with my nephew around the time of Camryn’s party and hopefully we’ll all be jetsetting to Colorado to see his sweet little face, so I’m planning something small for just her and a few of her friends instead of our usual family filled parties. I came across this moss table runner while sourcing garden party decor, and I’m smitten. More party decor and DIY’s coming your way in the next few months.

8.|| I’m currently wearing Essie’s Ladylike on my nails (after have to fix my horrible mani/pedi from last week) and I’m falling in love with this color all over again.

9.|| This mother-daughter prank is too funny!

10.|| My husband is finally home after a very long couple of weeks, and isn’t leaving anytime soon. I’m a very happy wife! Also, it’s Friday, and that’s just fantastic.

I’m linking up with Amanda from Meet @ The Barre, so go check out her post and all the other babes linking up with their friday favorites.

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter weekend!
