Friday Favorites // Lots of Lovin' + Here's to the Weekend!

// 

1 // I would be totally and completely ungrateful if I didn't say the biggest, gushiest and heart-juiciest thank you to the best favorites this week...YOU GUYS! My friends! Thank you for loving me even when I'm down. Thank you for the encouraging texts and messages and comments. My heart is full! I have that "my heart is going to burst out of my chest and melt into a puddle of love juice on the floor" feeling. God gives us friends because of moments like these. Just know, you are never alone. I know that. I get reminded of that every day. There is someone there who may not be going through EXACTLY what you're going through, but they are willing to feel for you and feel with you. Isn't that something? Feeling with something. That's empathy, right there. So thank you, friends. I love you. I really do. Thank you for feeling with me. 

2 // One of my freshman roommates, Meghan, is getting married and the other day she asked for some planning advice from me and my two other roommates. I got all the wedding feels. Here are 12 unforgettable wedding moments. 

3 // Speaking of Cup of Jo, have you seen the new website design? Can I please write for this website? That would make my life. 

4 // And one more from this beautiful corner of the internet, a West Village Apartment Tour that will make you swoon and wish you had all the dollars to have an apartment so beautiful. 

5 // The prettiest iPhone 6/6+ cases. I'll take the sparklerose one, please! No but really, can't you see those gems looking great on a block of gold?  

6 // Because of recent events, my fashion studying has gone through a little desert-y moment. I wasn't able to talk about the Met Gala red carpet or the rest of NYFW (it's all right though, because it happens every single year). But I just wanted to give a shout out to my girl, Anna. Though poppies were an odd choice, her dress was a work of art and I dig stuff like that. Also, Fan Bingbing. That. is. all. 

7 // The summer shoe. 

8 // More wedding inspo: for the donut lovers!  (Sorry, Karlee) 

9 // Can we "taco" bout this? Please? 

10 // I call this "Throw it on and go" #1. 

11 // "Throw it on and go" #2. 

12 // A slim twist to an old classic. 

13 // Ok and I hate to shamelessly plug, but hey, why not? Check out my tumblr!  You can find me there drooling over food, fashion and nerdy things. Ya dig? 

Have the happiest weekend friends and, dare I say it, stay gold. 

a little mix

1. Pull these on. You could literally throw these one with EVERYTHING.

2. I dig. Oh I dig so hard.

3. Camo will always be the class throwback that everyone will say they hate, but secretly love and adore and wish they could rock. So why don't we rock it? Why don't we?

4. Day & Age by The Killers. Great album. Superb band. Tyler and I have been jamming out. Listen to all of it.

5. I Can't Stay by The Killers (good luck finding a good version...all of the ones I looked for weren't very good, but if you have spotify it's absolutely great on there.)

6. Leave it to A Cup of Jo to remind me just how ADORABLE AND RAD these things are.

7. Give it up for Joanna again, like how does she find beautiful things like this? Fashion at its finest.

8. i love it all. i love it all so much i want to go shopping RIGHT NOW.

9.  Joyride by The Killers (again, can't find a good link)

10. *Stomach growling*

11. My store of choice right now. 

12. The sweetest.  What a lovely D.I.Y.

13. This. 

Have a lovely weekend! Stay gold.

Oh it's favorites time.

1. Not a link, but a moment. This weekend. I had a wonderful and wet drive up to Ogden on Friday morning. Ready to go get my dress fitted and to be blessed with the kind words of my mother and the wisdom of my father. On the way I got to stop for a visit at a new shopping center in Farmington. The snow was dropping so nicely and I made sure to turn on FM 100.3 because Christmas could be felt in the air. Then Tyler came later that night and we enjoyed today eating Chinese food, searching for the perfect eye shadow, eating more food, laughing at funny videos and old stories, and staying snowed in, because it was like a blizzard today. We were supposed to go back to Provo, but why go back when you don't need to and when you can stay cozy in your home? Plus, Tyler is suffering from some pretty bad PTSD after two car accidents, (I'm fine in the snow) so I felt like it would be best if we didn't stress his Southern California bones out. (Sensitivity and lack of jokes or criticism is the best way to combat this.) No one deserves that after a wonderful and relaxing weekend. And so. Tomorrow we make our way home. Rain or snow. I think we will be okay.

2. I was featured!

3. Powerful. Heartbreaking, but incredibly powerful. 

4. Eleanorisms. SO darling! I wanna be naked too E, I wanna be naked too.

5. The most perfect sweatshirt dress.  I say most perfect, but really...the price makes it slightly less than. I tried this on the other day. So flattering. So comfortable. So warm. And perfect with opaque tights and booties.

6. NAKED 3!?!?!

7. Just picked up Naked Basics.

8. Syvende

9. California lovin'. 

10. The only thing I asked for for Christmas this year. Besides my wedding. For our new home.

11. Um, yum! 

12. This look. 

13.  Really into these kicks right now.

Sorry this was late. I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay gold.
