Favorite Things

I love all four seasons and the things that they represent. To me each one is a reminder that it's time to set new goals, enjoy new things and change up the routine. Fall officially starts tomorrow and as we say goodbye to heat waves, toes in the sand and warm summer nights, there are some wonderful things to look forward to. These are a few of the things I'm looking forward to right now. Happy Friday! 

Going to an Apple Orchard to pick our own apples.

Fall Mums in a variety of colors.

Fall themed candy for my candy jar.

Soft sweaters and scarves for crisp mornings and cool nights.

Burning Wood Wick Fireside candles. There's something about the crackling wick that makes the room feel cozy.

 Have a wonderful weekend!

I saw a quote the other day that I liked. It said "Be your own kind of beautiful". I truly believe that feeling beautiful starts on the inside, with the person you are.  If you feel beautiful, you will look beautiful. And sometimes something as simple as playing with color or wearing the perfect accessory can make you feel beautiful too. Here are a few of my favorites right now. Happy Friday!

L'Oreal lipstick in Mica topped with MAC Lip Glass in C-Thru. Grocery store meets makeup counter. Perfect combo!

Layered Nail Polish. OPI ~ Sweet Heart topped with Honeymoon Sweet. A pretty combination with just a touch of pink.

Stacking bracelets made from recycled plastic. I picked these up at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Marketin NYC for $1 per bracelet!

Leather cross body handbag by Hobo. My favorite bag for city travel.

 

Have a great weekend, and always feel beautiful!

Four years ago, during a trip to Italy, I fell in love with coffee. I have been an avid tea drinker for most of my life but there was something about that Italian Espresso that had me trading in my tea leaves for coffee beans by the time I got home. My morning wake up call is now a homemade latte using a few of my favorite things. Happy Friday!

My favorite coffee mug from Starbucks. It reminds me of one my favorite places.

Espresso Coffee. Enough said.

Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup. I've tried them all. This is the best!

Nespresso Milk Frother. I am completely addicted to this wonderful little gadget. I will even take it with me when I travel!

Have a wonderful weekend!
