Friday Favorites - 09062019

It’s the first Friday in September! It’s hard to believe we are 3/4 of the way through this year. Jinkies!

I created a September calendar with all of the fun holidays I shared with you on Monday. If you sign up for my email list at the bottom of this post, it’s one of the many exclusive freebies you’ll get! 🙂

 

1. Rachel Zane Inspired Outfits

 

I’m not in the middle of season six of Suits and I am in love with Rachel’s style! I’ve been actively searching for a pencil skirt and button-down shirt combo that would look similar to hers and I snagged an outfit over the Labor Day weekend sales! I’ll share it with you when its delivered!

 

2. DIY Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte

 

After buying a Starbucks PSL each day since they launched it last week (oops!), I decided I would try to create my own at-home version with the new Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Creamer. You guys, this is the best! The creamer is spot on with flavor.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you should go pick up a bottle! After some tweaking on the amount to put in my coffee, my version is just as good as when I buy it from Starbucks.

 

3. Fresh Flowers

 

My in-laws sent beautiful flowers to me over the weekend! They are just as bright and lively today as they were when they were delivered. I’m so thankful God put them in my life.

You can scroll down the page to see the flowers on my Instagram Feed. 🙂

 

4. Blog Anniversary

 

To be fair, it’s only my two-month blog anniversary on Monday – however, I’m always telling you to celebrate the small victories! I only wish I would have started sooner. I really enjoy blogging and connecting with all of you.

 

5. Fall Planning

 

I’ve been doing a lot of planning for blog content this week, as well as some events I really want to go to this Fall. Do you ever get so busy that you forget to make time to do the things that you love? I’m ready to change that and schedule in downtime activities.

 

Shout-Outs

 

These shout-outs are blogs that I personally read every week and truly look forward to their posts. I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do, so be sure to check them out soon!

P.S. I gave my Friday Favorites image a little fall refresh, what do you think? 🙂

    Is it wrong that I still haven’t watched Suits? I need to get on it ASAP! I’ve also been so into fresh flowers, one of my local shops has finally started stocking cute flower options, and they just bring such a sense of life into the house!

      It’s not wrong, but I bet you’ll love it!! It’s got a little bit of everything to offer, some comedy, characters you fall in love with (and hate sometimes, haha), drama and romance. Flowers really do have a way of making a space feel so beautiful and special. 🙂

    Donna has a much more enviable fashion style than R. Zane.
    Fresh flowers are wonderful, aren’t they?

#gifted Meet my very first 2027 planner thanks to #gifted Meet my very first 2027 planner thanks to @blueskyplanners!
 
My multiple planner friends will understand the ‘very first’ part! 😉
 
While I haven’t used a Blue Sky planner in a really long time, I have always appreciated their beautiful covers, their accessibility because I find them often at my local Walmart, and their affordability.
 
This chic Blue Sky Life-Note It Planning Calendar in the Latte cover (could there be a better option for me than a cover named after COFFEE?!) is an 8.5x11 productivity machine! ✨ It gives a luxury vibe with the gold coil and written year, and has plenty of space for us ladies who need to write down ALL the things.
 
If you’re a fellow planner girl, feel free to hop over to my YouTube Channel for a full walkthrough of this beautiful planner and you can visit my LTK Shop for the link! Both 🔗 can be found in my bio! 
 
What do you think of this Blue Sky planner? I’d also love to know if you’ve picked up your 2027 planner(s) yet?
