Friday Favorites | It’s Officially Summer


Happiest of Friday’s to all of you!! With Saturday being the official start to summer, Gary & I are taking part in the Rock and Run Boston race – this one is a bit different since there are actual obstacles – here’s hoping my manicure stays intact!! 








Favorite New Find

In an effort to change up some of our sides, I picked up this quinoa mix and it was amazing!! Talk about the easiest side ever, just add water and some olive oil! We paired it with fish to make a super easy weeknight meal!

Favorite Mail Day

Some of you on Instagramsaw that my mom sent me some amazing Michael Kors wedges, but what I didn’t show was the perfect red/orange dress to wear those shoes with!! The dress has gold and black accents to perfectly match the shoes! Can’t wait to sport this little number!! 


Favorite New Beauty Buy



I was in need of a new BB or CC cream and wanted to try something new – so I picked up Stila CC cream! The finish is pretty great! I’ll report back to whether it’s a good buy! 




Favorite Workout 


My workout schedule was sort of all over the place this week; some cardio, a pure barre class and then some at home workouts! It’s pretty obvious that these girls make working out at home easy – and I just love going to their channeland searching through all their routines! 

Favorite Look of the Week

How amazing does Keri Russelllook in her leather mini and casual top for Coach’s annual summer party?! And that pop of color on the lips – this would make the perfect date night/GNO outfit!! 

Before I head out for the weekend I just want to take a moment to thank you all for the positive feedback for the B~Inspired Series that I’ve started. I have always been surrounded by strong, independent and crazy brilliant women – even more so now that I started blogging! I look forward to bringing you more inspiration in the coming months! 

Hope to see you back here on Monday with your Weekending recaps!!

    Those shoes are amazing, and I love them with that dress, so chic.

    You are going to rock out the race. Obstacles make them more fun, at least that's what I think. Can't wait to hear how awesome you both run :)!

    Oh Felicity….one of my favorite characters! πŸ™‚

    The dress and wedges are amazing! That will look great on you. I used to love stila's lip glosses.(just haven't bought one in a while) I bet that cream is awesome. Love Kerri's look. That outfit is the perfect base for a bright lipcolor! XO Have a great weekend girl, we head to the beach tomorrow!

    I had to do a double take to see if that was actually Kerri Russel! She looks great & I'm with you on her entire outfit + her lip color! Your new wedges are gorgeous, and that does look like the perfect dress to go with them! I hope you guys have a great time at the run this weekend! Obstacles sound pretty intense πŸ™‚

    hey cutie pie πŸ™‚ happy friday.

    That quinoa looks really good – I like quinoa but it taste kind of bland and boring, however that box looks like it adds a lot of flavor. Also, the outfit of the week is cute also, I just wish I could wear horizontal stripes πŸ™ I look way too big with those though. Have a great weekend.

    Hey Biana! I love the MK wedges and they will look fantastic with that red orange dress! My brother in law has serious food allergies to lots of processed ingredients so I will pass along this brand and maybe it's one more (quick) thing he can integrate into his diet. Looking forward to linking up with you again next week! xo
