So while I realize that not everyone is a fan of Tofu, myself previously included, I stumbled upon this recipeand we tried it for dinner, but instead of noodles, we did a stir fry with rice and it was delicious!! Honestly I would have never guessed I was eating tofu!! For those wondering – Gary is a huge fan!!

My friend Erica has been telling me for the longest time that I needed to start watching Jane the Virgin on the CW…well the fact that it was on the CW sort of turned me off, but then Gina Rodriguez won best actress in a comedy series at the Golden Globes and I decided to start watching!! It is hilarious and set to be like a Telenovella! Give at least one episode a chance and you’ll be happy you did!!

I stumbled upon this quote earlier this week and just fell in love with it – does that ever happen to you!? You read something and it just really makes sense to you at that moment in your life?!

This week I opted to find looks that I could actually wear/pull off instead of finding a celebrity look that stood out!! Loved both of these looks mostly for a great date night outfit!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and see you back here on Monday for Weekending!
xo,
Lucky you, with the three day weekend. We don't get a day off until Memorial day, so I just take lots of vacay, haha!
I'm loving those outfits, lady. You have SUCH an eye for style! And thanks for the tips for packing a rolling back. Since I've gone to Texas and Ft Worth the past two weekends, I've been living in a carryon. New pacing tips always help, right?
Happy weekend, fabulous friend!
I'm SO excited for the 3 day weekend as well! Time to relax or get things done, or a nice combo of both!
I'm super intrigued by your tofu recipe, especially if Gary liked it too! I may have to try it! I've totally stumbled across quotes that just resonate with me! Your outfit choices are super fabulous, just like you! Can't wait to see how you recreate them if you do! Have a great weekend girl!!
I'm so jealous of everyone with three day weekends! I love both of those looks! Casual but cute. I've been hearing a lot about Jane the Virgin as well… might have to check it out soon! Enjoy your long weekend 🙂
Yay for an extra day this weekend! And I love both of those outfit inspirations. Amen to the quote. I find quotes all the time that speak to me… too many of them, maybe!
Yay for long weekends! I love the outfits you featured on here, and will have to recreate them as well!

I've been meaning to check out Jane the Virgin because I've also heard good things about it – may be the perfect long weekend activity! And that recipe looks delish! Have a great weekend! xoxo, – M @ The Sequin Notebook
That tofu does look really good! I've never tried it before, but I might have to! That quote is one of my favorites that I often remember and apply to my own situation. Happy Friday!!
I love that feeling when something just clicks with something, I've had that with a book. Like I was supposed to see it, read it, know it, feel it. The 13 thoughts is hilarious! I've been working out at home to avoid the January rush.
I didn't know Jane the Virgin already started, I was hoping to catch it when it premiered *womp womp*. And YES for a long weekend, I'm so glad I'm finally at a job that gives me this Monday off… much needed!
Happy Friday gurlie 🙂
No three day weekend this weekend, but next Monday I'm off again and I love my Mondays off, Enjoy!! I love the re-create outfits you chose! Have a great three day weekend!!
Jealous of your long weekend!! I've never watched Jane the Virgin, I always though the previews looked dumb but maybe I'll give it a chance now. Love both of those outfits! I think I need to try to recreate them too! Happy Friday love!!
JTV is on my list to watch one of these days! she was adorable and humble in her speech. totally won me over.
I’ve been meaning to put together a post on packing a carry on suitcase! I can’t remember the last time I’ve checked one. I loved Gina’s speech at the GG and definitely want to watch an episode!
i have jane the virgin waiting on hulu! i need to watch it soon 🙂 xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Hope you have a great long weekend! 🙂 That food looks amazing.

Happy Friday!!! That recipe looks good but I don't know how I feel about the Tofu. I'm not a huge fan of it. The quote is so cute, I need to get cute things for my little cube at work. It's so bland. I am really starting to love the ripped jeans, I have been rockin' mine all the time since I got them from Express. Have a fantastic weekend 🙂
You know, that was the main reason I didn't want to watch Jane the Virgin, either. The CW is not my first thought for great TV — I'll have to give it a chance. I'm glad you tried tofu! I am a meat-eater, but it adds a nice surprise to dinner. It just has to be flavored right and that recipe looks delish! Happy 3 day weekend!

I was very intrigued when I saw you pin that tofu recipe but I figured Nick would hate it – glad to see Gary didn't!! I might have to give it a try now! Happy Friday! 🙂
You know, when you're out of the official workplace, one totally forgets when national holidays are! MLK used to be a fav since it's just a nice little three day weekend thrown in to brighten a January… I love tofu, but it has to be cooked right! That looks delicious. Totally giving it a try 😉
I love those outfits – they need to be recreated!! I'm glad you liked the tofu, it can be so hit or miss! Hope you have a great (long!) weekend love!
You always find the best outfit inspiration! I've never heard of Jane the Virgin but it sounds hilarious! Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday! Enjoy your long weekend, lucky! Loving those outfits 🙂 Winks and Eyerolls
I have had that same thought/moment when seeing a quote too. So funny when that happens!! Love both of those outfits and I think that they would look fabulous on you. That recipe sounds good too, maybe I'll try it some time. I will have to check out that show too, especially since that actress is from Chicago! 🙂 I hope that you're having a good day so far and I hope that you have a wonderful long weekend lady!!
I'm so excited that my office is closed on Monday. January is flying by. Thanks for posting the packing tips. I so need them as I'm traveling soon. Have a great weekend.
LOVE those outfits – you would look killer in either one! I am itching to start watching Jane the Virgin now, too because of her Golden Globes win. Even better that now someone I know can attest to the fact that it's a good show! Enjoy your long weekend, girl!
I am so thrilled to have a three day weekend. After watching the golden globes I feel like I need to give Jane the Virgin a try. I'm home sick today so I will check it out! Hope you have a great weekend!
I was wondering about Jane the Virgin! That tofu recipe looks amazing. Have a great weekend!
Cheers to a three day weekend friend! I am so looking forward to it too. I love the leather jacket look. And I totally know what you mean about quotes that just fit perfectly. I love the "Don't quit your daydream" one and need to get a print of it. Hope you have a fab weekend!
love that print. and those outfits are so so cute. happy weekend chica! hope it's a great one! xoxo

that tofu dish looks really good. i used to eat it a lot and would always do a sesame ginger or sriracha marinade. i also like using tofu for "egg" scrambles with cumin, turmeric, cayenne, etc. happy weekend!
Happy long weekend!
Love the favourite quote, very motivational. Loved the recipe too, looks great!

I just love Jane The Virgin! And I was shocked when she picked up that award! Here I was worried that another show I love will probably not get picked up for a second season and she's winning a Golden Globe! So happy you are watching it now! 🙂 Happy Friday!

Haven't watched Jane the Virgin yet but might have to start watching! The outfits are fab of course! And super jealous that you have a long weekend! Desperately needing one of those! Happy Friday, girl!

Looove those outfits! I've never been a tofu fan but I'm drawn to that picture! Happy long weekend! xo
Jealous of your 3 day weekend! The gifs about working out in january is making me LOL! My cardio class yesterday was so packed, I'm ready for it to clear out again ahah!

Believe it or not, I really enjoy CW shows. Supernatural is one of my favorites, and I used to be really into Vampire Diaries until I lost cable and got Dish. I'm currently diving into Smallville because I never saw the full series. It's been so much fun. The music is all stuff from when I was in high school (Ex: Sum 41, Blink 82, etc.) I'm totally going to check the show you mentioned out once it comes out on DVD. 🙂
Enjoy the long weekend!
those outfits are super cute! and i have been wanting to try tofu for so long so thank you for that recipe! it looks so simple and KC will definitely like it (I hope lol). That post with the gifs for gymming in january was so hilarious and true! have a good weekend!
I want a 3 day weekend!! I'm not a huge tofu fan either, even though my husband likes it! But maybe I'll give that recipe a try! Have a great weekend!

Super jealous of your long weekend! Ah, I wish I had Monday off. I'm tempted to start watching Jane the Virgin, but am probably watching too much TV already.
That quote is the background on my computer!! Love it! Happy Friday friend! Enjoy your long weekend!
No long weekend here. Enjoy!
I was wondering about Jane the Virgin.
I am so intrigued by the tofu recipe!! If only I could convince Eric to give it a try!!
I'm jealous of your 3 day weekend.
I have been trying to get everyone to watch Jane the Virgin… isn't it great!!! So cheesy & fun… & cute!
Woo hoo for a long weekend! I've never seen that show, I'm going to have to check it out 🙂
I really love that outfit on the right!
I have been loving ClassPass! Life in Synergy is one of my faves… check it out!

Ok that tofu dish actually looks really good! Not sure I can convince the hubby that we need to try tofu, but I will definitely try.
I have heard so many people talk about Jane the Virgin. I may have to watch a few episodes this weekend.
Have a great long weekend my dear!
xoxo
I always thought tofu was totally gross until I tried it in my Pad Thai and now I love it. I've never made it myself before but I would definitely make the recipe you posted. It looks tasty and not too difficult.
I love tofu! Just the prep sometimes is annoying but once you get all the water out of it and marinate soooooooo good! I heard really great things about that show I think I may have to DVR it. Hope you have a fabulous weekend love!
I have never cooked tofu but that recipe looks amazing! I love that black leather look too!! Have a fabulous weekend lady!!
That quote is so perfect and we're going to have to try that tofu recipe. It sounds delicious. We've heard good things about Jane but haven't started watching, we'll have to give it a try now. Happy weekend love!

I love tofu, thanks for sharing a new recipe to try! Yum!
I wish I liked tofu– though I've never tried it like that, which actually looks kind of good. I'm so behind on TV shows right now, but I'm intrigued to see that show after she won. I need to check out that packing article- I'm the worst with packing!
yes it does a lot.. atimes i just feel its like a sign to know the next step… melodyjacob1.blogspot.com/2015/01/rings-and-tings.html
Yay for a 3-day weekend! I've been hearing about Jane the Virgin and hadn't really thought about watching it, but I think I might have to give it a go. I love any show that makes me laugh. I also love that quote. My goal for the year is to do less dreaming and more doing, so it's perfect!
Loving your faves for the week! I want to try that tofu recipe and love that quote too! I work this weekend but I'll be home Monday with all the kids so we will have one family day! Xo
You had me at tofu! I don't know why, but I love it. No one else in the house will eat it with me. Great post! Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Xoxo,

If tofu is prepared right it's seriously amazing. Thanks for sharing that recipe! Some serious heart eye emojis going on over here over that leather jacket outfit. Love!
I'd be interested to watch Jane the Virgin too!
Whoa! That tofu looks delicious! (there's a sentence I never thought I'd say!) lol
I've heard great things about Jane the Virgin too, plus Gina is adorable! I think I need to watch and episode, although the last thing I need is another TV to add to the rolling list of things we watch haha 😉
I am not a huge tofu fan but that looks really good. I like it in certain things but I am also sensitive to soy so I don't eat much of it. Yay for 3 day weekends… I need it!
Jane the Virgin is hilarious and I love how the show is set up….enjoy your Friday!
I tried to watch Jane the Virgin and couldn't get into it. Maybe I should give it a go! Happy Friday!
Ooo, fun, enjoy your long weekend! We don't get Monday off boo!! 😉 I love that quote, so true! And love the looks you picked out, those are so cute and definitely doable!
HUge tofu fan myself but only if it's done right!! Have a wonderful weekend— love those cute looks!!
Thank JESUS it's a long weekend! Trey used to be on a tofu kick. It was really good sliced thinly and stacked in place of lasagna noodles. The crispier, the better, otherwise, and yours looks great! Enjoy the 3 day break from the grind!
Tofu can be kinda gross if it's not cooked or prepared with care, but done correctly it's SO good! I'm glad you liked it 🙂 have a great long weekend!
That pregnancy pee stick is awfully close to her face lol. And I definitely need to check out those travel tips- I'm the world's worst packer!! Have a great weekend 🙂
Love, Love, Love your outfit inspirations! Can't wait to link back up with you on Monday! Xo, Stephanie
Hi. I just found your blog. I am from the Boston area (from Lynn), but live in NH now. My parents are still there.

Ohhhh I love those outfits!!! And that quote is so true and a great reminder on off days for sure!!!
That recipe looks delicious!!! I have had tofu off of the hot bar at whole foods and actually enjoyed it so I wouldn't be above trying some at home. Especially in a recipe like that.
Have a great weekend!
i would've never guessed that was tofu! if i made it in our house, i'd have to lie to lee then tell him later! haha 🙂
For a split second I thought that was pork belly and pasta and I almost lost it, and ran to the store to get the ingredients. But it's tofu….. Deep sigh… Don't know if I could do it.
I hadn't heard of Jane the Virgin until the Golden Globes (#AustraliaProblems) but iris on my list of shows to watch this week.
I'm obsessed with prints right now! I'm trying to figure out a gallery wall in my house. Love that one! Hope you are having a good weeekend, Biana!
Love your idea of friday favourites! Enjoyed reading yours and mine are very similar, especially the quote xoxo Check out my new blog post! I'm in need of some followers, thank you! X xbeyoutifulx.blogspot.co.uk
Jane the Virgin is so fun, we don't watch it every week but I do love it!! Those outfits are super cute, Rachel Parcel is one of my favorites!!! Hope you have a lovely Sunday!!
