Friday Favorites Round Up


Happy Friday friends!! I want to thank you all so much for taking the time to do the survey and thank you for continuing to read this little space of mine. I have a lot of new ideas thanks to all your feedback and you’ll be seeing some tutorials and videos very soon! Lets get right to the favorites this week – linking up with Amanda and April






Favorite Breakfast Recipe


We usually have very basic breakfasts on the weekends, but lately I’ve been wanting to dress it up a bit – enter in these heart shaped scones! I’ve actually never made scones from scratch, but they look pretty easy, even for a novice like me! 



Favorite Purchase


I’m a palette lover – I can’t get enough of them and when I spotted the Anastasia of Beverly Hills World Traveler Palette a few months ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about it…so I scooped it up this week – as some of you may have seen on SnapChat (@blovedboston)! The colors are rich and pigmented and my favorite is definitely “intense gaze”, with bellini coming in a close second since it’s my favorite cocktail!   



Favorite New Show


I’m not going to lie, I’ve been watching ABC Family all the time recently and it’s because their line-up of new (and new to me) shows during the last bit of summer has been so great! Including Kevin From Work that just started last week. Episode 2 is even better than the first and the quick humor and one liners always keep me interested in a show. Also loving Young & Hungry



Favorite DIY


I’m not even sure this would be seen as a DIY or more of smart use of space. I came across this articleof how to make the most of your dresser space and love how they used the honeycomb wall shelf for the items that might be a bit harder to store on the dresser. Will be tackling this very soon!

    Scones, yummy! I've always wanted to make them at home too. I've heard you want the butter to be cold so it cuts better, this girl has some great tips [ sallysbakingaddiction.com] and her recipes are amazing!

    I can NOT wait for the movie the Intern. We saw the preview awhile ago in theaters and all of my family wants to see it. De Niro can do no acting wrong! I need to check out the dresser article, the honey combs look so chic and functional!

    HAPPY FRIDAY, GORGEOUS! xoxo

    Oh the honeycomb shelfing is super cute. I like how you can use the top of it to hold stuff too. Probably would work for the bathroom too. I love ABC Family. So many good (feel good) show options.

    Those scones are so cute! I've never made them before either and I'm not sure why because they are supposed to be easy. Dressing up breakfast a bit more on the weekend sounds like a great idea, we're so boring with our Greek yogurt every single day!

    The Intern looks like it's going to be so cute! That palette looks sooo pretty! I don't know if I would wear some of the brighter colors, but it would be nice to have them just in case since all my other shadows are totally neutral!

    I love scones!!!! I grabbed some at Publix last week as a breakfast treat because I just love them so much and rarely ever indulge. How awesome to have a recipe to try them myself! And I love those honeycomb shelves too!!! I think they would be super cute over my nightstand since we have a TV taking up the precious dresser space. Hope you have a great weekend!
