Friday Favorites | The Last for October


Happy Friday friends and happy last Friday of October!! I’m so excited for November – it’s truly one of my favorite month’s of the year!! Linking up with Amanda and April for some favorites!

Favorite Recipe


100% making this Creamy Lemon Skillet chicken this weekend! The recipe sold me when it said everything in one dish!! 






Favorite DIY


Lisa shared this seriously amazing DIY for making your own candles from wine bottles and it was brilliant! I loved rewined candles, but the price tag is not always fun – this is one I will be trying soon! 



Favorite Funny


We have all heard Adele’s new songHello at this point…if not listen to ithere. Well leave it to Ellen DeGeneres to do a spoof of the song and this will seriously leave you giggling hard! 








Favorites I’ve got my eye on 


The absolute last things I need in my closet right now are boots and bags – but for some reason that’s all I seem to gravitate towards!! I saw a girl at the gym wearing this coach bag in a burgundy color and then went to the website and saw they have it in a beautiful olive – yep I can see Gary rolling his eyes already! And these Sorel wedge boots – I seriously need to keep my eye on them because I will scoop them up when they go on sale – they are practical for cold weather, rain & they are cute!

    I have not listened to the new Adele song. I'm not sure I want to. I dont need another song I might possibly love…but I"m sure it's inevitable. I would love to make those candles but I would be too scared to cut the glass. Trish – tales from trish

    i'm SO excited for November, and I'm normally not. but this time it means Disney 😉 and extra time off work is always good! that side dish looks delish – and ooooh that chicken dish had me at creamy and one pan!

    October 30, 2015 / 1:14 pm

    Love that bag! Chris would roll his eyes too haha. That Adele song is really good, I'm also definitely going to listen to Ellen's take on it. She is the best. We sell Sorel boots at Evereve and those wedge boots (we had the Joan of Arc wedge) flew out of the store. A few of the girls who I work with have them and they all love them. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend and I'll check out your new Pinterest page! 🙂

    LOVE that recipe. I am always looking for interesting and easy things to make. Cooking is not my specialty. I also agree with you on those boots. As we approach winter time it's time to ditch my cute little dainty shoes for big ol' boots!

    I love Lisa's DIY too! I told her we have to get together and do it! Ok, I'm making that creamy lemon chicken! I have everything except for the chicken at home already. Seriously like the only things in my fridge are one lemon, heavy whipping cream, fresh parsley. How weird is that?!
