I’m so excited it’s Friday because my mama is coming back from Paris and making a pit-stop in Boston for the night!! Not only have I not seen her since February but I haven’t been able to have our daily (3 or more times a day) chats since she’s been in France and it’s been driving me bananas!!
Onto my favorites of the week!!
Favorite Song
I don’t even know how I found this song – but this has a summery vibe and puts me in a good mood! Fun fact – in high school I was beyond obsessed with Sublime and this band totally reminds me of them!
Favorite Ode to Mama
Kevin Durant gave the best MVP speech – not only because he was so humble about the honor – but he thanked everyone under the sun for everything they did to get him where he is! At the 3:30 mark he starts talking about his mom and it’s just so pure and honest – you have to love it!!
Favorite Look of the Week
Jennifer Lopez wore this ASOS dress on American Idol and looked amazing (as always). Best part it’s only $85!! I mean how does she look so put together with a messy bun!! And even if you don’t like her (which I’m not sure how that’s possible) she is insanely beautiful!
Favorite Nail Color
I painted my nails this OPI color: On The Same Paige

Favorite Mom (DUH!!)
Words will never do justice to the amazing woman that I am lucky enough to call my mom. She is without a doubt the most selfless human being that I know & will ever know! Beyond being the most wonderful mother she is also a fabulous daughter, wife and sister. I’m so thankful for her…she’s just the best!!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas & soon to be mamas!!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
xo,

That picture of you and your mom gave me chills 🙂 Ummmmm we totally are soul sisters I was debating using that exact song #soulsisters
I absolutely love it! Doesn't it have the cool Summer vibe to it? I love JLo in that pic! I need to know about those shoes! Awwwww Kevin Durant! What a great video! I was watching it and Mark was telling me all about it….see man approved!

Aww so sweet about your mum Im the same way with mine! Also dont hate me but I hated JLO's shoes with that dress although she is rocking the dress big time!
Haha! That is way too funny because in highschool I was obsessed with Sublime and I even had the hoodie to prove it lol! That I wore all the time back then..But thankfully my style has evolved a bit since then. Lol I love ASOS dresses! I am the same way with my mom I call her like 2 times a day at least and she constantly finds reasons to stop over my house! We are only 5 min away though. She is always dropping off goodies from Marshalls! XO Happy Friday!!
Yay! How awesome you get to see your Mum this weekend! 🙂 Mine is coming up for a visit too and I'm so excited! Love that JLo look! And I've had that song on repeat on my Spotify all week! lol I love it's beachy vibe :))
I've heard KD's speech was amazing and I find that so refreshing. In a world of professional ME ME ME athletes, it's nice to hear someone thank someone else besides themselves.
That pink dress is amazing.
I'm so happy you get to see mama this weekend! 🙂
I need to watch that entire KD speech, I've heard amazing things.
Enjoy your weekend 🙂

Happy Friday! Have a great visit with your mom!
I watch American Idol and I love JLO!! I think that you really get to see her real personality on that show and I think that she's awesome. Just got a manicure yesterday and I got one of the colors from OPI's Neon collection, check those colors out. Great picture of you and your mom, and your dress was stunning. Have a great weekend and enjoy your time with your mom too.
Have fun with your mom this weekend!! 🙂
Im loving that photo of you and your mom! So great that you get to have her for a night! That Kevin Durant speech was pretty great
Love that OPI color. I have something very similar on my nails. J Lo looks amazing as always. I hope to look half as good as she does when I'm her age. Have a good weekend with your mom!

Oh I love that you'll get to see your mommy for mother's day 🙂 Seems like you two have a special relationship! Happy Friday!
What perfect timing for your mom to make a little stop & see you! It's so hard not being able to talk to your mom when you're used to talking to her everyday! And that MVP speech was a tear jerker for sure! J LO is SO pretty- she always looks so flawless! I just looked at that street art– Amazing!!
I am so glad you get to see your Mama for Mother's Day weekend! I love JLo and that dress! She is so gorgeous – I swear she gets better looking every year! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! xo

The Kevin Durant speech was so amazing. I wish they were all like that.

Yayyy! So happy you get to spend some time w/ yo mama!!!!! 😀
JLO killed it this week with her fashion on American Idol. Also, that photo of you and your mom on your wedding day is absolutely precious – a moment you will treasure forever! Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful touching photo of you and your Mom! Love the OPI color too, I can buy nail polish everyday and still not have enough lol Hope you have an amazing weekend!!
love that song! playing it now! happy weekend.
Jennifer Lopez has been looking amazing lately! She is gorgeous! Love the OPI color – reminds me of Cajun Shrimp – and love love the picture of you and your mom! So special 🙂
J.Lo is looking so hot! I love that dress. I totally feel you on the trauma that is not being able to have multiple conversations a day with my mom when she is traveling! I love when my parents get to go on vacays, but I can barely function without being able to chat constantly! Hope you had a wonderful time with your mom in town 🙂
Hope you enjoyed reconnecting with your mom! I miss mine so much— even though I saw her a month or so ago! But, it is hard living on the other side of the world…
Meanwhile, love the polish you used. I love that is bright, but also sophisticated….
Ahhh how exciting! Hope you had such a great time with your gorgeous mama!! Speaking of gorgeous – JLo always gets it right. And those links – love them all. Especially the marketing one.
