Friday Favorites Round Up

This week flew by, mostly because it was jam packed, but I’m not complaining! I’m linking up with Amanda and Liz to share some of my favorites floating around the internet this week!! 



Favorite Recipe

As it gets warmer here I start thinking about meals that include “warmer” weather ingredients like avocados and salsa!! This Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos recipe looks delicious! 

Favorite Tutorial

I have been all about trying to take better photos not only for the blog but for Instagram too! I’ve been searching for tutorials and really like this one from Thirteen Thoughts! Her photos are just gorgeous! 

Favorite Outfit

I’ve been reading Sequins & Things for quite some time and always love when I see a fellow Jacksonville girl blogging! I love Haley’s outfits and love all the pastel hues of this one! 

Favorite Quote

I think after featuring Adrienne as this month’s B~Inspired Gal, I’m full of excitement and anticipation and this quote pretty much sums it all up in a nutshell! 

Favorite Links

//35 Beauty Superstars under the age of 35

//The complete Lily for Target collection was seen this week

//Home Goods had three bloggers style their perfect offices– swoon worthy for sure

// In case you missed it – I shared 6 must have beauty items on Wedding Party

I definitely need to get my packing done this weekend and few other things to get ready for a trip next week!! I’ll see you back here Monday for Weekending and hope you have a great weekend!

    Those tacos look amazing. Perfect with a margarita! And I love that pastel outfit, too. Usually, I kind of stay away from pastels but that one is an exception! Happy weekend!!

    Love the photo tips, and I always love a good soft taco, too! The pastel colors are my favorites now that it's warming up a bit (some days) and feeling more like Spring. I'll definitely be adding more into my wardrobe in the coming weeks!
    Hope you have a great weekend friend!!!

    There's so much I want from the Lilly collab. I totaled it up and it comes to $500. Haha. I'll have to scale back. Topping my wish list: the pineapple serving bowl and the teak beach chairs. Can't. Wait.

    Thank you so much for linking that tutorial on brighter photos. That has been something I've been trying to work on for awhile. Getting to know my DSLR better and learning the tricks. But, it does seem slightly overwhelming. I LOVE pretty photos and need to find the time to sit down and dig deep into learning more about how to take them. I already took away some great tips from that post. On a side note, I want those tacos stat!!
