Friday Favorites | Long Weekend Ahead


Hello lovelies and Happy Friday!! It’s a great day indeed since we’re on the brink of a long weekend! I wont even waste any time, let’s just get right into the favorites this week! 





Favorite Workout//




I recently downloaded the 7 Minute Workout App (it’s free) and I can’t get enough of it! Often times if I’m not taking a class, then I do cardio and weights on my own, but it doesn’t feel like enough! With this little sequence you get a great sweat going and it only takes 7 minutes. There are two other variations that cost .99 to unlock, but I haven’t tried them yet! 









Favorite Song//




I have been listening to Ed Sheeran’s “Bloodstream” non-stop since Sunday when he performed it at the Billboard Music Awards. If you don’t like the live version – you can hear the radio edits here





Favorite Purchase//


Over the weekend I traded in my FitBit and purchased the Anne Klein “Fashion Fit” watch. My biggest gripe with my FitBit was that it wasn’t fashionable, it didn’t have a watch component and honestly I didn’t want to buy the Tory Burch accessories to go with it so that I could wear it while I was out and not feel like it didn’t match! 


It has all the same capabilities as every other fitness tracker and does have an app that goes with it. I’m seriously obsessed! I bought it in the black and gold variation but it comes in pink, white, and blueif you don’t like the black. The fitness tracker itself pops out so you can swap out the gold bangle when you are getting dressed up or wear it with the silicone base for workouts or any other activity! As I said – I’m pretty much in love with an object! 





Favorite Nordstrom Sale Picks//




The best part of the Nordstrom sale is that it’s running through May 31st…that’s a lot of shopping that you can do – not quite sure if it’s a good or bad thing yet! You can click on any of the photos to see price or go directly to the link! 








Favorite Links//

// In theory thistwisted up-do looks easy enough – lots of effort, but looks so pretty


// Loved this interview with Lauren Scruggs – she’s such a great inspiration


// All your work email etiquette questionsare answered 




I hope you all have a wonderful and safe long weekend!! No weekending post on Monday, but the link will be live on Monday and Tuesday for those that still want to share the weekend happenings!!

    That Ann Klein fitness tracker is amazing. I love that it's actually a watch and isn't just a band. GREAT pick, lady! And love your Nordstrom picks too, especially that pink bag.

    Hope you have a fabulous weekend, beautiful friend!

    Ed's performance was EVERYTHING! I just love him and his voice so much. I love the idea of a quick 7 minute workout instead of jumping on my phone or computer when I have a little extra free time! Thanks for sharing!! Have a great weekend girl!!

    I will have to check out the 7 minute workout app. The watch is a great option and much more pretty. Happy Friday!

    That twisted updo is so pretty, I need to get more adventurous with my hair. And I'll certainly have to check out that workout app. I could use the motivation this week.

    A 7 minute workout? Sign me up!! haha And YES to that watch! That is the main thing I dont like about the Fitbits. You notice them in pictures where you're dressed up and fancy, and then this THING is on your wrist that totally doesn't go. Love that watch and all the variations!
    I hope you have a fabulous long weekend friend!!

    That Ann Klein fitness watch is adorbs!! That 7 minute work out sounds like something I need to be doing too, I can't really justify not having 7 minutes for a workout! That's awesome! Have a great Long weekend girl!!

    What a fabulous post, B!! Thanks for sharing the 7 minute workout app! Sounds fantastic!! Loving your new fashion fit watch! I'd never seen it before and have been considering getting a fit bit…this watch would be a much more stylish way to go! Great picks from the Nordstrom sale too! Enjoy a lovely Memorial Day weekend, sweets! xo – Brenda // Chatting Over Chocolate

    Ooh I love that Anne Klein tracker! I think that's been the biggest thing with me not getting a Fitbit… I think they're ugly haha. This one is SO much cuter! Can't wait to hear how you like it!

    May 22, 2015 / 2:11 pm

    Wow gorgeous watch! Can't believe that's a tracker as well. May have to check out that 7 minute work out, with a toddler around that just may be enough time for me to get a decent workout without having to worry what my child is doing for in the 7 minutes it takes me to do one!

    Love the fitness tracker- and the app. I'll have to download and see if I can spare 7 minutes of couch-sitting to try! 🙂

    Great roundup this week, girl! That fitness app is being downloaded as we speak, and I'm super intrigued by the Ann Klein fitness tracker since the only reason that I haven't bought a FitBit is because it isn't stylish! I loved that Lauren Scruggs interview – she's so inspiring. Have a great holiday weekend!

    That Anne Klein fitness watch is incredibly fashionable! I totally agree with your opinion about the Fit Bit. Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

    LOVE that watch! I've been looking for a fitness tracker, but really didn't want the normal bright neon fitbit. I'll have to check that one out. Have a great weekend!

    Ooooh, downloading that app now! The crunches would be a little difficult for me now but I'll just sub in planks or oblique work outs! I'll have to see if I can get Mia to participate in these as well, ha ha!
    Happy weekend!!

    May 22, 2015 / 2:50 pm

    Oh my, I love that Anne Klein one!!! That is the reason I never plunged on another fit bit when my fitbit one stopped working. I hated the way they looked for when you aren't working out. I am seriously considering this one now!!!! That pink drawstring bag is gorgeous! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

    Love that Anne Klein fitness tracker. I currently have my fitbit and my watch and hair ties all on my left wrist and would love to combine my watch and fitness tracker to something cute like that.

    May 22, 2015 / 2:57 pm

    Ooo, I need to look at that 7-min workout app! And cute Anne Klein watch! I always have thought that about FitBit too – not cute, remind me of those LiveStrong-style bracelets everyone was wearing a few years ago! Have a GREAT long weekend lady! xx

    Love those orange studs! I have them from Stella & Dot and wear them ALL the time! Happy weekend!

    I like that my fitbit also acts like a caller id and will show me who calls my phone. I wonder if the Anne Klein has that capability? Have a great weekend 🙂

    I love my fitbit, but the appearance is definitely one of my biggest gripes about it! And I just can't bring myself to spend the $$ on the Tory Burch accessories. I love the Anne Klein watch – such a better alternative! Hope you have a great long weekend! xoxo

    I used to use that 7 minute app too! Then I got lazy and deleted it and forgot about it hahah but it was great and definitely a way to squeeze in workouts when you don't think you have time. And I had no idea that watch existed, but it sounds like it would be a great option! Have a wonderful long weekend!
