Happy Friday friends! Has this week felt long or what?! I’m so excited to be linking up with Amanda and April, especially since I wasn’t able to share my favorites last week! I’m also really excited to finally meet Kate this weekend since she’s going to be here for just one night! Here are some of my favorites this week!

I like lettuce wraps, but struggle with what to put in them – that was until I found this recipe for Baked Asian Chicken Meatball lettuce wraps! I can’t wait to make these soon! I might not even have time to put them in the lettuce and eat them as is!

I saw a blogger on instagram sporting these loafers and I had to have them! They come in 6 different colors and I’m happy I was able to scoop up the pink ones before they sold out in my size- you can’t beat the price of $21!!! If you’re like my mom you’re probably wondering – what are you going to wear that with? Well…jeans, pants – really anything that will allow me to wear them so yes even leggings haha!

I was flipping through US Weekly and saw this book as a must read – I’ll admit the cover is what got me hooked first. I started reading on Monday and finished by Thursday – could not put it down! Maybe in Another Life is such a differently written book. You have Hannah a 29 year-old at a cross roads in her life and moving back to the only home she’s ever known in LA. The book alternates chapters by her choosing one path over the other and it’s really fascinating because you find yourself pulling equally for both lives. I’ll just end this very brief review by saying – I cried…I read the last page of the acknowledgements the author wrote and I cried! It was as good on the last page as it was on the first!

File this one away for get’s stuck in your head and you end up bopping to it all day long!! P.S. How gorgeous does Demi Lovato look in the video!

//Anything that doesn’t require oven time is a winner in my book – these no bake cake batter truffles look delicious!
//How do you feel about matching sets? I sort of love them!
//I dished on my love for Jillian Harris a few weeks ago and looks like Lauren Conrad agrees because she has an interview on her site this week!
Happy weekend friends!! See you back here Monday for Weekending!
How fun you get to meet Kate this weekend! I already chatted with her about how I want to crash the paryt, hahaha. Darn flights not being cheap enough on the fly. Have a great time!
Those shoes look amazing, I am totally checking them out. I had no idea matching sets were on trend, does that mean mixing patterns is out again? I actually loved that trend!
Adding that book to my reading list, it sounds like something right up my alley. As do those truffles, give me all the truffles! Happy Friday, pretty!
I am so happy you got the loafers, they are so cute! And yay for meeting Kate this weekend. I'm jealous! I think I definitely need to make those truffles this weekends, I've been craving something sweet! Have a great weekend doll!

I admire people who can pull of loafers, but that is NOT me!! I think my arches are way too high for them to look even somewhat normal 🙂
I think I may have to get some of those loafers! So cute and very affordable!!
Those meatballs look so so good!
YUM those Asian Chicken Meatball lettuce wraps look amazing!
i have not stopped listening to that song since the day it came out. crazy good.
That book sounds so cool, I must read that. Thanks for sharing!

OMG those loafers! I thought for sure I was going to click on them and they'd be too expensive– EEK! Treating myself right NOW!!
I'm pretty sure I would be one to eat the meatballs without the lettuce lol, but those loafers are super and my favorite PINK!, Demi has definitely transformed and she look great, one of my favorite songs at the moment too.

I have identical loafers… from Old Navy lol. Same color, too! Love that no-bake recipe and a good book rec is always appreciated, lady! Happy weekend 🙂
Those loafers are fabulous they are the most perfect pink Fall color. I am all about the no bake ideas and those look so good. That book definitely sounds like something I would read. Yeah for blogger meet up! Have a fabulous weekend love!

I love no-bake treats! Thank you for sharing. I bake cookies sometimes, but baking is not my favorite.
Those loafers are adorable! $21 is a great deal! You have convinced me to read Maybe In Another Life-sounds like such a great book! Those no bake truffles look amazing too! Have a great weekend! 🙂
So awesome that you get to me Kate!!!! Those lettuce wraps and the cake batter truffles both look so amazing. Totally pinning those for later! Those loafers are so cute, and of course, pink in my size is gone. I have some black ones like that already…and nude Sperrys so I guess I don't need any of the other colors haha. Hope you have a great weekend!
That book sounds so interesting! So funny, but I was just driving home, thinking how much I love Demi's new song! It's such a fun, Summer song 😉

Stop it!! I saw the "designer version" of those pink loafers and knew I couldn't budget for them, but $21 is AMAZING!! Crossing my fingers they come back in my size! 🙂
Give me those lettuce wraps, they look amazing! Have an awesome weekend! Xo, Stephanie
This may be my favorite friday favorites post yet! Lettuce wraps look amazing…that book has me intrigued and I'm totally downloading that song! Have a great weekend.
And oh my goodness is Jillian not the cutest?? I watch her on HGTV but honestly have never been a bachelor series watcher so I had no clue!! She is adorable.
Those shoes for THAT price?!!! Oh my gosh!!! I NEED those. & yes, I freaking love Jillian!! She's perfection.
Yay for a blate! And those shoes are adorable! I am definitely going to start reading that book tonight! Happy Weekend, lady! xo
Love that song 😀

Thos loafers are adorable, I may need to add them to my closet as well lol!
Jillian is one of my faves, loved reading her interview 🙂

Oooh I am definitely gonna need to try making that Baked Asian Chicken Meatball lettuce wraps. That looks amazing!
That book sounds really interesting! What a clever way to write! I have similar pink loafers but they are the UGG slippers – and I TOTALLY wear them out of the house still! Also, I need those cake batter truffles in my life STAT.
Those shoes are so cute! I love the way they look on other people but I feel like they totally do not suit me at all. Maybe I just need help styling them! The hot pink and soft pink ones are adorable.
That book sounds so good!
