Friday Round Up


Happy Friday loves!! I seriously felt like I blinked and the week was almost over! Not complaining since this is the first weekend I’ll be home in a month – so looking forward to my standard sushi and a movie date tonight! Linking up with Amanda & Aprilto share my favorites – the first of October! 





Favorite Drink Recipe


So we all know that Pumpkin Spice Latte’s are all the rage, but if you’re like me forking over $4-$5 bucks a pop isn’t really worth it- so when Kathleen shared her homemade PSL I was overly excited!! Can’t wait to try this out! 





Favorite New Show

So Fall TV is back in full swing and I watched the premier episodes of Quanitco and Blood & Oil and really liked both, but the show that had me all sorts of happy was Grandfathered with John Stamos! I was almost heartbroken when Fox cancelled The Mindy Project, but the quick whit of the writers for the show is clearly there and I was literally laughing hard at each scene!! I’m a fan!

Favorite Fall Outfit 

I’m looking for inspiration for Fall outfits and of course stumbled upon this gorgeous look from Southern Curls and Pearls – I mean can I just have all of this appear in my closet please?! The cardigan is just gorgeous!

Favorite Purchases

I have not had the chance to actually read a book in a month, but that’s changing this month because I downloadedEverybody Rise & Leave Your Mark. I want something that is going to be professionally motivating, but also entertaining and from what I’ve heard these are books to read! Have you read either of these books?

Favorite Links

//Blanket scarves are all the rage – how are you styling them?

// Paula shared the most comprehensive product photography post I’ve ever seen – it’s a must read! 

//Thebest DIYI’ve seen for pumpkins in a while – might be the one I try! 

TGIF friends!! Hope you all enjoy your weekends!

    I've heard great things about that show, I will have to check it out now that you've recommended it. Love your links, as always, the blanket scarf link is fabulous. Happy Friday, beautiful!

    I forgot to watch Grandfathered! I'm going to have to find it on demand! And I'm not going to lie, I read Everybody Rise and I didn't love it. I just kept getting angry with the main character so I felt like I couldn't relate but it wasn't bad. Definitely going to have to read that product photography article! Happy Friday love! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    How perfect is SC&P?? Her style tends to be a little preppy for me, but at the same time she has so many cute wearable looks for inspiration. And her hair!

    I saw the previews for that show, but didn't get a chance to watch it (or Blood and Oil, or Quantico…I need to hear your thoughts on those), but maybe this weekend I'll try and get caught up!
    I love that fall outfit (she can do no wrong, can she??) and I'd totally be ok if it showed up in my closet too. Twinsies again?? hahah
    Have a great weekend friend–enjoy that yummy sushi tonight!!

    I agree, I have a hard time spending $5 for a PSL so pumpkin spice creamer has been my bff this season! Love, love blanket scarves and need to get my hands on a few more. Have a great weekend staying in town this weekend…aren't those the best?

  23. Trish
    October 2, 2015 / 2:56 pm

    I think the Mindy Project streams new episodes on Hulu, so you can still watch it (if you have hulu lol). I was surprised at how good Quantico is. I think that's my new show of the season! need to try that homemade PSL! Happy Friday! I hope you have a great weekend! Trish – tales from trish

    I've seen the previews for Grandfathered but I have yet to see it, I love John Stamos! I recently became obsessed with How to Get Away With Murder, seriously it's one of my favorite shows now. Also, thank you so much for sharing my photography post, makes me so happy to know that you liked it enough to share it with your readers! Hope you have a great weekend! πŸ˜‰

    October 2, 2015 / 3:04 pm

    Loved Blood & Oil, too – definitely going to check out Grandfathered! I need to get back into reading again, I've been slacking the last couple of weeks. Both of those books sound really good!

    I will have to check out John Stamos's show, sounds like fun!!! The Mindy Project has new episodes on Hulu!!! We are three in and I am loving this season πŸ™‚ Nothing has really changed from going from TV to Hulu. I can see that happening with more shows to be honest. I love that cardigan and that homemade PSL looks fabulous! Hope you have a great weekend!!!

    I recorded Grandfathered and watched it yesterday…i'm going to have to give it a few episodes before I can form an opinion haha. I need to look into that PSL recipe because I feel the same as you. I found a couple on Pinterest so i'm hoping that with one of these i'll find one I like!
