Friday Favorites | First of February


Happy Friday lovelies!! The days sort of mushed together, but I did enjoy a mid-week change of pace and went home with my sister to see the three little loves of my life – my nieces and nephew! If you follow on SnapChat (@blovedboston) you may have seen some of the shenanigans!! We’ve got a fully loaded weekend and I seriously need to get down to business and pack! Trip starts in exactly ONE week, but before that happens sharing my favorites and linking up with Amanda and April





Favorite Recipe


When Ashley shared these bacon cheddar crackers I knew what I would be making to snack on this weekend – hello perfect Super Bowl appetizer! 



Favorite Purchase


I didn’t really have any good walking shoes that weren’t sneakers and when I stopped into Marshall’s last weekend I found these Michael Kors beauties (updated style linked here)! They are incredibly comfortable – I got to break them in with our unseasonably warm temps on Monday and I can’t wait to wear them again! 



Favorite DIY


I have about 4 different notepads going at the same time at work and really want something that is centralized for tasks that have to be done every day or reminders! Finding a cute frame and white paper shouldn’t be that hard to give this DIY a whirl! 



Favorite Book Turned Movie




So I admit, when I read the synopsis for Me Before You, I wasn’t really too keen on in, but after watching the trailer – I’ve promptly downloaded it and can’t wait to devour! Have you read it? No spoilers please πŸ™‚



Favorite Links




//Architectural Digest shared a peek inside Khloe & Kourtney’s homes and oh my gosh did they not disappoint!! I love how both of them have such different, but amazing styles! 


// With Valentine’s Day coming up I found this article a great read on how to keep romance alive

Hope you have a great weekend!! Stop by Monday for Weekending!

    HAHA, seriously LOLing about that intro graphic – so true. Wine rhymes with everything right?! And I didn't like the premise of Me Before You either but LOVED the book – and there's a second one, Me After You. I had no idea the first was being turned into a movie …
