Hello friends! Happy Friday! What’s happening this weekend? We’re here in the Big Apple and loving every minute of it! I’ll be back with a recap next week, but we love the shows, the sights, and all the delicious food here. I’d love to hear what you’re doing!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Favorites Party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites, so feel free to shout out something you like in the comments section below.
Fall manicure! I am SO excited. Animal print is back. <– my favorite color
10:10 a.m. Friday Favorites
Fashion + beauty + random:
Fall fun! I feel like as soon as the kids start school, we hit the ground running and don’t really stop until the last day. Fall is full of fun events and we’ve had lots of time with friends, family, and a few trips sprinkled in.
My friend Amy threw a Faux Fall girls’ party a few weekends ago, and it was epic. We had wine tasting, festive Jell-o shots (totally recreating them for Halloween), and a delicious dinner with the most gorgeous table and setup.
We also organized Liv’s school auction, with a Spanish theme. I tried to dress accordingly 🙂
(The dress is from RTR Unlimited and reminds me of the dancing emoji; I’ve rented it before and I love it, so I decided to do it again! This link gives you 50% off your first month of subscription. I love it for vacations, events and travel.)
They had live flamenco, paella and tapas, as well as a silent and live auction. We ended up sneaking in a little early and headed to the Maverick to line dance and two-step to the sounds of a live band. That was all.
BuyMy! SO many of my designer friends have switched to BuyMy from LTK. TBH, I always have trouble switching to a different technology. This seems so overwhelming to me and the idea of starting a new store and account seemed intimidating. My friends assured me that it was worth it because it’s much more user-friendly, and they were TOTALLY right. Even when I browse my friends’ links, I definitely prefer the ShopMy experience. Please take a look at my store and let me know what you think!
September favorites!
It’s always fun to look back and see which products I’ve shared here on the blog that you liked the most.
Here are the bestsellers for the month of September:
The best decaffeinated coffee (and I’ve tried so many). This is treated Swiss water, laboratory tested to be free of mold (many coffee shops are high in mold!) and remineralized. Check it out here – my code is FITNESSISTA
One of my all-time favorite Anthropologie dresses. The fit is so flattering and I love that they always have new patterns and fabrics.
This sleeveless maxi dress is the perfect transitional piece for fall.
These are out of stock but fingers crossed they come back!
The best apartments in the whole country! Size up – I usually wear 38 and 39 is perfect
Our must-have shoe spray. I spray every new shoe that comes into our house with this. This helps keep them clean much longer. Usually girls throw away their shoes within a week, and it was a game changer.
The multivitamin protein powder I drink every day. (My code is FITNESSISTA10)
The best anti-red light mask. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started using it. (Code FITNESSSISTA15)
Read, watch, listen:
I’m currently listening to this. I’ll do a post about this soon, but we’ve been revamping our budget and spending habits significantly, and books like this have motivated me to stick with it. (My shopping habits are down and my travel habits have gone from completely unbalanced to more strategic.)
The Voice! I haven’t looked at it in years but was looking for something light while I walked around on the treadmill. It’s SO good, and my all-time favorite Michael Bublé is one of the judges. It’s just a feel-good show and it reminded me why I enjoyed it so much years ago.
Don’t miss this podcast episode dedicated to peptides and GLP-1 here.
