2020 Friday Favorites Week 10

Hello and Happy Friday!

Linking up with Andrea, Narci & Erika for another week of Friday Favorites!

We kicked off our weekend with some Snapchat filter fun!

I thought this one was hilarious!

Me with the baby filter and X with the woman filter.

We are definitely related! lol!

On Saturday Mic and I headed north to the Cleveland Auto Show.

We haven't been there in 7 years!

The last time we were here we were picking out what my future car was going to be - a year later I got a Toyota Highlander.

This time around we were again looking at what my next car might be in a few years.

I didn't take many pictures at all.

I just enjoyed the day with Mic doing something we both actually love!

I actually took this picture for X since they had an area set up where someone was playing Fortnite on the big screen.

On the blog this week I shared my latest Prime Finds.

What I wore to the auto show was my latest PinSpiration recreation.

And I joined a fun new monthly link up called Throwback Thursday!

Look at 3 month old X! 💚💚💚

On the gram this week I shared some random things about me in this post below.

Check it out here and let me know if we are similar :)

It has been Dr. Seuss week at school for X!

On Monday they wore pj's and brought a good book to read, but I totally forgot to take a pictures of him :/

On Tuesday it was wear Green!

They made and tasted green eggs and ham in his class.

Again, I forgot to get a picture of him before school but thankfully his teacher came through (Hey Lindsay!) 😄

Wednesday was backwards/wacky clothes day.
X was super pumped to wear this tee backwards! lol!

Thursday was favorite hat day.

Honestly, he doesn't wear hats that much so he only has a couple of them.

Since I have a huge collection he borrowed one of my favorite hats.

He picked out my AC🗲DC hat and gave me his best rocker face before we drove to school 👅

His teacher came through once again and sent some pics of The Cat in the Hat coming into their classroom to read, share some snacks and even gifted them all a book!

Friday is wacky socks day!
X keeps things super simple with black, white or gray socks every day of his life.
I am sure he will rock some of my silly socks for school tomorrow ;)

Two opportunities to link up with me next!

Good Eats on Tuesday

PinSpiration on Wednesday

Hope you all have a great weekend!

March is one of my favorite months of the year because it is home to one of my favorite holidays of the year falls in...

St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

I decided to go with a green theme for this month in honor of the holiday.

Over the weekend Mic and I decided to hit up the Cleveland Auto Show and I knew I wanted to wear something casual, yet pulled together.

So I turned to my trusty sidekick Pinterest and looked for outfit inspiration for my green military button down.

Jen has styled this top so many ways!

I knew I could recreate this look and feel comfortable all day long.

I got dressed, drove to Cleveland, walked around for a few hours, drove back home, etc., etc.

It wasn't until we were home and ready to change into our comfy clothes for the night that I realized I never took a pic of my outfit :(

I quickly snapped a shot of it without shoes 🙍

I wore my go-to combat boots that day since it was kind of wet and muddy outside.

But that is OK because I made it my own :)

Military Button Down - Similar

Scoop Neck Tee

Black Jeans - Similar

Boots - Similar

Necklace - Similar

That's all for today friends!

Don't forget to link up your style posts below :)

On the blog this week was my monthly link up party called The Feels!
Head here to check it out and get ready to join me next month :)

I styled not one, but two looks in my PinSpiration post this week!

And it's hard to believe that February is over already, but it is.
Check out my February Edition of What's Up Wednesday for all the things we have done, loved, etc.

In other news, it was my mom's birthday yesterday!

Wishing her the absolute best year!

And hoping to celebrate her soon :)

I saw this on Facebook this week and had to share it.
I haven't experienced this yet, but I know it is in my near future :/

Keeping it short and sweet this week!
Hope you have had a great week and enjoy your weekend!

Thanks as always for stopping by today!

What I'm loving...

This is honestly a love/hate thing.

I love this time of year because one of my favorite candies are out right now.

I certainly don't need them, but I can't resist them!

What we've been up to...

Nothing really.

Vegging out at home watching a bit too much TV.

You know it's bad when this TV junkie is admitting that!

What I'm dreading...

Nothing at the moment :)

What I'm working on...

Myself!

Getting my butt back into a good workout schedule since we don't have a million and one activities going on right now.

I'm currently loving the Heather Robertson workouts on YouTube.


What I'm excited about...

I'm always excited about the house to be honest.

Lots of things going on these days and it just makes me excited that we are little by little getting closer to the finish line. 🙏

What I'm watching/reading...

I have been watching so much Netflix these days!

I'm now on the 3rd season of New Girl and still loving it.

Mic and I watched The Stranger, Safe and just finished The Five this past weekend.

Have you watched any of them?

Of course I'm still watching the tried and true shows - This Is Us, A Million Little Things, Blue Bloods, etc.

And I decided to give Katy Keene a try since I loved Lucy Hale on Pretty Little Liars.

I'm not reading anything at the moment, but I did just hit submit order on the following books.

What I'm listening to...

When I'm not listening to New Girl 😉, I am listening to the following songs on replay...

What I'm wearing...

It's still sweater weather around these parts.

Here are a couple of my recent outfits...

What I'm doing this weekend...

Having a girls day/night with some friends, and fingers crossed hitting up the Cleveland Auto Show with Mic (it's one of our favorite things to do together)!

What I'm looking forward to next month...

My second favorite holiday of the year is St. Patrick's Day!

Looking forward too all things green next month!

2020 Friday Faves Week 8

YAY it's Friday!

Linking up with Andrea, Narci & Erika for another week of Friday Favorites!

We kicked off our weekend with a Valentine's Day party at school.
This guy was super pumped to share his Fortnite valentines and bring in his Fortnite treasure chest box 💗

On the blog this week I shared my latest PinSpiration look.

And some super cute home decor for spring in my monthly Let's Stay Home series.

Coming up on Monday is the February edition of The Feels!
Grab the image below and answer the questions based on the past month.
Things go live at 4am EST on Monday!
Share on your blog, Instagram, etc. and tag me or use #thefeels2020

After watching The Stranger and Safe on Netflix by Harlan Coben, Mic and I couldn't resist starting The Five.
This one might be my favorite yet!
Have you watched any of them?
What do you recommend when we finish The Five?

I have been in the mood for a good laugh this week!
Since I'm all caught up on Schitt's Creek, I took the suggestion from a friend and decided to give New Girl a try.
Oh my goodness do I love it!
I have already watched 6 episodes in the first season and I can't wait to watch more!

And that is it for this week!
I am mentally and emotionally drained from this past week.
Bring on the weekend, some more New Girl 😉, and maybe an adult beverage (or two)!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

XOXO ~ Vanessa
