fashion, Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites (Sep 21, 18)

The Greene St Sweater from Piphany is probably my absolute favorite sweater right now! I JUST got two different prints and wore this one Thursday! It’s amazingly soft, stretchy, and looks beautiful worn backwards too! These have just been released in limited prints and will only be up until sold out! You can grab one from my friend Jess Nylen’s Boutique for $44 and FREE SHIPPING!


img_4572-1.jpgThe new Iced Maple Pecan Latte at Starbucks is really yummy! This, not overly sweet, espresso drink is probably going to be my go-to Fall drink!! I got it with half number of syrup pumps and Easy Ice, but honestly, I tried the full syrup one my friend got, and it wasn’t THAT much sweeter than mine. I’ll probably do no whip next time either, but it’s my Friday treat! If you haven’t signed up for the Starbucks Rewards program, you SHOULD, because they have Happy Hour every week on either Thursday or Friday (sometimes Wednesday?) This drink was 50% off!


The Sseko Ring Tote in Syrah, oh me oh my, is the first bag I fell in LOVE with when I first found out about Sseko Designs. The saddest thing now is that once they sell out, they are NOT bringing this style bagback for the next seasons! So, I have two of them and I can’t even begin to describe how unique and stunning they are!

With a removable crossbody strap and brass rings to make it double as a beautiful arm piece, this bag is so chic, high fashion, and versatile! Syrah, named after the color of blending obscure grapes, is one of the gorgeous colors for Fall/Winter 2018. My other one is the all-matching oiled caramel leather. Unlined, so you can see how high quality this ethically sourced leather is, handcrafted by talented Ugandan women, and loved by women all over the world! Ring Totes are $199.99, and worth every penny, especially since all purchases allow Sseko to create more jobs in Uganda and send more women to university! You can check out the other leather totes and the bandanas (Pictured is  Dandelion, Fall/Winter 2018 seasonal print, only $19.99!)


img_3662.jpgHave you ever had watermelon, prosciutto, and mint, topped with a balsamic glaze? I’m drooling already just remembering how delicious this was. Francesca’s Fortunato in Frankfort, IL is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! Rated on average 4.5/5 on many reputable sources, it has some of the best dishes and flavors on your favorite Italian dishes! We love going there whenever we go to Frankfort, usually during Fall Fest on Labor Day Weekend.

Check out their menu here and plan a stop there!


There are only two candle scents that I love above all others, “Sweater Weather” from Bath&BodyWorks, and Capri Blue’s “Volcano” (It does NOT sound like how it smells! It’s an amazing sugary citrus scent.)

So, when B&BW has a sale on their wallflowers, and my favorite smell is finally released for the season, I stock up 😂 I need another/more full sized candle(s) though…. add them to the wish list! Definitely go smell those though… and you’re welcome! Both can also be found on Amazon! I WANT THE ROOM SPRAYS TOO!


That’s all for this Friday’s Favorites! Have you tried any of those things I highlighted above? Let me know your thoughts!!
