Tie-Waist Top  |  Ripped Shorts  |  Sandals
Mini Bag  |  Ball-Drop Earrings

TGIF!!  I haven't done a Friday Favorites post in a long while so today I want to share a few things that I'm currently loving.  The first favorite is J.Crew Factory; yes, I'm choosing a store as one of my favorites!  J.Crew Factory is located very close to my home and I find something great almost every time I go.  Recently I picked up this tie-waist top in pretty neutral stripes and you guys, it is perfect for summer.  It's lightweight, comfy and dressy enough to wear to work.  You can shop J.Crew Factory online as well to take advantage of their deals.

Favorite #2 is the mini bag I picked up from H&M.  As soon as I saw it, my first thought was...'OMG, that looks just like the Gucci small quilted bag!'  LOL it does look a little different and the H&M version is a tad smaller but still a good dupe non the less (especially for $20).   H&M is quickly becoming a must shop store IMO.

Favorite #3 is the brand Universal Thread available at Target.  The sandals I am wearing are from Universal Thread and I currently own 3 pairs of shoes from that brand.  Sizing can get a bit weird so definitely try on the shoes first.  The reason I like this brand so much is the affordability of the products and how well the brand updates styles for the seasons. 

Favorite #4 isn't pictures but the Morphe setting spray is the bomb.com.  If you follow any beauty guru you have probably heard about the Morphe setting spray.  It's different from other sprays...a fine mist evenly coats makeup giving a flawless, air brush finish.  This spray is a game changer for your makeup look!

Favorite #5 is also not pictured, Sonia Kashuk makeup sponges that I recently talked about in a #TargetRun post.  Makeup sponges aid in giving a flawless finish with both cremes/liquids and powders.  You can actually do 80% of your makeup routine with a beauty blender.  I love the Sonia Kashuk brand tho because the texture is unique and really allows the product to go further than when using a brush.  They come in different shapes and sizes for an affordable price.

That's it for my Friday Favorites!  Comment below and let me know what products or clothing items you are currently loving.  I'm always willing to try new things :)

Off-the-Shoulder Sweater  |  Lace Cami  |  Ripped Denim
Flats  |  Leopard Clutch  |  Hoop Earrings

Lately I have been wearing outfits that are way too much for the heat so I sweat my butt off.  But, I'm impatient and can't wait for fall any longer!  I love layering and mixing textures to amp up a look.  The sweater is a ribbed knit that makes a great staple.  Underneath the sweater is a lace trim cami from B.P. (I also own it in white/cream).  You could totally wear a cute lace bralette instead of a cami underneath.  Either way, the combo is so cute and sexy!  Perfect for a night out with the girls, a date night, or strolling around town. 

ICYMI, I shared a bunch of wedding photos yesterday!  I can't believe Darin and I have been married almost 4 months...it was by far the happiest day of both our lives.  Every time I go through the pictures, I am filled with so much joy.  There is still debate about which photo to print off for our home, there are just too many beautiful ones to choose from!

Hard to believe Darin and I got married almost 4 months ago.  It was by far the happiest day of our lives!  Everything was perfect that day with all our loved ones there to celebrate.  Looking back at that day brings such joy.  There are over 1,000 pictures from the wedding day so it was hard to only pick a few to share with you all!  For those who may be curious, I'm leaving venue, photographer, caterer, and other info below.

Bride-to-Be's Dress
My Dress (similar)   |  Earrings

Over the weekend I was in Chicago with a few girls to celebrate the Bride-to-be's last fling before the ring!  Friday night we all dressed in black to hit the bars and do some dancing.  Our first stop was Reverie, a boutique lounge and bar that as hoping with people even early on in the night.  The atmosphere was fantastic but the drinks were disappointing.  There seemed be lacking alcohol in the mixed drinks.  We asked the locals about other spots nearby for good night life and many recommend Y Bar.  Unfortunately, it was at capacity when we arrived so we headed to the other spot that was recommended, the Trophy Room.  This place had a high class feel with semi-private circle booths, live DJ and lighted dance floor.  The Bride-to-be loved this place!  It was great for dancing and the drinks were perfect.  

Night 1 was a success!  Danielle had a fabulous time and we were happy to celebrate with her.  We all recommend the Trophy Room if you're looking for a classy place to get good drinks and get your groove on haha.  Stay tuned later this week for a full recap on Danielle's Bachelorette weekend!
