Friday Favorites and Happenings

It's Friday and we are officially half way through February. Time is flying and I am ok with it (kinda) since I am itching for some Spring weather. It has been cold here. I love the snow, but I am not digging the teens to 30 degree weather we have had. I am looking forward to the long weekend. We don't have much planned and that is very welcoming!

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. Rory loves working outside, he loves the outdoors and he loves Birkenstocks. When I saw the "rubber" Birkenstocks, I knew it would be a great gift for him. He can wear them on our Graeagle trip, while he gardens or to the beach. They get amazing reviews and I got them for him for Valentine's Day.

TWO. So I bought myself some new work shoes this week. About once a year, I treat myself to a new pair of flats that I basically wear daily to work except during the winter when I wear boots more due to rain and snow. Anyways, a couple of people turned me onto Rothy's pointed flats and their regular flats, so I ordered the pointed ones this time. I ordered a size up from my normal size since that was recommended with the pointed ones. I usually get a size up for pointed shoes. Anyways, I always go with the basic black ones, so that they go with everything.

These shoes are pretty amazing because they are machine washable. That means I can still wear them on my daily walks at work, I don't have to worry about them getting dirty and they are made from recycled bottled water bottles.

If you want $20 off a pair, you can use my code here. Enjoy.

THREE. Yesterday was Valentine's Day and I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw the funniest memes. It was NFL Valentine cards. Here are four of my favorite ones that I saw.

FOUR. So I had a few people ask me what sweater I got at Nordstrom Rack that was originally $248 and was on sale for $41.98. So I have linked it below. The one available online is the black or mustard yellow one. The one I got was a light blue. It is soft, flattering and has the cutest button details on the shoulder.

FIVE. When I was also at Nordstrom Rack, I picked up a pair of heels since I didn't have any that are a lower heel and in decent shape. Or they were a bright color. I needed a new pair of black heels. When I saw these Vince Camuto Pointy Heels, I tried them on and bought them right away. They are $39.97 which is less than what I bought them for.

SIX. While browsing for some basic tees (since my beloved Rag and Bone ones are sooo expensive. Anyone have an outlet near them?) online, I found the cutest top for Mexico. And it is one sale for $14.95 with free shipping which is a no brainer.

  4. I've seen so many people talking about Rothy's! I'm intrigued. I'm super picky about flats because I usually can't get them to feel comfortable on my feet without slipping off my heel. I might have to try some eventually. I love that they're machine washable. That's AWESOME.

    1. I have the same problem. I have super high arches so most of the time they slip off my feet or I can't fit my toes in toe area.
