Happy Friday all! Can you believe August is only two days away? I can't. And by that I mean, my birthday is just a few days a way as well. And I have to work on my birthday, so that sucks. Ugh. Who makes you work on your birthday? My work does. 

Anyways, we have a busy weekend ahead of us and the next few weekends are busy as well. So I will be in and out, but definitely posting and blog reading in between.

Onto, Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. As I said, my birthday is Monday. My MIL and husband have been asking me what I want for my birthday for a few weeks now. I really couldn't think of much. I know, weird right? I said maybe a Lululemon gift card. But then I thought about it and said what about a Tory Burch handbag and I can share the cost with them (since TB bags are pricey).

They said, no need to share the cost and send them some of my favorites. So I did. But then we went school clothes shopping for the girls and went into the actual TB store to see my picks. Well it turns out I wanted a different bag than I had picked out.

Rory asked if it was in stock and it was but only the display. But they said they could ship it to me in two days. So guess who got a new TB bag? Me. Courtesy of my husband and in-laws. And I am in love.

TWO. I also found a pair of sunglasses while I was there that I added to my list for my parents and sister. What can I say, I love Tory Burch everything.

I currently have TB sunglasses that I bought from the outlet a year or two ago and Rory had me try on these and I fell in love with them. I didn't buy them, but I have my eye on them.

THREE. I did buy myself their perfume in the rollerball version. 

I have a problem with a lot of perfumes. I am almost allergic to some perfumes. I sneeze and can't be around people who spray awful scents. It has been like this forever. A bunch of the Victoria Secret body sprays that people used to use made me gag and sneeze. I could wear some like Love Spell and a few others, but most of them killed me. And when girls sprayed them on after gym class, I about died. 

I tried on 2 scents after smelling all four that were available. I wore them around the store and they didn't bother me. But I decided to get a rollerball version just in case. I got the original Tory Burch scent and I LOVE it. So far, so good.

FOUR. We also did some school clothes shopping for the girls. I bought a bunch from Target as they were having sales on a lot of school supplies and clothes. Leggings were $5 and jeans were $10. So I grabbed a bunch of those plus some dresses for $9. Not sure if the sale is still going on, but it is worth a look.

Anyways, I got the girls the dresses and shirts below from Abercrombie and Fitch. I went in looking for school clothes for them and anything for me since I don't have a local store and refuse to pay the shipping from there. Ha. Anyways, I got myself a dress and the comfiest shirt (I have two others).

Here is my haul for the girls and I. Rory even got a few items.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.
