Happy Friday all! We are at the end of January and I feel like this month flew by. We had a lot going on each weekend. I feel like I will blink and we will be into the Summer. Or maybe I am just wishing for warmer weather again.
Anyways, onto Friday favorites and Happenings.
ONE. Last weekend when I was in Colorado, I bought the prettiest boots. We were shopping in Beaver Creek and went into an expensive Winter store. I immediately saw this boots and the price tag and walked away. We were looking at everything in the store and just admiring it all.
One of the people we were with wanted to try on some shoes, so we all waited with him. But this meant, I had to keep seeing the boots. So I figured I would try them on for fun. And so I did and I feel in love with them. They are so comfy, cozy and cute. Plus they are Sorel's, so you know they last FOREVER.
So I bought them. And when I showed them to friends back at the hotel, they wanted them and said that even though they are pricey, they will last forever.
Oh and now they are on sale on Sorel's website.
TWO. I saw someone post this Dyson Airwrap dupe and I want to know if any of you have used it. It has great reviews (99 5 Star Reviews) and it is so much cheaper than the Dyson. I really want the Dyson, but I am not paying that much.
I know there is a learning curve with these, so I feel better about this cost rather than the Dyson. But I also worry about ruining my hair if it is a cheap dupe.
So have you used it? Thoughts?
THREE. I mentioned in my What's Up Wednesday post that I was making shirts for the girls 100th day of school. Well on Wednesday night, we added the jewels to their shirts and now they are complete. They are wearing them to school this morning.
I got everything to make these shirts at Hobby Lobby. I got the shirts, the fabric glue, the puff paint and the jewels there.
They turned out so cute.
FOUR. I went to Trader Joes this week and I found a few festive Valentine's treats. I got the X & O Gummies and the Dark Chocolate Mini Heart Cookies.
The X & O Gummies are really good. They are shaped like X's, O's in red, pink and white/clear. They are very tasty, but I still think the Scandinavian Gummies are the best.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
Those boots are fabulous! The girls shirts turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing boots. I am so happy with them. And thank you. We had fun making them!
DeleteYou’re funny‘s crack me up! I love those boots so much, I think I’m going to order them. Have a sweet weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do. They are so comfy. I love them. Pricey, yes, but so good.
DeleteThose boots are fabulous! You will be wearing them for a long time! Love how the 100 day tees turned out! Have a wonderful weekend!

I sure hope so. I feel like Sorels are a great brand and last forever. I do too. It was fun making them with my girls. Have a wonderful weekend as well!
DeleteThose boots are pretty! Love the girls shirts, they turned out so cute. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love them. So pretty and comfy. We had so much fun making the shirts together.
DeleteThose boots are gorgeous!! And I love how the girls' shirts turned out! Y'all did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI love those boots so much. Definitely an investment piece. Thank you so much. We had so much fun making them. And then I added dry shampoo to their hair and put it in a low bun to look 100. Ha.
DeleteI'm glad Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are out. Patrick Mahomes is the best! :) The boots are really cute. We tried the X and O gummies and I don't usually like gummies but I liked them!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Haha. I like Mahomes a lot unless he plays the Niners. Then I have to root against him. They are good right? I can only eat a few at a time, but I definitely liked them!
DeleteI am really wondering about the Dyson dupe too. Please review it if you decide to buy! I'm going to Trader Joe's for a Valentine's care package for Grace. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf I buy it, I will review it for sure. I need something with less heat on my hair and feel like these options are good at least. Oh that is sweet. I think she will like that. Have a great weekend!
DeleteLove the boots! I got some Sorrel's and I love them! OMG, airports really are the biggest money suck! I kid you not, I had a $29 glass of wine at the New Orleans airport last year just because I didn't order a specific brand. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey are the best boots. They last forever. Oh gosh. That is so expensive. I hate paying that much for a not the best wine, but decent wine. I hope you had a good weekend too!
DeleteThose boots look really cosy and like a great winter investment! :) I've seen so many people rave about the dyson it's great there is a cheaper alternative! I'm growing my hair to donate it again so I'm trying not to style it at all - maybe after I donate it I'd look at styling tools but right now trying to keep it as product and heat free as possible! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a lovely weekend :) We had a great one despite the heat, catching up with friends and family :)
Away From The Blue
They are a great investment for sure. And they are on sale for even less now. Ugh. I wish I had gotten them at their store so I could get a price change. I love that you are donating your hair. My sister did that. Such a great cause. Great idea to not put extra heat on it.
DeleteThose Sorel boots look sso cute! I wish I felt comfortable spending that much money on shoes haha I can't wait to see how you style them!
ReplyDeleteThey are on sale now for $149. Even better now. I wish I had gotten them for that price. ugh. I have worn them 3 times already.
