Friday Favorites....1st of the Year Edition

Happy Weekend is HERE!! Except did anyone else just feel like this week drug on and on? Getting back in the regular grind is no fun although I think the kiddos were ready to go back to school. They love it waaaay more than they admit. Social butterflies!! Not so favorite is my plain looking house now that all the decorations are stowed away. Makes me a little melancholy to not bask in the glow of Christmas lights cozied up in the evening. But I will still relish in the cozied up part.
Here are my favorites of the week:


1. Owl Love
For some reason, I have developed an affinity for owls. Maybe it's because we have one that "Whooooo's" all the time behind our house or because part of my phone number in letters is HOOT. Anywhoo, lol, here are a few owl items I was blessed with recently.
 Adorable Owl Cheese Board from my friend Tami

Cutest Lace Owl on the softest sweatshirt ever!!


Lipgloss Owl from my mama 

2. Coffee Bar
Our next house will have a coffee bar area. Right honey?




3. Week's Attire
A.Byer sweater and skirt outfit

Max Studio Sweatshirt dress, Charming Charlie scarf, Aldo boots

Lush Top from Nordstrom, Boutique vest


Kohl's cardigan, necklace and skirt

4. Chicago Trilogy Love
Living only a couple hours from Chicago, it happens to be our favorite city. Many of my blogger pals are from Chicago too. We LOVE these three shows and this week they were all back with crossover episodes. Good T.V. watching for sure!!

5. The Colt's Debacle Replacements
If you're a regular reader, than you know all about the Colt's Game
where they made me ditch my favorite cross body purse because it was too "big." NOT!!
3 of the people closest to me felt so bad that they wanted to get me a replacement for Christmas.
Here are the ones they chose:

 Coach writst-let from Mr. 9


Leopard blinging clutch from Tami 


This tiny lipstick holder that my mom had this note inside with lipgloss. It was the tree gift, which I talked about her tradition Here



And Mr. 9 got me a Tory Burch and that will not be going anywhere near a major sporting event!



I hope you all have an amazing and fun weekend!!

  12. I would love to have a coffee bar in my home. How fab! Great outfits as always. I'm still in shock about what happened to you at the game, it makes my blood boil.

  13. Yes to the coffee bar, and that Lush top outfit is my favorite! I also love your TB bag and that leopard clutch. My husband and I watch Chicago PD too, love that show and seeing where they film here. :-) Have a wonderful weekend!!

  14. HA! I love that everyone tried to replace your bag. Darn those Colts, you should be a Steelers fan! I love your Tory Burch bag!

  15. Oh my gosh! That is terrible about the Coach bag! I only own Coach bags and would have flipped out. I once lost my mind in an airport when the lighter ban first went into effect and they wanted me to throw away a Zippo. I made them mail that itty bitty little Zippo to me in a shipping container because I refused to throw it away and the person I was flying with wasn't satisfied with my solution of my just going home and letting them travel alone. Over a Coach, I might have to be arrested. LOL! I love the replacements, though, and how thoughtful of your family and friends!

  16. I love the coffee bar idea! My someday house will definitely have to include one! I haven't seen Chicago Med or Chicago PD but I'm addicted to Chicago Fire. I'm excited they're all going to be together this week. I need to catch up on the other 2 because I had good intentions of becoming hooked on both of those as well & then just never started them.
