Friday whoohoo!! What a dreary week. January, go away, lol. Going to sound like a repeat of last week but this cold yucky weather has me just wanting to curl up in my soft fur blankie. So hard to get motivated but alas, the weekend is here so let's celebrate life and a few favorites of course!
1. Cake Batter Martini
How cute and yummy looking is this? You'll wow your guests and your mouth for sure!!
6 ounces Pinnacle cupcake-flavored vodka
2-1/2 ounces white chocolate liqueur like Godiva
4 ounces heavy whipping cream
4 ounces white creme de cacao
4 ounces amaretto

4 ounces amaretto
Vanilla Frosting
Sprinkles
Using your finger, coat the rim of your glass with frosting - make sure not to miss any spots! Dump sprinkles on a plate and press glass rim into sprinkles, pressing to adhere. Repeat until each glass has a sprinkled rim. Then, combine all ingredients in a large martini shaker filled one-third of the way full with ice. Add a shake of sprinkles into the mixture then shake vigorously. Strain the mixture into your sprinkle-lined glasses and enjoy! Sprinkle with a little Cinnamon if desired
2. Boulangerie Candles
Isn't the jar in itself romantic? Yep, that's why I like to by-pass beloved Bath and Body 3 wicks at Valentine's day and burn this "Smells like Anthropologie" candle. So sweet and fragrant, a little more pricey that B&B but very worth it. Scents often sell out. Keep checking the Anthropologie Website. Right now they have one called Angel Food~delightful!!

3. Week's Attire
Lots of Leopard and scarves going on this chilly week
Kohl's tunic and leopard pants, Macy's tassel necklace, Steve Madden boots
Kohl's Blazer, Old Navy scarf
Lots of Leopard and scarves going on this chilly week
Boho Boutique Cardigan, Charming Charlie scarf
4. Off The Shoulder Inspiration
There is something about off the shoulder that is just so sexy and chic! These are great inspirations that I'd love to re-create. Sometimes I'm self-conscious about pulling this off but I gave it a whirl in this Trends Revisited Post
I've searched for this love tee but can't find it. If you have a link or know where I can get one send it my way.
Something about this one is so soft and feminine.
Hello comfy!!
Look at the ties on the sleeves...so cute!!
5. My Stepper
People, hear me when I tell you BEST $37 ever from Amazon!! When it is too cold to run or walk outside, this stepper saves my workout sanity!! I can literally tote it to any room in the house, walk on it for an hour and catch up on all my DVR-ed TV shows. I have already worn out one so hubs bought me another. LOVE it and no $1000-$2000 for an elliptical or treadmill and it takes up no room, slide it under the bed or in a closet and good to go!!
AND STEP!!!
Buy this Stepper HERE

That cake batter martini looks so good.. Can you bring me one!? Loving the leopard on you, as always. It's such a great print that goes with everything. Have a great weekend!!

Hi Andrea - Love your blog! The stepper - so I looked at it on Amazon - do you use it with or without the resistance bands? Like you - looking for an alternative when I can't get outside or to the gym. However, I know how uncoordinated I am and wondering if I will just fall off of it.... Thanks! Kristin
ReplyDeleteSo i was telling Gary about a similar stepper and I'm so glad to hear that it's actually a good workout!!! My work wear was not nearly as cute as your this week - boring suits this week :( Hope you have a great weekend! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI had that stepper too for when I'm watching stupid TV shows...at least I'm working out..but then I must've used it too much because it broke. I should really replace it.
ReplyDeleteThat stepper looks so neat! I need to get my butt back in gear and get to the gym again! And I NEED those candles--I just LOVE the packaging and that scent sounds amazing! Happy Friday love!

OMG Girl! That stepper! I did not know they existed but I need one and only $37??? Guess what I'm buying! That candle's label is enticing. LOVING all the leopard print this week. Stay warm and cozy this weekend, gorgeous! xo Amanda
ReplyDeleteI believe that martini has my name written all over it, Girlie! So yummy! Also, I'm kinda in to the off-the-shoulder look right now, too. The Tee Kee sweatshirt (very thin) that I bought has a wide neck and tends to fall off the shoulder. I love it! Stay warm and cozy this weekend, Andrea!
ReplyDeletea cake batter martini?! WHAT. That sounds all sorts of amazing!

ReplyDeleteI don't even drink and that cake batter martini looks amazing!-haha Love all the scarves you've been wearing. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat martini looks magical!
ReplyDeleteGreat Friday list, and I hear you about the leopard print! It's my personal fave and those leopard print scarf are stunning on you! You are one chic mama!

I've literally been debating about that same stepper!! It's just so cold here and we don't have room for a big machine. You may have convinced me to pull the trigger. Happy Friday! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow yummy does this cake batter martini look?! So pretty too! Since we will likely be snowed in for days, I will have to try this! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thank you for your concern, you are too sweet! We are in and don't have plans to go anywhere until at least Monday haha!

That martini and that off-the-shoulder top are divine! You look gorgeous in that outfit, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteStay warm in this dismal weather! Thank you so much for sharing that Angel Food candle at Anthro! I have a gift card for that store that is burning a hole in my pocket! I am definitely going to buy one!
ReplyDeleteThat martini looks delightful! I will definitely check out the candles! Love adding to my candle addiction.
ReplyDeleteThat cake batter martini looks amazing! I have only had a martini once in my life and I didn't like it. I wonder if I would like this one or if I would be better off making a cake instead. Hmm... ;) Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the leopard print scarf from Old Navy....I might just need to make a trip there this weekend. The off-the-shoulder look is also so darling. I don't own nearly enough of tops like that.
ReplyDeleteThat drink looks amazing!!! Love all your outfits, I am a fan of the off the shoulder look. Especially since I have been working so hard on defining mine :) Love that you take that stepper all over your house! Maybe I need one haha. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOHHHH MYYYY GOODNESSSS, that cake batter martini sounds like a dream! I am a sucker for cake batter flavored anything!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that love tee... if anybody does find it for you, let me know because I want one, too!!!!
I made a very similar cake batter martini awhile back but forgot to take pictures to blog about it, so thanks for the reminder! Sounds like I'll have to mix up another batch this weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that the rim on that martini was FROSTING I decided I absolutely need it! Yum!! That stepper is awesome! I'm always jealous of people who watch their shows on their treadmill because I could never afford one! I might have to check that out so I can feel less guilty when we're watching TV at night!
ReplyDeleteThat martini sounds delicious! I don't know what size you are but here's a link to that shirt available in small. https://poshmark.com/listing/Off-the-shoulder-love-shirt-55ae6d8894aeb2096501d2b3
ReplyDeleteIt has been too cold I agree but yeah January is so close to being gone, unfortunately. Time flies. I love all your outfits with the leopard scarves. I am a leopard scarf hoarder myself. And that cookie batter martini looks gorgeous and I bet tastes sweet and delightful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend, gorgeous!
Thanks for the candle tip! I'll have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteCute outfits! And I love the off-the-shoulder inspirations!
And I'll definitely look into the stepper! Thanks for the recommendation!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy weekend!!! That cake martini sure is pretty but probably too sweet for me! I would love to make it for some friends though :) Love the Boulangerie Candles, both the look and smell. And off the shoulder anything is the best.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fabulous candle, and I love your scarves!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the cake batter martini might be perfect for my birthday next week! Also, I think I need to grab that stepper for my Netflix marathons. Jess at Just Jess
