I love a Friday but please oh please September slow down!!! I gotta tells ya kids, Mother Nature shined that sun so bright and magnificently this week. We are talking clear skies and 75-85 every day since Tuesday. BUT I am still mad at Mother Nature and Florence and the havoc she is bestowing upon all the wonderful east Coast Folks! I have been glued to the covered and Pray people have evacuated, that there is minimal damage and NO one gets hurt! To get your mind off it, grab a cup and of goodness and browse some Fun Friday favorites.
1. Friday Fall Finds
Continuing on with the Fall Finds series, I cannot resist the killer Amazon deals on Pillows! This Fall Pillow Cover which I just threw an insert in my cart for it too was $7 and super cute especially if you’re decorating with a little Buffalo Plaid! See with the new house I am going with white, blue & green Fall Decor to fit the new house so I’ve had to begin buying all new decorations.

2. Lunch with Rolo....My High School BFF
There is just something so comforting about being around a friend who has known you for 35 years, who was your ultimate partner in crime all of high school. Who was rarely seen without the other. One of the things I adore about no longer working is having friends over for lunch. We just sit on the back lanai and chit chat and on this day, Rolonda (we called her Rolo in HS), and I also went for a walk. We have so many great memories. Two of our kids now go to the same college and the all the kids attended the same high school we did. I literally could go on and on about this sweet soul. She is beautiful, talented, loves our Lord and you just feel like a better person being around her. I even found our split BFF necklace that I have kept in my jewelry box all these years. Hopeful for more days like this!
Loving all the throwbacks!! We're both much blonder now, lol!

3. Week's Attire
Showed you this comfy Camo Sweater At The Blended Blog on Wednesday
Gap Jacket, Target Dress, Vince booties
Adidas Stan Smith Sneakers HERE (Been wearing on repeat!)
4. PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE TEE
Ok so for me, this really should be my ultimate FALL FIND of ALL TIME! $8 and I was super worried about ship time and quality but worry NO MORE because it got here in a week, is constructed great, fits well and is SOFT as can be and soooo ME! I love the color and Varsity design too. They have lots of other sayings as well but you know I am a PSL GIRL, skinny version of course. Note: another Fall SB Pumpkin Version to try..A Skinny Cascara latte with 1 pump pumpkin.
MORE INSPO
5. Misc. Fun
Coffee Crisps
My dear Blended Blog sister Shaunacey was in my thoughts several times this week. For one, she is seriously challenging me in a Fit Bit Challenge and two, I found an empty, yes Empty bag of my beloved Canadian treat, Coffee Crisps. Shaun had sent me my first bag and when we went to Toronto, I stocked up but they didn’t last long. I LOVE these things with coffee. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make TBB trip in October or I’d have my Canadian friends bring me some. I may have to dish out some dough and just buy em’ on Amazon to tied me over!

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Andrea! Great post. Boy, I bet their are plenty of jealous girls when you and Rolo show up at your high school reunions!Love the sign about the lyrics from the 80's. That is my life. Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that pillow is perfect. Then you and Rolo look like you could be sisters and neither one of you have aged at all. You look like you could both be in college, not sending kids there! I love having a chance to catch up with old friends, especially the ones where it feels like you haven't skipped a beat even when it's been a bit. Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteOMG I think I want that tee you got!!!! Super cute! You and your friend are precious and both drop dead gorgeous! There is something very special about those long time friends we share such a deep history with. I hope you have a marvelous weekend my friend with lots of PSLs!!!

We have lots in common here! I have those Stan Smiths in blue. and I have a "Blogging Day" mug just like that. I got it at Francesca's. Now Im headed to Amazon for one of those cute shirts. I like the v-neck ones and thinking the orange color.
ReplyDeleteAdorable throw back photos. Even then, you were a little model. Pretty girls!

Hahaha, cracking up at that song / memory thing. It's the same way for me! I remember lyrics way better than things I should actually remember.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the throwback pictures. And the current picture - pretty, pretty!
Oh my gosh, I'm about to buy that tee! Did you size up as they suggested? I don't know what size I should get!

ReplyDeleteI have a birthday coming up and that mug was made for me! I'm going to have to HINT, HINT or just order it and have him pay for it!

The fall pillow cover is cute!
ReplyDeleteThat letterboard is SO me too! You and your high school are still just as beautiful as you were back then. IT's so nice you two got to have a special lunch together. Your weather sounded great this week! I was away but heard we had a lot of rain at home so I'm glad I missed it. Love that PSL t-shirt. Too cute! That pillow is so cute too!
ReplyDeleteNEED to try those coffee crisps and I love that pumpkin spice tee! Hope you have a great weekend, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of those coffee crisps! They sound tasty! Your new fall tee is adorable!
ReplyDeleteSitting here in our hotel room in Virginia and catching up on my blog reading. You and Rolo could so be sisters. Love the shirt and mug, so ready for fall. Happy rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable to see your photos, isn't it lovely to have a really special friend. You both look gorgeous now too! Happy Sunday, I'm off to find a spiced pumpkin latte! Jacqui Mummabstylish
ReplyDeleteThe song lyrics vs remembering what you want in the kitchen is so me!! Love it. I loved the photos of you and Rolo - you are a pair of bombshells! I have friends who I've known since school and we still giggle together like schoolgirls - I don't think you ever lose that connection. After seeing your pics I am going to wander into the kitchen (far too late at 21:45) to get a hot drink and some chocolate! Hope you've had a great weekend xx
ReplyDeleteAs always I love your outfits! I don't even like coffee but that pumpkin spice latte tee is so fun! :) Looks like you had a nice week.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you had a great weekend! The weather was lovely here, but it's quite cold again today. Hopefully the storm in the US doesn't cause too much damage.
