Friday Favorites + Fireside Collection

Friday Favorites 01Praise the Lord for Fridays. Oh, and thank Jesus for coffee to help me get to Friday. 😉

One.
51ccygimkcl-_sx388_bo1204203200_I got this cookbook a few years ago and there is one recipe I go back to again and again. Late Summer Farro, Butternut Squash, and Arugula Salad is a favorite. I made it last year and this year for our Friendsgiving and it’s a crowd pleaser. 🙂

Two.movieawards-2015favechristmasmoviesI have been watching Hallmark Christmas movies like it is my job. I turn it on right when I get home and let it play throughout the evening. It makes me so happy. 🙂

Three.

Speaking of Christmas. I got our Christmas decor out this week and our home is feeling extra cozy because of it! I went a little reindeer crazy last year. I bought a reindeer figure, pillow, and stocking holders. (All similar in links). Throw in some Christmas balls and lights and we’re set in the Spring household.

Four.

I have talked about sweaters similar to this before because they are a favorite! I wore a sweater yesterday that is basically a combo of these two meshed into one from a previous season. It is SO comfortable, easy to mix and match, and to dress up or down. I basically want to order both of these now too. 😉

Five.I’ve talked all about my love for Jessica N Designs a ton! Well today, they are launching their Fireside Collection and I am in love with it! You can flip through the collection, here! You can find their adorable holiday spreaders in my cheese board post. Also, any orders placed from Friday November 18 – Sunday November 20 can get 15% off by using the code: JNDHoliday15! Cross some things off your Christmas list friends and have a happy Friday! xo

Friday Favorites + Urban Southern

Friday Favorites 01This week has been filled with a lot of Christmas music to keep somewhat of a hop in my step. 😉 Here’s to the a fun-filled weekend that involves a 5K, Friendsgiving, and a lot of relaxing all weekend long. 🙂

One. I heard of the company Urban Southern from Andrea’s blog and fell in love with their bags. Their bags are made of impeccable craftmanship, beautiful leather, and are so spacious! It can hold some of my favorite goodies plus my huge blanket scarf. Win- win. 😉 I am head over heels with my new sidekick and it is by far my favorite bag I have ever received. You can find the bag I ordered, here!

This showed up as I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and I got so excited. These used to be my favorite episodes! I love Oprah’s Favorite Things. 🙂

Three.dsc_0125Can we talk about this Thanksgiving side dish?! I had to hold myself back from eating the entire serving I made. Recipe, here!

Four.I used another brand for a little and now I’m back at it. Favorite, here!

Five.My friend and I met for coffee at a bakery we have never been to. Best decision ever! It was the coziest of spots and was all decked out for Christmas. (Which I obviously loved). So fun to catch up and try and hold myself back from ordering one of everything.

Happy Friday friends and a huge thank you to Urban Southern for the best leather bags around. 🙂

Stranded Island + Outerwear

I went against the grain on this one and didn’t necessarily list three pieces of outerwear I would bring on an island because I’m hoping it will at least be warm there. 😉 I stuck to my favorite pieces that I adore and have been a staple for several years.
1. JCrew City Coat 2. North Face Fleece 3. Gap Vest

1. JCrew City Coat: I got this coat last year and I’m kind of obsessed with it. It’s great quality and keeps me warm, which is a must! I bought it in seaside coral but it comes in a variety of colors! 🙂

2. North Face Fleece: Buying this fleece in college was a staple around campus. So naturally, I bought it. But in all honestly, I love this fleece. It’s so warm, heavy-duty, and versatile. I’m now eyeing up this sweater. I also have a beanie from The North Face that I love! Similar, here.

3. Gap Vest– I have had my puffer vest since high school and still wear it. Good thing they remain each season. 😉

Last but not least, gloves. (I know, I added more than four pieces of outerwear but tis’ the season). 😉 I bought these gloves four years ago when we planned a trip to New York. They have the tech touch screen design and work out great. However, my hands are cold so often that I’m up for any glove recommendations. Send them my way and have an amazing Wednesday! I’ll be over here listening to Christmas music any chance I get! xo

Friday Favorites

One.

I know I’m late to the party but I completely forgot to add this to last week’s favorites! Three people sent me this within an hour of each other and it made me giggle. I guess people know my love for Gilmore Girls. 🙂 SO EXCITED!

Two.

This! Insert all the heart eyes galore. If you want one, just send me a message!

Three.

We had two days of meetings this week which was a nice change of pace. 🙂

Four.I always start Christmas music early and I’m in heaven because of it.

Classic Accessories + Wishlist

There are staples in a kitchen that will never grow old. Styles may change; yes. But the purpose and use of certain items found in a kitchen drawer or cupboard never cease to exist. Although I have mentioned some of my favorite pieces in other posts, I felt as though these gems deserved a condensed version of their very own. Here they are for you to see and purchase because let’s be honest, they will make a perfect gift for the kitchen lover or yourself. 🙂

Speaking of some of my favorites…don’t get me wrong, I’m just as guilty as the next person to go from Halloween to Christmas in about 0.02 seconds. However, Thanksgiving deserves it’s place in the spotlight! I put together a fun Thanksgiving wishlist for you and for me. 🙂

Have the best Wednesday!
