Friday Favorites

I feel like I start every Friday Favorites email with, well we survived another week of quarantine. Because well we did. But I am over it. I am happy that we are flattening the curve, but I am tired of just being home and we are going to just be home for quite awhile. I am hoping that by May 5th, our governor will allow us to go into Phase 1. Fingers crossed. I really want a Mother's Day brunch out and a day to myself. I know all of us mamas could use it.

Anyways, onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. Well I was doing pretty good with not really shopping for anything except for essentials on Amazon and then that went down the drain this week. I bought on a lot of different sites. So many of them had 50 to 70% off of everything. I couldn't help myself. I bought a bunch of Summery clothes which I hope I will get to wear one day. Ha. I bought from J Crew, Sephora, Loft, J Crew Factory and Abercrombie and Fitch. I haven't bought anything from A&F since I was in college maybe? But they have some pretty dang cute things right now and I jumped on that band wagon.

So what did I purchase this week?
A&F Slim Ribbed Crew Tee

A&F Drapey Pull On Shorts

TWO. Since I am a VIP Sephora member, I got 15% off of everything at Sephora. The sale is still going on and I am contemplating a few other items, but everything I bought this time around was a re-stock of items that I love.
Becca Anti-Fatigue Under Eyes Primer

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize

THREE. From J Crew, I bought this blouse. I had a reward to use, so I grabbed this blouse. I can wear it to work or on the weekends. I got this for $37.50.
J Crew Scoopneck Blouse

FOUR. Loft was having a big sale and I could have bought more items, but I settled on this floral top and earrings. My total was just over $25 for both items.
Loft Flora Henley Linen Tee

Loft Marbleized Resin Earrings

FIVE. From J Crew Factory, I purchased three shirts. I spent $40 total on these three shirts and I got a mix of work and play shirts.
J Crew Eyelet Puff Sleeve Top
 J Crew Eyelet Puff Sleeve Top (I got it in blue, but it is no longer available. This is on sale for $13.96)

J Crew Eyelet Puff Sleeve Top

J Crew Textured Tie Front Top
J Crew Textured Tie Front Top (it is $9.50 right now)

I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything and Becky.

Have a great weekend!

  1. You got some good deals! I love the CT Marie Antoinette shadow. I pretty much use it every single day. Well, when I am wearing makeup. I may need to try that undereye primer. My under eye area is awful right now. I think we could ALLLLLL definitely use a day to ourselves!

    1. You are the one who recommended it to me and I bought it right after. It is such a pretty color too. That undereye primer saves me everyday that I wear make up. Ha. I sometimes have used it during this quarantine without any other make up. Yes to the day to ourselves right now. I am struggling.

    1. They are pricey, but if you catch them on sale, like 50% off, then they are definitely way more reasonable.

  3. Yup, we are all surviving. Since we're in a really bad area I don't see us opening up anytime soon. And when we do, I'm not even sure I'll want to go out for awhile to be safe :( You found some great deals!

    1. I totally get that too. You guys are in a bad area. We are in a pretty safe area. Less than 200 deaths statewide. And where I live, we are in the teens in deaths. But yes, I will definitely be a lot more cautious when we are able to go out. I just want my kids to be able to play in the playgrounds and things like that.

  5. That eyelet top is so cute! Eyelet is just so classic... it never seems to go out of style! And I love how feminine it is.

  8. Lofts sales have been CRAZY lately! I think I'm going to jump on it tonight, actually. Love what you've picked up! Here's hoping we can wear them out of the house sometime this summer. ;)

    1. I really hope we can wear this stuff out of the house. Otherwise, I bought it for nothing. Ha. You should jump on the Loft sales. Heck, most places are having great sales!

  9. Oh my gosh those marbilized earrings are stunning. I feel you. I caved and bought stuff this week too and now am kind of having buyers remorse because I feel like where am I going to wear these things anyway. Sigh. This week I am going to focus more on learning a new skis rather than checking favorite stores 😆
