Friday Favorites and Happenings

Happy Friday all! I have a very busy weekend ahead of me. Nothing really going on today, but tomorrow I am co-hosting a baby shower and Sunday we have a birthday party to attend. It is at the same place that the girls had their birthday party at. But this time I get to jump and enjoy the party rather than hosting it.

What are your weekend plans?

Onto Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. This weekend I am co-hosting a baby shower for a friend. She is having another little boy and some friends and I are throwing her a shower. The little ones theme is baby Star Wars. So in honor of her theme, I got baby Yoda bottle openers as a party favor. Check out how cute these are.

TWO.  Next weekend I have a charity event for stopping sex trafficking/human and kids trafficking. I have never been to this event even though it has been going on for about 3 years minus last year due to Covid. 

I feel like I have gone to a ton of formal events lately and I keep buying dresses. Oh and this one wants you to have a fur something too. Luckily, my friend is lending me her fur coat (no it's not real) and I went searching for a dress. I found several cute ones, but the price just has me wanting to not pull the trigger.

I have always wanted to use Rent the Runway, and now worked out for me. I used the code GETDRESSED for 20% off my first rental.

So what did I rent? And how much did it cost? $42 and change and I got a free back-up size.

THREE. So remember how I wanted some Kendra Scott items for Christmas and I got them? Well I got two pairs of the earrings, so I returned one pair (from Rory) and I waited FOREVER for the return to be accepted and get a gift card to buy something new. Well, after they received my return on the 5th, I got my gift card this week. So help me chose which necklace to get in exchange.

FOUR. So I was all ready for the Niners game last weekend. We all wore our Niners gear. I even got my nails done in a Niners theme. And they lost. Such a sad day. But there is always next year. 

Here are some fun snaps from last weekend before our awful loss. Thanks Jimmy.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

This is definitely how I felt on Monday.




Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.

  4. That Star Wars baby Yoda stuff is soooo cute! I love that theme for a baby shower. So sweet! And I'm sorry your Niners lost. We always pull for the Falcons, but since they sucked this year, we didn't really have anyone in particular to pull for. I'm definitely pulling for the Rams now, though, because you know us Georgia fans love our Matt Stafford and Sony Michel! I've been rooting for Matt to win a Super Bowl for forever, so I'm excited that he finally has a shot!

    1. It is. My kids only got into baby Yoda recently but they wanted one of the favors. Ha. Oh I know you love Matt Stafford. I am going for the Bengals only because they haven't been in a long time and the Rams are in the same division as me. I am glad that he does have a shot though. I remember him being drafted and was excited for him. So crazy that he was a Lion for so long and nothing and now he is in the Super Bowl in his first year as a Ram.

    1. I saw that. My BIL is a Chiefs fan so we were texting each other about our sadness.

  6. That dress is gorgeous! So are your red, sparkly nails. Both of those necklaces are equally gorgeous, hard to make a decision! I have a different Elisa pendent and a smaller heart necklace from them....I tend to wear my Elisa one more if that helps.

    1. Thank you. My nails will be changed for that event, but I had to represent my Niners. That does help me. I love her stuff and know I will wear them both.

  7. I am commenting on Kendra Scott. I purchased a bracelet and several days later it was 50%. I requested a price adjustment per their policy. I did not ever receive it. I am disappointed in their customer service

    1. I was cheering too. I am sad that the Niners are not in it, but at least it won't be a stressful Super Bowl for me. Ha. Have a great weekend!

  10. I love the red nails and those look like such cute baby shower gifts! That dress you rented looks stunning too!

    1. How fun. Looks like you have been busy too!

  11. That last meme sure is the truth! I was rooting for the Chiefs to get in the Super Bowl. As you know, that didn't happen either! I like the second necklace better than the first one but they're both pretty.

    1. Haha I love that last meme. It is so true. I am sad that the Super Bowl has different teams than I wanted, but I hope for a good half time show. Thank you for your vote on the necklaces.
