friday things
these boots by chanel come in the prettiest jewel tones. but my heart belongs to this combo.
i love the mid calf rise. but i can't afford them for one second.
i think the entire world is watching stranger things. if you're not you're missing out. it's pretty spectacular this season. i mean last season (the first season) was great. awesome. but this season is even better. the kid actors far outweigh the adults in natural ability. apart from sean astin. he is killing it. we only just finished episode 4 so no spoilers!
and here's a good list of some shows you should watch.
remember when i told you about this? i drank one halloween night and i have to say i actually felt good when i woke up the next day. i didn't drink a ton of alcohol (1 whole bottle of wine over the course of about 6 hours) but enough that i probably would've been slow to start and groggy the next day with a little bit of a headache. but i woke with none of that. i was a little bit sleepy and didn't want to get out of bed but i chalk that up to just a later than usual bedtime. so the verdict is still out on whether this works after a bender kind of night. but it definitely works on a whole bottle of wine. if you want to order it i say do it quick bc shipping takes forever.
and that's all that's fit to print.
have a gorgeous first weekend in november.

you guys this coat is on everyone's wish list. mine included. it's affordable and looks cozy. the temps dropped into the 30's the other day here in atlanta which is CRAZY for october and i was ill prepared.
this cute sweater looks more $$ than it is. love the puffy sleeve.
this sweet cardigan is currently on my must have sweater list. i'd pair it with cropped leather pants and a leopard turtleneck.
i want to be a scarf person. i fancy them tied around wrists as jewelry, or wrapped around a hair bun. necks too, sure. this leopard and stripe combo reminds me of clare vivier without the CV price tag.
you guys! now us big tittied babes can haz a bralette!
i can't stop thinking about these boots. they're going on my christmas list. they aren't cheap but i feel like they are just one of those items that would only get better over time and never ever go out of style.
and finally...let me tell you about a glow. have you guys used the ordinary? i needed a new vitamin c serum and this one came highly recommended. when i saw the price i nearly fainted. under 10 bucks?! AYFKM?! i read a few reviews and was sold. also at $5.80 it didn't matter. i read that combining the vitamin c serum with their resveratrol and ferulic acid serum was the way to go. which is $7.90. i made the mistake of using too much the first time and had to wipe a lot of it away. but once i got the amounts right it was like whoa. for me it's a one tiny squirt of the vitamin c serum and 2 drops of the resveratrol and ferulic acid serum. i don't even need moisturizer after i use it. it's a great primer for makeup. and my skin seriously glowed like with no other product i've ever used. this brand is so cheap i bought the rosehip oil (for facial massage and night time repair), the caffeine solution (for puffiness and dark circles and i have to say it drastically reduces puffiness. i don't suffer from dark circles too bad so i didn't notice much difference there but the puffiness is real for me and this totally helps.) and the salicylic acid for fiona's hormonally charged skin. she just started using it last night so i'll let you know if it works. have you tried anything from the ordinary? i'd love to know which ones you used and loved or didn't love.
fun with cheap sofas - pt. 2
a pink silky sofa with irises all over it is a hard sell. but if i matched the walls to the pink in the sofa i probably have your attention. but you better like pink. then pair it with a moroccan rug in red because i dare you too. let's add more reds in the form of oxblood velvet pillows, but throw in some brown and black to ground it out. add a pink silky pillow and/or a red floral pillow. keep the brown going in the vintage fabric on the settee, because i think brown, pink and red is a pretty awesome combo. then throw in some geometry to keep it modern- art, lamps, red stacking tables.
or...
maybe you're after a different vibe altogether. a little vintage euro minimal? is that a real thing? maybe it's georgia o'keeffe does spain? i like it either way. it really needs no explaining. just keep it spare, mostly white, add loads of texture, and some architectural elements
pair of ficks reed bamboo sofas (check out the texture on the upholstery. i'd never change it.)
turkish floor pillow with green squiggly things.
i can't for the life of me find where that bowl is from. i traced my steps and just couldn't locate it. i think it's from chairish. i wish they had a recently viewed tool.
anyway...which is your favorite?

anna spiro just gets it doesn't she?
have a halloween costume yet? here are some ideas. i'm regretting not seeing this one sooner.
the popular instagram account humans of new york now has a series on facebook and it's wow.
my mother in law has been telling everyone she meets that they need to read this book.
black toilets. would you?
i'll say this much...i have a black toilet seat and it shows every single fingerprint. of which there are many. and i never would have known that if i had kept my white seat.
i am still in love with this moisturizer. just ordered my 4th tube. it's the best. it's also an excellent primer for makeup.
ok then. have a great weekend.
