Favorite Things Friday

Hi there, and happy Friday!! 


It's raining cats and dogs [or should I say: Es regnet in Strömen], and that kinda put a damper on my plans to lounge around in the sunshine, reading a book. Sad. Anyway, on to the blog post. 


As usual, I've got a list of my Five Favorite Things this week. I thought I'd talk about some things that get me excited for this summer! DISCLAIMER: I may or may not have gone a little "Polyvore Happy" with this post... please don't kill me. 

1. These beauty products from avon. I cannot even express to you how effective these products are, and they are fabulous for those of us with dry skin. I'm sure they're great for people with combination/oily skin, too, but I can't speak for everyone.
affordable and effective

2. Maxi Skirts. I don't actually own one [yet] - I blame it on my giant-ness, but the second I get home, I'm gonna buy some material and whip one [or five] of these puppies out on my sewing machine.

3. Retro swimwear. I guess I've got a thing for retro, and I had no idea. I'm not sure that I would be active in any of these suits... but they're cute for a day at the beach or lounging by the pool.
swimwear!

4. Bermuda shorts. Most of the time, these make my knees look knobby, but they're comfy enough that I don't particularly care. I love going out and being active in the summer, and I love wearing clothes that allow me to do that. I'll pass on the heels and pick the tennis shoes instead, thankyouverymuch.
Chill in the Summer

5. Smoothies!!!!! Because, seriously. Who would pass up a frickin' smoothie when it's 100 degrees outside? You would? Girrrlllll, you crazy. 
What's getting you guys pumped for summer?! 


PS: I just finished two blog designs for two awesome ladies - you should definitely click the pics and check them out!!

I tried that facewash before and liked it.
Also, I have a black swimsuit almost identical to that!

I use the Avon stuff too! ;) It's been kinda working for me (I blame the baby hahaha)but it's definitely more affordable than some of the other stuff out there ;) And I'm always up for smoothies! Dude I crave Jamba like nobody's business ;)

Love the second header So Much. Great job!

Kylie said...

I like the new designs :) And I love that casual outfit! Stripes are my favorite right now.

When you come back they have retro looking swimsuits at Target!! (love that store)

Breenah said...

I'm in love with the strapless swimsuit, but I imagine that's a bad idea with a baby, haha.
Thanks for including my button :)

I love those swimsuits! Especially the ones with the bandeau tops! Totally cute. Until they fall down when I'm trying to swim... :o)

Have a happy weekend, darling!

Kym said...

haha, you giant. i bet maxi skirts look like mini skirts on you. :)
i know you haven't made the skirts yet, but i'm already impressed that you so confidently stated that you're going to churn out like 5. if i was even brave enough to attempt making one, i'm sure it would take me all day, or possibly even a whole weekend. you go, girllll! i seriously can't wait to see how they turn out!

also, that red retro-kini is kind of awesome! come to think of it, the floral one w/ the belt is too. but those sure do look like pool suits only, no big crashing ocean waves in anything strapless!

i hope you have a great weekend, my dahling!

I haven't tried that line by Avon... I do know and Avon lady I can get it from though... wink *Ali*. Super cute suits! I need a new one this year!

Kelly said...

Ahh I love retro swimwear too. And you've made me want a smoothie...

kim @ a positive peace said...

ugh! just wrote the longest comment and it didn't save!

long story short:

maxi skirts - yes, love
bathing suits - yes, love ( i have an identical black one piece from j crew because they have 'long torso' ones!)
bermuda shorts - yay

Keetha Broyles said...

I've never made a smoothie - - - don't hate me.

Sara Louise said...

I'm going to wear my maxi skirt today :)

Katie said...

I love the whole shorts-striped shirt combination. And now I want a smoothie.

Sierra @ Sierra's View said...

Love those blog designs. Hey, I was gonna ask you: my nav bar isn't working. The guy who re did my blog added his own html code so I don't know how to fix it. he says he's tried everything and it should be working but it's not. Just seeing if you have any ideas :)

Those designs are AWESOME! If you ever wanna make me something.. let me know! LOL and I love all of your outfits and stuff! You and I have the same taste... especially with the Vans!
