friday favorites #2

friday favorites 2
1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8

Here is another Friday Favorites blog post! This week was only a four day school week thanks to Labor Day. I enjoyed snacking on Fig Newtons while hanging out in between classes this week. Labor Day gave me a chance to relax and paint my nails. I can not wait until Halloween. This being said I painted my nails a deep black NYC Long Wearing nail polish. I might be getting ahead of myself but I think black nails also looks very chic and complements every outfit. One of my favorite perfumes is the Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume. It has notes of “raspberry, dewberry, green tea, freesia and apple blossom”. I wear it every so often and it definitely has a strong staying power. If you saw my Instagram post, I took a view from above photo using this H&M tote. Mine is black and the outer parts are a neutral beige. It holds a lot of my school supplies and doubles as a backpack for days when I just have one class to attend. 

My gold “A” Alex & Ani bracelet has been a fashion favorite this week. I usually have silver jewelry but I was gifted this bronze one, so I’ve been figuring out fun ways to wear it. Gold and brown has been a combination that I am trying out lately because of these shoes that I wear a lot from my Fall Shoe Favorites blog post from earlier in the week! This Urban Decay face spray has been a staple in my morning routine! When I am finished with foundation, powder, contours and blush, I simply spray this stuff 2-4 times all over my freshly done up face. It really helps control shine and keep all your makeup in placde throughout the day. 

Another favorite is the Sweet Leaf citrus tea. I bought one bottle of this the other day while at Publix because it was 10 for $10 which means it was only $1. I had never tasted this flavor before, and the cashier said it was his favorite. It turns out to be my new favorite as well! My final favorite of the week is Pinterest. I feel like during the summer I was out of my Pinterest addiction and now that school has kicked back in my addiction has returned. Make sure to check out my boards for more ideas about fashion, cooking, healthy habits, work outs, quotes, and more! 

How did your week go? I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Thanks for reading.

    I love the Wonderstruck perfume. I went through the bottle WAY too quickly! That H&M bag is so gorgeous! It looks designer inspired. I really want a couple Alex and Ani bracelets! They are too cute! I followed you on Pinterest girly!
