Five Friday Favorites: Recent Obsessions

Friday, September 5, 2014

Happy Friday & Happy Upcoming Weekend!
After a long Labor Day Weekend, it was really hard getting back into the swing of classes again so you can imagine how glad I am that another weekend is here. I need a little break and the semester has only barely started! But aside from that, I thought I'd mix up this weeks Five Friday Favorites by sharing 5 things I'm only slightly obsessed with currently. Only slightly. :)

1. Jane.com Boutique Deals has now become part of my morning routine. I wake up, roll over, and look through today's deals, which I get emailed to me. I don't know how I feel about this. So far, I haven't actually spent that much money, which is surprising, but I guess my self restraint is stronger than I thought! For all things home decor, clothing, and accessories, Jane.com is the place to be. 
At least that's where I am at 7am.

2. theSkimm is a fab little company that delivers the news highlights straight to your email inbox each morning. I've always liked watching the news, but being in college for most students means being a little out of the loop, whether it's lack of money to spend on cable or just lack of time. But theSkimms' short & sweet updates keep me informed while I sip my coffee. Or chug. 


3. Speaking of coffee... yeah, so I think I've become a coffee in the morning person. I can function without it, but I've noticed I have more energy in the afternoon if I've had coffee in the morning. Like my jane.com obsession, I don't know how I feel about this. 

4. Moving on to a clothing obsession. Or two. Maybe three... Anyway, I have been wearing the heck out of my linen, palazzo, and tapered printed pants! Recently it seems like I'm washing them every single week, and pining to pull them out of the dirty clothes bin. Additionally, I have been lusting over the idea of tunics & leggings. Those of you who know me personally know that I do not like leaving the house in yoga pants/leggings/workout clothes unless I'm actually going to workout. But my dear friend Lauren, as well as many other girls I see around campus, rock the tunic-and-legging look and I've decided I want in! I don't know if there is a secret password for this elite club, but I'll find out!

5. My final obsession is not recent by any means. Last weekend, my boyfriend drove up and he not only was just here (which means hugs!) but he also put on a new screen protector on my phone, installed a new shower head for me, and made my brother and I lunch. He's just so sweet and caring, and I thank God everyday that I get to have Kyle in my life & call him mine. :)

But enough about my obsessions, what is catching your eye recently?!
Have a great weekend!
