Happy Friday, Everyone!

I hope y'all are as ready for 5:00 as I am!  Sunday it is supposed to be 70-something and sunny, and I am itching to put the boat in the water for the first time this year.  Especially since it got back down to 32 last night.  grrrrrr.   Silver-lining of the cold resurgence?  I got to test out this fabulous hoodie from Charles River Apparel!  I love pieces that have a fabulous element - like the fur trimmed hood on this casual fleece.  This hoodie is so so SO soft!  But, what I really love is the feminine cut of it.  The back is actually tailored like a heavier coat would be, giving a super flattering and structured shape to a typically loose piece.  It makes you feel like this hoodie can take you places.

If you are as in love with this hoodie as I am, scoot on over to Instagram for a chance to win one for yourself!  All of the rules are listed on the picture.  The Giveaway ends Sunday, so hurry hurry!   And if you are looking to shop more fabulous outerwear from Charles River Apparel, you can buy straight from Amazon ! 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  Don't forget to enter the Urban Philosophy Giveaway from yesterday's post!  Linkups below.

Happy Friday Eve!

 

Shewl.  It has been a rough week.  November is one of the busiest months at my 9-5 gig, things are picking up with the blog, Holiday shopping and planning have begun, getting back in shape {nope} volunteer projects, etc. etc....  Anxiety is in full swing in my day-to-day and I find myself making list after list to deal with it {please tell me I am not the only one that feels making the same list 6 times a day helps to relieve some of my anxiety about time management.}  But, as much as I like to complain about it, I like busy.  I love busy.  I have always been the girl who signs up for just one more task even though I will be crying at 1:00 in the morning trying to finish everything.  I just feel better about myself and life when I have a full plate. 

 

I also love printed coats.  They are such an easy way to add interest to a typically plain outfit.  I found this b&w one at a local boutique a few years ago for a steal and I wear it more than I ever thought I would.  I paired it with this nude number from my most recent tote and kept everything else a tad conservative for work.

 

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed a new additional to the daily stack.  This adorable tan bracelet from Chelsea Carroll Designs is handmade and completely customizable.  I chose to add M <3 M charms {Maggie & Matt}.  There are hundreds of options with all of the colors and charms available.  Go check out her website and create one to remind you of someone/something special.  -or to just add to the arm party.
