Friday Favorites- Lots and Lots of Food

That seems to be a general trend around here, doesn’t it? Between my mom and I, we subscribe to a lot of different blogs- food, fashion and everything in between. It’s awesome to see what other blogger’s are up to- it’s so inspiring!

A handful of blog posts that popped up in my inbox this week were so great that I just had to share them with you all. And it just so happens that many of them are food related. So get ready to drool- hope you enjoy!

Gimme Some Oven: Banana Bread Smoothie

Doesn’t this look and sound absolutely incredible?

A Beautiful Mess: Easy (and Healthy!) Three Ingredient Ice Cream

You might remember a similar post on our blog- Banana Ice Cream. It’s a total hit during the summer- easy, healthy and delicious! That great thing about this post from A Beautiful Mess is that they include a ton of great ways to mix up the basic recipe.

Skunkboy Blog: 5 DIY’s I’m Dying to Try

I’m not a crafty person- it’s just not one of my strengths. I loved this DIY post from Skunkboy blog though- so many cute ideas! I especially love the homemade fire starters (shown above). Also, the colorful backgammon game is amazing!

The Pioneer Woman: Crunchy French Toast

Oh my goodness. This Crunchy French Toast looks like heaven- french toast battered in sweetened panko and then cooked in butter…yummmmmm.

Proverbs 31 Ministries: Why Did This Happen God?

Lysa Terkeurst’s devotions are awesome- I’d highly recommend checking them out. I especially loved what she had to say about Philippians 4:12-13- a verse that can sometimes be tough to swallow, and is always tough to live out. Worth the read.

That’s it for today- have an amazing weekend!

Fashion Friday- Real jeans? What are those?

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

I don’t ever wear real, denim jeans anymore. I hope I’m not alone in this. All my “jeans” are really more jeggings- way stretchier and comfier than the original. I’ve tried on real jeans a couple of times recently, and I just can’t convince myself that I’d wear them. Comfort is king.

Madewell Boyjean

But boyfriend jeans?? Maybe, just maybe, I could get behind those. These jeans from Madewell are super cute and actually look comfortable. Time will tell if I actually end up wearing real jeans again at some point 😉

And now for the rest of Fashion Friday, which happens to have nothing to do with jeans. Real or otherwise.

Journey to Bali Top

I love the color and fabric of this top- it dresses up the otherwise casual tank top.

Montauk Me Through It Bootie

These are adorable and seem really versatile.

Forest Trove Plaid Hi-Lo Top

My favorite type of top.

Woven Shift Dress

This dress is on sale at Nordstrom right now- it comes in a ton of cute patterns and colors, and is only $21.90.

Dew as I Do Ring Set

This is just plain gorgeous.

North Caicos Printed Dress

So summery and cute.

Free People Sweet Talk Dress

This is an unusual pick for me, but something about the unusual silhouette and length caught my eye. It could be super cute on.

Have to Tri These Earrings

These are simple and pretty, but a little unusual with the wood.

Saltwater Sweets Top

Have you seen all the gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. products floating around lately? If you haven’t, look them up- such beautiful stuff. Anyways, this pattern reminds me of something they’d make.

That’s it for today! Have an amazing weekend!

Fashion Friday- Oh! Hey you.

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

Yep. We’re still alive. We kind of dropped off the (blogging) map the last couple of weeks, but we’re back now! Hope you enjoy today’s Fashion Friday, and have an amazing weekend!

Volcom Lived In Stripe Tee

This shirt. Best purchase ever. It’s super soft and comfy and amazing.

Stuck on You Lace Dress

Isn’t this adorable? I love the unusual swing silhouette.

Astoria Weekend Sandal

These are so cute! I love the block heel.

Valley View Embroidered Dress

So beautiful and delicate.

Lost My Mind Tee

All the makings of a perfect t-shirt.

Give Me Gracefulness Slip

This is technically a slip, but wouldn’t it be a super cute dress?

Contrast of Characters Top

Love the colors and cut of this one.

Cozy Fleece Joggers

Oh my goodness. These look incredible.

Garden Marvels Dress

I love this color!

Fashion Friday- Themes

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions, other obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

As I was looking through my fashion board on Pinterest, I noticed some definite themes, and I thought it would be fun to share a couple of the styles I’ve been loving lately.

Pleated Skirts

I bought a green pleated midi skirt at a resale store for last year’s Halloween costume. It turned out that I love wearing the skirt normally, so that purchase was a total win-win. I’m loving how these gals styled their pleated skirts- they look cute and a bit fancy.

Blue & White

Blue and white is just a timeless combination.

Crochet & Lace

Crochet and lace are always a favorite, but they seem especially springy and fun right now.

Black & White

Another timeless combination. Maybe it’s just me, but wearing just black and white seems to make any outfit elegant.

Polka Dots & Stripes

Polka dots and stripes forever. Seriously, what’s better than a great striped shirt or a cute polka dotted skirt? Nothing, in my opinion 🙂

That’s it! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

Fashion Friday- In Case You Want a Gift for Yourself

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

Considering that most of us are in the throes of Christmas shopping right now, the chances that you’re going to want to buy clothes right now seems slim, but in case you’re looking for a last minute gift, here’s your chance to find it! Or, better yet, buy something for yourself, and label it from “Santa”- you’ll fool everyone 😉
