Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! :)

We're still enjoying the summer and I kind of want to cry seeing it get dark so early and no longer light out when I wake up in the morning already.  We filled our week with lots of playing outside (rain or shine!), an ice cream date with auntie and Ellie even got in some swimming while I was at work one day. :)  Plus, lots of pig tails + a tiny top knot with a lot of attitude.

While we're still loving summer, it doesn't mean I can't look forward to fall and all the fun things it brings!  The past couple nights have been so nice and cool for sleeping - a preview of the change in seasons, for sure!  Lots of fall flavored goodies to share today, including finding pumpkin spice k-cups at the grocery store this week. ;)

There are tons of festive bows + hair accessories out now and we have some fun posts + giveaways coming soon!  In the meantime, our friends at Isla Ann Inspirations released some adorable fall sailor bows earlier this week and they are too cute for words!  The pumpkin print might be my favorite.

Toddlers in scarves.  Need I say more?  I've seen them popping up all over my Instagram feed this week and am loving every one of them!  I grabbed a plaid one from Emmy's Pretties (if it sells out, she has restocked multiple times already so definitely check back!), but there are a ton of gorgeous ones up for grabs at Will & Tess.  They have girls, boys + plenty of unisex styles, plus a ton of other hand-dyed, organic goodies.  If you want to be super cute and coordinate with you little lady (or man!), you could grab this ladies one and this children's one and be all kinds of adorable.

All. the. things. at Old Navy, yes?!  If I had to narrow down my tippity top choices for Miss Ellie, I'd say this tutu dress (shocking) and these shoes that are a similar style to the sandals she and I both loved.  BUT, if you haven't checked out the new arrivals already... run, don't walk.  Everything is 30% off (no code needed) through 8/20!

I usually pick out a couple things for myself each season too, and a plaid button-down was number one on my list for the fall.  I ordered this one and can't wait to see how it looks when it arrives!  I tend to wear the same five shirts on repeat and plan to add my new flannel into the weekly rotation for the change in seasons. :)  Also loving this necklace that would be perfect for fall layering!

I got a few comments on my "my kitchen is for dancing" towel that was in the background of one of my Instagram photos this week.  It's from Parris Chic Boutique and they have a ton of gorgeous home decor pieces!  We have a few things from their shop and love them all.  I highly recommend checking them out!

Lastly... calling all dog mamas!  We are huge animal lovers and while we don't have a dog at the moment, we do have plans to get one eventually... like, after having a couple more human children, if we haven't lost our minds by that point. :)  So, somewhere down the road we'll have that yellow lab puppy we dream of, but in the mean time I'm sharing this one for all of you who actually own dogs currently! ;)  Kai Krates sells affordable monthly dog subscriptions, filled with toys, chews + treats for your fur babies!  The boxes come tailored to your size pup and you can get monthly, three month or six month subscriptions.  Be sure to check out Kai Krates and use code LIFEASANOEL for 10% off your first order!  I think they'd make some adorable gifts and love the idea of not knowing exactly what your pup's going to get.  Pets deserve happy mail days, too. ;)

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!!
