Happy Friday! B and I are off today and we are looking forward to a four-day weekend! He and I are heading to Atlanta for my final doctor’s appointment this morning, so we won’t exactly be doing anything exciting, but once my appointment is over we will be footloose and fancy free for four whole days! I’m so excited I might explode!
Here are a
few favorites to kick off your weekend…
O N E – Fall Décor at Target
I pretty much
always stick to Hobby Lobby for all things holiday décor. If I’m ever in need of something that Hobby
Lobby doesn’t have then I might check Michaels, TJ Maxx, or Marshall’s, but I
have never really shopped much at Target for fall or Christmas décor
items.
Well, I stopped
in there yesterday on my lunch break to grab a birthday gift for a friend and I
had a few extra minutes, so I headed over to the fall and Halloween section to
have a quick look. You guys, they have
the best stuff to decorate for fall! I
collect pumpkins (you’ll see this in my upcoming fall home tour post) and these little sweater pumpkins about did me in!
How cute and unique!
I went online
a little bit later to see what else they had and their selection was pretty extensive. Who knew?
I guess I
should have known, because well, TARGET.
T W O – PSL is Back?
Hopefully as
you’re reading this I’m riding down the road with a Tall Decaf Pumpkin Spice
Latte in hand. Rumor is they’ll be
released today, so I’m going to go ahead and add it to my favorites for the
week. I guess if I’m not able to get one
then I’ll have to add it to my list of complaints next week. ;o)
Quick
question for all of your Starbucks connoisseurs – does anybody know if you can
get a PSL “skinny?” And is it actually
good? The Starbucks website doesn’t
mention a skinny version anywhere, but I would love to try it if they do.
T H R E E – Dramatic Sleeves for Fall
Have you seen
the new trend for fall? Statement
sleeves are in and I’m really excited about it.
I love a good, dramatic sleeve – bell sleeves, pleated sleeves, flared
sleeves, tiered sleeves, you name it. I
have seen them popping up everywhere and even Old Navy and Target are already
jumping on board. I mentioned about a
month ago that I bought this top when it was on major sale, and I’m really excited that the weather
should be cool enough to wear it soon.
If you’re interested in trying the trend but you don’t want to spend an
arm and a leg on something that will go out of style quickly, I found this sweater, this poplin top, and this dress, and all are under $27.
F O U R – How to Stage Your House for
Hosting Guests
Did you catch my post on Tuesday? The next four months
will bring lots of excuses to host parties and gatherings – football,
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve…
If you plan
on hosting a party for any occasion, you might want to check out my handy dandy
checklist of things to do before the guests arrive. These are all of the things that I do to get
our house ready before we have company over to make our house warm and
inviting.
F I V E – Oh My Glitter Etsy Shop
Finally, my
friend Heather who blogs at My Glittery Heart has an Etsy shop and she is
currently working to reach 1,000 followers on Instagram. Once she does, she is going to host a great
giveaway! I love Heather because she’s
down to earth, she’s very talented, and she and I have an extra special bond because
we are both Georgia girls… we love our Georgia Bulldogs! Anyway, you’re probably wondering what she
sells in her Etsy shop? Well, she sells
the cutest glittery wine glasses, tumblers, and mugs as well as several other
items. All of her ideas are clever and
cute, and they make perfect gifts for friends, family, and teachers. Christmas is coming, y’all, and it’s never
too early to start shopping! And don’t
forget to follow her on Instagram so she can meet her goal! Good luck, Heather!
Happy Friday,
happy September, happy long weekend, happy first college football weekend, and
HAPPY UNOFFICIAL START OF FALL, Y’ALL!
GO DAWGS!!!!
*Linking up with A Liz Adventures and Carolina Charm for Five on Friday, A Little Bit of Everything for Friday Favorites, September Farm and The Farmer's Wife for Oh Hey, Friday, Meet @ the Barre for Friday Favorites, and Cup of Tea for High Five for Friday.
Hope you get to enjoy a PSL this morning!!! Love that glittery wine glass - super, super cute! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I hope you get your PSL this morning! Good Luck at your appointment! I'm praying for you! Think of me when you get Tin Lizzy's for lunch ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for the LOVE this morning!! you are so sweet! That means so much to me!
Happy "Dawgs" weekend!! :)
You can get it made nonfat no whip but I'm pretty sure they don't have a sugar free syrup! That's how I always get mine made and I feel much better about drinking it. You need to let me know if the rumor is true because if it is, I'm heading to Starbucks after school haha! Good luck today!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
Oh girl, I'm gonna get my PSL on this morning too!! Yep, skim milk, no whip but no sugar free there but if you want to make one at home, Home Goods has sugar free pumpkin syrup. Good luck at your appointment. You are going to have the BEST long weekend, I just know it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! I'll start ordering mine with skim milk and no whip!
DeleteHope you're drinking that PSL right now! Have a great four-day weekend!
ReplyDeleteFall is offically here when PSL's are available. Cheers! I'm a huge fan of Hobby Lobby. Just give me all the things from there. If only I didn't have a budget. :)
ReplyDeleteHope the appointment goes well for you!! I'm pretty pumped because I'm working from home on the heels of a long weekend and that's amazing! Can't wait to check out the fall decor at Target! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteOoo hope you're enjoying your PSL!! Love the dramatic sleeves too!
ReplyDeleteMy OTS top has dramatic sleeves, holy crap... I am on trend with something, lololol! Hope that PSL is in your hand girl. I am sure I could hop on IG and find out!
ReplyDeleteYay, fall!!! I just went to Target yesterday, too, and grabbed some happy fall things! Happy September! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy September!! The best!
DeleteI'm also super excited about pumpkin everything. Hoping to hit up Starbucks today for my 1st PSL of the season. Have a great holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, April! And thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing about a skinny version of a PSL. I think it's doubtful because you actually need like sugar syrup but man I wish they'd do it! You can get it with Soy or Non-Fat milk...that helps!
ReplyDeletewww.shesleaninginblog.com
Yes! Thank you! I'm going to start ordering mine with skim milk and no whip!
DeleteEnjoy your ATL weekend!! Target has awesome holiday decor but I try to wait until the holiday is over to snag stuff on sale. I find great stuff at Michael's and also Dollar Tree!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that pretty Fall wine glass. I can't wait to decorate for Fall this weekend! Have a great weekend. Hope your appointment goes well.
ReplyDeleteI love those tops, from Old Navy right? That's my go to for all things Fall; I love their clothing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got a PSL this morning! I thought about going...but decided to skip the long lines, since it wasn't available on the app.
ReplyDeleteGotta go check out that adorable Etsy shop!
Hope y'all have a good, long weekend!
xo, Lily

Did they have PSLs? I didn't see them on the app or on the store board because I did go there today! lol! I like the tops that are 3/4 sleeve length and end with a bell type sleeve, I want to find one of those for me. I got a few of the little pumpkins for target! I have to decorate still but they'll be in my $10 at Target post!
ReplyDeleteLove those tops! I tried a dress from ON with the bell sleeves, and I adored the print and sleeves, but the actual dress was a potato sack. Darn! Enjoy your long weekend!
ReplyDeleteI recently got a lot of cute items from the Target Dollar Spot for Fall! They always have great decor!
ReplyDeleteYes they do! What did we ever do without the Target Dollar Spot?!
DeleteI was never a fall person, but I seem to have become one over the past few years! All of those pumpkin decorations are so cute! I better stay away from Target haha!
ReplyDeleteI love that statement sleeves are in!! I am going to need to expand my wardrobe a bit I think!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes you should!! So many cute things for fall!
