Happy Friday Cuties!
Guess what?!? MY PHONE FINALLY CAME IN!!!!!!
Holy Moly, these past few weeks have been a test of patience. It normally doesn’t take insurance that long to send a new phone in, but our original paperwork was supposedly submitted wrong and we didn’t know it, so that’s why the process took so much longer than usual!
Anyways, I finally have one and I hope you all had a great week!
Wednesday was an actual dream for me because I got to meet Kendra Scott at her launch party for the new Charms Collection! I didn’t think I was going to be nervous about meeting her until I literally started talking to her and had a heat flash -ha! I have always been a fan of her and her jewelry line, but after listening to her speak at the Reward Style Conference back in April, I gained a whole new level of appreciation for her.
As you all saw, yesterday was Colton’s birthday! I surprised him with little gifts throughout the day (Starbucks in the morning, cupcakes at lunch & etc.) to make him feel special! This is something we have done for each other pretty much since we first started dating and it has just stuck! They are never huge or expensive gifts, but rather random acts of kindness.
Then last night we had at an event at Saks Fifth Avenue for the launch of the Lafayette 148 fall collection (it’s gorgeous – btw!) and then met friends for drinks to celebrate Colton’s birthday after!
FRIDAY FRILLS
High and Low of the week?
Low: Not having a phone. Obvi.
High(s): I got over my sinus infection, my new phone came in, I met Kendra Scott and celebrated Colton’s birthday!!

Movie to Netflix
- To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – If you haven’t seen this, watch immediately! I read the book and it was amazing but the movie is just as sweet. It’s raw, kind and pure. I haven’t seen a sweet teenage romcom like this in forever! I’ve watched it at least 5x already and even Colton liked it!
- The Kissing Booth: If you are looking for another sweet teenage romantic comedy, then I recommend this one! It’s not as good at To All The Boys but I still liked it!
