FRIDAY EVE FAVORITES – November Edition

I’m back! Been a little busy doing a thing…

In late September, I opened Textured Threads Boutique, which has been fun to make a longtime plan/dream come into fruition! It’s a whole store full of my favorite things…brands, clothing, and jewelry. I won’t duplicate a lot in this space, but feel free to check out the online shopping, follow us on Instagram or if you are local to Waco, swing by the Textured Threads Boutique inside Sironia! Until then, here are a few of my favorite things…

Stainless Steel Bangles

These are the PERFECT bangle bracelets…the layered look without the weight. They are so light and easy to wear, I cannot stand heavy jewelry as I am no Mr. T. These beauties are tiny springs, they stretch and rebound to an extent, but will lose shape if pulled with force. So, you roll them on and off a few at a time.  They come in Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Black options. They come $25 for a set of 20. I wear 3 sets daily, only to live up to my “extra-ness”.

COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray

This spray is the only Anti-humidity spray that has ever worked for me. It not only prevents frizz, but makes my hair silky. I use it on towel dried hair, right before I blow-dry in sections.

Zoey Lane

These Handcrafted Oyster Shells are so gorgeous! They make great gifts as well. I have one by every sink to hold my rings, or to just stare at lovingly. A friend of mine creates them with her tiny hands and magnificent talent. Check out Zoey Lane to see all the beautiful designs! This new endeavor and her creativity is just getting started… Follow and stay tuned for more!

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask 

I got Invisalign Braces in March and have struggled with chapped lips since. I’ve tried everything. Literally everything. My friend, Tiffany, introduced me to this last weekend and it quickly became a favorite. I know it’s only been a week, but I can already tell a difference. This product has a great texture. I also wear it when not sleeping.

Bella Grace Magazine

A precious friend gifted me this magazine for my birthday and I absolutely fell in LOVE. It’s my favorite magazine in life, a combination of a good book and best friend. “Bella Grace is meant to be savored. To get tossed in your beach bag, or tucked under your pillow to enjoy before bed. It is meant to be read over and over again. It is meant to be written in and dog-eared. To inspire you. To discover magic in ordinary moments and accompany you on this beautiful adventure that is life.”

Clear Plastic Tumblers

I am very particular. There. I said it. I don’t like drinking from glass. The sweating just makes me cringe. I wanted pretty cups for dinners at home. Found these on Amazon and they are perfection. My sipping game is happy.

Vitamin C Gummies

We’ve tried a lot of Vitamin C, and these seem to be everyone’s favorites in our house. The boys don’t complain or require force feeding for these vitamins. We eat them like candy. We passed them out in place of candy on Halloween. I’m kidding. But I am saying if we had, we would have been voted Best Candy and Most Healthy this Halloween.

I’ve missed you friends. Until next time….

Onward,

Textured Threads GIVEAWAY!

One thing has been certain this winter, getting compliments on this bag and clutch. The conversations sparked by the beauties have ranged from finding out how many left-handed grandkids one lady had…to being prayed over by a precious gal, who I seriously suspected might have been Tammy Faye Baker visiting from heaven.  Her lashes were incredible, and so separated.

I got this from my friend, Alison, at Elevate at the Findery  (Click on her store name to visit all the gorgeous goodies she has!).  I seriously love it.  It is obviously NOT a real axis…(for you peta peeps), it feels more like velvet fur.  I carry the whole bag everyday, with the clutch inside.  If I’m running in the store, I just grab the clutch and leave the bag that carries the rest of my life and all my books.

Few things make me happier than giving a gift. It’s a serious thing here.  I have a closet set aside for gifts that have yet to be wrapped or given.  Me, the same gal who sat in a PTO Fall Festival meeting ten years ago and snuffed a snort when another mom mentioned her gift closet.  Huh?  My gift closet was located at Target, and I usually swung by on the way to the birthday party we were running late to.

So, I’ve grown.

I’d also love for this blog space to grow in subscribers and friends.  Which calls for a GIVEAWAY!

Shoes, Textured Threads

Textured Threads

I love clothes.  I love fashion.  I love funky shoes.

I’ve already used too many words to explain something most people know.  Because of this fact, we are going to start a weekly Textured Threads post that is purely superficial and shallow, yet hopefully helpful!  I say “we” because a couple of friends will contribute from time to time.  No precious words or complex thoughts.  Just fun fashion.   At this point, I have said no to having a boutique of any kind because, time.  Instead, let us point you in the direction!

Here are my new favorite casual slip on sneakers. You can click on the title for the link on where to find them!

These shoes are so comfy.  I wear them to everything when I’m not working.  It’s like my feet are saying, “I’m so casual and ready to party. In a jungle.”  I also plan my trips to the metroplex around this Boutique’s schedule.  I stalk them without shame – in return, they clothe me well.  So, we are basically in a relationship.  I usually wear a 7 in most shoes, these I comfortably wear a 6.5.

Camo is a love language of mine.  Not the camouflage you would find in the perfectly organzied, hunting room at our house, but cute camo.  Stay in your lane friend, I know mine well.  Also, on a side note, I’m newly obsessed with Evereve, and recently signed on for their Trendsend , the subscription style service made for moms! Stay tuned!

Classic. I love these.  Oatmeal is a current favorite, a warm winter neutral.

Found @ Nordstroms

 

There I was, walking in Target – helping a friend find some goods to help organize her office..and then, BAM!  Quirky love at first sight.  A more reasonable option for some fun slip on sneakers.  They are so comfy too.

Here is another pair that I’ve had my eye on…for the days I want to embrace the Native American roots.
