Friday Favorites – Weekly Inspiration

Welcome to Friday Favorites, a series where we share our favorite decor, design inspiration, fashion finds, TV shows, recipes and more!

Our weather has been warming up and now my daughter is home for spring break so I have to say, I’m ready for spring! That promise of a new season full of gardens blooming brings a smile to my face – which might be why I’m sharing a few pretty gardens today! I can’t wait to work on ours, add some flowers and clean up the patio furniture. 

Here’s to the official start of spring and some sunshine on all our faces… and Friday Favorites!

 

THINGS I LOVE IN DESIGN/DECOR

This floral design studio is stunning. I think I need one! 😉

 

Can you believe Easter is less than a month away? I don’t usually go all out with decor, but a few cute bunnies and some nods to the season are always welcome! I love these stone sculptural ones, and I’ve had these cute ones for several years. Both of these could be used indoors or out! And this wire egg carrier is just like my vintage one!

If you’re entertaining at all (or need a hostess gift for wherever you’re landing) either this adorable serving bowl or this cute smaller one are perfect! Add these special glasses or these adorable plates and your table is set!

And you can’t go wrong with a cheerful spring wreath on the door! This one is gorgeous, as is this one, love the lavender tones of this one, and the eggs on this one are so cute! I’m thinking these Lily of the Valley are about the sweetest faux flowers ever, and I adore the wispy springy feel of this bouquet. They’d be perfect in this rustic vase (great price for the size!)

 

THINGS I’M WEARING/LOVING/WANTING

Spring makes me crazy for all things pretty, do you feel that way? I’m ready for florals and lots of pink, and maybe an Easter dress! If you’re looking for florals, this blouse and this one are great.

I love this pretty dress for Easter, graduation or a spring wedding, this one has a slightly more casual feel as does this one (love the color). And this skirt! I’m so in love (just ordered it today!)

With pants or jeans I love this breezy cotton top in white as well as this short sleeved option (lots of colors), and this chambray top is so cute! And this linen blazer is a STEAL! I love it in the pink and the navy (above) and the white is such a staple – you seriously can’t go wrong!

And remember I shared how much I’m loving all-things-rattan last week? Here’s another fun sandal for you, and this one is a great dupe for much less (scroll through to get to the rattan version).

 

THINGS I’M WATCHING/READING/LISTENING TO

Bridgerton Season 2 is tonight!!! Though I must admit, it’s been so long since I saw the first season, I’m worried I’ve forgotten a lot of it. Kind of wish I would have binged it again last week!

And it’s the Oscars this weekend!!!! Can you tell I’m a little excited to see the show?! 😉 There are hosts – yay! There are stars – in person – yay! We used to have friends over and do a whole thing, but of course that’s been gone the last couple of years, so I’m really looking forward to resuming our tradition!

 

THINGS I’M MAKING/EATING/DRINKING

So since we’re talking Oscars, here’s a few of the things we’ll be making. We’re starting with my favorite cocktail ever, a Basil Vodka Gimlet.

And a few of the appetizers will be this out-of-this-world Caramelized Onion Dip, this Avocado and Feta Cheese Dip, and these Stuffed Mushrooms. 

 

RANDOM THOUGHTS

This beautiful rose farm has an equally beautiful Instagram account.

See how this blogger made a faux tree that looks oh-so-real! I’m dying to do this!
