As much as I love this time of year, my schedule has been jam packed all month and the exhaustion and overload is epic this year. I've loved every second of it, but I am really looking forward to Christmas next week and having a week and a half off to recharge.
1. I went to Starbucks on Tuesday with one of my fav co-workers, and we were looking forward to another Holiday Spiced Flat White, but alas they were out of said "holiday spice". The barista had the idea of adding cinnamon and nutmeg to our skinny vanilla lattes instead, and it was a win!
2. For my work Christmas party this year we enjoyed a fun happy hour with yummy apps and drinks which featured their own brewed craft beers, wine, and specialty cocktails. Lots of wine and good times were had, it's always great to disconnect from work and celebrate the year together.
3. Roxy always gets excited for her monthly
Chewy shipment, and I love that she's getting natural healthy treats. She's been enjoying Blue Buffalo
Mini Blue Bars with apples and yogurt.
4. I've been sporadic in blog land lately, and have a lot of catch up on reading to do of my daily favs. So, I rounded up some of my posts from the past few weeks in case you're playing catch up as well. Tis the season!
5. Loving my recent finds on Pinterest, so much beautiful festiveness!
Linking up today with Rebecca for That Friday Blog Hop, April for 5 on Friday, Tif for High Five for Friday, and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Hop on over and join us! Happy Friday!
I can't decide which one I like more - the pink flow skirt or the gold sequins!! Love both looks!! Roxy is SO cute!! What a great looking pup!

Work HH holiday parties, gingerbread martinis and afternoon delicious coffees? Sounds like a pretty awesome week to me!! Hopefully you have some down time to try and recover from all of the activities you've had going on!
ReplyDeleteI love when barista's whip something up special for you! And those leggings... omg I die. SO pretty! I need those in my life ASAP! Happy Friday sweets! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of places run out of the holiday flat whites...how that's possible I don't know!! Your work holiday party looked like lots of fun and I love the pin with the gorgeous wrapping!! Happy Friday! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteGreat favs!! Super cute pins, I love the cheese tree and leggings! Glad you got your Starbucks on, I sigh an "oh man" when they are out of something I am craving, glad it worked out and oh Merry weekend gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYay for having time off! But really, I can't believe Christmas is in A WEEK.
ReplyDeleteYum--gingerbread cheesecake dip sounds amazing! This month seriously has been jam packed! You enjoy your time off next week and relax!

I so wish all companies closed between Christmas and New Year's.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I had a break this time of year. In fact, I just found out that I have to work on Christmas Eve until 5pm. The whole day. No leaving early and they certainly will not close early. It really upset me but it is what it is. I'm trying not for it to ruin my Christmas but it is hard. Those gingerbread martini's look so good.
ReplyDeleteomg those pants in the second pin - i NEED them in my life. holidays are def hectic for sure! cheers to holiday parties and lots of champs to get us through! love that!

Totally agree that this time of year is crazy busy, I'm counting down to having a break too. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour work party sounds so fun! I spy oysters in the photo although i know you wouldn't like them. Where was the party at? i'm always looking for places that sell oyster. Hope you get some resting in this weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteI looked at my calendar and have very little on there for next week, and I'm so excited! I thought this month I would relax but it has been weirdly busy. Happy Friday, get some rest :)
ReplyDeleteThat work party sounds super fun! Love all you recent pins! That gingerbread dip looks delicious :)

Dying over the pictures of Roxy! She should make more appearances on the blog! She would be a great accessory to some of your outfits :)
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of the new holiday spice flat white, I think you were better off with the concoction that your barista created. That sounded delicious! Great stocking picks!

ReplyDeleteIt definitely sounds like you've had a busy but fun week! Work Christmas parties are always so much fun because it gives you a chance to hang out with your coworkers outside of the office. Love that Roxy really enjoys her Chewy shipment! Dart always gets so excited when his Bark Box arrives every month!

I still haven't tried the holiday flat white - I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteGingerbread martinis = yes please!
And I have those same embellished black leggings pinned! Wish I could find something like that in the real world. (By "real world" I mean "Target.")
I am totally behind too trying to play catch up. Love all the Pinterest finds, Jessica Alba looks flawless.
