Happy Summer Friday

Happy Friday! I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughtful words and support this week as our beautiful city is hurting. What I love more than ever is how everyone is coming together with so much support and love.


1. My job rolled out Summer Fridays this year, and everyone is super excited to take advantage of this great benefit. I will definitely be cashing in some of those bad boys for some upcoming long weekend trips, and couldn't be more thankful that I have this option.


2. I've teamed up with some fabulous ladies to celebrate Emelia's blogiversary. Let's just say I'll be super jealous of the lucky winner of this gorgeous palette and $50 Sephora gift card. Happy entering!
 Kate // Emelia

So let's pop the champagne (palette) and get this party started! A celebration is in order for 2 years of blogging at Dream Big and Buy the Shoes and a bunch of my blogger babes are helping with all the fun. A group of us have put together the chance to win a $50 Sephora Gift Card and Becca x Jacyln Hill Champagne Glow Face Palette to ONE LUCKY WINNER. Details are listed in the giveaway widget below. 


3. I mentioned on Monday that we went car shopping over the weekend, and it was down to the Acura RDX and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Well the RDX won the negotiations, and came out cheaper than the Jeep (whodathunk). I now have a new "Pearly", and was super emotional turning back in my former car. Am I the only one who gets like that?


4. Have I talked about how much I'm loving that MAC finally has a rewards program? Aside from free shipping, samples upon checkout, and building up points I received a card in the mail recently for a free eyeshadow to celebrate my MAC anniversary. I decided to go bold and chose cranberry which I think will be beautiful for some more dramatic looks, especially around the holidays.


5. Loving my recent finds on Pinterest:








Linking up today with Rebecca for That Friday Blog Hop, April for 5 on Friday, Tif for High Five for Friday, Lauren for Fab Favorites, and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Hop on over and join us! Happy Friday!

    Congrats on the new car! I totally got emotional when I sold my last car in January. It was the first car I bought myself, paid off, etc. It felt like my "big girl car" so it was definitely emotional. I've moved on since then but any time I see my old car out on the road it makes me sorta sentimental! :)
    Love that you have those Fridays off! So awesome!!!

    Enjoy your summer Fridays!!! I can't pretend that I'm not jealous. Congrats on the new car! I was the same way getting rid of my car and getting an SUV to fit the kiddos. Of course I love it now but parting is such sweet sorrow. Enjoy your weekend :) Beautifully Candid

    Such a great roundup! You are not the only one who gets emotional about giving in your car, I do too! I bought a new car last summer and felt so bad giving up my old one (luckily my son took it!) but as soon as I got my new baby I was like "old car who?" I love my new ride, I'm sure you will too! xx Rox-Anne, Celebratingthislife.ca

    Summer Fridays are awesome, more companies should do it. We do ours year round and it makes coming to work just a little bit easier knowing I have that extra day. Great choice for the eye shadow and those skirts from Pinterest are cute! My goal was to keep my car for 10 years when I bought it, but it's been 6 years and I've been really itching to get another one. There are certain things about my car like all the cup holders that make for a great road trip car that I would hate to give up, lol. #itsthelittlethings

    How is it that the Acura cost less than the Jeep? I love the pearly white. I got emotional when I gave up my car for my new one. I totally get that. And yay for Summer Fridays!!!

    Congrats on the new car!!! What a beaut!!! I am going to be looking again this weekend. I cried when I sold my Camry before getting my current car....but this car? I am so ready to unload. It has been such a jinx and I want it gone! I have got to get in to this MAC rewards program, that eye shadow is gorgeous!!! I love places that give back because they know you are going to shop there anyways. You always have the best pins! Have a great weekend!
