FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday, Friends!  I don't know about you but we're excited to be kicking off the upcoming holiday week.  We are actually hosting at our house this year so we're working to get allllll the things ready.  I've pulled out some Christmas things but am stuck trying to figure out how much I want to do before Thanksgiving.  We have some birthdays this time of year too so we'll just be celebrating all kinds of things!  I think this week's Five Friday Favorites are lots of fun, let's get to them! 

1) Ever since wandering into one of her stores when we went to London over 10 years ago, I've been a Cath Kidston fan!  Her designs are delightful, colorful, and whimsical and I was thrilled to come across some pieces lately at one of my favorite budget friendly stores.  I fell in love with the "Snow Day" pattern immediately and scooped up a set of sheets to use on my daughter's bed through the holiday season.  


The scenes depicted are just precious even down to the tiny music notes coming from the band's instruments. Actually, I loved all of the patterns and it was hard to choose! I'm very tempted to also add the "Snow Day" quilt set, and I keep eyeing the "Shine Bright" duvet set for my own bed through the holidays.  



Side note:  I never told you I redid the wall behind her bed and a few other things in her room over 4 years ago...  one of these days I'll get around to shooting a current tour of her room! (Here's how it looked before.)  See all available Cath Kidston here, there are several darling home and personal items as well. 

"Snow Day" Sheet Set  ||  Split Butterfly Art (Huge 40% off art prints sale, best all year!)  || Black and White Peel and Stick Wallpaper  or Similar Here ||  Black Border Duvet Cover or Similar Here  ||  Similar Euro Shams Here  || DIY Upholstered Headboard


2) I've admired these brass salt and pepper mills for years.  When I came across a great sale on the set this week, I immediately added it to my Christmas wish list!  It also comes in a beautiful chrome finish if that's more your preference. 



3)  I've got several new tops that I haven't shared with you yet, so I'm just lumping them in one big group today as one of my favorites. First, this ruffle edge gingham button up is fantastic!  It comes in a lot of colors and is true to size, although it seems like mine did shrink just a bit in the sleeve length (it's cotton) after washing. It's such a good deal, I've reordered and have 3 colors now! 

Ruffle Collar Gingham Shirt Sunglasses | Loafers | (Can't link sweater or pants)


The navy gingham shirt that I've had for years is thin and lightweight and the collar is flimsy- not great for layering.  I set out searching for a new one and this Mens shirt checked all the boxes!  Cotton with the tiniest bit of stretch, no buttons on the collar so it doesn't look so much like a men's shirt, a price you won't believe, and a great collar to pop! It's a men's slim fit, I got a Large.  The body is fairly long but perfect if you want to wear it with leggings, and the arms are long as well. 



My all time favorite black and white gingham shirt is still available too, and coming in at $16 another steal of a deal!


This rugby is giving me all the fashion feels from my teen years!  Five stars, great fit and fabric.  It took a little while to arrive at the time I bought but worth the wait.  Several colors, Emily got the green and navy stripe and I just noticed she brought it home with her for the week, I might have to borrow it while she's here! I'm in a M for a relaxed fit. Just noticed it's on Black Friday deal too... score! 


Two sale tops I wanted to mention so you don't miss out, my cotton flag sweater is on clearance for under $15!  The white is sold out but navy is still available, stocked in all sizes XS-4X. 


And, I've been watching for this red plaid button up to go on sale, and it just did! Another men's style, but again I like that the collar points don't have the buttons so it's not as noticeable.  My order is on the way! 



4)  A couple of sale home items that I love of note- I just spotted the scalloped block print style Christmas Tree skirt that I bought last year, and it's $10 less than I paid making it under $20! There are several colors and patterns available and it's a nice 60" size. 

Tree Skirt || Ribbons on Tree- Red Polka Dot, Blush Pink Velvet, Pink Gingham, Red Velvet || Large Satin Gift Bows Red and Blush Pink


My 2 pack blue and white footbath/planter set is 40% off!  I fill the large one with ornaments at Christmas and it sits empty on this shelf the rest of the year.  I have plants in the smaller one but both of them are fabulous containers to drop orchid pots into as well. 



5) A few notable sales:  All Sale is an extra 40% off at Anthropologie! There are some great deals and gift ideas to be found, here are a few that caught my eye. 

FASHION FINDS



HOME FINDS



Also, I mentioned above with the butterfly art but Urban Garden Prints, my favorite online art source is having their biggest sale of the year.  40% off is a significant discount!  Both Moth Art pieces in my dining room came from this shop, they have a huge variety to choose from that is all fabulous!

Lots of early Black Friday deals already happening, check out My Amazon Shop where I save all of my favorites (most things I list are things I personally own and love!).
