Friday Favorites: Can't Live Without

TGIF! What a warm week it's been. Actually, it hasn't been that warm but anything that isn't cold and rainy just feels wonderful!! I've done my best to work outside under the sun amidst the bird songs as much as possible.

I've always wanted to attend a favorite things party, and last week I got to! We had so much fun over fondue and our go-to products. I came home learning about so many new things and with some to try for myself. 

I feel like we all appreciate first hand recommendations. There's truth and reliability there when someone we know can vouch for something. 

So, if I was able to gift y'all the things I can't live without here's 10 things you'd receive ...

Coffee

I drink 2 big cups of piping hot black coffee 

I make it with 1/4 cup fresh ground Black Rifle Beans (we have a monthly subscription) 

Twice a day in this Moccamaster machine

Lipstick

I do NOT exist without color on my lips.

Naturally mine are very small and pale so I coat them with saturated long lasting lipstick.

Note: I feel the same about nail polish and never ever have naked nails.

Colored Handbags

I have classic neutrals, black, tan & navy but they're not nearly as fun as adding a pop of color.

I want to add this golden bag to my collection!

Planner

I make more lists in a day than ounces of water I'm supposed to drink but never ever do.

I use paper and pen each and every day. I use this planner & can not be converted to technology to keep me organized.

Belts

Belts are my go to for accessorizing. They add texture, shine and shape. 

My most treasured are the unique ones I find in vintage shops.

Panties

Is this TMI?! Oh well if so. I've been wearing these for nearly 15 years.

They are comfortable and flattering. 

I wash them on delicate and line dry them. I never ever put them in the dryer.

Crisp White Shirt

I find a cotton-poplin, bright-white shirts fresh and sharp paired with just about anything.

I have them in abundance and will continue to forever. #moreismore

Iron

I abhor wrinkles and iron just about everything (except sheets - I draw the line)

I've always used Rowena irons (I've been known to travel with mine)

I have started using a steamer for hard to press garments.

Jeans

There's nothing like a pair of jeans that fit just right! Mother is my favorite denim brand. 

J Crew's vintage straight would be my second classic choice.

Jeans are classic and something I wear daily.

Pink

I may have more white tops & dresses than any other gal in the world but pink, pink is my favorite color and I'll wear it as much as I want forever! Literally, it's part of my burial outfit. 

Dress Beautifully with Things You Can't Live Without
