Another week has some & gone - can you believe the pace of this year?! Flying friends, it's just flying! It's hard to believe we're now staring Thanksgiving and Christmas in the face! But, it is my absolute favorite time of the year (I love the holidays!!) so I'm trying to remind myself to soak it all in and really enjoy this season. Any tips for making the most of it?

It's been forever since I rounded up my favorites from the week, so I'm pumped to be sharing some new ones today- enjoy!

Well y'all, we've made it to Friday & I haven't blown away yet in #HurricaneMatthew so I'm going to take that as a win. I'm saying big prayers for my family who is still on the east coast of FL & my sister up in Gainesville as well as my friends across the state. This storm is no joke and I hope that we can weather it together. Also please pray for Haiti, the Bahamas, and Cuba who are already starting the process to rebuild. 

Thank you also for those of you who've reach out about Buddy's surgery or promised to say some prayers for him! Due to the storm I had to move his operation to Monday so we didn't get stranded in Sarasota (they close the bridge I have to drive over in high winds)- because stranded with a doped-up dog is no good! ha. So now Friday is actually my Friday... and off to the office I go!

On a lighter note, I've got five things I can't stop obsessing over rounded up for you! Read on to see what they are & share some of your own! :)

Ummm, y'all how are we already 3/4 of the way through June?!?! I don't know about you but this year is FLYING by and I can't hold on tight enough! I always think I'm going to get so much more accomplished in 6 months, and then I look back and see how many New Year's Resolutions I have yet to make a dent in (*cough* read a book a month *cough*). Anyone else feel me?? Luckily we have a weekend coming up (although per usual I will be everywhere but home) and I'm looking forward to some fun! This girl is in need of popping, fizzing, and clinking!

This was a hard, hard week y'all. Most of you know that Orlando is my hometown, and my family and best friends are still there, so news of the massacre this past weekend was heartbreaking for so many reasons. The thought that it happened minutes from the people I love the most? Truly terrifying, and while I am so thankful my loved ones were not harmed, I ache for those families and friends who cannot say the same of the 49 victims. So much pain.

You have no idea how much your kind words, prayers, thoughts & love mean to me and the thousands who love Orlando, live there, or know those who do. It's been amazing to see hope in the midst of this tragedy and a reminder that God is, and always will be, good.

I'm definitely ready for some fun and good cheer this weekend, and I'm excited that Buddy and I are headed to Gainesville to help my sister at Preview (orientation for starting University of Florida in the fall) as well as celebrating Father's Day! Some family time is going to be good for the heart :)

How is it that short weeks sometime feel the longest?! It may have been the flying home on a red-eye into a Tropical Storm that had something to do with it! And then the slight flooding in my apartment due to all the rain for 24 hours straight... UGH. Sometimes adulating is hard y'all!

So when real life is hard, then sometimes one just has to look at pretty things and enjoy a whole bunch of fab finds & sweet obsessions... right?! :) So let's get to it!

Another week spent dreaming of the weekend- so glad that it is finally here! After traveling for over a week my apartment/life were kind of a hot mess so I spent this week getting it all in order again. Although cleaning is never my favorite task, it is so nice to have my life in order and my home reflecting that. Ahhh... now it's time to have some fun!

My family is coming to St Pete to visit me this weekend and I can't wait to see them! We're celebrating (belatedly) my dad's birthday and mother's day and I've planned out our whole itinerary to show them the city I've grown to adore! It's going to be fun!

Now here is what (few) things made it on my radar this week...

Happy Friday y'all! Was it just me or did this week drag on... and on... and on? The good news is that we made it to Friday and now the weekend fun can begin!!

It's a pretty big weekend here:
1. Saturday is my last day as president of Junior League. It's an extremely bittersweet feeling; while I have adored every moment of the journey (and learned more than I ever believed) I am also excited to have free time back in my schedule and focus on "me". It's going to be the weirdest feeling come Sunday!
2. Monday I'm headed to New York for work for three days so I've got to get packed and ready!
3. When I get back from NY I turn around and head to Key West for a girl's weekend- some major packing is in order!!

So while I will be prepping for all my travel, here's a peek at all the goodies I'm obsessing over this week :)

Yay yay yay Friday!! I'm so ready for the weekend! Tonight is the Junior League's performance of The Follies- and our final fundraiser of the year!! It's hard to believe that the year is wrapping up so quickly but I'm trying to soak in every minute of it :)

I'm also so excited that I will get to see some of my gal pals for brunch Saturday- we're finally meeting baby Rhett and I can't wait for allllllllllll the baby snuggles! #TheSweetest

Time to wrap up the week with a few of my favorite obsessions... come join the fun! (Warning I'm having a major blue moment this week) #WhenAmINot #BlueIsMyBlack

Oh happy day y'all- it's Friday!! Although this week zipped on by, it's been an extremely busy one with nightly meetings and far too many commitments! BUT, next week our Junior League is putting on a super fun show/fundraiser called "The Follies" so all my meetings have been fun because they are rehearsals for this great show!

This weekend will not have a lot of rest either though... I have a kickoff party for Mainsail Art Festival tonight, volunteering at the festival tomorrow, and getting in new blog pictures (I'm out!) Whew! Throw a few more dance rehearsals in there and you have one tired (but happy) girl! I thought weekends were for relaxing?! :)

Alright, time to share all my obsessions with you...

Can I get a big 'ol "heck yes" for Friday?? Oh yes! I'm sorry if I've been saying this far too often, but this week was another crazy daisy one. With T-22 days left of the presidency, things seem to be going about 150 miles a minute and I'm just trying desperately to hang on! :) Even this weekend is jam-packed full of activities... so I'm going to load up on coffee and go, go, go!! 

Don't worry, I've still had time to find some pretty fabulous goodies this week & I can't wait to share them with y'all! Let's go...

Happy Fri-YAY y'all!! I couldn't be more excited that the weekend is here! This week has run me pretty ragged- recovering from all my travel was no joke- and with work kicking my booty I need serious relaxation stat! Tonight I'm going to be celebrating "YOLO Friday" and cheers-ing to the freakin' weekend- how about y'all?

So what did I find time to obsess over this week? So glad you asked...

I have been itching to put this post together because I have SO much to share with you!! These last two weeks have been a whirlwind with Christmas and celebrating 2016 (seriously... how is it a new year?!) and I've come across so many good finds that I bookmarked to share with y'all! Today's round-up may have a little more than normal but that's just 'cause I didn't want to withold any goodness from you!

Holy cow y'all- how are we two weeks through December?! I can't believe how fast this year is going, I just want to slow down a little and savor the season. I've been itching to do something festive this week so tomorrow some friends and I are going to a Christmas-themed Bar Crawl and I couldn't be more excited! I haven't "crawled" since college so we'll see if I can still hang with the youngins! ;)

Let's get to what I'm obsessing over this week (some serious fun stuff!)

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but this week flew by and I'm afraid the holiday season is going to do the same, so I'm trying to soak up and savor every minute of the fun! This weekend is going to be packed with volunteering at Snowfest, cheering on my Gators at the SEC Championship, & finally shooting some new looks for the blog! What do you have planned?

Happy happy Friday- oh it is a happy Friday indeed! I'm headed to Gainesville this weekend to cheer on my Gators at Homecoming and I can't wait! It's my first weekend back since I graduated 5 years ago, so cheering on my boys is going to be extra special!

As R. Kelly once said, "It's the freakin' weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun"... but for real y'all I am so ready to have some serious fun this weekend! My girlfriends from work and I have decided to start "YOLO Fridays" and grab drinks at this adorable waterfront bar after work- first one is this week! And then I'm finally going to the Oxford Exchange that I have heard so much about and I can. not. wait!! I'm pretty sure I'm going to be obsessed with it! You know I'll be blowing up Insta with pics ;)

Now on to my weekly obsessions (I'm not going to lie I've picked up some adorable new goodies this week and there are far too many still on my wishlist!)

Happy Fri-YAY y'all! What a whirlwind week it has been! I had an event or meeting every night this week and have missed my workouts this week- I'm definitely feeling the effects of a busy schedule! On Wednesday I got to have some fun with McKenzie from Winsome and Gold, we had a mini blogger meet up and had such a blast getting to know each other and talking shop! It's so nice so chat with someone else who knows the highs and lows of blogging too. 

Without further ado, here is everything I'm currently obsessing over this week!

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling pretty darn colorful this Friday! I couldn't even narrow down my Friday quote to just one- so you get double the fun today! I guess it could have something to do with the fact that I'm currently in New Orleans and having so much fun at Junior League Fall Leadership Conference! I can't wait to share all the pictures and stories with you, but for now you can keep up with my trip on instagram @girlmeetsbow :)

Let's get right to everything I'm obsessing over this week shall we?!
