Summer Fridays, Vol 13.
Welcome to summer fridays! We’re nearing the finish line and I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. Here’s what’s up today!
MAKING
I’ve still got lots of peaches and number one on my list is this ginger peach galette with a toasted almond crust. It’s always such a hit!
SIPPING
I’ve spied some honeycrisps! This makes me SO ridiculously excited because they are my favorite apple. They just taste like… the best apple. You know? Anyhoo, I’m thinking maple honeycrisp margaritas have to make an appearance and of course, so does apple cider sangria. I’M READY.
EATING
I’m also sort of ready for warm breakfasts. That will last for approximately 43 seconds, but these oatmeal baked apples are going down in the next week or two. Even the leftovers are fabulous. And this oatmeal latte. I have a new version coming for you too! Oh oh oh and while you’re at it this weekend, make a big batch of this baked oatmeal because it’s basically cake. Oatmeal cake.
READING
Okay. So in true form, I finished All Your Perfects in ONE night. Guys, last Friday night I stayed up until 3AM reading it. Colleen Hoover is such an incredible writer. She just sucks me in! This week, I actually started another YA novel which is really unlike me. But I wanted to read To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before because I want to watch it on Netflix. Have you read it/watched it?
WEARING
Two things I’ve very into right now: this utility jacket that I bought at the anniversary sale. It’s been SO rainy here (like, so so so rainy) and it’s great to throw on to run errands or just have for inside when it’s cold with the AC on. And these are some of my favorite free people tops! I live in them.
BUYING
So apparently a little Sephora sale started today for VIB rouge members! I haven’t been buying that much at Sephora this year because their points system is garbage. I can buy almost everything at Nordstrom and then I get a Nordstrom note, so yes please I want money and not points. However! I can only get drunk elephant at Sephora, so I’m grabbing a few things today for the 20% off. And if you want to shop that sale, I have all of my favorites for Sephora right HERE. Weeeee!
LOVING
These bronze mosaic pumpkins. I saw them in the store and wanted one on the spot! Guys. I don’t care. I’m into it. I want to decorate for Fall. I might do it next weekend. Last year I did it on Labor Day weekend but I basically gave myself a pass since I was pregnant. No, I’m not going to eat or bake pumpkin junk or anything like that. I’m still going to swim and drink rosé until mid-September, at least. But I want some cozy feels in my house!
LISTENING
I always love a good dinnertime playlist mix. It reminds me of Saturday nights when my parents were getting ready to go out or even just weeknight dinners at our house. I could listen to this one on repeat!
Definitely finishing this weekend off with a classic. xoxo

Worth mentioning that Sephora is doing something to their points system going forward. Not exactly sure what except something about exchanging points for full sized products and rouge getting 1.5 points for every dollar. I’m going to ask when I head to Sephora today!
i did see this!! i hope it’s worth it. i mean, i wonder if it can be as good as getting a nordstrom note?!
honestly summer is not OVER until like the end of september!
agree!
I have loved your Summer Friday series! Please continue with Fall Fridays!, 😊
thanks sara!
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is a cute, quick read and the Netflix move is adorable! Loved it!! There are two more books after the first if you liked the first.

I have MANY (too many!) pumpkin decorations and I cannot wait to put them out!

Love the Summer Friday series! It never feels like fall here in SoCal but I’m in the midst of crocheting the most adorable rustic pumpkins for my sister and my neighbor! I love them so much I’m making a set for me….
I love love love your apple sangria! I made it last year for the first week of football and it was such a hit!
Agreed re: Sephora. I used to be such a big fan and shop with them exclusively, but I think more beauty-lovers are getting annoyed with their loyalty program.
I’m a sucker for a good YA romance novel and Jenny Han pulls it off so well with the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series. It’s one of my favorite YA novels and I’ve read the trilogy twice already (it’s one of those books that makes me feel happy, so I read it when I’m feeling a little down). I didn’t think that the movie was as good as the book, but it was still a cute movie. The one thing that surprised me when watching the movie is that the shots of the town that she lives in is Portland, OR (where I live), but the book doesn’t take place there :).
I put a hold on the book All Your Perfects because it sounds really good and has gotten many good reviews, so thanks for mentioning that book!
I’ve loved these posts. Mostly I appreciate your taste in great music and this dinnertime playlist is so great!!! I don’t know how you do everything you do. Thanks for being awesome! Oh, I think you would like Mary Alice Monroe’s writing! Extremely descriptive and passionate of the SC low country. I’m on the 3rd book in the Beach House series!
I am finally going back to northern MI this fall and I can’t wait! We usually go once a year but I had a tough pregnancy and then her first year FLEW! OMG! I just had to have emergency brain surgery (which sucks so much but trying to not dwell on it) and when I’m healed in Oct. I have Traverse City to look forward to. I can’t wait!
so can you get nordstrom notes only if you have their credit card ???
my other problem with nordstrom is fulfillment issues. i regularly have problems with orders including 2 gifts i recently purchased. sent wrong items, didnt send in one package, didnt include gift note so the person had no idea who it was from, etc. i also had for the past 2 sales several items i ordered get canceled. only to see them instock on the website 5 mins after my cancel . recent return they missed a $100 item. blah blah blah. the service as i have experienced from nordstroms is awful.
I really like your blogs, thank you for sharing it
