Friday Favorites: Holiday Swaps and Boots

Happy Friday, friends! It is such a lovely Friday here in Texas. After a few days of downpours, we finally have some beautiful fall weather. Here are my Friday favorites this week:

/ / One:
My hubby comes home a week from today! He will only be home a few days until he has to leave for his next interview, but as I mentioned in my confessions, I have been missing him terribly and can’t wait to see him!

/ / Two:
I absolutely love swaps, and I think they are even more fun for Christmas. This year, I am participating in the Redditgifts Secret Santa, the Oak & Oats Great Christmas Exchange, and the CG Swaps Twelve Days of Christmas Swap. I love getting to know new people and sending them gifts.

/ / Three:
Speaking of the holidays, I am super excited for our New Year’s cruise this year! I am going to miss doing New Year’s with my family (Russian New Year’s is its own brand of crazy), but I am looking forward to a fun time with my hubby and my in-laws. If you see me posting lots of summery dresses on this blog in the middle of winter, you’ll know why.

/ / Four:
I am trying to stay away from the Nordstrom 40 percent off clearance sale, but it’s not working. I desperately need new shoes. (Seriously, I have worn out all my favorites to the point that it’s embarrassing.) Here are my favorites from the clearance sale:
/ / Five:
It’s been far too long since I posted a photo of my sweet Sky. Even though she made this week fun, I am so thankful for her, especially when Chris is away.


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Linking up with LaurenAmandaKarli, and Amy.

  2. Yay for getting time with your husband again soon! And for the Nordstrom 40% off sale. I wasn't even aware, but now I think I need to check it out (I'm trying to increase my closet of dresses!). Thanks for joining us for the 12 Days of Christmas Swap! :)
