Behind My Heels

I'm starting something new. Every Friday I'll be listing a few of my favorites. Whether it be fashion, things that happened this past week, food, books etc.

This weeks Friday Favs are:

1. My kids. Of course they're always my fav, but this week they've really brighten it up. My son is now a 2nd grader and is officially growing up on me. We've finally decided to let him ride his bike to school all by himself. I have mixed feeling on this. Part of me loves that he's becoming independent, but the other part of me is terrified! My daughter is also growing on me way too fast. She's a couple weeks shy of turning 4. Seriously it feels like I just had her. We've been busy doing some simple pre-k work at home so she'll be ready to go for Kindergarten next year. The line "they grow up so fast" is oh so true.

2- My current read. I'll freely admit, I'm a bookworm. I love everything from vampires, to romance, to murder mystery and smut! I just like being able to escape the world and let my mind go somewhere else for awhile. This week I've been reading a new series called "West Bend Saints" by Sabrina Paige. I'm finishing up book two and for the most part I'm loving it. I have several more new releases coming out soon that I can't wait to read.

3- Whispering Prayer Bracelets. I'm obsessed with these. I mentioned them earlier in a post (here) and I just can't rave about them enough. I bought mine from two of my favorite local boutiques; Merchant 31 and Bloom.

4- This ring. Have you ever had that one piece of jewelry that you just want to wear everyday? Well this is my piece. A friend of mine sells Chloe & Isabel, well they were having a sale and I spotted this amazing snake ring. I knew right away I needed it! And I couldn't be more happier, it goes with literally everything I wear, dressed up or down. It just adds that right amount of edginess that I love.
Do you love it just as much as I do?! Well it's still available so you can buy yours right here!

Have a Happy Friday and a fun filled weekend! See y'all back here next week!

About 75% of my closet is black or a dark color palette. I don't care if it's summer or winter, black will never go out of style for me. It's a basic and a classic. And I love mixing black and browns together.

About a month ago I discovered these amazing bracelets from "Whispering Prayers". I love arm candy and these bracelets are just made for stacking. Depending on what other bracelets you pair them with or the outfit it can either dress it up or give it more of an edge. Today I opted for the edgier look.

I love this top, when I first saw them I wasn't a fan. It just looked too vintage, but once I tried it on I instantly fell in love. And lucky for me I scored the last one in my size at one of my favorite boutiques! I paired them with my favorite lace shorts, since the humidity here it just too much for me. Once the weather turns I'll be pairing this with my distressed boyfriend skinnies.

And you can never go wrong with leopard. It's a neutral that, in my opinion, will never go out of style. Adding the black heels gives the outfit a more dressier look while the shorts and bracelets tone it down with an edgier feel.
