Friday’s Favorite Things

March 15, 2013 by Melanie 14 Comments

Ribbet Edit

I am going to keep it short today as I share some of my favorite things at the moment. I plan on doing this once a month or so because cyber shopping/browsing is FUN!!

Favorite Snack

Kind Bars– these are so yummy. You know how I feel about trying to make as much food as possible from scratch, but guess what? It isn’t always possible! Haha. These bars are full of natural nuts and fruits. I usually grab one on the days where the kids have lots of activities. So satisfying!

Favorite Things

Favorite Shoe

Nike Running Shoes, New Releases– I have to preface this by saying I have a history of wearing Adidas running shoes, but I recently got my first pair of Nike and have been running in them and love them too. I went to Nordstrom’s a few weeks ago and almost passed out when I saw all the beautiful bright new colors. I am in love with this lime green pair.

Favorite Everyday Jean

Old Navy’s Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans– I have 4 pairs of these (some in corduroy) and they are awesome. I love the purple color- perfect for Spring! It’s on my shopping list.

Favorite WorkoutClothes

Nike Running Capri Pants– my mom sent a pair of Nike capri pants and they are amazing- the fabric is just perfect. I went online to see if I could order more and then I found these. Oh. My. Goodness. I have to have them. I just need to know red or silver? Or pink? HELP!

Favorite Kitchen Accessory

Anthropology Owl Cookie Jar– Let me start by saying I don’t use cookie jars, but these are just too darling and if money were no object I’d buy all of them! I was a sorority girl at the University of Texas (go Chi Omega) and our mascot is an owl. I think that is why I will always have a thing for owls.

Favorite Water Bottle

Square Water Bottle from Uncommon Goods– this is a new item and was apparently the result of a 3 year collaboration between a group of former Apple engineers. It unscrews from both ends for the purpose of being able to clean it thoroughly and has a square profile so it won’t roll when dropped (which happens to mine ALL THE TIME). I love the idea of being able to clean it thoroughly especially if you want to use it for juices and smoothies too. It also has a fresh taste lid to prevent the water from getting that metallic taste. I want this!

Favorite Dishware

West Elm’s Potters Workshop Tableware– I need more dishes like I need more wine glasses (and if the lady who packed my kitchen up from Missouri is reading this she would fervently agree). I am in the process of trying to “accidentally” break our old dishes so I can buy new ones. Not kidding.

So I better stop cyber shopping or else I will be in trouble. It can’t hurt to have a wish list, right? Happy Friday friends. Have a great weekend!

Question: what’s on your favorite things list? What color Nike capris should I get? Red, pink or silver?

    A square water bottle! That sounds awesome. I love our standard issue military ones as they don’t roll and feel nicer to hold than round ones, but they also have a slightly weird after taste.
    PINK capris is my vote, as they’ll enhance any tan
    Happy FRIDAY x x

    Oh my gosh, I love the dishes! Too bad I can’t afford to break all of mine right now.
    As for the Nike pants: PINK! (That would be my color choice for ANYTHING.)

      Got the red! I was leaning towards them but then when I went back the pink was sold out anyway so it made my decision a little easier! 😉 Aren’t the owls so cute? I just wish they weren’t so expensive!

    I JUST bought those Nikes today as well as new running pants and there’s not a week that goes by that I don’t devour a few Kind bars. Great minds must think alike. Except for the fact that you will probably use your Nikes to run and I will only dream of running 😉

      Haha, I can’t believe you just bought them. They are beautiful! And running shoes, especially the ones they are making these days, look adorable with regular casual clothes too! Not just for running of course! 😉
