Friday Favorites

So I have been crazy busy all week trying to stay on top of my work for my online class. A whole semester in six weeks is not easy, even if you're only taking one class. I've been teaching myself entire chapters in three days, writing a paper, and participating in class discussions. Crazy. After those three days are over, the next chapter starts. You could say I'm a little overwhelmed.

So here are five, fun, non school related things that I'm loving this week:

1. Orange is the New Black 

I know, I know I'm way behind on this, but after running out of shows to watch on Netflix I thought I'd give it a try. Well, within a week of starting it I was all caught up and ready for season two when it came on Netflix last week! What a world that we live in that the entire second season comes out in just one day... In true Netflix tradition it's all ready for binge-watching, so who's already finished the second season?

2. The Night Circus

I'm only halfway through this magical story, but I'll be sure to post a review when I'm finished. After spending over a week on the first 100 pages alone (super slow moving), it has become quite the page turner since then. I definitely recommend picking up a copy if you'd like to escape into a world filled with magic rather than vampires and zombies.

3. Gladiator Sandals 

I have no idea what it is about these shoes that I love so much, but I am dying to get a pair! I have quite a few dresses in my closet that would definitely look good with a pair in brown or black. Obviously, these aren't everyday shoes so I definitely need to carefully plan out when I wear those outfits. I really love this pair:

What do you think about this trend?

4. Free People Dresses

I have so much love in my heart for the carefree, bohemian style of Free People. Seriously, if I could shop at only one store for the rest of this stage of my life this would definitely be it. Here are a few of my favorites below:

Semi-sheer constructed with two layers of soft cotton a low back and a raw hem. Adjustable straps. FP One is an exclusive collection made with love from India. Defined by bold embellishments and natural-feeling fabrics the collection brings a modern twist to old world techniques.
