Happy happy Friday, friends! I’m definitely feeling very TGIF over here, and I’m excited for a fun and hopefully relaxing weekend ahead!

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet, mostly because I stayed up too late last night watching Netflix and drinking wine {you know how that goes, right?!}. So instead of my usual Friday ramblings, I’m sharing a few of my current faves – from what I’m listening to, watching, dreaming of and hoping for in the next few weeks. Here’s what I’ve been up to these days…

Wishing I could: Have more free time to explore photography. I know it’s weird to say, but sometimes I just want to take a vacation so I can spend a few days practicing taking photos and playing around with pre-sets in Lightroom. I love being able to study photography in my free time, so hopefully I’ll have an upcoming vacation to spend more time playing, and less time working 😉 Enjoying: Feeling a little caught up on life these days, which is an unexpected feeling! I usually feel like I’m 10 steps behind with work and this little blog, but somehow I was able to play catch up earlier this month! I’m enjoying having more time to be proactively creative, rather than feeling like I’m in a constant game of catch up! Let’s just hope the feeling lasts…

Investing in: Or I guess I should say, not investing in these Gucci shoes I so desperately want. I’ve been eyeing them up for months, but I’m resisting the silly urge to spend $600 on a pair of slip on shoes. Let’s hope the $22 dupes from Target are just as amazing as the real deal!

Dreaming of: Morocco, because it’s my travel destination of choice for 2017! I’ve been dreaming of a magical Moroccan vacation, and I’m planning for an adventure there later this fall. From spice markets, to bright-colored buildings, to exploring the beautiful streets of Marrakesh, I’m spending my free time pinning beautiful destinations and planning a big adventure in the coming months. Listening to: My sweet friend Elizabeth’s new podcast, Healers! I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth and her blog Beauty Bets for years, and I’m so excited that she’s taking the plunge to start her own podcast about healing and those who help us along the way. Her first season is available now, so make sure to give it a listen! I listened to the whole season in less than a few days, it’s just that good!

Watching: Parenthood – and I don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed about it. I don’t know what it is about that show, but it’s completely addicting, and every time Tom is out of town I catch myself watching episode after episode and crying alone on my couch {no shame!}. Can the Braverman family adopt me though? Pretty please?!  Missing: This sunshine! After spending a few days in Florida earlier this month, all I want to do is take another few days to enjoy the beach and soak up the sun. It’s amazing how the winter can get you down, and all I want is a few days of sunshine to feel a little more energized and optimistic.

Feeling: Extra thankful for a having so many good things to look forward to in the coming months. From weddings in Kansas City to L.A., I’m excited that I have some fun adventures on the horizon to celebrate so many people I love. Plus, it’s sunny in L.A., which should hopefully help me with the above!

Stalking: Celebrity relationships, because I’ll always be a tween at heart. Why is it that every time there’s a trending celebrity topic on Facebook I have to click on it? Why am I so obsessed and annoyed by The Weekend and Selena Gomez’s relationship? Why am I team Bella on that? It’s so irrational, but I can’t stop clicking…

In other news, I hope you all are looking forward to a fun and relaxing weekend ahead! Have anything fun you’re looking forward to? Please share with the class – I’d love to live vicariously through you! xx
