It’s Friday! I cannot wait to veg out tonight and then spend Saturday with my friend Paula for her birthday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Have you entered my giveaway yet for a Lux Divine handmade turquoise cuff? The giveaway runs through Tuesday so don’t miss out. I’m totally obsessed with mine and I think you need one too! Here are a few things that brought me happiness this week in pictures:

{These two. My favorite boys absolutely adore each other and share adorable moments like this all the time.}

{After seeing this dress featured on Poor Little It Girl, I just had to have it. Luckily Gap was giving 30% off all full-priced items that day. Score!}

{I found this mirror buried in the back of a closet this week and decided it would make the perfect glamorous necklace holder for our master bath. I got this at TJ Maxx a few years ago for $20.}

{A large group of us went to the Gavin Degraw and Colbie Caillat concert at the zoo this week. Between awesome company, delicious food and fantastic music it was a really great night.}

{Found this picture of my Pi Phi sorority sisters and me on our 2006 Vegas trip. Our feet were blistered and literally bleeding (I seriously still have a scar on my foot from the deepest blister!) from a long night of dancing the night away in cheap heels so we made a foot bath and ended up playing around in here for quite a while. Such a wonderful trip, Love you girls!}

What brought you happiness this week?

Happy Friday! I’m been having a nice few days off, lounging at home, seeing friends and enjoying some much needed rain and gloomy weather! I recently finished 50 Shades of Grey and was so massively dissapointed by the horrendous writing, lack of plot and the constant use of the phrases Jeez and Oh my that I can’t couldn’t bring myself to buy the last two in the trilogy. Instead, I whipped through Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn this week, one of my favorite authors. I suggest all three of her books if you like thriller and crime novels. Her writing is outstanding. I’m now onto Savages by Don Winslow, so I can read the book before I see the movie (can’t wait!).

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Here are a few things that made my week wonderful. All photos are from Instagram (username: GourmetBeauty).

{The great memories of my 10-year high school reunion from last weekend. So nice to be reunited with my high school group of best friends}

{Essie nail polish in Too Too Hot, the perfect coral red for the 4th of July}

{Lazy mornings in bed}

{A pretty statement necklace from Francesca’s that brightens up any simple summer sweater}

{Jon and I spent the 4th with some great friends. This is Paula and me enjoying the rainstorm, the fireworks and some beer. A similar striped dress can be found here}

{My tequila soaked watermelon was a HIT at the 4th of July party. Simple and delicious recipe coming next week on the blog}

What are a few things making you happy this week?
