It's FRIDAY, and you know what that means!
I'm linking up today with my friends Andrea, Erika and Narci for Friday Favorites!
FAVORITE #1: YOU GUYS
So I want you to know, I think the world of y'all.
You are so sweet, encouraging, and just plain nice.
And I like nice. ;)
Please know that I am so very thankful for every comment that is left on this blog.
I read and appreciate every single one of them.
So, that's it.
I think y'all rock.

FAVORITE #2: My Chalkboard
This chalkboard that I bought on a whim at HomeGoods is definitely one of my favorite items in the house. I started buying things for the new house a couple months out from us moving in, and I was having a blast doing it! But after I had brought 5 or 6 things home, Chris tried to boss me.
He told me to not buy anything else for the new house until we were in the new house since it didn't make sense for us to have to pack up the stuff and move it.
And I totally agreed.
In theory.
And then I saw this chalkboard.
And I bought it. Immediately.
;)
As you can see, I couldn't wait to do get it ready for Easter!
One of the best decisions I've ever made.
Truly.
;)

FAVORITE #3: Boden
I've talked about my love of Boden before, and it's happening again today!
Nordstrom asked me if I wanted to talk about Spring clothes for kiddos, and I thought it would be fun! And since the best way to talk about clothes is to get them, take pictures, and do a review....I took one for the team and placed an order for Carter. :) I actually placed a rather large order with no plans of keeping it all. But I kept it all.
#oops
Why do I love Boden so much for Carter?
That's easy.
Because Carter loves Boden.
And dressing him in things he loves is just easier.
Amen mamas?
If you know Carter, you know his only real wish for his clothes is for them to be "cozy".
Yep.
My boy is BIG on BEING COZY.
And Boden clothes are "the coziest ever". And that's a direct quote from the cozy expert himself.
(fyi: When Carter says "cozy" he doesn't mean warm, he means comfy!)
He adores all of their pants so much because most of them have elastic waistbands,
and he prefers that to a zipper and button every day of the week.
And the tees are all very soft and super cozy themselves.
It's a HUGE bonus for him that they have cool pics and graphics on them. But even if they were plain, he would love them because of the cozy factor. ;)
So here are the first 3 items I got him (the jeans are Boden, but from last year and no longer in stock).
motorcycle tee HERE / hoodie HERE (tied around waist)/
shoes HERE
I mean, how cute is the motorcycle tee!?!
And of course he's wearing his favorite red Natives.
I say "of course", because I think he's worn them 95% of school days since school started back in August. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. Just ask his teacher.
Good thing I love them too! I totally dig the pop of color that the red adds to his outfits!
He of course likes them because they are easy to get off and on and he doesn't
have to bother tying them.
And here's the hoodie on him!
It's a great royal blue with striped accents and trimmed in a Kelly green.
Isn't this a great little hoodie?
It comes in toddler, little boy, and big boy sizes.
Click HERE for the hoodie.
It's $34, which I actually feel like is a great price for a soft and comfy hoodie that I know he'll reach for a lot! Why? Because say it with me now....it's COZY.
And surprise, the hoodie is reversible!
Which obviously makes it an even better value!
And how cute are the stripes?!?
I'm not sure if you can tell, but my subject was having fun.
This kid is a nut!
And I have no idea where on earth he gets it.
;)
Click HERE for the hoodie.
So this next collage has the same 4 pieces that you just saw above in every picture:
1) motorcycle tee 2) reversible striped hoodie 3) jeans and 4) shoes
But you can see how many different looks you can get with the same 4 pieces!
Click on the pics you are interested in below to shop the outfit from above.
Carter doesn't own the jeans in the widget, but they have an elastic waistband,
so I know he'd love them!

And let's take just a second to talk about the shoes since they are freaking awesome.
I'm telling you, if you buy one pair, I promise you they won't be your last.
#they'rethelayspotatochipoftheshoeworld
Click HERE for boy's Natives (lots of colors available).
Click HERE for girl's Natives.
Use a magic eraser on scuff marks and they come right off!
He's had these shoes over a year, and I haven't used my magic eraser trick in a couple of months, but it works like a charm.
THESE. SHOES. ROCK.
(I have a Kid's Shoe post coming up in a couple of weeks. And I kinda feel like posting this one pair of shoes and just calling it a day.) :)
What does Carter think about all of his new clothes?
He's a fan.
He gives them two thumbs up.
And like I mentioned before..I ordered a ton of clothes...with the plan of deciding which ones we would keep after he tried them all on.
Well, we kept these next items too.
BECAUSE OH MY AT THE COZY FACTOR.
And Carter couldn't stop talking about how awesome the dino shirt was.
striped shorts HERE / dinosaur shirt HERE / red and grey hoodie HERE/
navy shoes HERE
Let's just go ahead and call him Captain Cozy!
;)
striped shorts HERE / dinosaur shirt HERE / red and grey hoodie HERE/
navy shoes HERE
shorts in both pics HERE / reversible hoodie HERE / shoes HERE
And one more of his little face.
I mean, I know I'm biased...but come on. :)
Captain Cozy is precious.
Now, if you have a little girl, you definitely need to check out Boden for girls too!
Because if you think their boy stuff is cute, you will die over their girl stuff.
DARLING barely even scratches the surface.
Click HERE to check out the girl's line!
Or maybe your boy isn't really into Boden, but he still likes to be comfy. Maybe Under Armour and Nike are more his speed. Click your favs!

FAVORITE #4: My New Earring Jackets
I ordered THESE earrings.
I wish I could get a better picture of the earrings, but click HERE to see what they look like up close.
These types of ear jackets are ALL THE RAGE right now.
At first I wasn't so sure about them, but I've seen them enough now that I wanted to give them a try myself!
I'm so glad I gave them a try!
They are a bit out of my comfort zone, but I think they are great fun!

FAVORITE #6: My New Eyeliner
So a couple of Friday's ago (see the full post HERE) I talked about some Lancome products and did a review. I had found several products that I liked and wanted to share with y'all (and I still am really enjoying all of them)...but I'm now officially IN LOVE with THIS eyeliner.
It goes on so smoothly, it stays all day,
and I like that it leaves a smudgy line and not a really precise line.
And remember, they have a GIFT WITH PURCHASE going on right now. Click HERE and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what the different packages have to offer (both pictures and text describing what is included)! Lots of great products!

FAVORITE #7: My New Madewell Tee
On Monday I did a post (click HERE) highlighting the fact that Nordstrom is now carrying Madewell and I reported that I was a huge fan of their tees. Well, now I'm their biggest fan.
I wore both of them again this week.
I wore the orange one yesterday (see the picture below), and I wore the black one on Wednesday (you'll see that outfit on Monday).
THEY ARE GREAT TEES! Click HERE.
For size reference, I'm wearing a small.
The tee is slouchy, but not sloppy.
And a lot of you inquired about the deep v neck (because it looks so low on the model).
I have not had a problem with it! I think they are a great fit!
(All Kut From the Kloth denim jackets HERE. Pants, boots, and necklace are all sold out. :(
Oh...I'm wearing my $10 earrings found HERE!)
