I’ve decided to start a new thing here on the blog called Friday Favorites where I share some of the things I’m fond of. It’s basically my I’m Lovin’ series, but I’ll just post on Fridays. Expect the ultimate hodge podge of things– today is a good example. I’m hoping to make this a weekly thing, but if I can’t come up with stuff for the week, I’ll skip it.
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
1. Marble MacBook Case
A couple months ago, I bought this marble case for my MacBook because my previous case was old and starting to crack. I’m loving the pink marble case. It’s less than $16, is durable, and looks great.
2. Sandals
I’ve never hidden the fact that I have gigantic feet. And when I find a pair of wide width shoes or sandals that I love, I’m always more than willing to share because I realize the plight of my fellow large footed friends. I bought these sandals last year and loved them, so much so that I bought two pairs in black. They come in sizes 5-12, regular and wide widths, are very comfortable, available in 4 colors (black, cognac, gold, pink), and are less than $16. But don’t delay if you want to snag a pair because they will sell out.
3. Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig
I’ve shared the faux fiddle leaf fig that lives in our living room on Instagram Stories, and I always get questions about it. While it’s not necessarily the most believable fiddle leaf fig, I think it works if you’re looking to add some greenery to your house but you don’t want the responsibility of keeping a plant alive and you don’t want to drop the big bucks on a more believable FLF like this one. The price fluctuates– I’ve seen it as low as $86 and as high as $125. The site also says it ships in 2-5 months, but I received mine within 2 weeks.

4. Wine Cube
While perusing the Target wine aisle recently, I came across a pink moscato Wine Cube. When I saw it holds 4 bottles of wine and it stays fresh for 4 weeks, I figured why not give it a shot. I have to say that it’s pretty good wine from a box. The pink moscato isn’t super sweet, but it’s good enough for me. The Wine Cubes come in a variety of wines— pinot noir, chardonnay, riesling, sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, etc.
5. The Handmaid’s Tale
Brad and I devoured season 1 of The Handmaid’s Tale in less than a week. OMG so good. I watched with my mouth gaped open during a decent amount of episodes. Also, Nick isn’t too bad on the eyes. JS. It’s based on the dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood, which was originally published in 1985. I don’t want to go into detail and ruin anything, so here’s the watered down IMDB description: Set in a dystopian future, a woman is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship. Season 2 comes out on April 25th on Hulu, and I cannot wait.
Unrelated but currently underway– who’s checking out the PB and Lilly Pulitzer collaboration that launched this morning?

I will have to get those sandals in each color. Also I was at IKEA last night and thought of you when I saw a smaller version of a fiddle leaf fig (artificial). That may be purchased during my next trip.
Thanks for sharing!

I got them in all four colors. Not ashamed. I’m bummed they don’t have the FLF at our IKEA. I’ve been wanting to check it out in person.

I’ve got that fiddle leaf in my Amazon cart just waiting!! And we LOVED The Handmaids Tale. Can’t wait for Season 2!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Keep an eye on the price! No use spending $120 when you can score it for $40 cheaper.

As a fellow wide-footed lady, I’d love to hear about more of your favorite wide sandals! I struggle so much in the cute shoe department because my foot is too wide! I bought these sandals and they fit!

Next weekend there would be a small get together at my home. I was in search of a different taste of wine. I’ve never tried it. Not bad to try once. Thanks, Chelsea for such a lovely post.
