Listen. Eat. Wear. Read. See. Repeat.

Happppppp-y mother loving Friday, people. Are you as ready for a two day respite from work as much as I am? Good, good. Without further ado, here are a few things I’m feelin’. xoxo!

Listen

The ‘Big Little Lies’ soundtrack: The most perfect soundtrack to the most perfect TV mini-series just dropped. If you weren’t able to watch this murder drama that just ended on HBO, do yourself a favor and take today off (or if you’re at work, just walk out right now), hunker down in your bed, get online and immediately devour this series. I’m serious. And not only was this addictive drama the best thing I’ve seen this year so far on TV, but the soundtrack was ON POINT and masterfully laid into every episode, becoming a character itself.

Eat

These red wine braised short ribs were made by a friend last week and holy fall of the bones, Batman. They were so tender and mouth wateringly good, and according to my friend, pretty easy! Spring’s here but from what I’ve heard it’s still cold in most of the country, so you just go on ahead and make this comfort dish:

Wear

This Black Long Sleeve Zipper Jacket – $45, as originally seen on Ali Fedotowsky (so cute!) was my answer to finding a cute jacket that wouldn’t break the bank but could go over a dress or jeans. *Note: Get one size up, or else you’ll feel like Fat Guy In A Little Coat.

Shein Black Jacket Read

“The River At Night” by Erica Ferencik – What do you get when you combine Meryl Streep’s great movie “A River Wild” with a story about four best friends on a whitewater rafting trip in Maine, who become lost in the wilderness? A great, scary book.

“Rock and a Hard Place” on HBO – Inspired by The Rock’s own experiences with the law as a youth, this heartwarming HBO documentary follows incarcerated young people who are granted a second chance through a one-of-a-kind boot camp program in Miami and the opportunity to trade an extensive prison sentence for a fresh start. I didn’t know what to expect and was really pleasantly surprised. Get some tissues and watch this… trust me.

Have a lovely weekend!

Chili Pot Pie With Cornbread Crust

Move over, pumpkin spiced lattes and burgundy color nails: These chili pot pies with cornbread crust s-c-r-e-a-m Fall. I have a feeling that if you spoon this in your mouth temporarily, just temporarily, all will seem right in the world.

Messy Hair, Don’t Care. How fuh-reakin’ cute is this? A friend sent it to me for my hair. Don’t mind if I do.

The Nix by Nathan Hill

Meryl Streep and JJ Abrams just signed on to do the movie adaptation of this book, which people are touting as one of the best books in a long time. Like, from page 1-kind of good. Read about it here.

Amanda Knox:  A Documentary

If you thought you had a shred of knowledge of what happened in the Amanda Knox murder case, think again. I myself got sucked into the media frenzy eight years ago and believed she’d been wrapped up in a wild sex party that went awry, that she’d murdered her roommate. And that’s because, as you’ll see in this documentary, the media created a great, juicy story they knew would bring in eyeballs and keep the world transfixed. But all was not as was presented, ohhhhh no – and this documentary lays it bare beautifully, with Amanda Knox describing everything she went through. So compelling.

Have a rad weekend everyone!
