Friday Favorites

Cheers to 2019!  I'm honestly not sure where 2018 went, but wherever it did go, it went fast.  With the new year, I'm starting a new series fresh called "Friday Favorites".  I'll post about 5 things I've discovered over the week that I'd consider my favorite.  I hope you enjoy and continue to follow along!  Happy first Friday Favorites!

1. Trader Joe's Hot & Sweet Pepper Jelly

My boyfriend and I were team stay-in for New Year's Eve this year so picked up apps and champagne from Trader Joe's.  We grabbed a jar of this pepper jelly, a triangle of brie cheese, some crackers and had a delicious and simple app to enjoy.  This also served as an amazing condiment for the coconut shrimp!  Then I came across this Griddled Pepper and Cream Cheese recipe that I fully intend on making very soon.

2.  Monique Lhuillier Lara Floral Wine Bucket

Pottery Barn released their spring line today in collaboration with fashion designer Monique Lhuillier.  This romantic "bridal-inspired" line features this gorgeous floral wine bucket that would make a stunning addition to a bar cart (married or not).

3.  Miaou Junior Jeans from Shopbop

New year, new jeans, right!?  These leopard print jeans from shopbop are not only on sale right now, but will also put a fierce pep in your step to attack whatever 2019 might throw at you.
