Friday Favorites: All Things Pumpkin and Plaid

Whew! We made it to Friday! Honestly, it's been a little bit of a heavy week for us, but I'm keeping it lighthearted for today and linking up with Andrea, Narci, and Erika for Friday Favorites.

1. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Via

You all know how I've professed my love for the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. Well, last year in the drive thru, the barista offered me some of their PSL Via coffee - it's instant, you just add water. I was skeptical because I normally HATE instant coffee. But it tasted so good! It wasn't exactly like a latte right from Starbucks, but it was pretty darn close! I bought some and made myself a cup with homemade whipped cream on top...mmmmmm. Now that we live so much further away from Starbucks, it isn't really convenient for me to get a drink regularly (probably a good thing). So this will be my substitute!

2. 25 Jonathan Taylor Thomas Posters You Definitely Had In Your Room

What tweenage girl in the 90s didn't have a crush on JTT? He was our Justin Bieber...only not as stupid ;) My mom wouldn't actually let me have posters of boys in my room, which was, like, so unfair (totally get it now Mom, bt-dub) but I do remember smuggling in a poster of him by way of a magazine i bought at the Scholastic Book Fair once when I was in 8th grade. I was such a rebel ;) A friend posted this link on Facebook and it totally cracked me up.

3. The Best Twitter Reactions to Gilmore Girls Coming to Netflix

Another friend posted this on Facebook last night. So funny. Love it! Who wants to come have a marathon Gilmore Girls watching session with me? :)

4. Fall Candles

We are in full throttle fall mode here. The weather is super chilly so we've busted out the jeans and long sleeved shirts and boots. And I'm hoping to bring out some fall decor later today. Last night I went to a friend's candle party and ordered a new fall candle from Gold Canyon: Pumpkin Berry Spice Cookie

I just love their candles!! Can't wait to get this and start burning it!

5. Pumpkin Spice Cheese Ball

Speaking of Pumpkin Spice, we had a team meeting for Tastefully Simple on Monday night and got to taste a bunch of recipes from the new fall/winter catalog. This was so yummy!! Serve it with some Twisty Grahams and BAM! You've got an instant dessert for a fall get together. I wish I had some right now to go with my Pumpkin Spice Latte. On second thought, that might be a pumpkin overload. Can you have such a thing?!?

6. All Things Plaid

I'm no fashionista but I'm noticing a major trend towards plaid this fall. Here are a few of my favorites:

This plaid scarf is so cozy and would instantly turn a plain shirt or sweater and jeans into an outfit!

I also love this plaid shirt. 

It would look so cute with this boyfriend cardigan in navy or red.

Or this puffer vest.

That's all for today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
