This weeks Friday Finds are a mix of classic staple items for your closet, make up bag and home. Pieces that can carry you from now into the warmer spring season. I personally love the Ilia sunscreen powder for this time of year as I'm not in the sun as much but want to keep my skin protected for days the sun is actually out. Quick and easy to throw on over your makeup! That white vase from the new Studio McGee for Target line is so pretty in person. I recently picked it up at Target and can't wait to fill it with flowers. It's only $25 but looks way more expensive! I spotted this sweater at Evereve the other day and it's such a great closet staple that could be worn for cooler nights in the Spring/Summer! The prettiest off the shoulder top paired with these new Mother jeans would be the perfect date night outfit. 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks Friday Finds and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

This week on Instagram I have been sharing my Favorite Things and Giveaway to win these favorite things. You can see some of my favorite things I shared below. We have 3 more days to go with something exciting on the last day! 

If you have never been to a Favorite Things Party, I’ll give you a little rundown of how they work. They’re so fun! It’s such a great way to share your favorite things, but also learn about other peoples’ favorite things! 

Here’s how I host my Favorite Things Party:

Everybody brings 3 of the same gift. We do a price range of $20 but you could select whatever amount you think your guests would be comfortable with. When everyone arrives, they put their name on a piece of paper in a bowl, 3 times (for the 3 gifts you’re giving) and choose a number (this will be the order everyone will present their favorite thing) 

When your number is called, you share what you brought and explain why it’s one your favorite thing. Then you draw 3 names to gift your favorite things to! So easy, and everybody goes home with 3 new favorite things! This party also inspires we ruined with new gift ideas to give that holiday season. We’ve had everything from Poo-Pouri to the candle that is what they burn at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. you could even do a funny or dirty favorite thing to mix it up. 

Here are some of my Favorite Things I have shared so far this week. These items are above the normal $20 I would spend at my party but I wanted a way to give back as a Thank you for following along with me and I honestly love all of these things I shared. These would also make great Gifts! 

DAY ONE 

The Polished Jar dispensers, tray and bamboo brush. These dispensers are my favorite because they not only look beautiful in your kitchen or bath but they have so many customizable options available to neatly organize you’re whole home or business. These make a great gift set with the tray and bamboo brush. 

DAY TWO 

Cozy Earth Socks. I discovered this brand because of their incredibly soft bamboo bedding. Then I saw they had socks too and I had to have them. They are the softest. I love that they’re not super thick so I can easily wear with my boots and around the house. This giveaway is closed but you can still receive 45% of your order with code THESTYLENEST45 

DAY THREE

This is a little luxury favorite of mine. It’s pricey but smells oh so good! One of my favorite perfumes Santal 33 teamed up with The Laundress to create a laundry scent. 

DAY FOUR 

These are 2 of my favorite makeup items. This is the mascara I have been using for over a year. I’ve never gone back to anything else. I love it because the mascara wraps tubes around your eyelashes giving you extra long lashes and no black smudging or flaming under your eyes! My other favorite beauty item is this Kosas air brow gel. Because of my thyroid disease, the outer edge of my eyebrows have thinned out over the years. I used to have to use a gel and color them in. This allows me to do all of that. Both of these products are also clean which is important to me. You will love both of them! 

DAY FIVE 

One of my favorite local shops to buy home goods and accessories is Abode Shoppe in Newburyport. The owner Gina is a doll to work with and her shop has the best stuff. This basket bowl and these linen napkins are so beautiful in person. If you’re local. Stop by to do some holiday shopping! 

DAY SIX 

DAY SEVEN 

Today’s Giveaway is a good one. I’ve been a huge Beautycounter fan since the company first started. I love what this company is trying to do in the beauty industry. There is very little regulation on beauty products and Beautycounter is very transparent in what is in their ingredients. A majority of skin problems stems from the chemicals that are in our products. I teamed up with my friend to give one lucky winner the lotus Beauty cleansing balm. I use this to wash the makeup off my face every evening with these cleansing clothes. On days that my face is really dry, I will use it as a balm overnight. I also included my favorite make up brush cleaner and cleansing mat. You could just use the itcosmetics make up cleaner on its own but I find that the cleansing mat helps to get them really clean. 

Instructions to enter to win my Favorite Things Giveaways are listed on the posts on my feed. Continue to follow along for the next 3 days to see what other Favorite thing I will be giving away. 

Good luck to everyone!

We recently refreshed a favorite MidCentury bedroom project of ours. A style popularized in the 1940s and 60s, the Mid-Century Modern design movement was born out of the romantic idea that “good design could change lives.” It was a style that was all about functionality, accessibility, and modern simplicity. It's a look that is great for smaller more modern aesthetic spaces. It's a clean simple style that incorporates different textures paired with more modern unexpected elements. 

We added these modern dome shaped brass table lamps to the side tables for the fun element of the space. It keeps the space looking sleek and creates the perfect amount of light for reading in bed. 

I have this thing for black graphic pillows. They're just really good at making a sharp impression on a space. I wanted to keep the bed nice and simple with white bedding and add a statement pillow. These abstract pillow covers are such a great price for a designer look. 

I love how this little Midcentury Modern Bedroom refresh turned out and how switching out just a couple accessories can make a space feel like a new room again. 

SHOP THE LOOK: 

Ahnesti Pillow // More Modern Throw Pillows	Bicknell Lamp // More Mid-Century Modern Lamps	Goddess Series Framed // More Wall Art
Rudea Vase //

One of the many aspects that I enjoy as part of my job is the ability to work with clients who all have different design aesthetics. It allows me to venture into different design styles that I appreciate and can have fun with and one of those is midcentury design. I love the simplicity of it but yet the unexpected elements that can be added to the space to make it just simply put.....cool! There is so much drama that can be made in a space without a lot of stuff. Unique wallpaper, textured walls, organic lines are just a few things that can make midcentury design beautiful. I worked with AllModern to put together a midcentury room update and pulled together inspiration photos similar to the moody bedroom we are working with. You can also shop these links below to purchase any of these items. 

Valentine's Day isn't just for lovers, it's for EVERYONE! Spouses, friends, kids, our four legged friends, teachers or whoever you wish to send a little extra love to this year! I know it's a Hallmark holiday but I grew up with my mom making a big deal about every holiday and I enjoy continuing the tradition in our house. It's a special day to show the special people in your life how much I love them!
