Happy Friday! I can't tell you how excited I am that it's Friday and a three-day weekend! As soon as I finish my last OR case of the day (which will hopefully be early since I'm on anesthesiology), we're heading off to New Hampshire where we'll be staying at a farmhouse in the White Mountains. Can't wait! So today I'm linking up with the lovely {av} from Long Distance Loving for Friday's Fancies, sharing a look I'd wear for the weekend! I hope you all have amazing weekends, and as always thanks for reading! 

Peplum and Polka Dots

A fun look I wore for a weeknight out (a bit more casual than the simple outfit I wore this weekend). Sorry my recent posts have been shorter, but my time off from my surgery rotation is spent studying (or trying to) and catching up on sleep - 14 hours days catch up to you! Thankfully I'm doing a week of anesthesia right now which has much nicer hours! PS get your work looks ready because next Wednesday will be September's edition of Work It Wednesday!

Call me crazy but after being on my feet in the hospital from 5am to 7pm I still couldn't wait to throw on some heels and celebrate one of my best friend's birthdays. Here's what I wore for a fun night out catching up with friends. Now to get some studying in and then nap... tonight I work 6pm to 6am! Wish me luck! As always thanks for reading ❤

P.S. Thank you so much to all of you who have sent me health or beauty questions, I'm reading each and every one of them and hope to get to answering them tomorrow! Stay tuned this upcoming week for this first post in this new feature!

Recent Purchases

Click each number for the item! {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

I've been bad the last couple of weeks - here are a few of my recent {guilty} purchases. I've been craving this leather jacket from Asos for more than a year now and finally sucked it up and made the purchase! And can you believe I haven't invested in a pair of leopard flats before this? Believe me ladies, this "trend" is here to say and when I saw this sleek pointy-toed pair I finally made the leap. I'm still looking for a good pair of tall boots for fall, and then back to just thrifting for my "new" clothes. What wardrobe pieces have you purchased recently? 

Summer Weekend Wear

Nothing says summer weekends like comfy cutoff shorts, a light striped tank top and hair pulled back with a bandana. And hanging from trees ;)

Roadtripping

Some photos from a lovely weekend spent leisurely roaming the backroads of Western Mass and heading up the hills. 

I hope you all had wonderful weekends and are ready for another week!

Chevron Nail Tutorial

Hope you guys enjoyed the little picture tutorial! I'd love to know how yours come out! Remember to make sure your nails are completely dry before each step! Happy Friday!

Fall Cravings: Suede Ankle Boots

Clockwise from top left {Report, KORS Michael Kors, DV by Dolce Vita, Asos}

Let's just say my first purchase for this fall will be a pair of suede ankle boots. Ok, ok, I'll admit it: I already bought the pair in the top left. In the picture on the top righ Samantha (from the blog could i have that) looks perfect - total inspiration for one way to wear these booties! My absolute favorite are the $350 Michael Kors pair, but the second best and winner as far as price are definitely the Report boots, a steal at $50! Will you be wearing these booties this fall? You already know I will!

Soft Summer Hair and Skin

The two products I can't live without for summer: Coconut Oil and Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner. Read below for how I use these!

Deep conditioner: Apply coconut oil to dry hair and leave on for at least 2 hours (I usually leave on overnight with a shower cap on). Shampoo and condition hair as normal the next morning. My favorite deep conditioner!

Body scrub: In a small bowl mix 1 part coconut oil with 1 part plain sugar. Apply to dry skin in circles as you would a body scrub. Wash up in the shower with soap as usual (but be careful, the floor may get slippery)!

Shaving lotion: Apply tropical coconut conditioner to legs in shower as shaving lotion - you're guaranteed a close and smooth shave (these Schick razors are my absolute favorite).

Moisturizer: Apply a small amount (and I mean a small amount) of coconut oil to body. This oil absorbs pretty quickly so you won't feel greasy, just amazingly soft!

Daily hair rinse: For those of you with drier hair (like me), the tropical coconut hair conditioner can be used daily in the shower as a hair rinse. No need for shampoo, just rub into scalp and hair in the shower and rinse! Especially if you're wearing your hair naturally curly this is one of my favorites.

So there you have it ladies, a few uses for two amazing (and ridiculously cheap) products. What are your favorite products for summer?
