friday favorites

linking up with the bargain blonde for this week's friday favorites!





for the past few fridays i have been LOVING baublebar's buried baubles.  when you sign up for e-mails on their site they send you a clue each friday leading you to a piece of jewlery on sale for the day for $10!  not to mention free shipping as well..so for us NY'ers thats a whopping $10.86 with tax for an awesome piece of jewlery.  i've gotten a few items the past few weeks [ rainbow stud wrap bracelet and stalacite stud earrings ]


this spicy chicken rigatoni recipe.  had this last night for the second time in a few weeks and let me tell you - amazing!  definitely not the lowest calorie option, but i put extra peas in mine, go a little lighter on the alfredo sauce and sub in some whole wheat pasta.  super comforting dish, easy to make & perfect for leftovers!  a warning, however: if you don't handle spice well i'd put much, much less red pepper in this than the recipe calls for - its a scorcher!


my mani this week was courtesy of the essie 'poppy razzi' collection.  orange is such a big color right now and this one is perfect!  i would suggest doing your base coat in an opaque white instead of the traditional clear for a brighter finish on the polish.


the drink of the week [ and pretty much every week, who am i kidding? ] is barefoot pinot grigio.  definitely one of my favorites from barefoot besides the sauvignon blanc & so reasonably priced as well!


the quote of the week is a very appropriate one as i will be have a quintessential new york weekend.  heading to the mets/reds game at citi field tonight [ reo speedwagon concert to follow the game - 80s tastic ], going to brunch tomorrow with one of my college friends and then heading to a birthday party tomorrow night for another friend.  sunday will be much quieter as i head to long island to celebrate the graduations of 2 of my cousins - one from college & one from high school.


hope you guys have a great weekend!
xx, C.
