Favorite Things & Life Lately

{Paddywax candle, Sparkly necklace via Rocksbox, "S" necklace gifted, Bauble bar bangles, 

Modcloth bag, Bauble bar ear jackets {different color}, macaron key chain gifted

& Alex and Sierra t-shirt from their concert}

Look at how sparkly and pretty that Rocksbox necklace is guys! I couldn't pass it up. Luckily it was a bit cheaper than I thought it would be since they give you $10 every month to use. I've already worn it a bunch of times!

The "S" necklace is a gift from my friend, Jackie, because I'm her maid of honor!!! 

Remember when I went to a concert back in March with my friend, Avra? I've been using this pretty watercolor t-shirt as my new sleep shirt since even though it's a small it's too big on me. I got this amazing-smelling candle (seriously, it's smell like a campfire!) and a few books from the Strand while I was with Kristin two weekends ago.
