Friday Favorites + Blogtember #23
Yesterday I skipped sharing fall favorites for the Blogtember Challenge because it was my sweet Carly’s 11th birthday so of course she deserved a dedicated post! Today I’m back sharing a favorite family recipe perfect for chocolate lovers.
My Meme made these chocolate cookies all my life around Christmas. There is nothing about them that makes them a Christmas cookie in particular but for whatever reason that is the only time she baked these and would package them along with pecan tarts and her sisters divinty for friends and family. After she passed away I picked up the recipe and her tradition and made it my own by sharing with people during the holiday season. I really cannot eat just one! Meme’s Chocolate Cookies are bite size pieces of chocolaty goodness and super easy to make.

On Wednesday I also shared this little Buffalo Plaid shift dress which I definitely had to wear as a top. I noticed today Target has BOGO 50% off on most clothing, shoes and accessories so I thought I would share a few other picks! Of course if you still haven’t jumped on the animal print fold over clutch, you should definitely head over to Gray Monroe and pick one up for yourself!
My friend Andrea at Living on Cloud Nine showcased this sweet little boho dress a few weeks back. I just love the fun color and print. Seriously, how fun is the pattern play on the cuffs of this plaid shirt dress? I saw this little floral midi in the store and I really think it deserves a chance! Carly Jo was not impressed but I think it has lots of potential.
I also ordered the animal print shirt dress and it was a cute fit but I did end up returning simply because I did not feel I needed it in my closet. This dress is the same as the floral print below and I’m kind of wishing I had ordered the floral instead!
How fun is this floral print dress for fall? I’m loving the way this dress has been styled with booties too. A great Chambray Dress can be dressed so many different ways. Add a jacket, booties, heels, tall boots and you instantly change up the look. This last little shift dress has such a fun pattern and I am loving teal.
I’ve had this dress for several years but this week I topped it with a leopard infinity scarf and my new favorite sandals for fall. I loved the way it turned out.
Not sure if you gals remember this Little Knot + Polka Dot post but this Lush top is on sale again in both the olive and the orange in most sizes. I love this top and actually think I may have ruined my green one so I may have to snag another!
Have you shopped Target recently? So many fun goodies to pick from this fall!
Wishing you all an amazing weekend!

Target is really killin' it this year! I love those dresses!
You are a precious Angel, thanks for mentioning my Boho dress, still love that lil frock….and love you!! The leopard, chambray and sandals, girl…you're killing it…the perfect Fall outfit in my eyes! Have the cookies ready, I'm coming over for coffee, lol. Happy Weekend sweetness!!
I think your Target is better than my Target.
Haha…girl you know I rarely actually shop anywhere but my living room!! I ordered online!
Wouldn't that just be the best girlie?!! Hope you have a super weekend!

By goal is to find and ROCK some buffalo plaid this Fall!
I LOVE Target's clothes! They're so cute and cheap! I saw that re dplaid dress the other day, but didn't pick it up – looks like I have to now 😉
Yes I have! I just ordered 2 cute boho type tops and I love them! I am wearing one tonight for dinner at the club! They are so cute and versatile and I can't complain about the price!
I always find the best stuff online at Target, Laura! Seriously, they have SO MUCH MORE online then in the store!
I go back and forth on buying really pricey things and really cheap things….I love the fact I can walk into a boutique and drop some $$ on a piece that not many others will be wearing but I also hate when my messy self proceeds to spill something on it. Much easier to toss a Target top! haha
It is so much cuter on that I expected Morgan! Definitely some good finds at Target.
I know!! I seriously am like what?? I need to look through the wear what where line some more.
THanks love! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks Jaymie! Not sure how I've missed this combo in the past!!
Love the chambray dress with the animal print. So cute! You did a great job of finding the cute stuff at Target! I always find more online with Target than in the store. Ours gets picked over fast!
YUM those cookies look good. Thanks for sharing. I'm a huge chocolate lover 🙂
Isn't that the truth! Nothing chaps my hide more then when I get a stain on a new top from Nordstrom! With target it's a tad easier to swallow!!
Those cookies, need them right now 🙂 That plaid dress looking great on you, but I already told you that. I always think that style of dress look so good on people then when I try it myself, I don't feel it looks as good. I'll find it one day!
All such fab looks and gimme those cookies! ;P
Thanks so much for linking up with Fun Fashion Friday!

I can't believe that buffalo plaid top is suppose to be a dress. Wow! Really? I see why you wore as a top. So cute! Love the chambray shift dress with the scarf. Beautifully accessorized. And those cookies look delicious!
Right? Maybe for someone but NOT me!! I love it though and really do think I'll be able to stretch it for a few months with a long sleeve top under. This may be my fave way I've ever worn my chambray dress…always amazed I didn't think of it sooner! And girl…these cookies are EVERYTHING. 🙂
Dawn Lucy these cookies….oh heavens they are irresistible! Thanks for hosting.
Sarah these cookies are everything and so easy!! I totally think you rock a swing style dress girlie. I really didn't think I could wear them either but the increase in my waist size over the summer made me change my mind. 🙂
Heather if you love chocolate you will not be able to resist these! So perfect and the reason I only make them once a year. I cannot eat just one..two…three
Same here Tanya. Rarely do I find a lot of wins in the store. I think I also just do better when I see the item on a person online!
You go girl! It's one of my fave prints for sure.
Great looks! I love the chambray shirt dress with the leopard scarf.
Thanks so much for linking up with Friday Favorites! Hope you’re having an awesome week!
