Friday Favorites – Cozy
Don’t you love four day weeks? Mine has flown by and I can hardly believe it is Friday already but I am not complaining! The temps are finally such here in Texas we can finally think about snuggling up. I thought today I would share some of the things keeping me cozy these days!
{Sweaters}
I should have listened to Shay last year when she talked about how amazing this Halogen cashmere sweater was. It is back this year and I finally ordered this exact blue one now that it is marked down. I ordered in both a medium and a large and I am keeping the large for a little more length. Listen…if you like soft sweaters order this one!! There are still a few sizes left in several colors and I’ve also linked the v-neck style because there are far more colors in this one. The cream turtleneck Cassie has sported since fall and I received this one this week too and y’all….super soft! This sweater is also super lightweight and easy to layer. I actually purchased the medium because I wanted this color but it also comes in grey. I’ll be watching for the colored options to go on sale soon because it is so comfy and perfect length for leggings. This last sweater I have not received but did order and can’t wait to try it. I’ve seen Jo-Lynne sport it several times and I love the cut so we will see. I will be wearing the blue today so if you follow along on Instagram I’m sure there will be a selfie!

{Coffee}
I drink coffee every morning all year round and typically I’m drinking coffee from home. I have found my way to Starbucks several afternoons due to receiving some fun gift cards for Christmas. I am a black coffee drinker for the the most part but Starbucks now has coconut milk so I have been adding a splash steamed and y’all…the steamed milk just makes the coffee so much more perfect. Dutch & I enjoyed a little peace and quiet as we waited for sister to finish dance. Oh…and yes that is my $12 BP ring! Seriously friends..this is the best $12 bucks I’ve spent on an accessory and I go nowhere that someone has not commented on it!! Nail color is Black Cherry Chutney in case you are interested. Having my nails done also makes me feel cozy and I love dark colors this time of year.
{Soups}
If you like soups to keep you feeling cozy this time of year, you will want to scoot over and find all my favorites here! I’m thinking a pot of chicken chili is going to be on my weekend list. Soup not your thing? I also shared a killer perfect pasta yesterday and you can find that recipe here.
{Layers}
I think these pictures speak for themselves….I feel coziest with layers! There has been lots of layering this month and I could not be happier about it. I will say I cut my blanket scarf in half last week and was able to wear it without feel like I was smothering.
{Friends}
Friendships are the best aren’t they? Whether they are the “in person” meet you for lunch kind of friends, the share every single moment of your life friends or the blogger friends we meet here every day, friends make me feel cozy! I wanted to give a special thanks to Michelle at Grammie Time for featuring me as her January Connect With blogger. Michelle is so great at making sure to recognize other bloggers all the time. Visit her post here and see how I answered her fun questions.
Happy Friday everyone! I’m glad to say we have nowhere we have to be this weekend and I’m looking forward to layering up, drinking some coffee and hopefully reading a book or some other cozy activity.
What is your favorite way to stay cozy?

Your pup!! Way too cute. Also that chicken noodle is telling me to make some this weekend!!
Cozy is my love language!!! It's going to be chilly here in Florida this weekend too! And it's no secret I'm happiest curled up on some jammies, under a blanket with some coffee and a book! Enjoy your weekend my friend !!!
You had me at cozy! I think you should have added a picture of the a-MAY-zing blanket you gifted me! 🙂 That's the total definition of c-o-z-y!
Love all the sweaters you have shown. We are going to need them here this weekend. Snow is on the way! Might need to feed this cold with some of that chicken soup too. I am a new follower of Michelle's. She is such a sweetheart!
What a cute pic of you and you pup! I love BP's stuff–that ring is fabulous.

Super in love with your cozy Friday favs! First of all, I have to have that leopard cuff, where in the world did you get that? I've seen that chunky sweater on Jo Lynne as well and I'd really like to order one, thinking a Nordstrom order might be in my future today, LOL! Chicken noodle soup is one of our favorites and think it might be a good idea to throw some in the crockpot this weekend! Speaking of weekend, I hope it is full of smiles, love and laughter for you beautiful!
You do such a great job blogging. Keep up the good work!
I love seeing your clothing pics:)
You are so sweet to say that Kathy!! Thank you so much it made my weekend.
Girl….I have worn it so much since receiving it from my bestie for Christmas!! It is so much fun and easy to wear. Accessory Concierge has them online. I haven't received the chunky one yet but girl…the blue one is Ahh-mazing!! I wore it today and it is just so stinking cozy without being hot. Have a super weekend!
Thanks! He's such a pill but I just love him so. I had never tried any BP jewelry before but happened to be in a store and it caught my eye at the center. LOVE IT! !
This Halogen sweater seriously….I cannot say enough. I layered it today and it is so cozy without being too hot. I am going to have to really restrain myself from not ordering another. Have a super weekend!
It totally is! And I totally had that in my mind and somewhere it went by the wayside. #distractedmuch
Enjoy the cold and having your babies around!!
Thank you Morgan…he is a toot but I just love him so! Have a super weekend!
I have Black Cherry Chutney on my nails too. I've got it the last three times I've had my nails done. My salon is awesome as I can keep it 3+ weeks.
Soup is my very favorite year-round, but especially when it's chilly like this weekend – heading over to check out those recipes!
Ah! Sweaters! Those look incredible!
Oh Kari….the blue I wore today and it was nothing short of amazing!! Have a super weekend.
Great minds think alike!! The mani I had at Christmas was still going strong after 3 weeks and if my nails didn't grow so fast I might have been able to stretch it all the way to 4. So far this one is holding up nicely. Have a super weekend!
We definitely need sweaters to keep us cozy on these chilly Texas mornings lately. I love the bright blue sweater…it is a great color on you! And of course, love seeing pics of DB – looking cute as usual! Stay warm this weekend!
Sweaters! I love my fall/winter clothes SO much more than my spring/summer clothes. Layers, cozy, warm. So much better! And hooray for finding the right combo at Starbucks. I have a plethora of gift cards there too from Christmas, and we've been there more than normal! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Ahh I love cozy!! And everything you included in this post. The cold weather (it's finally 40 degrees up in the Dallas area), soups are a staple, and of course coffee. I always drink mine black too. I usually get the Americano with steamed soy milk. Oh it is so perfect! And the days i'm wanting iced coffee, an iced doppio espresso with my soy milk. Now you have me wanting to head up to Starbucks for a little bit! 🙂
Favorite way to stay cozy is with a big plush blanket from Target!! But cozy sweaters take a close second. Speaking of Target, they have a ton of great ones on sale right now 🙂 I love that picture of you and your dog!! Stopping by from Astleigh's link up!
I am snuggled up with a blanket from Target as I type! They had some really great ones this year. Hope you have a great weekend!
I have seriously had more Starbucks since Jan 1st than I have probably had all year…eek!! It's been nice to have a little cold here in Texas. We all know we will be melting soon enough.
Oh Tanya you should see the fun picture I took of DB on Friday night….as soon as I think of an appropriate hashtag I will be posting! Hope you guys are staying warm too. Today was absolutely gorgeous.
Hope you find something you like! I really think I'm going to have to make a pot of chicken chili tomorrow.
You layer so well – all those outfits look great! 🙂
Hope you have a cosy weekend!

You are the queen of layers, and I just ordered those sweaters after you suggested them. Thanks for the super fashion inspiration.
Oh your clothes are just the cutest. I wanna go shopping with you. I bet you could get me out of my "I only wear gray" rut :). I hope you had a great weekend!
You have to be kidding Beth…..you are adorable! And such a great figure I would have a field day dressing you. 🙂 Hope you are having a super week.
Oh my gosh Amy you will LOVE them! I seriously have already worn the blue twice and I received the 3rd one day and it is uber soft but I was so sad the color did absolutely nothing for me. Super cute fit too…bummed. Hope they work for you…they are all incredibly cozy!!
Thanks so much Mica! I've learned a few tricks finally to layer without feeling like I look heavier. Hope you are having a great week!
