Neely’s Favorite Finds v.2

Another installment of my Favorite Finds…

1. The Newsroom: In my mind Aaron Sorkin can do no wrong. From West Wing to The Social Network he is a brilliant writer! Newsroom does not disappoint. I was so excited for this show before it aired and was counting down the minutes the day of. From the first episode it captured me. I love politics and the news and this show keeps you glued. I love the concept of starting the show 2 years prior to the actual date. You see news stories that we have witnessed happen and how they come about in a Newsroom. I love seeing all of the behind the scenes of a Newsroom stuff as well. Its on HBO on Sunday nights at 9 CST. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet. 


2. Where We Belong by Emily Giffin: I just adore Emily Giffin. She is hands down the nicest person ever. Yep I met her 2 years ago. We had a great chat over some Mambo Taxi’s at Mi Cocina. YUM. She will be in Dallas in a few weeks for a book signing and of course I preordered her newest book as soon as I could. I devoured this book in 2 days and it was hands down my favorite one since Love the One You’re With. Go get it now! 


3. Bobbi Brown Touch Up stick: OMG how did it take me so long to discover this wonder thing. I have 3…One in my purse, one in my desk at work and one in my bathroom at home. The price is reasonable and I imagine it lasts for a while. Perfect for that mid day cover up of that pesky little blemish that pops up out of nowhere! 



4. Some Nights by Fun: Just listen to it. You’ll love it too. 


5. Jcrew Flats: This is my first pair of Jcrew flats. Not sure why. I guess I have always had a thing for Tory Burch flats and never really moved beyond that. Anyways I have an obsession for polka dots. I just love them. Beyond ruffles I think they are such a fun girlie addition to a wardrobe. So when I saw these Navy and White polka dot Jcrew flats I had to have them. I love the fit, I love the sleekness. I love how they are going to look with leggings and a cute top come fall….just LOVE. 





6. The most versatile tank top EVER: So a few months ago I was at Target(of course) and I found this extra long fitted tank top. LOVE. I love long tanks and shirts cause I can wear them with leggings …I hate when leggings are worn as pants! I digress… Anyways, I am about 99% sure this tank is a swimsuit cover up because it was near the swimsuits. I have worn it as a swimsuit cover up, as a workout tank top, I have slept in it and worn it with skinny jeans a cardigan and flats. Yep most versatile tank ever! No I don’t care that I am technically wearing a swimsuit coverup…I have this in 4 colors. Obsessed! Also it runs super huge I actually wear and XS in it. 

What are some of your favorite finds lately?

  2. First off, I can NOT stop listening to “Some Nights”, it’s so good! Also, I adore Emily G. I just finished re-reading “Love the One You’re With” and I could barely put it down, even if it was a second reading.

    I’ve been using that Bobbi Brown stick since 2001 and I LOVE it. Best thing ever. Oh and love that song too. I posted about it several weeks ago for Sunday Social. I loved it from the first time I heard it.

  7. Love Newsroom! Although sometimes I have to go back and listen again to what they say; they speak way too fast for this southern girl!

    My fav find lately has been 3/4 length open front cardis @ marshalls…I bought them in 3 colors because they will fit no matter how big the belly gets in the next 5 months!

    The flats and tank are my favorites. I have a long black shirt my mom got me at Target that I love. I haven’t had lots of opportunities to wear it, but I definitely love it.

    I need the flats but maybe in another color as I’m not a navy girl – makes me look like a corpse. I will put the book on my wish list to read as I usually enjoy her books, too. And, I love Newsroom! I’m currently loving The Glee Project, Mary Tyler Moore reruns (seriously), and the Andy Cohen book.
