Happy Friday! It's safe to say I'm happy the weekend is here. At the moment, I'm on the second and final day of a big work event, and though though this event is a very rewarding experience, it'll be nice to take a deep breath this evening. I'm also happy to be back with the fifth edition of Coffee Date, chatting about some of my recent purchases from the #NSALE as well as this fun Q+A that I first saw on Biana's blog. I always love getting to know my favorite bloggers a little better - so here's to answering the Only One Q + A.
wear one outfit | I just can't even answer this one.
carry one handbag | the LV Neverfull. I splurged on a Neverfull MM the last time I was in New York, and it is seriously the best bag ever. I was worried I would have buyer's remorse, but not once have I regretted the purchase.
use one skincare product | Vitamin A. I've realized that moisturizer with Vitamin A is the best thing for my skin, especially in the summer months. itCosmetics Confidence in a Cream is also an awesome moisturizer that doesn't focus on Vitamin A but does have retinyl in it, making it a great option (and what I'm wearing right now!).
wear one scent | Dolce & Gabana The One. My grandmother gave this scent to me probably 5 Christmases ago and it's been my go-to ever since.
indulge in one spa treatment | massage, massage, massage. That's my go-to and I've found a great therapist in Wilmington. I've struggled with back problems since I was in high school, and massage has been both a relaxation method and a pain relief.

apply one lipstick color | Benefit Lollitint - with a moisturizing lip balm underneath!
order one drink | a great glass of pinot grigio
pick one flower | peonies. They are seriously so beautiful. But hydrangeas tie for a close second.
apply one mascara | I honestly prefer lash extensions over mascara these days, but I do like MAC's False Lashes.
do one workout | Pure Barre! Barre is a workout that I don't always look forward to but love doing once I get there. After all, the hardest part of workout out is getting to the gym. Check out why I barre here.
read one author | this is a tough one. I have a lot of favorites, but I love relaxing with a good beach read, so Elin Hilderbrand is my girl. I'm taking this one on my trip next week.

It's also safe to say I've already done some damage in the Nordstrom sale. My purchases so far:
- This adorable top - if it wasn't 90 degrees outside I would've already worn it. It's sold out already but I'm hoping it'll be restocked soon.
- This oversized sweater - seriously so cozy. I'm nowhere near ready for summer to be over but I'm happy I'll have this to wrap up in when the weather cools down.
- This anorak jacket - I've wanted one of these for my fall wardrobe for awhile, so I'm excited to break this one out this fall.
- This sweater for my mom - she loves mine so I snagged one for her as well.
- I also ended up with these shoes - they are not part of the sale, but I've been looking for a staple pair of block heels for my fall and winter wardrobe for work, and these are perfect.
Cheers to Friday + the weekend! Make it a wonderful one!
