F&F Friday Favorites ~ 08.01.14

Not gonna lie, I’m just a LITTLE cranky right now because as I work from home staring at the sun OUTSIDE of my apartment, all I can think about is how the weather this weekend is supposed to be so crappy. It is one of the three free weekends I have all summer. Really? I actually can’t even talk about it. Grump city. Moving on.
