Friday Favorites + Link-Up
Hi Friends! Welcome back to the Friday Favorites link-up! Another Friday means even more favorites. Want to know what I’ve been digging lately? Well, here you have it! After featuring complete styled looks for the past two weeks, we’re officially back with a classic favorites collection. Let me know which is your favorite, too!
What are you all doing this weekend? I’ll be attending a much-anticipated formal event; my sorority’s 30th Anniversary, aka an enormous reunion! Everyone’s really excited. I’ll be catching up with old pals, meeting a ton of new people, and revisiting the fun we had in college. Want to know what I’m wearing? Follow me on Instagram (@theclosetbychristie) for a sneak peek and check back here next week for a special ‘What I Wore’ post. I’ll give you a hint! It’s a very ‘The Closet by Christie’ type of look.

You can always count on WHBM to provide us with high quality classics! I’ve been so into turtlenecks lately and a sleeveless one is essential because it makes such a great layering piece. Not sure how to style it? Check out my post from a few weeks ago for some pointers: How To Wear A Turtleneck- The New Classic.
Topshop is one of my favorite stores and a little secret is that they have amazing jewelry! Great quality, fabulous designs, and affordable pricing. Now, that’s a triple threat!
Plaid, plaid, and more plaid. It’s one of my absolute favorite fall prints and to say I’m ‘mad for plaid’ is a major understatement! Everyone needs a plaid scarf in their winter wardrobe. I love the burgundy color of this one!
This bag isn’t plain or simple; it’s a classic! Don’t let the minimalist design fool you. This bag doesn’t mess around. It’s straight to the point and it will be your best friend through all seasons for years and years to come! Who wouldn’t want that?
We featured these flats in blush as part of our office look last week (see previous post: Friday Favorites, 11/5). I loved them so much that I couldn’t resist including them again but this time, in light grey! They are so beautiful and even though the lace-up element is a trend, there’s something so classic about them. Don’t you think so?
What are your favorites of the moment?

WHAT I GOOGLED THIS WEEK
I think we’re all guilty of Googling how to do things, fact-checking, or
asking Siri things we’ve been pondering. I’m curious by nature and I
like to figure things out on my own, so I’m constantly Googling
everything!

everything!
Here’s my top 5 of the week:
1- Book of Life movie quote
Halloween had me thinking about this movie. Who else has seen it? It’s really cute! Here’s the quote I was searching for: “Anyone can die. These kids- they will have the courage to live.” – The Book of Life. Profound!
2- Blue Valentine
I haven’t seen this movie but I heard it’s really good. I’m a bit of a movie junkie and I love dramas and thrillers. If someone says it’s good, it becomes a must-see for me. I’ll get to it! Who has seen it?
3- Synonym: Follower
I recently watched a documentary style movie on ABC Family called ‘Baring It All.’ It was all about NYFW! It was a little longer than it needed to be but it was pretty good. Shea Marie (from Peace Love Shea) was on it and she kept saying things like “I have an enormous following” and “my followers.” It really just rubbed me the wrong way! But it’s not her; it’s our social media lingo. Want to know the result of my search? The best alternative was supporter! You’ll never catch me talking about my ‘followers’ because I have more respect for them than that. They’re my supporters!
4- ‘Feed‘ Indie Movie
I love a good artistic Indie film! It was just announced that Troian Bellisario wrote this screenplay and is set to star in the film with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter). If you haven’t seen her in Pretty Little Liars, this lady can act! She really commits to the character and she’s amazing in emotional scenes. If you don’t watch PLL, check her out in the movie Consent. It was a very strange but interesting movie and she was fantastic in it.
5- What time is 2300?
Who else is puzzled by military time? Can’t we just read time normally? Ack, thank goodness for the internet!
