Five on Friday

Happy Friday!

The days have been racing by as they always seem to from Labor Day until Christmas. It's been hectic, but fun!

1. Aladdin

The national tour of Aladdin made it's way through Baltimore. This was my third time seeing it  (previously on Broadway and in Chicago) and this time, I brought my mom and siblings along as a birthday/Christmas gift to them. It was such a fun night out!

2. Stoopsgiving

For the third year in a row, our group of neighbors turned close friends got together for our version of friendsgiving. It's amazing to see how our group has grown.

3. Daily ritual

I might be late to the party on this, but how did I not know Amazon has their own clothing brand now?! A lot of my basic T's were getting to the worn, pilling stage and I knew it was time to replace them. Amazon has the basics in multiple weights, styles, and all the essential neutral colors in the softest fabrics — and with reasonable prices! My personal favorites so far are this Jersey Elbow-Sleeve Boat Neck Shirt and the Supersoft Terry Short-Sleeve Shirt. I've got a handful more on my wish list.

4. Singin' in the Rain

One of my favorite local theatres, Olney Theatre Center, is currently performing Singin' in the Rain. I haven't seen the film since I was a kid and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was such a strong performance (just like every Olney show I've ever seen), and I was stunned when it actually rained on stage for the titular song! If you're nearby, the show runs until January 5. Some performances have discounted tickets available on Goldstar.

5. Booties

I struggle every year to find good boots and generally order multiple pairs before I find something that works for me. I ordered these toffee leather Lucky brand booties on sale and loved them so much, I ordered them in black as well! My office mate was curious so she ordered a pair and also ended up ordering a second! They're so comfortable and go with everything.
