Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

7/18/2014


Happy Friday dolls! Yet another week down. How is this year going by so fast? I swear every time I blink it's another month! As excited as I am for football season to start again I'd definitely appreciate time slowing it's roll for me so I can catch my breath! I feel like my vacation was forever ago and I'm definitely already ready for another one. This time last year I was preparing to make a trip back to my hometown and that has definitely made me miss it!  Ok enough with the complaining, it's Friday and you know what that means! 


Meet At The Barre
That's right, it's time for the Friday Favorites with Amanda from Meet @ The Barre! If you haven't checked our her amazingly gorgeous engagement photos you totally should!

1. So I finally took the plunge and ordered this dress from SheInside. I've seen a lot of bloggers wearing stuff from them lately but I've also heard some negative things so I was a bit hesitant about placing an order. Of course you're going to give the blogger a positive experience but if someone orders that you don't know is a blogger that's a different story. I just ordered this on Monday so it isn't here yet but if I have a good experience you can expect to see a lot more things on my blog from there!

2. Hello Nordstrom anniversary sale! Super excited about these Kendra Scott earrings! I've been lusting after them for awhile, I definitely think now is the time to get them! I've been having a hard time deciding what color to get them in, they're all so pretty. I'm really loving these chalcedony ones though!

3. Isn't it awesome when you have a favorite nail polish (or lipstick) that you completely forget about then when not even looking you come across it again and are reminded how much you love it? Yeah, that totally happened to me this week. Essie Penny Talk is one of my all time favorite colors and I haven't worn it in months! I'll definitely be sporting it this weekend!

4. Like I previously mentioned, football season is right around the corner and I NEED this. It's no longer available on the Etsy store but I'm REALLY hoping she makes more when it's closer to football season. This koozie is way too cute to pass up!

5. These absolutely look amazing... I really think I'm going to have to try to make these soon. Even though they sound kinda complicated to make. And by complicated I mean you have to make the sauce several hours in advance and I pretty much never plan out my meals that long in advance! But seriously... they look SO good. 

Hope everyone has an amazing and fabulous weekend! I definitely plan on spending as much time as possible doing as little as possible! :)

    Happy Friday! That dress looks gorgeous, so I hope you end up having a good experience with the site! Don't you hate when you find things on Etsy that are no longer available- or the store is on vacation! That always seems to happen to me when I find things through pinterest!

    I LOVE that dress! I need it asap! I have the KS earrings in the color pictured (which I love!) but the grey has been catching my eye lately and would be perfect for fall! Hope you have a great weekend girlie!! xo

    I've never seen Essie's Penny TalK but it looks beautiful on you -- what a unique color! The Nordy sale has been all the talk the week, so I'm just gonna have to bit the bullet and check it out, especially for those earrings. Have a great weekend!

    that dress is gorgeous! i have ordered from sheinside several times, but never a dress and never anything 'one size' as i find their stuff runs super small. there is a blog i follow (the londoner) who ordered a one size dress and it looked like it fit her perfectly, so i knew it wouldnt fit me haha. i have a bunch of tops from there, the quality is no better or worse than F21 and the like, and the prices are great (just takes so.long.)

    Essie Penny Talk is what I had on my toes for my friends' wedding - I am obsessed with the color! I have a feeling that bottle will be used up in no time. Have a great weekend, doll! xo

    Love the shade of that nail polish! I have a gold from Essie that I love! I have had really good experience with SheInside... but then again I am a blogger. However, in all the sites I have ordered from like them (Oasap, Persunmall, SheInside, etc.) only once I have I gotten an item that I was unhappy with!

    I'm really curious to see how your Sheinside experience goes. I've heard the same mixed bag of experiences but some of their things are really cute. Love those Kendra Scott earrings!

    I totally want to hit up the Nordstom sale--Kendra is calling my name :) I have ordered a lot of things from SheInside--all nice things, but sometimes didn't fit like advertised so that was my only complaint!

    I am totally obsessed with that koozie, though mine would need to be a glitzy green and white NY Jets version :) But if you're going to be watching football, you should absolutely do it with the sparkley drink holder! Here's hoping they bring them back when the season starts!

    Pamela you are too funny! We have very similar taste, too! I am also snatching up a pair of those Kendra Scott earrings during the Nordstrom sale! I am going with white though. I just realized that I have a big gap in my earring wardrobe where a pair of white statement earrings should be. I need to correct that asap! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! PS - I love that beer koozie! Too cute!
