Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

9/19/2014


Happy Friday dolls! We made it through another week! I took a much needed day off today and decided to start today's post with a little motivation. I've had a bit of a rough week and lately I've felt a bit down but I'm determined to turn that around get back to being more myself! Starting with hopefully getting over this cold/allergy attack that has made me feel super exhausted the past few days. I'm ready to be able to breath normally again! So if you don't hear from me as much as usual today, don't take it personally, just know I'm taking a little me time and I promise I'll be back to myself on Monday! But to start my weekend off I'm linking up with Amanda for our Friday Favorites!

1. It's officially the first tailgate of the year for UCF on Saturday and I'm super excited to make this dip for the tailgate! We don't have a huge group for this tailgate since it isn't really a big game and it's looking like it might rain (pleaseeee don't!) but I'm still excited to get out there and get to cheer for the Knights in person!

2. I've been on the hunt for the perfect faux leather skirt for fall. I had the same hunt going on last year but never found one. I finally found one I really liked and hastily bought it but it's too big so now I'm back on the hunt! I definitely need a cute leather skirt for this fall though... it's a necessity!

3. I am absolutely in love with these booties. Like NEED them in my life. Unfortunately they're currently out of stock in my size... boo... but I'm hoping they'll be back in stock soon. While they're still on sale preferably... if they don't come back in stock soon I might just bite the bullet and get them in black... or burgundy. They are SO comfortable!

4. Also hardcore in love with this look. Maybe with a different pair of shoes though. Love the edgy with the feminine.  Absolutely gorgeous look! Now I just need to find that dress....ugh. Any one know where to find it? Beside Pinterest.... LOL!

5. I really really really wanted to share this video with you but I can't seem to figure out how post it so instead you can watch it here. Yup totally loving that Meghan Trainor covered T-Swift's new song! And she did an amazing job! I'm definitely loving Meghan's cd too, her voice is SO good!

Any one have any plans this weekend? Anything exciting going on in the world?

  1. UCF alumni here and oh my goodness that dip looks so good!!
    Loving those booties as well, I agree on the tan as the right choice but if not black would go with everything. I hate making decisions like that.
    Have a wonderful weekend! Go Knights! :)

  2. I have a leather skirt from express that I love. It isn't super tight it flares out a tiny bit like a skater skirt. I got it a couple years ago though. Loving that 2nd outfit inspiration! XO Happy weekend! Feel better!
