Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

7/24/2015


Happy Friday my lovelies! We made it through yet another week! Which also means I am one week closer to my Charleston trip! I cannot believe that in two weeks I will be in Charleston at this very moment! We started planning this trip in March so even though it seems like it's super close it's actually been a long time coming! Linking up with my girl Amanda to share with you some of my Friday Favorites... most of which will be coming with me to Charleston! :)
1. Thanks to the gorgeous Zelle, I ran out and scooped up this maxi dress for my trip! It will be perfect for sightseeing and walking around exploring.
2. These heels! I asked for your opinion last week and finally decided on these beauties. I've worn them twice so far and they are SO comfy! I was worried they'd be big on my ankles (and they are, darn super tiny ankles) but they don't look bad so I decided to keep them.
3. Getting my hair done before our trip because let's be real people, the grays are out in full force right now, and as much as I LOVE my lighter bayalage ends... the bleach and heat has fried them. So I think to avoid having to cut my hair much shorter I'm going to skip the bleach and go back to my all brunette roots. Kendall's hair is gorgeous here so I'm thinking I might prep for fall a bit early and go a little darker.

 4. I really really really wanted this romper for Charleston but 1. didn't think it would make it here on time and 2. didn't want to pay $58 for a romper so I went into Target to get above maxi dress and what do I find... these shorts! SO cute and less than $20!


5. Finally, I started reading this book this week at the recommendation of Kristen and so far I love it! I was going to wait to read it on the plane but now I just can't put it down! I have a feeling this one will be done this weekend since it's supposed to be rainy all weekend.

Hope everyone has a gorgeous weekend!

  1. Those heels look amazing, so cool they are comfortable, too!

    I've heard great things about that book, I used to read the Fug Girls' blog everyday. They are hilarious and the fashion they make fun of is super atrocious. I'll put that on my list with a star now!

    Happy Friday, pretty!

  2. Love all of your Charleston picks. There's nothing better than getting a fresh do before going on vacation!
    I haven't read that book but have seen it other places in blog world. Might have to add it to my list after your glowing recommendation.

  4. I love balayage but it's damaging my ends too. My hair is so dark and just doesn't like to be lightened. I have been using Olaplex (great for color) and while it works well I still am not loving my hair at the moment. I can't wait to see what you do with yours. I bet you are so excited for your trip...that is so much fun. Enjoy your weekend!

  20. Yay for two weeks to go! At first glance of that book I think I need to get that asap for my trip! Love your Charleston picks especially that maxi. It's funny when my friends and I went last summer for my Bachelorette party we we're packing purely to stay cool because it would be so hot down there but I'm guessing for you maybe it will be a little bit cooler than FL?!

  26. I love the dress and shoes!!! And that color is just fabulous! I need to get my hair done, I haven't been since December...oops!! I get lucky in the summer and the sun touches up my highlights for me and it seems to hide the few grays well. I will probably go darker too when I go. Close enough to fall! have a great weekend!
