Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

8/21/2015

Weekend Quote

Happy Friday dolls!  We finally made it! Is it just me or did this feel like the longest week ever? Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration but I felt like it was Thursday on Wednesday so my days were all off. But the weekend is finally here and I plan on doing plenty of relaxing to try to kick this cold I have, completely out of my system. Speaking of, thank you for all your sweet get well wishes and suggestions yesterday, you guys are amazing! MUAH! Since it's Friday, let's link up with Amanda, for our Friday Favorites!
Rockstud Kitten Heel
1. Since my post on Wednesday about the shoes that will always be in style, I've been on the hunt for the perfect Valentino Rockstud dupes. I want the flats and the kitten heels and I am extremely happy that I found BOTH for amazing prices on Amazon! I'm definitely getting these flats (I just can't decide between nude and red) and these kitten heels!

Lancome Genifique

2. I have a confession. I am obsessed with this stuff and I've only been using it a week. No seriously. It. Is. Amazing. I mean, Princess Kate uses this stuff. It has to be good, right? I plan on doing a full review when I've been using it for a month or so but I am totally in love so far. It's expensive but worth every penny.

Fall in Cincinnati
3. When Karly posted that it was 60 degrees where she lives yesterday I got extremely jealous. Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT a fan of cold weather so I love where I live but I miss fall like crazy. It was my favorite season and now we skip right over it. Fall in Cincinnati is so gorgeous (as you can see from above) so I really start to miss it this time of year.

Penguin Alex & Ani Bracelet

4. I finally got my mermaid Alex & Ani bracelet (thank you Amanda!!) so my next one needs to be this adorable penguin. Since penguins are my favorite animal this definitely needs to be added to my collection. I also kinda love this.

Mermaid Mug

5. Finally, I want this mug SO bad but I don't want to have to order it. Why is there not a Nordstrom within a 100 mile radius of me?!? It's not like I live in a tiny city or something. Stupid Florida Mall. I'll probably end up giving in and getting in, especially for when it gets to be cold out and I drink more hot coffee and tea!

Alright, that's it for this week! Hope everyone has an amazing weekend, I'll see you all again on Monday!

  1. Hope you can get all better this weekend, lady. Being sick is no bueno! Can't wait for your review, if you and the Princess use the stuff, it is now a must for me ;)! 60s, where or where does she live? I'm not quite ready for 60, but you are right Cincy is quite gorgeous in the fall. Love your picture!

    Get the mug, it will be great for tea in the future! HAPPY FRIDAY, GORGEOUS! xoxo

  8. Get the mug at least they always have free shipping! I know I saw that it was 60 degrees where she was and all I could think of was my boots. Well Mark and I were just sitting here talking about how we have no Nespresso boutique and we may have to drive to Orlando to get our capsules. I will let you know if we do!

  9. I love those flats! I got some similar ones (no ankle strap) from Target years ago and they need replacing badly. I vote nude heels because they go with more!

  13. It was in the low 70s here yesterday and it felt cold haha. But I won't complain!! I love your mug an that mermaid charm, so cute. As for the shoes, I think that you should get whatever color works more with your wardrobe/which one you'll wear more. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!! :-)

  16. There is no Nordstrom around you?! That's a crime!! I'm dying for both pairs of shoes, you have to let me know how they fit!! Hope you have a great weekend and are feeling better! xoxo

  17. Great find on those shoes!! Way to go! I do love my rockstud flats. I have them in hot pink and they are awesome. I actually got them on sale. Isn't that crazy? Sometimes the colors do go on sale but you have to be quick. I had no idea that Lancome stuff was good, I had a sample of it and gave it away. Damnt. I will use anything Dutchess Kate uses. Haha. Love her. Hope you have a great weekend.

  18. Anything that Kate uses, I need to use! She is amazing! And love those shoes and the new bracelet - I also think you need to order that mug ;) Happy Friday!

  20. I hate how there isn't a Nordstrom near by, but at least we get free shipping no matter what. And loving that penguin bracelet, too adorable! I may have to look into Lancome, I mean if Princess Kate uses it, it must be fabulous!

  27. You are too funny - don't get me wrong, I'm pretty excited to start dressing for fall but not in August! It was quite a shock to my system yesterday. :) I'm so excited about those Rockstud dupes that you found - I may just get some for myself! Hope you continue to be on the mend this weekend!

  28. You found some good deals on those shoes my friend!!! I am loving that penguin bracelet, I love penguins too!!! And that mug is fabulous. Don't they do free shipping at Nordstrom? We don't have one near us either, just a Nordstrom Rack...but I love the rack!!! And ummmm I cannot wait for your thoughts on the Lancome product after you have been using it awhile. I used to be obsessed with all of their stuff but haven't used it in awhile. I will totally splurge if that bottle works! I hoe you feel better! Have a great weekend!
