Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

6/24/2016


Happy Friday lovelies! I am so ready for the weekend to start! I had a bit of an interesting day yesterday. So if you follow me on Twitter, you saw that over last weekend I got sprayed in the face at Publix with cleaner. I didn't think much of it other than to be annoyed but earlier this week my left eye started to get red and itchy. Well Wednesday night and yesterday my eyelid got super swollen to the point where I basically had no eyelid, it was one giant puffy mess. I called my doctor and she recommended I come in so I left work early and went there only to find out that I was most likely having an allergic reaction to whatever was sprayed in my face earlier. Fun times. So now I'm on a topical steroid and the swelling has already gone done but that means no makeup for a few days.  This weekend is my birthday festivities even though my actual birthday isn't until Wednesday (yuck) so it's going to be a makeup free birthday, friends. I usually wait until after my birthday to celebrate but since my birthday is in the middle of the week this year and the weekend after is 4th of July weekend, I decided to celebrate early. It doesn't really feel like anything overly special this year but it will be nice to hang out with my favorites and celebrate a little! But before I start celebrating my weekend, linking up with Amanda for our Friday Favorites!


Friday Five 6/24/16


1 // This top is so perfect for summer and would be easily transitioned into fall with a cardigan or a jacket. I love the double layers and that it's flowy without being too loose.
2 // This year Sephora allowed you to choose between two birthday gifts and after asking the employee which she would choose I ended up with the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser and Rose Face Mask. I am hooked on this mask! It smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated. It's one of the only masks where I tried it and felt a difference the first time instead of needing to try it several times before seeing an improvement.
3 // This necklace is so fun for summer and would add an instant pop of color to any outfit! Love the mix of the neon with the turquoise, it reminds me of Islamorada Beer Co!
4 // Rebecca Minkoff gets me every. Single. Time. I clicked on an email they sent out this week and came across the sale section and this bag. I love the neutral color and that the style is a little different... oh and you can't beat the price! Also digging these sandals from the Tory Burch sale!
5 // I feel like Kate Spade really gets me with this case. But this one is also so me so I can't decide! I feel like the palm tree one is perfect for the summer but the leopard is perfect all year.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! If you want a sneak peek at my birthday festivities be sure to follow along with me on Snapchat {pamelanicole84} and Instagram {sequinsandseabreezes} this weekend!

  14. I love that tassel necklace and keep trying to convince myself I need it, haha. I have the mask from that birthday kit, but haven't tried it out yet. And ahhh how did they spray you in the face??! That's terrible, I'm glad you were able to get some medicine for it and hopefully it will be back to normal asap!

  20. Oh my...I'm so sorry to hear about the Publix incident. That sounds painful and so not fun! Glad the medicine is helping though.
    Kate Spade always has the cutest cell phone cases. I had a leopard one last year, loved it SO much! It's definitely hard to pick just one.
