Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

7/01/2016


Happy Friday and first day of July friends! Thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes on Wednesday, you guys are so sweet! My birthday was definitely a great day, who says getting older has to be bad, right? I've definitely noticed more and more people taking blogging breaks for the summer and I think I've decided to blog Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for the summer so if you notice me cutting back on posts, that's why. Work has been pretty busy so it's getting harder and harder for me to find time during the day to read and respond and with it staying light so late I find myself wanting to do more things when I get off work so cutting back just seems to make the most sense. Hope everyone understands! With that being said, I'll probably take Monday off since it is a holiday but after that I'm going to try to stick to a schedule! Now that I've got that out of the way, let's jump into my Friday Favorites with Amanda!

Friday Five - 7/1/16



1 // The Mara Hoffman sale is on and I am loving SO many things. If this one was in my size I'd immediately scoop it up, the ruffle top is so cute! But definitely picking up these bikini bottoms to match some of the plain black tops I have and loving this print too... so many choices!
2 // My mom got me the Watt's Up highlighter for my birthday and I am obsessed. I really wasn't sure how I'd like the cream to to powder but it's great and the glow is absolutely perfect!
3 // Love the Chloe espadrille wedges but don't want to spend $600+ on them? I don't blame you! These are a perfect dupe for $160!
4 // I'm not really big on hot coffee (especially not in the summer) but this coffee mug describes exactly how I feel every weekend. Seriously, who do we need to talk to to make that a thing?
5 // Continuing with my tassel obsession... these are so stinkin' cute! I love the bright colors and they even look cute together!

Hope everyone has a fabulous and safe 4th of July weekend!

  20. I'm so happy that you had a good birthday!! You deserved it. I totally don't understand how people drink hot coffee in the summer. It's already so hot and humid, the thought of a hot drink makes me dizzy. But then again, I usually only drink iced coffee. Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.

  23. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I only own like 2 things with tassels on them. I definitely need one of those necklaces in my life! Plus, that bathing suit is so cute, too. Have a great weekend!

  24. I hope that you have the best time celebrating the Fourth this weekend and hopefully a little more birthday celebrations too! I want to know where I can get one of those rose dispensers because I don't know how my life is complete without one right now! And yes to all the coffee mugs! I'm not a huge coffee drinker either, but I can never have enough coffee mugs.

  28. Adorable ruffle top bikini and i think those colors would look fab on you if you can get it in your size. I have a sample size of the Whatsapp and really need to use it more often now that you say it's pretty amazing. Have a wonderful weekend!
