Friday Five
6/06/2014
Enough of the boring problems in my life... it's Friday and you know what that means! Time to team up with the ever so amazing Amanda from Meet @ The Barre for our weekly Friday Favorites! I gotta admit, this girl does an amazing job at cheering me up when I'm feeling down just by shooting me an e-mail so thanks Amanda! :)
1. Starting off the post with a little inspiration/motivation. I'm determined to make this June the exception to the past however many sucky Junes! And seriously any quote with glitter is a winner in my book. Who doesn't like a little sparkle every once in awhile?
2. My annual trip to Key West is less than a month away (YAY!) and I've been trying to find the perfect Key West appropriate 4th of July dress. I found the first dress and absolutely fell in love with it. Then I found the red and I love the crochet detail and the cross back but I'm worried outside of Key West it might not be appropriate. I don't know which dress to wear for 4th! What do you think?
3. Going out tonight to this Asian street fare restaurant to celebrate Shannon's (at Upbeat Soles) husband's birthday and I'm super excited to get to have their Roti Canai with spicy curry dipping sauce again! It was absolutely heavenly... and their curry meatballs. YUM!
4. I've been trying to come up with birthday ideas to give to my family and I've been having the worst time coming up with anything I want this year. There are so many things I want (ok, really only two things) that aren't tangible and that my family can't give me. But one thing I have had my eye on for awhile is this Coordinates Collection necklace. I think it's just the sweetest thing!
5. Lusting over this girl's outfit and how she can totally rock the sheer dress. If I tried to replicate this outfit I'd definitely look more like a street walker than effortlessly chic like she does. And her hair is definitely making me think I need to keep my balayage highlights through summer!
By the way, I have an obsession with Someecards if you haven't already noticed. I've been holding back on the count of not wanting to offend someone or ya know, making you guys think I'm crazy (only slightly, I swear) but Friday could use a few laughs so here are a few of my favs from this week:
You're welcome. ;) Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Awwwww girl you are so sweet I'm so glad I can help any way that I can! I need the link for those two dresses they are perfect!!! I love the Keys! How do you get there? The last time I flew and it was a 45 min flight! The coordinates necklace is so pretty! May need to add that to my birthday list ;-) That girls outfit is perfection! I'm selectively social for sure ;-) I hope you have a fabulous weekend beautiful! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that blue dress, I feel like it would look like perfection with a red lip. That sheer dress could totally be a beach cover up for your trip. No better place to rock that kind of look than on holiday! I hope your June gets better, it's my birthday month too!
ReplyDeleteFirst, love that quote! Second, we vote for the red dress for key west, its so fun! Cheer up love this month will turn around :)

Awww, hang in there babe. For some reason I get a little blue every June. I dont know why I just always do. This too shall pass! You seem to have the right attitude about it though. Keep your head up! I love those dresses! Where are they from? I literally want both! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteThe eCards get me every time! And that coordinates necklace is a perfect birthday wish list item! Hoping for a better rest of the month for you! xo
ReplyDeleteLOVE the red dress and my mouth is watering thinking of the rot & curry at Hawkers! So delish!!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many ecards, I am hooked too! ;) I hope this June proves you wrong and is the best ever! Ps- those coordinates necklaces are awesome, they would definitely make a great gift!
ReplyDeletehahaha I'll totally drink wine and judge others with you- like others who would try to pull off that sheer! (I do love that look though) I think my vote goes to the blue maxi- so pretty/hot! Happy weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteTo cool love the quotes have a great one.

An annual trip to Key West sounds fabulous! I've only been once, and am thinking maybe the long drive turned us off to making it happen more often. They have non-stop flights on Southwest now from Orlando so that is very tempting!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday :-D
Aw girl I feel ya on the whole difficult month of June issue. I'm dealing with some problems myself and I heavily believe in many glasses of wine in order to deal with said problems!! At least you have an awesome trip to Key West planned!!! That coordinates necklace is so adorable too!
ReplyDeleteThe last one cracked me up! and cheers to drinking wine! :) Nothing like a little vino to make any problem seem smaller! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like both those dresses, but I lean more towards the blue, 'cause it seems like an ocean-worthy color. Hahaha a slap in the face always happens for a reason.
ReplyDeleteThe coordinates necklace is so cool! <3
ReplyDeleteSweet Madame Blue
eCards always crack me up! Loving that girls outfit too, and I vote red dress for sure;)

YES to your ecards. The bully one is totally going in my mommy-one-day-file haha. Love the red dress if you're hoping to get more wear out of it? But then again, you have a killer body so get the blue and wear it to church! Or to... a restaurant hah. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope things start looking up for you soon!! Hang in there! I like the red dress for 4th of July and I totally think you could re-wear it again!
ReplyDeleteI adore the coordinates necklace! I have also been eyeing one forever...

That Ecard about "it happens for a reason" is the funniest thing I've seen in days. Instant mood uplifter! I don't know what the Key West scene is like, but I love both your dress options. Stay positive girl, and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post! I love those dress picks as well :)
