Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

1/23/2015

 
Happy Friday love bugs! Made it through yet another week and just like that, we're almost out of January! Hopefully that means warmer weather is on the way soon for all my northern (that's pretty much everyone not here in Florida with me) friends! Being almost out of January also means one of my blogger besties, Amanda, is ALMOST to her wedding day!! Eeeeekkkk! I don't know about you but I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about her big day but for now I'm linking up with her for our Friday Favorites!



1. So now that it appears I'm going to become a train commuter most of the week I'm looking for a bigger bag that I can carry my laptop or at least my iPad with me as well as a few other essential items that I normally wouldn't keep with me. I love this Tory bag (how could you not?) but I also love a few other bags like this one, this one and this one. Any suggestions from my bigger purse carrying friends? I'm usually a small bag carrier so I'm pretty lost right now!


2. I got this adorable Sugar Paper planner from Target this week and I'm obsessed. Pink is quite possibly the farthest from my favorite color but this little planner is just too cute to be bothered by the fact I'm not a huge pink fan. 


3. I am obsessed with layers lately. Layered rings, layered clothes and especially layered necklaces. Could this layered look be any more perfect?!? Seriously if someone loves me they'll get me a dainty gold shark's tooth necklace to add to my collection asap! ;) 
 
 
4. I made this amazing pasta dish this week and I already can't wait to make it again. 20 minutes and one pot?! The perfect easy weeknight meal!


5. Yup, I'm still very much so summer dreaming so when I saw this bikini on Pinterest I fell in love. Darn you Mara Hoffman for making the most amazing swimwear ever. Hurry up summer, I'm ready for pool/beach time, amazing tans and cute bikinis!

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend.... or at least more exciting than mine! Be prepared for Instagram updates (if it looks ok) on how the floors are coming along! Wish me luck!!

  24. Ughhhhh why does her stuff have to be so expensive??? I literally love every single piece but the bathing suit line this Summer is killing it! I think I may have to splurge on at least a top! That bag is gorgeous but telling you from the ultimate bag lady over here......thick straps for sure.

  25. I am so ready for summer, sigh. I love that planner you got! I wish I needed one, lol. And I love that bag - I think you should for sure get that one :)

  26. I love TB, but she is so out of my budget, haha! And yes, one pot and under 30 minutes for a meal? That is the perfect dinner.
    Have a great weekend love!

  34. That pasta looks delicious. I love layered necklaces but have the hardest time doing it and making it look good. I just got a planner from Target too but it is nowhere near as cute as yours. jeal.

  36. That purse is gorgeous! I have a white and gold sugar paper planner that I am in love with! I hope yours is wonderful for you too!

    I really like the layered necklace look, but I always have a hard time layering my own. I think I need a few more pieces!!! Have a great weekend!

  37. LOVE the bag! I've got all sorts of diaper bag recommendations for ya.... HA! I really love Michael Kors bags! So many different size options! That's the bag I finally transitioned out of the diaper bag with! Smaller, but still big enough to hold all the extras I need when Mia's out with me (and perfect size for my camera when Mia's not with me!)

  38. How are you liking the Sun Rail? Aren't the Sugar Paper planners fabulous?! Plus you can't beat the price :)

    Ending the day with champs sounds like the best idea ever, count me in!

    Happy Friday gurlie, good luck with the floors <3

  39. You're right, Mara Hoffman has THE cutest patterned swimsuits and this one is too cute! And I got a Sugar Paper planner too- it's the white monthly/notes one that I just use for blogging and it's too cute! Hope you have a fab weekend :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Seriously! Mara Hoffman bathing suits always make me swoon! And love that bag! You should check out Cuyana though. I have a tote that I use for my laptop. It's sturdy enough and fashionable enough that it can be my work bag. I beat it up too, and it looks brand new! xo
