Friday Five
7/24/2015
Happy Friday my lovelies! We made it through yet another week! Which also means I am one week closer to my Charleston trip! I cannot believe that in two weeks I will be in Charleston at this very moment! We started planning this trip in March so even though it seems like it's super close it's actually been a long time coming! Linking up with my girl Amanda to share with you some of my Friday Favorites... most of which will be coming with me to Charleston! :)
1. Thanks to the gorgeous Zelle, I ran out and scooped up this maxi dress for my trip! It will be perfect for sightseeing and walking around exploring.
2. These heels! I asked for your opinion last week and finally decided on these beauties. I've worn them twice so far and they are SO comfy! I was worried they'd be big on my ankles (and they are, darn super tiny ankles) but they don't look bad so I decided to keep them.
3. Getting my hair done before our trip because let's be real people, the grays are out in full force right now, and as much as I LOVE my lighter bayalage ends... the bleach and heat has fried them. So I think to avoid having to cut my hair much shorter I'm going to skip the bleach and go back to my all brunette roots. Kendall's hair is gorgeous here so I'm thinking I might prep for fall a bit early and go a little darker.
4. I really really really wanted this romper for Charleston but 1. didn't think it would make it here on time and 2. didn't want to pay $58 for a romper so I went into Target to get above maxi dress and what do I find... these shorts! SO cute and less than $20!
5. Finally, I started reading this book this week at the recommendation of Kristen and so far I love it! I was going to wait to read it on the plane but now I just can't put it down! I have a feeling this one will be done this weekend since it's supposed to be rainy all weekend.
Hope everyone has a gorgeous weekend!

Those heels look amazing, so cool they are comfortable, too!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about that book, I used to read the Fug Girls' blog everyday. They are hilarious and the fashion they make fun of is super atrocious. I'll put that on my list with a star now!
Happy Friday, pretty!
Love all of your Charleston picks. There's nothing better than getting a fresh do before going on vacation!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that book but have seen it other places in blog world. Might have to add it to my list after your glowing recommendation.
I 100% thought that picture of Kendall was you!!! I can't wait to see how your hair turns out - that dress on you is just fabulous and can't wait to see it IRL!!! Have a wonderful weekend and one weekend closer to charleston!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI love balayage but it's damaging my ends too. My hair is so dark and just doesn't like to be lightened. I have been using Olaplex (great for color) and while it works well I still am not loving my hair at the moment. I can't wait to see what you do with yours. I bet you are so excited for your trip...that is so much fun. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the heels! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for snagging the dress! Perfect for a day in Charleston - can't wait to see it on you! And I'm with Biana -- definitely thought that Kyndall was you! Happy Friday, gal!

ReplyDeleteLove the sandals you went with, and I am glad they are comfortable because they are super cute. Have a great weekend!

Wooohooo for closer to CHS! Hoping I can make it workout to see y’all! That hair color would look great on you!
ReplyDeleteI have that book on my list to buy (once I finish the 3 I have started now haha) so I'm glad to see you like it! Have fun in Charleston! I've never been (but want to badly) so can't wait to see your pics.

So many great purchases lately! I'm loving them :) And you should definitely go darker on the hair - it will look great on you!
ReplyDeleteI have balayage too and the sun totally ruined it. I went little darker too off set it. I am loving my darker hair. I always go a little darker for fall. I am sure it will look amazing on you. Love those heels. Have a great weekend pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are fantastic - can't wait to see how you style them in Charleston! You ladies are going to have an amazing trip :)

i am heading back to a darker color too--i got my roots done yesterday and am slowly fading out the highlights. i gotta check out that book. i've heard the best things! happy weekend girlie!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your hair when you get it done!!
ReplyDeleteI totally thought that photo of Kendall Jenner was you at first! That hair color will look gorgeous on you. Loving that maxi dress, and that book also is on my reading list! Have a wonderful weekend, friend!
ReplyDeleteyahh! so excited for your trip! and keep us posted on how you like that book :) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteahhh i am so so glad you are loving that book! seriously, i want to wipe it from my memory so i can reread it hahaha.
ReplyDeletegirl i feel you on the greys! haha. and kendall is gorgeous, duh, but that colour is amazing. i kind of want it for myself. it's got like a reddish tint. or, that could be the filter lol.
that maxi is gorgeous and can't wait to see you rock it! have the best time in charleston!
Yay for two weeks to go! At first glance of that book I think I need to get that asap for my trip! Love your Charleston picks especially that maxi. It's funny when my friends and I went last summer for my Bachelorette party we we're packing purely to stay cool because it would be so hot down there but I'm guessing for you maybe it will be a little bit cooler than FL?!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds interesting even though Im not a reader...I think I'd enjoy that story...and always fun getting your hair done. I love the look you're going for! So pretty! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYay for the sandals!! They are SO cute. I love that maxi dress too. I did bayalage highlights for the first time back in April and I like them a lot. That book sounds interesting too, I'll have to check it out. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteOmg those heels and maxi are sooooo cute!!! You will get so Much wear out of them! I think you've convinced me that I need those shoes too lol! Since I'm in Florida I can wear them year round lol!!! Happy Friday!

I'd say you're ready for Charleston, lady! I can't believe it's so close away now!! Brunettes have more fun, anyways (and oh, the grays; I hear ya!). Happy weekend :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous maxi!! Love the shoes, too!

I love the dress and shoes!!! And that color is just fabulous! I need to get my hair done, I haven't been since December...oops!! I get lucky in the summer and the sun touches up my highlights for me and it seems to hide the few grays well. I will probably go darker too when I go. Close enough to fall! have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Royal We too and am LOVING it!!! I'm almost done and can barely put it down!! Also, FEEL. YOU. on the grays!! I really thought I might be the only person my age on the planet fighting them so hard core!!
ReplyDeleteI love that maxi! I can't believe it's from Target! I love the shorts too! So glad you got the shoes and they work. :) Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds so cute, I need to add it to my list! I love everything you picked out for your trip and am so glad you decided on the sandals, they are so cute! Can't wait to see your new hair!
ReplyDeleteLove Kendall's hair, it will definitely suit you well! That maxi is so cute too! Sounds better than a $58 romper! Hope you are having an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat maxi dress and those heels. Love!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your trip to Charleston! I'm loving that maxi that you were able to snag! Xo, Stephanie
