Five on Friday: A Link-up!


What an exciting week it has been! The rain has somewhat dried up, I’ve been rocking some new clothes I picked up from the Blowing Rock outlets last weekend, one of my very best friends got engaged to an amazing guy, I celebrated the one year anniversary at my job and to top it all off, Matt and I are throwing a huge Fiesta this weekend! Whew, it doesn’t get any better than that! So now that I’ve pretty much spoiled half of my 5 things…


– ONE – At the end of Kristen’s wedding reception I was given permission to grab as many flowers as I possibly could carry to the car. I think I grabbed a total of 20 lavender hydrangea stems and a peony arrangement. After a full week, these flowers are still kickin! Here are a few of the many arrangements floating around my happy house.


I think I am going to dry them all so I can keep them forever.




 – TWO – My one year anniversary at my job kind of snuck up on me. I knew it was around the corner, but apparently Matt and his mom knew exactly when it was because I got not one but two sweet cards from them. In typical Matt fashion, he had to be all over-the-top wonderful and include a gift card to my favorite boutique which is conveniently a few doors down from my office. I guess time really does fly when you love what you do! And if you missed it, you can read all about my very first day of work {here}!



 – THREE – Earlier this week I made my weekly trip to Ulta, this time on a hunt for a new primer. I knew I was going to be torn between the Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer {$32} that April recommended {here} and Philosophy’s Supernatural Poreless Flawless SPF 15 Primer {$30} that my sister swears by. I use both product brands so the decision was very tough. As I studied the ingredients, compared reviews on my phone and played a game of eeny meeny miny moe, the cutest Ulta associate came over and asked if I needed help. The answer was definitely “YES!” I told her my debate and she immediately took me over to the Studio Gear section. What? Umm, no. I’ve never even heard of this brand! Between her incredible sales pitch {Ulta has been trying to get this
line in their stores forever, SG is Goldie Hawn’s preferred brand, products are huge on the West Coast, etc.}
and testing all 3 primers on the back of my hand, Studio Gear Prime Objective Skin Perfecting Face Primer {$30} was my winner. I have super dry skin and this primer has been fantastic for my face!




– FOUR – Kiwi Strawberry Sparkling Ice. Only $1 from Harris Teeter, aspartame-free, full of vitamins and antioxidants, zero calorie and delicious – I am so addicted to these sparkling waters and lemonades. All of the Sparkling Ice flavors are delicious, but I can’t get enough of this flavor {and Crisp Apple}! Laura recently blogged about the Pink Grapefruit flavor {here} as one of her favorite summer drinks too!




– FIVE – As I mentioned earlier, Matt and I are hosting a Fiesta tomorrow! I’ve been working on lots of little DIY crafts for months so I am over-the-moon for the party weekend to finally be here! Of course I will fill you in picture by picture next week, but in the meantime I’ve created an inspiration board for the party!

P.S. Did you click on number 4? If not, you need to. My fellow link-up host, Darci, threw one of the best Fiestas I’ve ever seen {and I’ve seen a TON of fiestas on Pinterest}. I may be stealing half of her ideas for our party.

That Fiesta board is precious! Love all the bright colors!

Five on Friday: A Link-up!


 Hope you all are having a lovely Friday! I’ve got a great line-up for ya today…








– ONE – Boca Towel Clips
to keep your towel in place on the beach or at the pool. These cute lil
things are probably the greatest summer invention. Never again will I
have to worry about my towel sliding down my chair or blowing away at
the pool. 




You can find these {here}
at Bed Bath & Beyond in a variety of animals {fish, dolphin,
parrots, whales, etc.} and a set is only $5.99! I picked up two sets –
one for me and one for the seester!


  and Lindsey’s set…


– TWO – The WRAP UP by Sarah Potempa.
We all know how trendy the top knot is right now. There are pages after
pages of tutorials on Pinterest and racks of bun gadgets down every
beauty aisle. I think I’ve tried just about everything out there and
have decided the SP Wrap Up is my favorite.



For the past 6 months or so
it’s been my go-to top knot for work, the gym and going out. It takes
less than 3 minutes and looks awesome. After rocking the SP Wrap Up all weekend on vacation, my seester decided she wanted one too…

{the business bun}



 
Is she not the cutest?


{the gym bun}


 {the traveling bun}



 



The Wrap Up is $12, comes in 3 colors and you can find it {here}.


 



– THREE – My
newest veggie side dish obsession – roasted broccoli & cauliflower
topped with Parmesan cheese. Cheese topped anything is a favorite in my
book and this veggie dish is no exception!


The Best Broccoli & Cauliflower: Cut
1 medium head of cauliflower and 1 medium head of broccoli into
florets. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and
pepper. Roast in oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.






– FOUR – Someone please unsubscribe me from the J.Crew Factory sale emails. I can’t say no to free shipping and 50% off.




 Yellow Mini Skirt {on sale for $24.99}; Blue Seersucker Mini Skirt {on sale $26.55} and Pinball Stud Earrings {on sale $8.10}



 



– FIVE – I have a huge announcement…


After
almost 2 YEARS of sitting {unopened} in the attic, I finally pulled
down my sewing machine, opened it up and learned how to thread it! A
sweet wedding gift from my friends Brynn and Katrina, I am so excited to finally take on this new hobby! You can find my sewing project list {here}! Any tips you may have for a beginner are welcome!
