Friday Five

July 10, 2015 78 Comments

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week and have an even better weekend to look forward to. Josh and I are going to see The Minion Movie tonight! I can’t wait. I’m more than a little obsessed with them and may or may not already be planning out our Halloween costumes based on all the new Minion merchandise that’s coming out in time for the movie release. 😉 Here’s what else I’m loving this week:

Frid

1. My friend Hannah is getting married!! And I get to be in her wedding!! Ahh I’m so excited! (Can you tell?) I loved the way she asked us and thought it was so cute and creative. It’s amazing to me when I realize all that blogging has brought into my life. It’s how I met some of my very best friends!

Elizabeth and James Magdalena Dress

2. How perfect is this Elizabeth and James Dress? It’s on sale and might be one of my very favorite dresses ever. Unfortunately the sale price is still out of my price range, so I’m admiring from afar for now.

3. Josh surprised me with these gorgeous flowers when I got home from work on our anniversary, and every time I look at them I can’t help but smile. It has been a good two years.

4. If you are looking for a fun, juicy summer show to watch you have to check out UnReal! It’s a scripted series about life behind the cameras of reality TV. It’s provocative and shocking and I’m absolutely hooked.

5. I got a lot of compliments yesterday about my phone case and questions on where it’s from. It’s an Incipio DualPro case and I absolutely love it. While I love a cute looking phone case as much as the next girl, I need a case that has some substance to it and is going to protect my phone. This one has two layers of padding for extra shock absorption and has protected my phone from every single accident I’ve thrown its way. I didn’t link to the case in yesterday’s post because I cannot find this pattern for sale anywhere anymore. I originally bought it at the Verizon store when I was buying my iPhone 6 last winter after spotting it on the shelf and immediately falling in love with the design. This similar case is from the same line, super cute, and on sale!

    That’s such a cute bridesmaid invitation! I love E&J but the entire line is a little pricey… sometimes, I wait months, and if you go to the super-super-sale rack on the 5th floor at Bergdorf’s you can find a hidden gem. I think two years ago, I found an adorable Milly dress there in late August (it was a spring dress so clearly there for months) for about 25% of the original price.

    I love unreal too! I was hooked from the beginning and it’s getting SO juicy. Love it! I love that phone case and need a new one. I’m currently using a Mophie juice pack, which can charge your phone if you’re out, but it’s not cute at all!!

    TOTALLY seeing the minion movie! And I love the costume idea! 🙂 I’m loving that the weather this weekend is supposed to be nice! I can’t wait to work on my tan… it’s much needed. And I have the ugliest phone case ever… but after too many cracked screens and water damage I caved and bought the manliest black otterbox… as long as my phone never breaks it’s worth it (too bad it doesn’t fit in my favorite clutch haha)

    Just took the kids to see Inside Out. $60 for 3 kids and two adults! So…we probably won’t be seeing the minion movie in theaters because I can’t afford to take the kids again so soon. We’re definitely seeing it when it comes out on DVD!

      Did you love Inside Out? I thought it was so cute! And yes, I actually think it’s smart to wait to see Minions because while it was super cute it didn’t really have a plot.

    I met one of my closest friends through blogging too, like 8 years ago! (Yikes!) It’s so crazy to think that I very easily would not have crossed paths with this person, even she was like right around the corner from me, without blogging. Blogging is so much more than just fun posts and pretty pictures, isn’t it? 🙂 Happy Friday!
