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:
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!
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!
Questions of the Day: What are you loving this Friday? Got a cute phone case? Show me! Are you planning on seeing The Minion Movie?

Erin says
Aw thanks Jessica! I’m super lucky to have her as a friend too!
Helen @ Hel on Heels says
I saw that adorable picture on Instagram! What a cute way to ask someone to be your bridesmaid.
Erin says
I thought it was the sweetest surprise!!
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
Just so you know, that Elizabeth & James dress is on Rent the Runway if you just wanna wear it for a special occasion. I have my eye on it as well : )
Erin says
Ahh that is good to know! I wonder if they ever sell it after they rent it for a while? I want to wear that dress all the time!
Joanna @Makingmine says
You NEED that dress – so super cute!
And YAY weddings!!! I am so so so excited!!!
Erin says
It is a gorgeous dress, but Josh would murder me if I spent $300 on it! And I wouldn’t blame him! haha
Alyssa @ RenaissanceRunnerGirl says
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.
Erin says
I wish I had a Bergdorf’s near me! I want that dress so badly!! Way to go on your Milly find!
Gretchen | Gretchruns says
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!!
Erin says
Did you love last night’s episode? Ahh I can’t wait til next week!!
Bri says
What a cute idea for the bridesmaid invite! Also love that iPhone case 🙂
Happy Friday!
Erin says
I love this phone case so much! It protects my phone from all the abuse I throw its way!
Brie @ Lean, Clean, & Brie says
Ahh I want to see the Minion movie so bad! I love Despicable Me!!
Erin says
The Minion movie was super cute but not as good as Despicable Me. I was a little bummed but still had a great time!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Those flowers are so gorgeous!! I am obviously MOST excited about #1 though. Seriously, where would we be in our social lives if it were not from blogging?!?
Erin says
Right?! haha My life would be so boring!
May says
Ahh, I’m loving all these things, and a huuugggeee congratulations to Hannah; it’s so great what blogging can do to our lives, huh? Also, squealing a little at your bouquet and that dress!
May | THE MAYDEN
Erin says
Thanks May! I’m so excited for Hannah too! She is going to be a gorgeous bride!
Natalie says
Those invitations are so stinking adorable and I absolutely love the phone case! So pretty!
Erin says
I’m obsessed with my phone case! And the fact that it protects my phone from all the abuse I throw its way!
Emma says
Everything you post is just so lovely to look at! I love all of your choices. 🙂

Erin says
Aww thank you Emma! That is super sweet of you! 🙂
Natalie says
I love your friend’s bridemaid “proposal”! I really like when bridesmaid gifts can be used again later and hair ties are such a cute idea.
Erin says
Yes! Such a sweet surprise that will always make me think of her!
Jamie says
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)
Erin says
I have heard so many good things about the Otterbox! I just wish they made a slimmer profile case!
Alyssa @ Good. Simple. says
I love all of these things! And I’m particularly intrigued by UnReal. I hadn’t heard of it before, but I will definitely be checking it out. I look forward to following your blog!
Erin says
Aw thanks for stopping by Alyssa! UnReal is amazing! I hope you love it!
Siniciliya says
Such a beautiful post!
Erin says
Thank you! 🙂
Kian says
I love the idea of doing a weekly favorites blog post, I might have to borrow the idea! 🙂 Also great how you covered multiple categories of favorites. I have been looking for a new show to watch as well so maybe I’ll check out UnReal.
Erin says
Aw I’m glad you enjoyed it Kian! I’m looking forward to reading yours! And yes, UnReal is amazing! I definitely recommend checking it out!
Liz says
Congrats on being a bridesmaid 🙂 Love those cute hairties and that phone case! My mom has the same one and I always envy it!
Erin says
Thanks Liz! I’m so excited to be a bridesmaid! And I love my phone case so much!
Emily says
Great post. I love the idea of giving those hair ties to ask people to be a part of a wedding; so unique and cute!
Erin says
It was such a fun surprise!
Brittany Hall says
That bridesmaid card is toooooo cute!
Erin says
I thought it was the sweetest surprise!
Jenny says
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!
Erin says
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.
Chardae says
I love how your friend asked you to be in her wedding, very creative! Congrats on your anniversary!
Erin says
Thanks Chardae! It has been two great years!
Jess says
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!
Erin says
It really is Jess! Blogging has truly changed my life! I couldn’t imagine not having this blog! It’s one of my biggest passions!
Leana Jay says
Im actually planning on watching the Minons this weekend too. Talking bout phone cases, I need a new one too.
Erin says
I love my phone case! It has handled all my abuse and still kept my phone safe!
Molly says
Those hair ties are so cute! I love the gray and white dress, it’s perfect for summer.
Molly and Stacie
Erin says
Isn’t it gorgeous?! I just need it to go cheaper in price!
Christine says
Can’t wait to see the Minion movie! And that dress is gorgeous, hopefully it will drop in price enough so you can buy it.
Erin says
I’m crossing my fingers it does! It’s SO pretty!
Kristen says
What an adorable way to be asked to be a bridesmaid! I’ve been in a few weddings, but all my friends just asked me over the phone haha.
I’ve also been wanting to watch Unreal! Thanks for linking it up, I didn’t know the episodes were online!
Erin says
Oh man it is such a good show! Last night’s episode was crazy!
Melanie says
That is such a cute way to ask!!! I just love it!
Melanie @ meandmr.com
Erin says
Me too! It was such a special surprise!
annabelt @ geeks diet says
Beautiful flowers! Hope the Minions movie is good – my youngest is a huge fan of minions and I can’t wait to take them to it!
Erin says
The minion movie was really cute! And thanks, Josh did well when he picked out these flowers! 😀
Fur Everywhere says
The dress is super cute, and I have to check out the new show! It sounds like something I might enjoy.
Erin says
The show is great! Last night’s episode was crazy!
alishia says
love the flowers! So simple and elegant. 🙂
Erin says
I thought they were absolutely stunning! I love them!
Megan says
What a super cute idea for asking someone to be a bridesmaid! Josh did good with those flowers too 🙂 I need a new phone case SO bad. I got a clear one because I didn’t want to cover up the gold but it looks pretty awful now. I should probably look into something like that one!
Erin says
I love my phone case! It has stood up to a lot of falls and drops! haha
Claire says
That hair tie idea is so cute! If I wasn’t already married I would totally do that!
Erin says
Me too!! haha
Six Pack Mommy says
I can’t wait to take my kids to see the Minion movie- it looks really cute!
Erin says
It is super cute!
Tess says
I love that bridesmaid “card”. How did I not know about the show, Unreal?!? Going to watch it. Thanks!
Erin says
Oh it’s such a good show!! Last night’s episode was great!
Elizabetj says
How did you like the new movie?? Great post!
Erin says
I really liked it! It wasn’t as good as Despicable Me in my opinion, but still a fun, cute movie!
Jessica @ Semi-Sweet Tooth says
Oooh, Elizabeth & James, how you make me swoon! And I’m actually looking for a way to ask bridesmaids, so we may see this one in the cards again shortly. 🙂
Erin says
Ohh that’s so exciting!! I hope wedding planning is going well!
Nichole says
I LOVE those bridesmaid hair ties… they caught my eye immediately. So cute!
