Friday Five

Happy Friday ladies!!  It's gloomy here today BUT the weekend is supposed to be beautiful!!

1. I've always liked makeup but lately I have started to really get into it more.  I want to get better.  I need more products.  I found a new obsession, Jaclyn Hill.  You must check her out.  She recently did a tour of her beauty room, TO DIE FOR.  And because of her, I've already bought this, this, this, annnd this (for palettes).  I've always loved acrylic organizer pieces but seeing these in her video makes it so much easier to pull the trigger to buy them.

2. loving this "Aloha" bridal shower

3.  YUM!

4. new midi dress for summer

5. we are doing some things with our deck this year and I'm trying to convince the hubs to add this to the list! 

Have a great weekend!!

Happy Friday ladiessss (and maybe gents)!!  I'm so glad it's the weekend, per usual.  I'm hoping to do a little spring cleaning and of course relax  What're you up to? 

1.  I DIYed a forsythia wreath last weekend much like this one, but I think next up with be this beauty for Summer. 

2. I spent way to much at Express last night, I couldn't help myself.  Loving their ankle pants this year, perfect for my 9-5 desk job (I may grab a few more!)

2. I just picked these beauties up last night and obsessed is not even the word.  Cannot wait to wear them!

3. loving this planter basket DIY and splatter napkins.

4. If you're on a time crunch and need the perfect photo (for free!) for your blog post, look no further.

Happy Dance, it's Friday!!

That's how I feel about Friday this week, how about you?!  This week didn't drag but I felt busy, hence the lack of posting and I've been anxious to hopefully make some headway on a bridal shower I'm planning (procrastination should be my middle name).

Friday Five:

1. loving this floral monogram DIY.  Perfect for Spring and maybe a bridal shower =)

2. picked up this polkadot pencil skirt last week and I can't wait to style it!

3. This cartoon of a real life love story will definitely get you choked up! Definitely a must watch.

4. This is my new favorite beauty product!  love it!

5. I always wonder when I see (and usually miss!) "National Pancake Day" or "National Doughnut Day" where they came from and are there more?!  I'm still trying to find out where they come from but over at Reasons to Skip the Housework you can download a free printable that lists all of April's bizarre holidays so you're sure not to miss one again!  I'm interested in April 12th, 29th and 30th!  yum!  Which ones would you want to participate in?

And I'm going to add a weekly Friday Funny to my Friday Five because why not?  Everyone loves to laugh.  This week we're talkin margaritas =)

Have a great weekend!!

Weekend & Gift Guides

Happy Mondayyyy!!  It definitely feels like a Monday today.

Anyways, before I get to my His & Hers Valentine's Gift Guides I wanted to share my two outfits from this weekend for those that don't follow me on Instagram.  Both pretty simple and casual.  I think what sets me apart from other fashion bloggers is that my style tends to be more casual (read: not a lot of heels) but I still think I'm fashionable.  Right?!  I will say that my style tends to be more casual in the colder months and I think it's because I very much dislike being cold so come spring/summer you will see a bit dressier outfits from me and no sneakers :)  Dreaming already!!

GAP sweater (old)//Express scarf (old)//black converse//Express jeans//MK watch

Express jeans//Sperry shoes//GAP scarf (old)//GAP tank//GAP Factory jacket (old)//H&M blazer (old)

I wore the jacket on the left but originally had the blazer on (love elbow patches!).  I liked both ways so I figured I'd share.  We were going to a hockey game so I thought the cargo jacket was a bit more appropriate.  I wear more sneakers on the weekends vs. flats because they are easier to maneuver around in the snow.  If I'm not wearing sneakers, it's boots.

Onto gift guides - I tried to choose items that weren't a bit less typical as I'm not a huge gift giver on this holiday in the sense of money.  I prefer date night at home or more meaningful, homemade gifts.  Enjoy!
