Five Things

Happy happy happy Friday, folks! Here are five things rockin' this merrymaker's world today. ONE: I am planning a Great Gatsby themed bachelorette party for my little sister and we are SO excited about it! The deets are hush hush, naturally... but I love researching ideas!

TWO: 

 One of my nearest and dearest is taking me with her to see MEMPHIS at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis tomorrow! I am so excited because I am such a theatre fan, plus when a musical is based on your hometown it's always a good thing :)

THREE: The current sale on ASOS.com is seriously blowing my mind.  Really makes me wish I had not lost my debit card over the weekend, it has been the longest 7-10 business days of my life. How PERFECT would this dress be for the Great Gatsby party?!

FOUR:

 My new Netflix obsession, Hemlock Grove, is super duper grody at times... but it is a pretty decent tradeoff for the eye candy!

FIVE: 

This recipe for a Thai Shrimp Salad from Bev Cooks is making me superrrrrr hungry right now.  I may be hitting up the store this weekend to make this delicious dish on Sunday afternoon!

So what are my little chickens up to this weekend? Please do share. What things are rockin' your world, loves? Have the best weekend ever, enjoy a cocktail or two and be sure to hug the ones whom you love.

Five Things Friday

Happy March!  Now, come on Spring Break... get here PRONTO! Here are five things I am loving today!
Drinking And Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders I am loving the tragic car wreck that is this book!  Do yourself a favor and grab your kindle and a glass of wine and devour this easy read!

ASOS Curve Shift Dress in Animal Print I have been toying with buying this dress for over a week now! It is a great style, print, and color.  The best news came Tuesday when Gwynnie Bee added it to the inventory!  I can rent it before I buy it.  Check out more Gwynnie Bee fabulousness here, here, here, oh and here.

Embryolisse Lait- Creme Concetre (24-Hour Miracle Cream) I got this great goodness in my October Birchbox, but did not get around to using it until recently and I. LOVE. IT.  It soothes this ridiculously dry face skin I have to deal with until winter decides to leave me alone.

The Minty Dog Cocktail

I have acquired a newfound affinity for gin and grapefruit juice lately!  Adding a tad of mint sugar and giving it a fancy name just makes it more fun!

(Gin, Grapefruit, & Mint Sugar)

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Sea Salt Texturizing Spray

I am testing out this product for Influenster and I love the way it adds a unique hold to my hair.  Adding some dry shampoo and NYM spray helps give me great hair on day 2 AND 3 after shampooing! Woohoo!

Books, booze, and good beauty products are a guaranteed merrymaking combination. It's definitely the best way to relax this Friday!  What are you chickens getting in to this weekend?

Five Things

HELLO! Just wanted to drop in with a little update.  I actually had a OOTD photo shoot done, but there's a little camera issue.  As in, I can't find it sooooooooo. Here's a little glimpse in to my summer! Things I have been looking forward to, things I have been doing! Lots of merrymaking, my little chickens.

1. First of all, I am taking the end of the week off and going to ATL for an Aerosmith concert! I was raised listening to them and my mother instilled a deep, deep love in all of us.  Plus, last time we saw them- Steven Tyler held my sister during one song.  It was a big deal.  HUGE!

 2.  Phase 10! I do not know if you chickens are familiar with this addicting and competitive game, but it's pretty much a daily thing for me.  I work at a summer camp, okay? No judging.  We even took it to the bar.

3.  WEDDINGS! Summer time is just busting at the seams with people vowing their lives together.  One down, three to go!That being said, I've never met a wedding reception that I didn't like! Mazel tov!

4. BIG BROTHER! It is my favorite show of the summer.  I don't know if you watch it or not, but it is the perfect mix of The Real World and Survivor that keeps me glued to the TV three times a week.  I don't know who my favorites are right now, it is too early in the game... Give it a shot, you won't be bored!

(via)
5.  The Lumineers.  I might be late to the game, and I usually am.  BUT I AM OBSESSED! This CD is constantly on repeat on my iPhone, in my car, evvvveeerrryyyywwhhhheeerrrreee.

(via)
So pray tell, what is on your top 5 list?  Anything you want to share, please do.Hope you are staying cool and having a good summer!

FIVE THINGS FRIDAY

Coincidentally, looking back over the five things I chose today... do you see a pattern here?A happy accident.  Happy Friday!

Will someone make me these cookies and ship them to me? Okay, thanks.
Looking forward to a smoothie/juice date with sister #1 today for lunch at Cosmic Coconut.

This necklace from etsy is like a dream come true, and if I wasn't saving up to buy a car I would snatch it up and wear it everyday.

viaI saw this pin on Pinterest last night and it made me laugh so hard, I don't know why.

The Zoe Report delivered these lovelies to my inbox this morning, making me gasp with fascination and also puzzlement because I will (probably) never spend $1695 on shoes.  But if I were- these are them.

YSL Cardinal Suede Moccasins in Mint.

FIVE THINGS FRIDAY

Well, we made it.  I consider this Friday a pretty big feat because it is the last day of the semester before CHRISTMAS BREAK!  Making it through a Christmas program, a class party, and a pagaent with my pre-schoolers is definitely deserving of a few weeks off, right? That's what I thought.

Here are five things that I love this week:

Love the idea of butcher paper and stamping a name.

My secret santa from work was super lovely and got me many shiny accessories, but also this cupcake container.

Perfect for taking a Muddy's cupcake back to work with me :)

At my second work holiday party, I drank this champagne and it was delicious.

A dream under my Christmas tree? This YSL serpent bracelet.

from Net-a-porter.

This mix of color and pattern.

Hope you all have a marvelous weekend.

See ya here on Monday, and I'll try not to brag about me not having to go to work and such.

I said I'll try.

FIVE THINGS FRIDAY

The holiday season is drawing close... we all feel that, right?Well if you haven't felt it allow me to share with you that IT IS!I know this because it takes me 15 minutes to scrap ice of my car windows in the morning.It takes me foreeeeevvvvveeeerrrrrr to get my kids to stop talking in class about their elves on the shelves.(Snowflake was making snow angels in the flour on the counter!!!!! MINE was baking cookies!)And the few glasses of wine a week have become even more festive when enjoyed out of my holiday stemware.Here are five more things that are bringing the merriment:

Pinned here, so obviously describes me during the holiday season.

This amazing flatware.

This skirt that I bought, but I still can't get my hair to do that. (!!!!)

The most amazing shoes ever made.

Love it.

Have a good weekend, my little chickens.

I totally did not plan ahead this week for Friend Friday.It might have been the two massive exams & history report I did in the last three days.So, as I am not at all prepared, here is a little spontaneous merrymaking.
These shoes I bought at Urban Outfitters! (We just got one, yesterday.)I got them from the boys section :) ! I loved them so much and they're the most comfortable shoes EVER!



I got these shorts in charcoal-- and I am going to go back and get ALL OF THEM!For someone who is outside all day in the summer, these shorts are comfy and stylish.Looking forward to pairing them with a white tunic and espadrille wedges.

THIS song.  I am a new lover of Mumford & Sons. I can't stop playing this song (The Cave) on repeat.Lovely.

THIS nail polish.  It's so pink, it looks like Barbie threw up on my nails (too graphic?) but...I love it.

Essie: PANSY

And I am loving the always delicious- whiskey sour!

I am planning on having a couple this weekend as I celebrate this busy academic week being over.

CHEERS!

whiskey sour

Have a great weekend y'all!
