Five on Friday


Another week has come and gone. Where is the time going? Seriously, September is on it's way out and soon enough it'll be Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I am that person that starts decorating in November, much to James' dismay - but where has the year gone!? 

Well I'll back track a couple holidays to Halloween. I was at the store the other day, and my decorating self went into overdrive. I'm realizing a few days later now, I have to reign it all in, but be on the look out soon for all about our Halloween decorating. I got it narrowed down to a few different ideas. 

But back to Christmas... Anyone else getting that bug to bring out the tree and start decorating and playing the Christmas music? I've been trying so hard to be good about it and I am beginning to fail miserably. If the basement wasn't so scary you can bet this girl would have all the Christmas stuff in the apartment already.

Let me go ahead and get into the week's Five on Friday now and stop outing my Christmas addiction hehehe



I got a few new OPI colors from my Mom last month and have waiting not so patiently for Fall, so I could start wearing them. I am in love with the show Scandal, no spoilers still catching up, and was so excited for the Olivia Pope Collection!!! I mean seriously her wardrobe is perfection so of course the colors would be bold but classy, just like Miss Pope. All this week I have been rocking CIA - Color Is Awesome.



Have I mentioned my obsession with Lush Cosmetics? I just adore this place and their bath bombs. I look forward to throwing one in my tub at the end of every week. It is the best way to relax. Everyone seriously needs to check them out. They leave your skin so soft, luminescent, and the perfumed aroma last on your skin all day and night - not to mention throughout your house too. Best of all, all the products are vegan so of course no harmed animals in testing.


I mentioned last week how I did a little Fall shopping - still want to get a few more things. This week I got to wear both my new outfits!!! I love getting to wear new outfits. It instantly makes any day a thousand times better. Since I loved them so much, here is one of them - the second I totally spaced on getting a picture of, next time for sure:


My blazer is from Express, I bought it almost two years ago, at an after Christmas Sale.

The blouse is from Hollister and is the pretty shade of blue. It reminds me of a modern day Belle, so of course I had to buy it.

Jeans - I love them so much and worth all the hunting - are also from Hollister. I am making another trip to grab a second pair for winter. I owe it all to Devin too. I pretty much gave up and said I would wait till I made a trip home, and she handed me this pair and said just try it on and see.
 Thank you Devin!!!

I have been seeing book recommendations everywhere based on this show/book. Any readers/watchers out there? It sounds interesting and I am wondering if I should add one or both to the massive list of TV shows and books I have to watch and read.


Meanwhile on the topic of TV, DWTS is back on and I am obsessed. I cannot decide who I love more. Obviously Val and Laurie are so cute and I mean it is Val - come on he's gorgeous and talented, but can we just talk about Jena Kramer for a second? Week one's dance was so hot and intense!!! I LOVED it. It is going to be so hard picking a favorite for sure this season. Laurie is adorable and so good, but I don't know... Any other ballroom fans out there? Who is your favorite this season?

    1. Right!? I don't know what it is, but new outfits are the best. I LOVE this color. I'm almost tempted to keep it another week, but I have two other new colors I want to try... Thanks for stopping by and commenting :) Have a great weekend and enjoy the nail salon.

  4. I cannot recommend the Outlander series enough. I read them before they ever became a show and honestly the show does the book justice as well, which rarely ever happens in my opinion. However, you are going to need to put A LOT of time aside for these books, they are EPIC, like Lord of the Rings a 1000 pages for each EPIC, so keep that in mind before you start. However they are beautifully written and the storyline goes quick, so definitely worth the read...the audible versions are just as great too!

    1. I will have to add both to my list then. Books and TV series. I'm looking forward to reading/watching. Thank you so much for commenting and telling me about it. I'm always on the hunt for good books and new shows. Have a great weekend :)

  7. Oh, I'm a HUGE Outlander fan! I have listened to the first book two times and I've watched both seasons of the Starz tv series (multiple times). I have Dragonfly in Amber on audiobook, but haven't listened to it yet (it's close to 40 hours long or something like that and I'm just having a hard time committing that much time to one book right now). I've enjoyed the book and the series bc Jamie and Claire's story is more than just romance. Don't get me wrong - it's a HOT romance, but their story involves such an intriguing plot line, too. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I would recommend it. Hope you like it if you decide to get it a go! Have a great weekend!
