Five For Friday

 




Are you ready for Memorial Day? This week has been so busy at work, I'm more than ready for a three-day weekend! I plan to enjoy every single moment, get a lot of sun and relax! 


Today, I'll be sharing five of my favorite finds and thoughts. Enjoy! 




#1: By now, you all know that I love the Uscoop website and frequently pick up Today's Chase. If you haven't heard this yet, my friends at Uscoop recently launched an online boutique that features some of our favorite preppy designers. The new website is Tuckernuck, and brand offerings include Gretchen Scott, Castaway Clothing, Strong Boalt, Harding-Lane, Loren Hope, and many others. You simply must check out their website HERE - and note they are offering 20% off through Monday, May 28 using discount code "Memorial20" at checkout. 


#2: OK, I'll admit it...since I started working again, I now drink coffee every morning. I don't really know how it happened - I suppose after all these years, I just caved in to the pressure. My whole family loves their coffee, and now I've joined the fold. During a recent visit to Publix, I decided to try this new flavored coffee creamer from International Delight.  Try this in your morning coffee, and I promise you - it's worth the calories. And it really does taste just like an Almond Joy! But be warned: it's addictive. 


#3: In my house, there is a "gift closet". This is where I stockpile small gift items - stationery, photo frames, candles, notebooks, and other "grab and go" pieces. I always have a gift on hand for an impromptu occasions. The Jonathan Adler gift line by Lifeguard Press is a staple in my gift closet, and is currently featured as a sale boutique on One Kings Lane. I LOVE the Chevron prints, it's one of my favorites. Time to stock up! (you can join One Kings Lane for free HERE). 
#4: Why in the world did Lorac discontinue their popular Lip Polish? "Bliss" is one of my favorite lip glosses of all time, and I stockpiled it forever. Now it is no more, I cannot find it anywhere. I feel like hopping on a plane and letting Carol Shaw know how upset I am about this! Do you know where to find this product? If so, please let me know! 

#5: I'll take one of these Fornash Derby Collection Bracelets in each color, thank you very much. I have this bracelet in black and wear it to work at least two days a week. It is great for layering with other bracelets (looks wonderful with stacks of pearls). I have to admit, I'm totally obsessed with any horse bit design. I'll be waiting on these babies to go on sale somewhere...


What do you think about my Five For Friday? Hope you have a wonderful day!

My Visit With Caroline Grace Jewelry

Image
Happy Tuesday, Shopaholics! Thanks so much for all your kind words and comments after my last blog post. Admittedly I was feeling a wee bit sorry for myself and a little unloved. You know I'm not normally one to be "down" on anything - least of all myself! Your support means the world to me, and I really appreciate you all caring about my life - even when I'm not shopping. LOL Do you remember me being excited about getting tickets to the Bon Jovi concert here at the beach? I managed to talk my friend Lucy over at Caroline Grace Jewelry into coming down for the concert and to spend the weekend.  It was the first time we'd met in person, although we were already big buddies on Twitter, Facebook, etc. DH was calling her a "computer friend"; so thankfully she came down and proved to him she was a "real friend". We started the weekend by getting fresh pedicures on Friday morning: Then, we went down to the public beach for the concert. We tai

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Testing The Waters

***Y'all who were reading before - you know I am HONEST to a fault. This post contains my honest feelings and is not censored. If you came here today to get cheered up or motivated, I apologize in advance. You might want to tune in another day!*** A big hello to you all! Wow - I can't believe it has been four years since I was involved in blogging. I have often wondered "is it time to revive the blog" over this time...and after some encouragement from long time readers and friends, I have decided to test the waters!  It feels so strange - I don't even know if folks read blogs anymore! I know that most blogging happens on platforms such as Instagram, which in my mind is for pictures more than content. And heck let's face it, most days I don't even put on makeup or fix my hair, so that will NOT work for this chick. HA! If you're still around and want to read my ramblings, this is the place for you. 😀 The last time I blogged I was so focused on
