Friday Five

Time sure flies when you are having fun! I feel like I have not posted a "Friday Five" in ages since I took a break last week so here goes:

1. Bath and Body Works Candles and Holders

I LOVE the pineapple candle holders at BBW right now. The "floral" candles collection is also my favorite collection of the year. Flower Shop is my all time favorite scent, but Spring and Pink Tulip closely follow.


2. Colored Denim

Bright colored denim is all the rage right now. I am searching high and low for a mint green pair like that seen above (it is from GapKids). I have come up empty handed at Forever 21 and H&M where I was told to go and regular Gap and Old Navy left me with nothing too. Do you have a suggestion?


3. Bunny Chair Covers

Ha, these are a hoot! I mean for $1 each they would be funny to have out on Easter morning or for a Spring soiree. Perfect for those of you with little ones too.


4. H&M Sweater

This looks JUST like the Lilly Pulitzer Bette Cardigan, but costs 1/6. For $25 this darling little thing is sure to be flying off the racks, in fact my size was already sold out!

5. Last Two Birthday Fun Facts

I totally forgot to post fact 26 and 27 on Monday so here you go!

26. One of my biggest pet peeves is un-ironed tablecloths. It just kills me (and your tablescape for that matter). I know it is super, super petty, but I as you know I like things crisp and fresh.

27. One of my very best friends, BFF N, moved to Jacksonville in 1st grade. She actually took my place at school and then both our families went to Sea Island at the same time every summer, but we REFUSED to speak to one another all those years though. It was not until we were 18 that we finally decided we could talk and the rest is history. Moral of the story: always be talkative and outgoing, you never know what you might be missing!

Funny story - I made my first two H&M purchases this week...that sweater in pink and also in navy. ;) Have a great weekend!

Erin said...

Completely random, but I was reading another blog post and she mentioned mint jeans, and where to find them. Hope this helps! http://myhereandnowlife.blogspot.com/2012/02/mint-to-be.html

Happy Friday!

I haven't seen the white pineapple candle holder - only the yellow which I didn't care for.

Gloria Vanderbilt at Kohls has mint green denim in two different mint shades a lighter and a little dark they are gorgeous! xo

Check Delias for colored denim. I just ordered a few pairs from their catalog, they had a great selection of colors! xo, LP

Tonya said...

I am pretty sure that the BCBG section at my local Dillard's had some mint skinny jeans yesterday! Might be another store/brand to check :) I love colored jeans!

Leslie said...

I love that H & M sweater; I think I need to go check them out soon!

Suburban Princess said...

Oh my gosh I have the same pet peeve...when I see people posting their tablescapes and they put so much love and effort into them...but dont iron the tablecloth, it makes me wonder what they were thinking!

Meg in DC said...

Boden has a pair of mint green skinny jeans. They looks back-ordered but still available.http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Trousers-Jeans/Jeans/WC096/Womens-Skinny-Jeans.html?NavGroupID=19

OK I am SO glad to know I am now the only one who is totally annoyed by unironed table linens. I think my wedding florist started to hate me because of the number of times I called/emailed/texted him to remind him that the linens MUST be ironed. Seeing the fold creases in otherwise beautiful wedding/party pics? KILLS me!!!!

Where did you find the Bunny Chair covers?

CMC said...

Melissa said...

For coloured denim, check out shopmamie.com. Those ladies are always getting new items in. And I bet if you contact them directly, they might be able to find something for you- even if it's not listed on their website. Good luck!

I happened to see mint skinny jeans at Madewell today. They are a bit pricey at $110, though!

An ad for Lord & Taylor that came in my mail over the weekend showed a mint green pair of jeans. I can't remember the brand, but I think they were $80.

Kappa Prep said...

The chair covers are from Dollar Tree!

I am so excited that we are getting an H&M here in Houston very soon! I have been jealous of Dallas for so long. Now I can get those deals too!
