Five on Friday

Happy Friday Loves! 
Boy, what a week... My day job has kept me super busy this week finalizing the remodel on our Fredericksburg showroom. We are gearing up for a big event next week and buttoning up all the loose ends is a lot.of.work. I am thrilled with the process but exhausted, so I am going to keep this one short and sweet!

Per the usge, I am linking up with the ever so charming ladies who host Five on Fridays; April, Christina, Darci and Natasha

Here are five things that I am just loving this week.

{one}
J. Crew Factory Sale

50% off on your entire purchase was just too much for me to handle y'all. I was like a kid in a candy store. I honestly think at one point I had over 20 items in my cart... I wanted everything, in every color and then duplicates. I ended up going through my closet on Monday night to see what I actually needed vs. what I wanted and then placed my order on Tuesday... I would like to pat myself on the back for that move! Anywho, my order arrived on Thursday and I just love my purchases.  These three below were my absolute favorite finds and I cannot wait to style these beauties up!

Derby Days

via
It's race time in the South! No, not Nascar racing but Horse racing. OH.MY.WORDS. I just love a good horse race. Fox Fields, Strawberry Hill, Carolina Cup or the Kentucky Derby, I adore them all. I love the feel in the air, mint Juleps in hand, seersucker, Lily, hats and bow ties as far as the eye can see and it's deep rooted Southern traditions. Stay posted friends, we are chatting Derby next week and maybe even a Derby inspired giveaway! 
YAY!

The Mindy Project

This show makes me laugh out loud! I don't know why and my husband isn't a fan BUT I think Mindy is hilarious! The things that come out of her mouth are crazy, I often find myself saying "Did she really just say that?" I would also like to state for the record that if she and Danny don't get back together by the end of the season, I am out!
Anyone with me?

Adult Ballet
Yes, I am taking Adult ballet. No, there is not a recital you can attend. Yes, I wear a leotard and pink tights. No, I am not the oldest one in the class. These are my normal responses when I tell someone I am taking ballet again. It is great to be back in a studio again. This past Monday was my first real class (The last 5 weeks I have been in an intro class).... and it kicked my butt! These folks don't mess around. The teacher is the most energetic, beautiful, tinniest thing I have ever seen and does not slow down. I was tondue-ing and plie-ing all across the floor and loving every moment! But still pray for me on Monday's y'all!

  1. I had to stay away from the JCrew sale... because I would definitely not have narrowed it down to what I needed vs what I wanted and my bank account would have hated me. Looks like you found some great things though!

  4. I wish there was an adult ballet class around here! I miss it! I'll have to stick to barre for now. Super jealous you picked up those beauties from J. Crew, I forced myself not to buy anything and now I'm sad because I have like 10 things in the online cart. haha!

    1. You are better than me lady! I had buyer’s remorse until the package arrive at my doorstep... then I tried on all the clothes hoping that some things would not fit - no such luck.... Damn you J. Crew :) Just wait a couple days, I am sure J.Crew will have another fab sale - or call them! Their phone team is awesome. I have negotiated my way into a better discount before!

  10. I'm SO bummed I somehow missed the Factory sale..50% off!?! But my wallet thanks me for sure. Love what you picked. Have you ever been to J. Crew's warehouse sale in Lynchburg? You have to be in the mood to dig but you can find some great deals. Definitely worth a trip if you ever have time. Have a great weekend!
