Five On Friday!

Happy, happy, happy Friday y'all!

I am back home in the grand ol' Queen City and boy, does that feel great. I am so sedentary when I go to hotels, I can't help it. Hotel fitness centers do not excite me at all (wish they did) so I find myself sitting cross-legged on the bed most of the time working on my laptop while getting sucked into Breaking Amish on TLC. So, now that I'm home, I'm so excited to get moving again and re-embrace an active lifestyle.

Per usual, I'm joining my favorite girlies for our Five On Friday link-up. Here we go!

Last weekend I went to the Southern Women's Show and sweet Madeline from Poppy Style was kind enough to share some tickets to the show with me! It was wonderful to finally meet her, and her jewelry is just awesome. I ended up purchasing this purple enamel bangle from her booth, which I know I will get a ton of wear out of, especially when cheering on the Furman Paladins or ECU Pirates. She keeps an online shop with tons of cute designs! The Rensford bracelet (here) is on my wishlist.

I had the best dinner the other night with my girlfriend Ashley. Boo for blurry pictures, but isn't that the most awkward situation when somebody takes a photo for you, and then you look at it and just don't have the heart to ask for another one? Regardless, we just had the best time chatting, chatting, chatting, and I could have spent even more time with her than I did.

This site has such cute ideas for non-traditional pumpkin decorating. You must check out the gold-leaf pumpkin ... and I sort of like the matte black version as well! I think a painted pumpkin is definitely in our future.

Two years ago, our local mall got a Vineyard Vines store and they invited local bloggers to come to the grand opening -- I wrote about it here. They gifted us with these cute 2-bottle wine totes, which I was crazy excited (geekily excited) about last night when I realized that it completely matched with my outfit for Supper Club. And YES I am still wearing my white shorts ... better believe it.

Deal alert! The Plaid Barn has these super cute pendants on sale today for $9.99. They come on an 18" chain (unassembled, but easy to put together with basic needle-nosed pliers). I'm about to order one now. They have nine colors to choose from, and while I love the tortoise, I already have a tortoise acrylic monogram on a shorter chain. I think for this one I'll go with white on a gold chain. These would make such cute holiday gifts too!

Now, your turn. I hope you'll join me along with Darci, Natasha, and Christina ... playing along is simple!  Just write a blog about five things on your mind today, anything goes really, post the logo below on your blog, and then enter your post address below in the link-up section.
