Five On Friday ... and TGIF.

It's time for another edition of Five on Friday and I do hope you'll join me in linking up! As a reminder, my sweet cohostesses Darci, Christina, and Natasha are currently on summer break from the link-up, but worry not -- they will be back :)

Remember, all you have to do is post about five things on your mind, add our logo (found at the bottom of this post), and join the party using the linky tools below. Easy, and a great way to find new blogs and be found.

Happy, happy, happy, happy Friday! I will be thrilled to turn on my out-of-office message today at 5:00pm on the dot. Next week is vacation week for us, and I could not be more excited! Time for some major R+R as we trade in our "mama and dada" hats for "April and Ian" hats. I know we will miss Camille like crazy, but we have been super excited for a little getaway to enjoy some great top-shelf liquor, errrrr I mean BOOKS.

(but seriously, I am geekily excited to claim this as my "official" vacation book)

Last night, Ian was out of town for work, so I decided to partake in my favorite single-gal behavior. I indulged in yummy Chinese takeout, had a few large pours of sauv blanc, and ate a pack of M+Ms (out of the freezer -- yum) while watching Real Housewives of NYC on demand. It rocked.

I mentioned recently that I used The Bouqs to send a few bouquets for Mothers Day. I ended up being able to see one of the arrangements in person when we visited my mom down at the lakehouse. Her pale yellow potted orchid was lovely! It had two stems, both bearing several blossoms, and we were all really impressed by the quality.

Non-sponsored opinion here -- I was wooed by their beautiful (and not overwhelmingly large) collection and the straightforward, "no hidden fees" policy. One thing that really irks me about typical flower delivery companies is that the $29.99 bouquet you click on ends up costing you $58 by the time it's said and done. Right?! So that is what won me over. One price. No extra fees. Streamlined and simple.

Make sure to check out their lovely new peony collection ... stunning.

I also would love to be the lucky recipient of these pink tea roses. HINT HINT HUSBAND

If you are in the market for beautiful flowers to be delivered to someone special (or yourself, I mean why not?!), you can use this invitation link to earn a free bouquet worth $40 with your first purchase!

Sale alert -- the striped dress I wore for Camille's party is on sale (here)! I just adore this dress and was so comfortable all day in it. Depending on the color you choose, it's currently only $20 or $25. It is also a great work dress with a cardigan over it. I have worn a kelly green cardi over my pink and white striped dress and it's a really cute look. Gotta love a dress you can throw in the washing machine and dryer, too. Ain't nobody got time for dry cleaning.

Finally, just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time at a get-together at Kendra Scott at South Park Mall the other night! I was able to pick up some gorgeous earrings for our upcoming vacation...

I went with the mother of pearl earrings after much debate. The color is lovely, and I like that they will go with so many outfits! I chose the Danielle style which is the larger version.

LOVE. THEM.



TGIF y'all, and hope you will join in on Five on Friday this week! Cheers to the weekend!
