Friday Five - Stitch Fix Review

Happy Friday!  I'm looking forward to the weekend, how about you?  I decided to do my Friday Five around my Stitch Fix pieces that I received this week!

1. The first item I tried on was the Mapei V-Neck Blouse - $44. I loved the fun colors and the light-weight colors. And that it is a very versatile piece, and can be dressed up or down.

STATUS: KEEPING

 

2. Once my fix shipped, I cheated and googled all of the items before they were delivered. (You know you do this too!) This was a pretty popular dress so I found it instantly, the Lex Textured Floral Fit and Flare Dress - $74. I knew I would love the style of the dress, as I had a similar fit and flare style dress from my first fix. I loved the fit.

STATUS: KEEPING

3. The second top is the Edmondo Stud Detailed Split-Back Blouse - $38. I loved the color right away, a fun turquoise for the summer. I wasn't sure about the style, but the more I walked around in it, the more I liked it.  Plus the hubs really liked it, so it was a win! I forgot to take a picture of the back, which is the fun part..whoops!  It has the gold studs going down the back, and it splits at the bottom.

STATUS: KEEPING

4. Oh this jean jacket.  Morrie Boyfriend Denim Jacket - $58. I wanted to love you, and I am still unsure about this one. It's a very heavy jean jacket, which I'm not sure how much wear I will get out of it in Florida.  I don't see myself wearing it in the Spring/Summer. It fit, but it was a bit big at the shoulders and the arms.  You can see below how the sleeves come over my wrist. 

STATUS: UNDECIDED, BUT LEANING TOWARDS RETURN

5. The Marsha Bowler Satchel Bag - $68. I asked for a crossover type bag and my stylist delivered! It's a good size, but could have been a little bit smaller.  The color is a powder blue.  Again, this is one I am unsure about. I showed the pictures to my co-workers and they think it's a great color and to treat it like a neutral. 

STATUS: UNDECIDED, BUT LEANING TOWARDS KEEPING

 Not too bad for my second fix!  What do you all think?  Should I keep or return the items I am unsure about?

And to end it off on a really cute note, this little girl is having her first recital tomorrow!  Can't wait to see her dance her beautiful heart out! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend filled with great memories!

Five on Friday ~ Link Up

 

It's FRIDAY!!!! And a long weekend!  Today will be a smorgasbord of five things, because why not?

 

1. Today is national college colors day, are you wearing yours?

Go Gators!

2. We are getting our driveway pressure washed right now, I am so excited! We are also getting the exterior of the house painted as well as the interior. And let me tell you it has been so hard to pick the interior color. We don't have a lot of natural light in our living room, so the color needs to be light, but also go well with out fluorescent lighting. I wanted to go with a gray, it has been so difficult to pick a gray that doesn't lean towards blue, or purple or green! I have to give the colors to the painter today, I hope I picked a good one!

3. Here's a mock up of Kaitlyn's party invitation. I am making them myself, so they are free, and I have all of the materials on hand. I usually do them up in Photoshop, but I don't have my printer hooked up at home, and I have all of this scrapbook paper and what not, I figured might as well start using it.  I gotta get these out soon, the party is in 2 weeks from Sunday! Eeek!

4. We finally booked the hotel for my birthday beach trip. We are staying at the Marriott resort on Singer island on the east coast of Florida. Anyone been to Singer island? I need to research some other fun things for kids other than the beach.

Our room we booked!

The Beach - My Happy Place

5. It's labor day weekend, not sure what we are going to do! Might have a spur of the moment trip to Disney....gotta love being so close!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

5 things Friday - Link Up

For today's link up, I'm listing my top 5 apps/games that I use/play on my iPad mini.

1. Dragonvale

This game is a lot of fun. My sister in law got me hooked on it. Basically it's a game where you breed dragons. You can build them habitats and there are tons of different dragons, with so many different breeding combinations, so sometimes it takes forever to breed the one dragon you are looking for. Plus, they are constantly adding new dragons, so I am trying to breed every type of dragon! It's mindless, but I just HAVE to check on how my dragons are doing ALL. THE. TIME.

Love these little guys!

2. Candy Crush

I'm pretty sure most people have heard of this game, you either love it or hate it. Before I played it. I was in the hate group. "Why are my Facebook peeps sending me these stupid requests for a stupid game I don't play?" But once I made my first 3 in a row of a blue gumdrop, I was hooked! And now I am up to level 155.....and I need a key....anyone?anyone?ineedakeyrightnowlikemylifedependedonitGIVEMEAKEY!!!!!  You get the gist.

3. Bloglovin

Like this needs a description, but its how I keep up with reading all of my lovely blogs!

4. Pinterest

Now that I am in party planning mode, I have been pinning like crazy, all things mermaid and under the sea.

5. Disney's Winnie the Pooh Wonder & Wander

When Kaitlyn is on my pad, which is quite frequently, her go to app is this one. You can do puzzles, play songs, matching games, lots of fun stuff for her.  Keeps her entertained for quite a while, like 15 minutes or so, which is lovely.

What are some of your favorite apps or games you are in to right now?

5 on Friday - Link Up

This is my first time doing the 5 on Friday link up, so welcome everyone!

1. I've been blogging for 3 years, all be it sporadically.  I started this blog when I was pregnant with my first child, and now that I just had my second, I think it's a good thing to keep this blog up to date regularly as we continue on this journey called life!  Right now I'm on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to blog, let's hope I can keep it up once I go back to work full time!

2. We recently got a new roof and got a different color on our shingles.  And ever since, I have been itching to change the exterior color, it just doesn't go with the shingle color!  And I've never really liked the exterior color, but have just dealt with it.  I also want to paint our living and kitchen too.  The color is this weird color that changes from purpley-beige to green.....It's quite an awful color, but we have such high vaulted ceilings in there, that I've never wanted to paint it myself.  I think it might be time to bite the bullet and paint the exterior and interior of our house!

Need new exterior color, I'm thinking blue.....

3. I am ready for the cooler weather, thought I would never say that, I love me some hot summer in Florida.  But having a 7 week old, who really doesn't like the heat, it makes me want it to be cooler so he can enjoy being outside.  We went to Disney last weekend and it was just so hot that I couldn't enjoy it as much as we usually do, because I was worried the little bubba was overheating.  Bring on the cooler temps!

4. My favorite sweet treat right now is strawberries and cool whip, drizzled with chocolate sauce!  I like to think it's a little healthier than ice cream, so it's a win for me!

Yum!

5. Who's ready for some FOOTBALL?!?!?!  I am!  We are Gators and UCF Knights in this household!  Can't wait for some tailgating this year.  Woot Woot!!
