Five on Friday (1/9)

Yay for Friday!  I hope your week has been great and that you all stayed warm.  We've had a busy week.  I've been trying to purge a lot and organize a little and somehow we found ourselves with a couple of fun house projects on our hands which is exciting - more on that next week.

As usual, I'm sharing my favorite things from this week... and I have to share, I'm writing this in bed with BOTH kids still sleeping and it's the first night no one came into my bed - heaven I tell you!

On with the five:

one: Pixi Fairy Dust - I got this from my Ipsy bag a month ago, and I'm in love with this product.  It's this thin powder that can be used on the eyes or cheeks for highlighting.  I have the brightening bare, which is slightly iridescent - I use it on my eyes almost everyday for my quick 5 minute makeup routine, and it lasts on me all day (I of course add concealer to my lid first so it has something to cling to).  Target sells it, so go get yourself one!


two:  Anyone else watching RHOBH and thinking that Brandi is getting to be SO annoying.  I mean, I always considered her to be slightly annoying - but she's taking it to a whole new level this season.  She is so inappropriate at all times and is really losing it!


three:  It may sound silly, but one of my goals this year is to get a watch.  I was never a watch person, mainly because my wrists are so small I didn't like the way the faces fit me, but I think I'm over that now.  So far, I love Michael Kors watches in gold, and of course my girl Kate Spade can do no wrong - I'm loving this one with an interchangeable band!


four:  Since we start off with cooler temperatures in the morning and they usually creep up to the 70's (sometimes 80's) it's all about layering so you're not too hot once the sun makes its debut.  This outfit is perfect, and just look at her arm candy - perfection!



five:  I saw this earlier in the week and it made me laugh - it's so me!



Have a great weekend everyone!! xoxo

I wish eating and drinking were both exercise! I'd be a full athlete! YES Brandi is so annoying this year! I don't know if she's trying to cause drama since there really isn't any this year but she's acting so immature.

Ugh Brandi is seriously getting annoying. Like hard to watch, annoying. Who thinks it's ok to throw wine in someone's face?! LOVE that KS watch on the left. You definitely need that in your life! :) Happy Friday

Nichole @ casadecrews.com said...

I serioulsy am in LUST over the Kate Spade watch! Happy Friday :)

Carly said...

YES to Brandy! It almost seems like the show is asking her to act like that, because it doesn't seem like anyone could really be that offensive and immature constantly! The Pixi Fairy Dust sounds amazing- I love illuminating products! Love the watches you picked out- and so jealous of your warmish temps! We were in Florida for a wedding last weekend and it was so nice!

Pink and Fabulous said...

If we worked out together that would be us ;) I have been eyeing that KS watch, mainly for the glitter band (heart eyes!) I have a super small wrist too, but I feel like a large faced watch actually looks flattering on a small wrist! You can't go wrong with an MK! I hope you have an awesome weekend and get more nights like that!!

Unknown said...

oh my word...I LOVE that kate spade watch...swoon for sure. happy weekend!

BLovedBoston said...

OMG that e-card is perfect for you LOL!! I love the KS watch and love even more that the bands are interchangeable!!! Hope you have a great weekend!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston

Lindsay @ Lovely Life Styling said...

I'm loving those watches!! Of course, I love everything kate spade :)

Katie @ yellowmangolife.blogspot.com said...

You definitely need that watch! I was the same way but got an MK one a few years back and I'm hooked. I love watches now. Just try a bunch to see what fits your tiny little wrist best =)

And cheers to the kiddos sleeping in for you...to have both of them sleeping in? That seems like a miracle!

Have a great wknd lady!

Kelly Elizabeth said...

Love the gorgeous Kate Spade Watch! So cute! Have a great weekend! :)

Kate at Green Fashionista said...

YES to drinking wine being a work out, I mean it's practically arm curls ;-)

I used to always be a big Brandi fan because she was so real, but this season is getting out of control. It was awkward just watching her in this week's episode :-P

Happy Friday gurlie!

Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} said...

I miss RHOBH so much! We don't get the channel anymore. :( Probably better for me I suppose.
Love that e-card. Perfection! Really curious about that Pixi Fairy Dust. Will definitely have to check it out.
Have a great weekend!!

Hahha I'm right there on that treadmill with you! Brandi is finally showing her true colors... or showing them louder than normal for sure. Over her especially after the "olive branch incident" hah. Happy weekend! And love the casual plaid look!

Becky M said...

I like Pixi products but haven't tried that - I may have to since you love it so much!

Katie Elizabeth said...

Both of those watches are gorgeous! I have super small wrists, too so I have a hard time finding ones that fit me - but Michael Kors always do! Can't wait to see what one you end up with. Happy Friday!

Marie said...

I always wear a watch. I feel naked without one. I have been wearing the same watch for about ten years now. Not really into them. I do love that Kate Spade one.
Brandi is getting so annoying, over her.

MakeMeUpMia said...

YES! Watching Brandi in this weeks episode was just uncomfortable, during the wine toss and the dinner party. Crazy! LOVE the watch, so pretty!

Ever Emma said...

I have baby wrists, so I totally know what you're saying when it comes to watches! It took me forever, but I finally found a watch that didn't look ridiculous at Kohls. I now wear it everywhere!

I need to catch up on RHOBH! That is probably one of my least favorite of the Housewives series, but Brandi always made me laugh. I'm bummed that she is being so annoying!

I have yet to try my pixi dust. I think you just talked me into it. I love those watches especially the Kate Spade watch.
Thank you so much for linking up to High Five for Friday!!!

Yes! Finally someone that's talking RHOBH! Brandi has annoyed me from day 1... But this season in particular she's just rubbing me the wrong way. Like she's trying too hard??

Congrats on everyone staying quiet for you! I always feel like the birds are singing more on days when I've had good sleep :)

Thank you SO MUCH for linking up with H54F! I hope we see you next week!!

Lisa Loves John said...

Girlfriend, we need to "work out" together... haha! That is SO me!

Caroline @ Windy City Chic said...

Sorry for the late comment on this post, I had some catching up to do!! Totally agree with you about Brandi. She is so annoying and acting crazy. Yolanda is my favorite. #5 is absolutely hilarious too!

Hall Around Texas said...

I’m going to have to try that Pixi dust. I’ve received a few of their products through Ipsy and have liked them pretty well.

Bright on a Budget said...

I've found so many great products through Ipsy--can't wait for this month's bag! Also, I'm not officially in love with that watch. Your're totally right that Kate Spade can do no wrong. Now if she can just folly Lilly and make my ultimate dreams of a Target collab come true, I'll be in heaven!

Thanks for joining us for H54F!!!

I love your outfit! And those watches are adorable. I've always wanted to get one too, then never do.

Thanks for linking up :)
