five on friday

I told you I’d be getting back to regularly scheduled programming this year… I cannot thank you guys enough for all the kind words, sentiments and comments on Wednesday’s post. It’s encouraging to know that even after so long, you’re still wanting to know the personal facets that encompass my life and you love to see the girls growing and what our family has been up to. So, all that to say, THANK YOU friends!

Ok, like I mentioned… let’s get back to some of the staple posts you all know and love. Case in point: Five on Friday. Today, I am linking up with my long-time loves April and Christina for a round of five [sometimes completely random] things I’m thinking about today!

One. Addicted to Romwe

I’ve shared how to shop e-commerce sites like Romwe previously in a post HERE, but I have been clicking order with them a lot more recently and I’ve been pleasantly surprised about the quality, the fabrics, embroidered details and more for the price. Here are two recent favs I grabbed last week:

Velvet Tassel Embroidered Dress [runs TTS] | Leather Saddle Bag | Mamba Drop Earrings | Over the Knee Boots

Flower Embroidery Shift Dress [size up as it runs short!] | Pink Earrings | St Anne Spotted Tote | Black Sunnies

I also just scooped up a new Pink Layered Sweater and this Striped Sweater, which I’ll be sporting OH so soon because more winter weather has officially made its way to Nashville yet again!

Two. Podcast Love

I am TOTALLY late to join the bandwagon of Podcasts as I’ve just recently started listening to them while I’m in the car, but I would LOVE to hear some of your favorites worth subscribing to… especially if they involve parenting/motherhood, work/life balance, faith and family, entrepreneurship/business and blogging. Hit me up friends!!!

 

Three. Fresh Arrivals ON SALE at Loft

Did someone say new arrivals AND sale?? One of my favorite retailers is having a 40% off sale for all their new arrivals and I did a little stocking up the other day to celebrate… it’s never too early to start planning for spring ensembles because you can totally layer them up now, too. Here are a few of my favorites [with sizing details listed to help you shop easily]:

Purple Cozy Blouson Dress [runs TTS, now on sale for $32] | Gold Platform Sneakers [on sale for $42]

Smocked Tie Floral Blouse [runs TTS | on sale for $36] | Ombre Side Stripe Skinny Jeans [runs TTS with stretch]

Floriculture Blouse [runs small so size up, my fav purchase of the day AND just $36]

Cobalt Blue Embroidered Top [fun detail on bib with flowy sleeves… great for dressing up or down]

Neutral Lovers, this is for you… Soft Sweatshirt [size up on this one!] | Elastic Joggers… all 40% off!!

Dotted Swing Cami [can’t believe it’s only $19… runs a little big and boxy but great for layering… LOVE it]

Striped Rib Mix Sweater [TTS/so cute and comfy… wear it now or pair it with shorts in spring], just $33

Four. Winter Break is BACK

Just when I thought everyone was getting back on “schedule”, mother nature throws us for a loop and we are out for snow/freezing rain today… can’t lie, I’m excited for some more quality time at home with my little ladies for our now 4-day weekend [MLK day is on Monday]!! Just count on more hot cocoa and cookie baking = horrible for my diet, but good for the heart, extra movies with plenty of cuddles on the couch and game nights yet again. Linking up a few of our favorite go-to game options that we ALL love to play.

Hot Potato | Guess Who | Jenga | Old Maid | Operation | Clue Junior | Candy Land
