Is it just me or was this the longest week ever? Maybe it was the first full week back to work after the holidays or the negative temperatures, but either way TGIF!! You would think living in the Midwest my entire life would have me ready for winter each year, but I don’t think anything will ever prepare me for the polar vortex we are having! Let’s just say I’ll be glad when I don’t have to wear two pairs of pants to work just to stay warm. Anyways, I have big plans to clean/organize each room in our condo from top to bottom this weekend and I am so ready to clean out and simplify our living space. Other than that, nothing on the agenda! Whatever you are up to, I hope you have a good weekend and stay warm!!
Here is today’s Friday Five:
ONE | Today is my mom and dad’s 33rd wedding anniversary! Wishing them a very happy anniversary! I love looking at their wedding picture – my mom is so beautiful! Hope you guys have a great day! Love you both!
TWO | I’m sure you’ve all heard by now but Target announced this week that their next designer collaboration is going to be with Lilly Pulitzer! The line is set to launch April 19th and will feature women’s apparel, accessories, and shoes as well as home decor in 15 exclusive prints. I’m really excited about this one!
THREE | In other fashion news, a sad story released this week is that C. Wonder will be closing all of their stores. My friend Kelly first introduced me to C. Wonder a couple of years ago and I fell in love with their store. All of their merchandise is 50% off so now is a good time shop before they are gone for good.
FOUR | I know a lot of you made a New Year’s resolution to read more books. I recently finished reading Eightysixed by Emily Belden and I highly recommend it! Emily writes about her dating adventures and finding love while living in Chicago as a post-college grad. It’s a quick, fun read and the stories she tells keep you engaged and entertained. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can borrow the book for free from the Kindle Library!
FIVE | Let’s discuss The Bachelor premiere for a minute. First of all, I love Chris! Secondly, I love Britt and I can definitely see why he gave her the first impression rose. I also really like Whitney (the fertility nurse) although her baby voice drove my crazy. Jade is also another front runner for me. And what was up with the onion girl? Do you think that was staged? Why did he keep her? Anyways, I can’t believe I am still getting sucked into this show. I quit watching for several seasons and got sucked back in last year when I was tired of not knowing who anyone was talking about in my group friend text (JEMK – I’m blaming you!) 😉 Who are some of your favorite girls so far? #princefarming
That’s a wrap for today! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Oh, Lilly at Target just before Spring!!!?? Smells like trouble! Thanks for the tip. And I’ve also been sucked into The Bachelor this season too because I’m interested in how the women selected are going to fit into Chris’s ag/farming lifestyle (my niche). I have the most faith in the guidance counselor from TX (Name?) and Jade. When she dropped that she was from Nebraska, I was like “ohh!”
Paige says
Lilly at Target is going to be trouble big time! I have a feeling the stores are going to be chaos on the day it debuts. I can’t wait to follow your take on the Bachelor this season with your farm life knowledge. Hopefully he picks a good one! 🙂
