High Five for Friday

1. I was reading a real fashion blog the other day and it was giving tips on taking good outfit pictures.
One piece of advice was take pictures in new and interesting places.

You mean you don't want to see my deck every day?

Welcome to my back yard.

So much more exciting.

2. Thank you for all your encouragement and sweet comments on my post on Monday. I think this whole blogging thing has been a great hobby, distraction and source of encouragement with everything happening this year.

3. One of my best friends sent me this yellow bracelet in the mail this week just to say she was thinking of me. It made me feel so loved. And this other bracelet I saw on groopdealz for only $12 so I had it engraved with our wedding date as an early anniversary present to myself.

4. It was a struggle going back to school on Monday. I spilled coffee on myself in the car, left my purse at home, my key wouldn't work to get into school and I realized my grades for report cards were due that day instead of the next. I texted Chris to tell him and his response was

"Want me to throw coffee on myself and throw my phone out the window and call it even?"

Awe, sweet girl, hang in there. Read your post from Monday and I am sorry everything hit all at once. Keep the faith and He will take care of the rest! Take some time to relax and enjoy the weekend. You deserve it! xoxo!!Shanna

Hehe....spicing it up a bit there with the backyard! Your first day back to school is seriously one of those days where you just want to call it a day and crawl back in bed. Cute skirt and have a great weekend.

So, I totally thought I have been following your blog for like months now, but just realized I am not actually following, just keep coming back...haha.. SOOOO I made it official finally, even though I have been reading for a while! hahaha

Love your maxi skirt! I've been dying to find one :) That yellow bracelet is so cute...what a sweet friend you have. I love how you got your anniversary engraved on the other...brilliant! Also, I'm completely intrigued by that thai pizza :)

Lovinggggg your outfit in the first pic, I gotta get my hands on a maxi shirt that does make me look preggo. haha. And those bracelets are darling, what a great friend you have :) {And hubby, you know, for "getting" you that early anniversary gift}

Ha! I totally wondered where your deck was when I saw your outfit picture. It's hard to switch it up too much when you have to use a stand, though, right? I remember you saying you use a stand - so whatever works is great in my book. I just like to focus on the looks you put together! Thanks for partying with me at Drab to Fab. Here's the link to this weeks, party! Come on back to share more of your lovely looks.
