Friday 5 and a Giveaway!

Hello and Happy Friday!

I'm lining up with these ladies: Darci, April, Christina and Natasha for 5 on Friday!

Today's Friday 5 is Valentine's Day themed :) 

I also have a very fun Valentine's Day giveaway for you at the end of the post!

1 // This Berry + Banana protein smoothie is the perfect pick my up in the morning for breakfast. See the recipe here. Of course, it tastes so much better with a Valentine's day inspired straw :)

2 // Speaking of straws, I found these cute extra large straws at Michael’s. They are perfect for smoothies and juices!

3 // For Valentine’s Day, I always like to add a little pink or red to my accessories and nails. 
essie's 'a cut above' will do the trick!

4 // There’s something about adding a pretty arrangement of fresh flowers to my home that instantly puts me in a good mood. These pretty red and pink roses were found at Trader Joes! They have the best floral section for a not-so-bad price. This bouquet is a mixture of red and pink roses and pink spray roses.

5 // While searching for prints to hang in my home office, I stumbled across this lovely Etsy shop! Richelle’s shop Pretty Chic is filled with beautiful little print gems such as the one above. Pretty Chic also offers wedding invitations, stationary, custom stamps and more!

And now, one lucky reader will win this pretty print courtesy of PrettyChic along with a pack of red striped straws and the Essie nail polish from this post!

Please enter to win below. The more entries you submit, the better your chances are to win!

I will announce the winner on Monday, so stay tuned and good luck!

Fashion Trends to Try

Here are some fashion trends that I am loving at the moment:

1 // The tulle skirt {similar}. I love this lovely ballet pink one paired with a simple black sweater. So sophisticated and feminine. 

2 // Destroyed light wash jeans {similar}. I have been stuck on dark wash skinny jeans for the past few years. I am thinking about breaking out of my comfort zone and trying a pair of destroyed denim. I haven't had a pair of ripped jeans since college...Thoughts? 

3 // Pleather leggings {similar}. These are right up my alley... Black on black is a staple in my wardrobe, especially in the winter. I must find the perfect pair!

4 // This one is definitely a fave. The elbow patch cardigan sweater {similar}. So simple, preppy and chic. 

5 // Last but not least... sequined pants. Because, why not?! {similar}
