Five Things Friday. {And a Giveaway!}

We're back!!! Well...sorta. We are driving home today from a magical week in Jackson, Wyoming. It's been bliss. Serious. But we'll tell you more about that next week since we've got some business to attend to today. First, THANK YOU to our FABULOUS guest bloggers this week. They were so great, weren't they? Beyond great. Thank you talented gals. Second, five things Friday:

1. Soft slap watches:

Have you seen these? So cute. You've probably seen Morgan wearing them lately, and like me, you probably thought they were darling. And right now you can get 2 for $15 right here. I got mine and LOVE them. But you better hurry because they won't be that cheap forever!!!


2. You may judge me for this, but I'm saying it anyways. You see, the other night I was just innocently wandering Kmart, picking up some hairspray, when all of a sudden I was stopped in my tracks by what? Cuteness. In the form of clothes. At Kmart. Now is when you may begin your judging. But really, some of their fall lines are really cute, and all under $25! Here are a couple of things I saw:




3. Last night while wandering the shops in downtown Jackson, I came across these darling bracelets at a little boutique made out of hex nuts and rope:


So cute, but look at the price tag!:


$29.95?? I don't think so, cute boutique! Luckily for me I won't fall into your $29.95 trap since now we have Pinterest which is full of tutorials for these exact bracelets, which you could make yourself for a couple of dollars. And now I am definitely making them, and you should too. Then we will look like we shop at fancy Jackson boutique's and no one will ever know that they actually came from Home Depot. Find the tutorial here.

4. The new single by Gavin Degraw, that he performs here:


I adore him. His album, Chariot, is still one of my favorites in the whole wide world, so I know the new one that comes out in a couple of weeks will be great. Also, did you hear about the attack in NYC he survived? Horrifying! So glad he is okay so he could sing in this video for us.


5. Are you ready for this? I'm about to kill you with cuteness. In the form of personalized notecards. That's right, #5 is an AMAZING giveaway from Ella Bella Notes:

  8. Those slap on watches are pretty darn cool!
    And I would love a set of personalized stationary. The letter "J" is usually out of stock and I can totally forget about looking for the name "Justine" on just about anything. But I still love my name and wouldn't change it for the world!
