5 on Friday

Happy November! Why do I feel like the days drag on forever, but the months and years fly by? Now it's finally starting to get chilly outside, and I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, and the whole Christmas season.

It's been a while since I've done a 5 on Friday, so I'm happy to share 5 new finds with y'all this week!



1. Birthday Gifts to Myself
I make it a tradition to always buy birthday presents for myself. After all, it's the one day of the year that's all about you! Plus, you can't let all those birthday coupons go to waste (looking at you, Victoria's Secret and Loft!). I went shopping with my mom the weekend before my birthday and scooped up all kinds of stuff, including some new fall & Christmas B&BW goodies, two new bras from VS, and a couple new tops from Loft. Then, Jonathan's parents gave me an Amazon gift card, so I used it to buy this Kendra Scott necklace that I've had my eye on forever, which I'm really excited about!

2. Registering For Our Wedding!
I made an appointment for us to register at Bed Bath & Beyond on November 4th at a bridal show way back in January, and I'm so excited that tomorrow is finally the day! I've made a list of things that we need. There are some kitchen staples that we still don't have and some major things that I definitely want, like a Kitchen Aid mixer. We also definitely need a good vacuum (cat hair is literally everywhere).

3. Netflix
Before moving into our new house, I didn't have Netflix because our internet wasn't strong enough (the only downfall of living in a small town). I would only get to watch it when I went over to Jonathan's. Now that I have better internet at our new house, I finally finished my first series ever: How I Met Your Mother. I loved every single episode! Now I'm working my way through Fuller House; I was a huge Full house fan growing up, so naturally I love the perfectly cheesy series. I also just watched the first episode of Stranger Things - has anyone seen it? I'm kind of intrigued!



4. Monogrammed Vest
Have you ever checked out Marley Lilly's Monogram Bloopers? I've checked a few times before and never found anything good. I took another look this week to see if they happened to have anything with my future monogram, and they did! This monogrammed vest was only $10, so I didn't hesitate to buy it! Now, will I be able to wait until next fall to wear it...?

5. Wedding Updates
I just ordered our wedding favors: koozies that say "cheers to many years and cold beers!" I can't wait for them to come! We've also sent out our save the dates and decided on our wedding cake. Next up: picking out invitations. Any recommendations for where to find some less expensive ones? There are so many choices out there!
