High Five for Friday 07.01.16: Sale Scores + a Concert

TGIF, H54F-ers!!! Della at Della Devoted, Katie at Cup of Tea, and myself want to welcome you to the High Five for Friday link-up and the weekend. We made it!

This week’s featured blogger is Kristina from The Kontemporary, a fashion and style blog. I love her post on Chicago and five things to do while you’re there.

Now let’s recap this week’s highlights:

1. Chauncey and I went to a Jason Isbell concert on Friday night at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland, Kentucky.  Yes, we had a date night!  The concert was awesome.  I had a toothache through it (and most of the rest of the weekend), though, so that was a little distracting.  I feel like turning 30 in a few months in causing my body to fall apart.  As of right now, I’ve avoided a root canal, but it still could happen.

2. Tory Burch is having its semi-annual sale, and I scored a pair of Minnie Travel Ballet flats for $110.25.  They’re regularly $225 so I was happy! And I scored the matching necklace for $2.80 at Charming Charlie’s sale on Wednesday night.  While I was at Charming Charlie’s, I also purchased a few gifts to put back in my gift closet. It was the last night for the extra 60% off sale, but now I think they have BOGO free on all sale jewelry.

3. Chauncey, Kane, and I had dinner at Rooster’s one night this week.  Afterwards, I went to get my nails done.  I went with the white SNS nails, which evidently are a little more difficult to do. I love how they turned out!  If you’re in the Lexington area, check out Pro Nails off Richmond Road.  Ask for Nina for SNS and Monica for pedicures. It was a nice and relaxing evening.

4. My friend Kayla got married last weekend, and had an awesome wedding at a renovated historic gym back home.  The bride was beautiful and the cake was so delicious. I wish her and her husband a lifetime of happiness!

5. 3. While we were back home for the weekend, we got to spend time with family. We all got together and treated my papaw to a late Father’s Day dinner. Kane got to go swimming and play with puppies. All-around fun was had:)

BONUS–OK, I have to include this Kane tidbit from last night. Kane and I were sitting on the couch watching TV when he got up to plunder around.  The next thing I knew, all chaos broke loose. Kane brought me the “mean” spider that was “hiding” behind the couch. . .and by “brought me,” I mean that he threw it on the blanket that was on my lap. I’m happy to report I survived, but it was touch and go.haha Yes, the spider was real, and yes, if it wasn’t already dead, it is now.
