It feels like forever since I’ve done a regular Five on Friday post, so I’m excited to be able to talk about whatever I want to talk about today. I have a pretty random mix of things so let’s get started!
O N E – Bobble Stitch Sweater
I’m completely and utterly
obsessed with all things bobble stitch (probably because I love polka dots so
much) and I’ve been wanting a bobble stitch sweater for years. One of my favorite bloggers came out with
this one a few months ago, but I was crushed to find that it was $95. Y’all know this girl does not pay that much
for a sweater.
On Cyber Monday I was
perusing OldNavy.com for various items for the kids and I was the most excited
ever to see that they have a bobble stitch sweater for women in their winter
line!!!! The sweater is even more beautiful
in person and it is definitely a great dupe for the Rach Parcell sweater. It comes in grey, cream, and yellow (random)
and it is definitely my favorite winter piece in my closet right now.
It is a little pricier than
typical Old Navy items, but fortunately for me it was Cyber Monday when I found
it, so I was able to get mine super cheap with free shipping. It’s not as cheap as it was on Cyber Monday
anymore, but it is on sale today for 20% off and it would make a great gift for
any lady in your life.
T W O – Affordable Duck Boots
I’ve had duck boots on my
wish list for years but I’ve never bought or asked for any because they’re just
so darn expensive and I can hardly justify spending a lot of money on them
since we live in the south. I’ve always
wanted a pair to wear to the few cold outdoor events that we do attend each year, though – football
games, Fantasy in Lights (an outdoor Christmas event that we always attend) and
for those rare occasions that it snows here.
Well, Walmart of all places,
now has a line of duck boots that range from $19.99-$39.99 and they are so dang
cute!! I ended up snagging this pair when
they were on rollback and they were so cheap!
They’re the warmest things I’ve ever put on my feet and they are so
comfortable. The quality is also
shockingly great. They run on the
smaller side, so I sized up one whole size.
(I’m typically a 7.5 and I kept the 8.5 in these.) The entire inside of the boot is lined with sherpa
so I’m sure that’s why my normal size felt a little too snug. Unfortunately mine are sold out, but the same brand also has these which are very similar. They are normally $49.95, but they are on rollback right now for just $19.99!!
I know I won’t have a lot of
opportunities to wear them without sweating to death, but I feel like I was
able to justify spending the money on these since they were a fraction of the
cost of the nicer ones. And after that
FREEZING Georgia vs. Missouri
T H R E E – Igloos
A couple of years ago, I saw
pictures of some rooftop bar in NYC that had big clear, twinkle light-filled igloos
on the roof so people could enjoy time outside during the winter. I immediately added “rooftop bar igloo during
winter” to my bucket list and went on my way.
(And yes, I know there are way more interesting things to put on a
bucket list, but the heart wants what it wants… what can I say?)
Anyway, the other day I was
on Facebook and I saw that one of our local bars had made an announcement that
they now have clear igloos on the rooftop all winter long!!!! And they have twinkle lights up there,
too! Y’all!!!! Look at the pictures! They look so magical! I can’t think of a better place to have
drinks with my girlfriends!
I called the other day to
see if I could reserve an igloo for our girls dinner next week, but unfortunately
you have to pay by the hour to rent one out… and it is not cheap. Boooo. We probably won’t go that route for our girls
dinner (they don’t serve food up there anyway), but it sure would be fun to do
eventually! I just think it’s really
cool that we have something like this in our city.
F O U R – Bottle Brush Trees
Can I just say that bottle
brush trees made my Christmas décor this year?
I bought a few from Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off and they made
such an impact on my overall décor. Our
mantle is just so whimsical this year! Unfortunately
I can’t find my exact trees on HobbyLobby.com, but I did find these and these on Etsy
that are similar, but they're much pricier. Hobby Lobby's are an easy way to
make a statement without spending a lot of money.
F I V E – Christmas Dots
THEY’RE BAAAACK!!!!
That is all.

Happy Friday, y’all!
*Linking up with A Little Bit of Everything for Friday Favorites and Della Devoted for High Five for Friday.
I think I’m going to tell mr. Nine I want some Duck boots, soooo cute!! Love the funnies!
ReplyDeleteLove that bobble sweater. I have a knit blanket that included bobbles and they always pop out on the wrong side!
ReplyDeleteMy friend's boutique (Charmed) has so many of those bobble sweaters. I absolutely LOVE them! Those Walmart boots are so cute, and such great dupes for the most expensive ones. I ended up getting a pair of Sorel's that look pretty much exactly like those earlier this year. Granted I probably need them given our weather, but if I lived in a warmer place the Walmart ones would definitely have been my choice, too!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to get some of those duck boots! I died laughing at the CVS funny. I have never heard of those igloos, that sounds so cool, but not so cool on having to rent it out. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love bobble stitch anything! Blankets, sweaters... give me all of the bobbles, especially for the holidays. ;) Duck boots are also on my list. Have a fantastic weekend, momma!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal on the duck boots! That's such a shame about the fee for the igloo's. Don't they know girls just wanna have fun...ha, ha!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is so cute! I live in my duck boots. I've been to those igloos in NYC. It was really cool to see! Although, we went when it happened to be santacon and didn't know about it. It was a bunch of drunk people mess, but still entertaining lol. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI came so close to buying a few bottle brush trees the other day; I saw some pretty blue, silver and white ones.. but as much as I love blue, silver and white décor we really don't have that going with our Christmas stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou should try to find some that match your decor!
DeleteWhat a bummer about the igloos,but still very cool! We have some at a bar here, but I haven't been yet! Duck boots are the best, especially this time of year! Have a great weekend! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI got a pair of Tommy Hilfiger Duck Boots at Belk for $55. I thought that was a steal!
ReplyDeleteThose Igloos are so COOL!
Those igloos are sooo cool. I love my Duck Boots, but they are an investment for sure. I bought mine during their black friday sale last year. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it. I love Dots and need to try those ones!
