Friday Funny

It's been a long week...like "it's 9pm and I'm ready to get in bed and sleep until 9am" kind of week. So, if your week has been anything like mine, you need a little mental break; and, this adorable video did just the trick for me. 

She makes a great argument, right? 

Happy weekend!

What's In My Virtual Shopping Cart?

I'm a big believer in online shopping. I rarely go shopping unless it's to a local shop where I can't purchase online. It's just so much easier to have everything delivered right to my door. Plus, it makes for a nice surprise when I get home from work!

Here are some of my recent online purchases...

Via Birchbox

Benefit They're Real! Mascara: I love this mascara. A friend told me about it after I asked if she was wearing false lashes (she wasn't). On a daily basis, I usually just use one coat for a more natural look. But, you can really glam it up with two or three coats. This mascara makes your lashes look full and long!

Via Nordstrom

Sole Goddess Blister Protection Foot Balm: "Killer shoes don't have to kill your feet." I bought this for my wedding rehearsal and wedding day. I, for one, am totally miserable if my feet are hurting; it just ruins everything. This balm is supposed to create a protective barrier to prevent blisters and rubbing. And, it's not sticky and doesn't ruin your shoes. I will be rubbing this all over my feet come next weekend!

Kirribilla Whitney Dress: I have been DYING for this dress since last summer; I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money. So, as soon as it went on sale, I jumped. It's so pretty in person, and I love a peplum. I'm thinking about wearing it to my bridesmaids' luncheon and on our honeymoon. 

Via Zappos

Crocs Ballerina Estiva: You read that right...CROCS! I never thought I would buy a pair of Crocs, but these were too cute (and comfy!) to pass up. These are part of the Crocs Stefano Furiani Collection...they actually don't even have the word Crocs anywhere on the shoe, and the box just says Stefano Furiani. But, these babies are so comfortable and lightweight! I got these because I needed some comfy flats to wear on our honeymoon. I've already worn these to work a few times, and they're like walking on air. While I'll never buy the Crocs potato-looking shoes, I am sold on these!

Via Beryll c/o TODAY Show Steals and Deals

Beryll Canvas Tote Bag: Have you heard about the TODAY Show's Steals and Deals? I'm absolutely obsessed. Every few weeks, they feature insane deals on all kinds of goodies. For example, this tote bag retails for $485 on beryll.com; I got it for $70 on Steals and Deals. You can follow TODAY on Facebook to find out when the deals are going on...they only last 24 hours.

True & Co. - Making Bra Shopping More Fun

If you're anything like me, shopping for bras is not something you necessarily enjoy. I hate getting measured and having to try them all on in the dressing room and having over-eager saleswomen check my progress. 

Enter True & Co.: Your Personal Bra Shop Online. True & Co. makes bra shopping easier and more enjoyable. 

It's a genius concept, really. You fill out a short quiz to determine your size and fit. The quiz gauges more than just your bra size; it takes your body shape into account to determine the best bra for you.

After your size is determined, they suggest bras for you based on your size and shape. And the best part is that you get to choose five bras to try on at home for FREE! That's right, you get a whole box full of bras with no obligation.

My True & Co. order

 I ordered the Leilieve "Feel Good," the Spanx "Brallelujah Racerback," the Triumph "Perfectly Soft," the Calvin Klein "Icon Modern T-Shirt Strapless," and the Calvin Klein "Seductive Comfort." 

Obviously, comfort is important to me. 

You have five days to try on the bras and determine which ones, if any, you want to keep. They send you an envelope and return label so you can return the bras you don't want for free.

They ask that you fill out a short feedback form before returning your bras so they can better serve you in the future. 

I ended up keeping three out of the five bras. I honestly liked all of them, but I didn't want to spend that much money right now. 

Currently, they offer band sizes 32 - 38, and cup sizes A - F. They also offer panties and other lingerie. 

There were two minor downfalls I found after my first order:

1. It took about seven days for me to get my order. That's not a super long time, but I'm used to 3-5 days, tops (thanks, Amazon!). 
2. One of the bras I ordered was marked "final sale." I didn't realize until after I went to fill out my feedback form that final sale items are not returnable, even with the free try at home program. So, I ended up having to keep it with no choice. 

Overall, I had a really good experience and would suggest it to anyone who hates bra shopping as much as I do. And, if you use my referral code, you can get $15 off your first order!

So, what do you think? Would you rather order bras online, or do you prefer shopping in store?

Don't forget to enter our Wicks & Willow giveaway! You have until Friday to enter to win TWO beautiful candles.  

True & Co. did not ask me to review their product, and I have not received compensation. I just really like their product and want others to know about it. 

Friday Roundup

Thanks again to all our lovely readers. We're two weeks in and loving the blogging life. 

Here is a roundup of some things from across the web that you may have missed:

• I almost bought a brass pineapple at an antique store this week. Looks like I would have been on trend! 

• Have you seen the new Annie Griffin Summer collection? It's adorable! I just bought one of her dresses from local boutique Painted Pink for my wedding shower tonight. Be careful before clicking, you're likely to find something you can't live without.

• There was some terrible weather across the South and East Coast this week. This is in Baltimore after heavy rains that caused a landslide.

• For those planning to attend a Kentucky Derby party tomorrow, brush up on the horses and odds so you sound super informed.

• Are you as obsessed with Jimmy Fallon as I am? I LOL while watching The Tonight Show on the reg. This was no different. 

• Prince Harry is on the market again! And, he AND Prince William are in Memphis, TN (USA! USA!) right now!! 

• I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars recently, and it totally wrecked me...but, in a good way. It's endearing and heartbreaking and very true to life, I think, and the movie comes out June 6! 

If you're in Montgomery on Saturday, be sure to check out Southern Makers. But, buy your tickets today because there won't be any at the door! 

Enjoy the weekend!
