Oh my, we’re here again already! Haapppy Friday, friends! Phew we made it to the weekend! We had a beautiful Fall day yesterday, but I’m afraid temps are dropping like crazy today, so I think its going to be a couch, chili and football & Halloween movie kind-of-weekend! But first, it’s time for this week’s The Friday Five!

sweater // jeans // boots // purse // hat // sunglasses
Before we get down to business, I had to share this leopard eyelash sweater. It is extremely soft and slightly oversized. I’ve even seen people wear it as an off-the-shoulder sweater. Super cute!
Now let’s head down and check out my random tidbits, new finds, sale items and more in today’s post!
THE FRIDAY FIVE
ONE // OTK BOOTS
sweater dress // boots [see full outfit details here]
I purchased this pair of black over-the-knee boots this Summer at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and have been so excited for cooler weather to be able to wear them. Well, the time has come! The boots are beautiful and love the look with dresses, leggings [usually my Spanx] and skinny jeans. They are a block heel so can be dressed up or down.
I got my normal size 8 [I’m a 7.5-8] so if you’re in between definitely size up 1 or 2 to ensure calf & thigh room [if you need it!]
I especially love them paired with sweater dress for the ultimate Fall look!
If you’re on the hunt, I’ve linked a few other pairs below. A cognac pair is next on my wish list!
TWO // SEBASTIAN THE SCARECROW
We have a new front porch friend and his name is Sebastian! With the help of a dear neighbor friend, our family built a scarecrow one Saturday afternoon. She had the cutest set-up and provided the hay and newspapers and we dressed him with a few goodwill finds.
My biggest score was this $2.99 straw hat with a bandana strap and a crow attached to the top.
We stuffed his pants and shirt, topped him with a plaid #becuaselayers and then stuck his hat on top.
The boys had a ball! I remember making a scarecrow when I was around 5 or 6 and loved watching the boys work together to make theirs. I see a new Fall tradition in our future!
THREE // NEW MASK ACCESSORY
Ok, I’ve got the cutest small business to share with you! A friend of mine and her mom started a mask accessory business, Mask Mags and sell these darling little magnet accessories for your mask.
I sported my pumpkin MaskMag at the Pumpkin patch and wore my wine glass to outdoor happy hour with some girlfriends!
You can check out all of their adorable designs here! They are super affordable and would make lovely gifts. What a cute stocking stuffer idea!
*BONUS!! I have a discount code for you! Enter “BLISS15” at checkout for 15% off your $15 order. This mama/daughter small business will appreciate your orders so much, so go and stock up on these cute mask accessories for yourself, friends and family!
FOUR // OLD NAVY HAUL
ICYMI! I shared 10+ Old Navy finds earlier this week and was so impressed with every item in the haul! Sweaters, henleys, jeans, a blazer, vest and more! Plus the cutest mask pack [snake print AND leopard included!] and sports bra!
My next Amazon Haul will be next week and I’ll put up the voting poll for November’s retailer in the next couple of weeks! You can see all retailer Try-on hauls here.

FIVE // MEME OF THE WEEK
This is terrible, but oh-so-true some days!
I’ll admit there’s been more electronic device use in our home than ever before, but sometimes it’s survival mode!! Any other moms feel me?!
I hope you all have the best weekend! 1 week and counting until Halloween!
