High Five for Friday

 dress: old navy  shoes: payless

1.  I got some great deals at Old Navy this week.  Thanks to a 40% off coupon I bought this dress for $8.
I also got a sweet pair of wedges for $4 and a sailboat shirt for $3.
 I'm sure I'll be sharing them next week!

2. New hat and new sunglasses. 

I think I look way cooler than I probably should feel in this picture.

Please don't tell me otherwise.  I rarely feel cool.

3.  Things don't always turn out.
First time - success.  Second time - fail.

Baking failures like this used to make me cry.  Maybe I'm growing up!
And let's not even talk about how desperately I need a new baking pan.

4.  I finally feel like I had a fun week of summer.
After a really rough June, it was nice to relax and actually do things.
I spent Wednesday in Lake Geneva and had such a great time.

Sunglasses, fedora hat and a boat?  Seriously, this may be the coolest I've felt.

5.  Was that an appropriate use of a hashtag? I still don't really understand twitter.
 But want to follow me anyways?

That might actually make me feel cool too.

Hope you have a great weekend!

1.  With this terribly hot weather I've stopped blow drying my hair and have resorted to some sort of braid on a daily basis.

Another braid from this week:

2.  Showing my 4th of July spirit on Wednesday.

romper: H&M  headband: made myself

3. This quote made me laugh and I'm sure we can all relate.

4. I made these delicious brownies to take to a friend's house on Wednesday.
S'more brownies

Bake a batch of brownies.
Add some mini marshmellows and broken up graham crackers and broil for a few minutes.
Top with broken Hersey bar pieces.  Let them melt.
They tasted SO good!
Full recipe round here.

5. And a picture right before the fireworks started.

Hope you have a great weekend!
