A Southern Twenty-Five on Friday!

Whew. First full week back at work and not another day off in sight... at least there are a few things coming up to look forward to!

Linking up again with the awesome April, Darci, Natashaand Christina for the 2nd Five on Friday of 2014.

Current favorite nail color: Essie's Mind Your Mittens
{via}

It's dark, not black, and perfect for winter. I can't bring myself to paint my nails dark colors any other time of the year so I have to use it while I can!

I know that everybody was complaining about the cold weather but when I saw that the temps were going to dive down to the single digits & below with the windchill, my first thought was "Yay! Flannel sheets!" It hasn't been cold enough the last couple of years to warrant busting those bad boys out but boy I was pumped that I got to sleep on them this week. I am so bummed that it's going to be 60+ this weekend and that they're coming off the bed :(

Seriously. I love flannel sheets... like these from college:

When I moved to Charlotte over 3.5 years ago, I bought two red couches for my living room and a couple weeks later, some coordinating pillows to go on them. I am so sick & tired of those pillows. I've been on the search for new pillows for who knows how long and I finally found the perfect pillow to replace the old ones:

Except.

There was only one left at World Market and it's a discontinued pattern.

The search continues!

College basketball, for me, does not start until ACC play begins in January and every year it makes me so sad that I'm not still in college. Some of my favorite memories from college were all the weeknight basketball games we went to and all of the random things we received for going to games. Like these hats:

Whew. It's Friday & that means a weekend full of fun things around the Queen City:
- Panthers Pep Rally
- time at the gym
- a brunch blate
- Seahawks playoff game
- church
- Panthers playoff game {any recommendations for a good bar for watching the game?}

Is it 5pm yet?!

  14. Stopping by from the linkup. I love the pattern on that pillow! And the same thing always happens to me where there is only one left of something and of course you need two. Luck is never on my side when it comes to pillows :)
