Friday Five.


{one}
I bought Cameron and I the Couple's Q&A A Day book as a late Valentine's present and I (I think he, too) have been loving it! It's a 3 year journal that asks you a question each day. Both of you have a space to answer the questions that range from "when is the last time you had takeout" to "I feel protective of you when _____." It's something I look forward to each day because it brings up questions that we normally wouldn't ask each other, and I love reading his answers. 
You can find the book here on Anthropologie, and also on Amazon and Ebay!

Charleston Fashion Week has been going on this week until tomorrow. I decided to volunteer this year for the first time and I had a blast Tuesday night! I acted as an usher, showing people where their seats were, and got to watch the whole runway show for free! Definitely something I will do again next year. 

Wednesday night, the Art Institute of Charleston had their own runway show. My next door neighbor happens to be a student there and had two dresses in the show! (The first dress you see below is her's!) She had been working so hard on her designs and I was so, so proud of her!

Lilly Pulitzer, Macy's and Estee Lauder have teamed up together to help you find the perfect foundation and perfect skincare products that work best for your specific skin through their new online tools.


Once you find that perfect foundation or skincare product, make a purchase of just $35 from the Macy's website (Ebates users get 6% cash back!) and you will receive the one-of-a-kind Lilly Pulitzer make-up bag seen below, and a 7-piece make-up set! You can even choose between subtle and bold for your make-up colors. 
You must hurry though, as this offer only lasts until March 23rd!

Our garden is finally coming together!
We unloaded 1.5 tons (3,000 lbs) of compost into our raised garden beds last weekend, and this weekend we'll mix it with some topsoil. I ordered about 25 different seeds last week that should be arriving today. I will start some inside and go ahead and plant some outside. We're so excited to have fresh veggies, fruit, and herbs right in our backyards!

Our one year anniversary is next weekend!! That is so crazy to me! 
We're taking a mini vacay to Hilton Head and I am so excited to get away for a few days!

Happy Friday everyone! 
Hope you're all having beautiful weather like we are here in Charleston! :)

  3. I'm so glad you posted your raised garden, we're starting to build ours this weekend. What size is yours? Fingers crossed you do a post on it, in the past we haven't had a yard so we've only done container gardening. Going big this year! : )

  6. The fashion shows sound like so much fun! What things are you going to plant in your garden? My favorite thing to grow was zucchinis. Ain't nothing like some zucs on the grill in the summer time!

  7. Nothing better than having fresh veggies in the garden. My favorite thing to plant is cinderella pumpkins. By the time October rolls around they are huge!!

  9. I think I'm going to order one book for my husband and I and one for a bridal shower I'm going too. I love it! Keep us posted on your garden. I've never tried to grow anything other than herbs and I'm intrigued.
