Sparkle Friday and a SURPRISE SPARKLE FRIDAY GIVEAWAY!

Hey Lovelies!!! It's FRIDAY!!!!! Woohoo!!! I can't tell you how much your comments and messages to me regarding my "On God's Perfect Timing" post mean to me! I love to hear your stories! It is amazing how much we can all relate to each other in some ways and how much we can encourage each other as well!

This week has been crazy here! Lots of late night working in the craft suite for moi, Reagan stuck a rock up her nose (really?!!! I'm still not over it! She is a nut!), Teddy is having bad dreams and up a bunch at night, my neighbors are ridic...It is so glamorous here!! Ha!!! I am so excited that I shipped out the giveaway winners' prizes! Yay! I can't wait to hear that you all received your goodies!

Also, this has been an extra extra sparkly week in the presidential house! I have been making lots of glitter wineglasses! Yay! I will be doing a flash sale next week to sell them, finally! If you don't want to wait to purchase, you can comment here or email me and you can buy early! Fab champagne glasses will be joining the wineglasses and all will be sold in sets of 4! Are you so excited?!! I am!

So, onto a few sparkle items that I am loving this week!

I finally took the plunge and added the neon pink Kate Spade studs to my life! I love them almost as much as the clear! :) I feel like I might need to add more colors to my collection too! So fun! I sent a surprise little happy in turquoise to someone earlier this week! That's a great color as well and I can't wait for her to get them!!!!!

This Foiled Dot Napkin Set from Anthropologie is amazing! I use them as placemats as well! My BFF gave them to me. Does she know me well or what?! Anywho, I ordered 6 more sets! They are on sale! Hello!! Perfect for gifts, etc! I could see these paired with a 4 pack of Sofia and paper straws as a hostess gift or birthday gift!!! LOVE!

 While I was making wineglasses this week, I made a few glitter vases! I am obsessed with how they turned out! This rose is from my fav bush in our yard! It smells amazing and of course,
it's my fav color!

I recently found this fab Etsy shop, Baker's Bling! I have been searching for gold paper straws for awhile now! Oh, how I love a paper straw!!! They have gold and silver straws (and any other color you could imagine!!!!!!)! They are FAB-U-LOUS and I love them! What better way to bring bling to your everyday life than by using a blingtastic paper straw!

Pair these straws with a Sofia or one of my hubs' Mojitos and one of the sparkly Anthro napkins
and you are totally set for a fab and fun cocktail hour!

Now for the Sparkle Friday SURPRISE!!!! 

I am giving away 2 sets of 50 of these FAB straws from Baker's Bling!!!!!! They will be a mix of GOLD stripe and chevron! Are you sooooo excited?!!!! YAY!!!! I am so excited for you!!!!

Sparkle Friday!!!!!!

Hey there lovelies! Happy Friday! I have had what seems like, the longest week ever. I needed some happy, sparkly things to take my mind off it, so that is how this post came about! It's no surprise to most of you that I am in love with glitter and sequins and beautiful shiny things! :) There are a few glitter/sequin items that I have and love and few that are on my precious wish list for my upcoming birthday... in August, but still, it's coming! Ha! I always say "sequins are always appropriate!" Same goes for glitter! Glitter is always appropriate and fun way to incorporate sparkle to any outfit!

I am OBSESSED with these pencils! The statement is so true to me! I can't wait to get these! I have a fun little idea that I am going to try, to display them! :)  Possibly a DIY on that...if it works out! Ha!

I am in LOVE with these glitter sandals from Target! I will say it again, Target and Old Navy have both really stepped up their game this year! I am very impressed and thrilled with both! These sandals are seriously the most comfy sandal ever! I love them! I am kind of kicking myself for not buying two pair! You cannot beat this price! I've had several women stop me and ask where I bought them and they are shocked when I say Target! Ha!

I have a huge love affair with sequin shorts! I seriously love them! I wore a pair when we were in Vegas this fall and they were so fun! Randomly enough, the pair that I bought (without trying on...I despise trying on in stores!) and wore were from Forever 21. They don't seem to have the gold ones that I wore...but here is a pic of me goofing off in the hotel room before we headed out! I loved them in gold! Honestly, you could dress these up like I did or dress them down. I plan to wear them this summer dressed down as well! I have a few ideas up my sleeve for that! :)

A wish list item that I think I would buy immediately if they had in my size! This FAB sequin sweatshirt that Juliette Barnes wore on Nashville a few months ago! They were sold out in my size. I recently found this beauty that is on it's way to me. It has taken awhile to find something that looked enough like the one from the show! So excited for it to get here! It'll be fab with skinnies in any color and shorts!!!! Woohoo!

Next up is this sequin anchor tank. I was loving it last summer when it was in regular stores and almost bought it for our family pictures last summer and now it's in the factory store. I'm surprised that it's taken me so lung to buy it! Haha! It mixes two of my favs~anchors and sequins! LOVE!

I have discussed these bags before, but my love for them continues. I use ALL the time! I actually bought a hot pink glitter circular version from Target in the girls' section for $2.98 a few months ago as well! I usually walk through that section and see if there is anything I love. I have scored a couple awesome skirts and some pants there! This mint version is on my wish list! I use my gold one all the time! Perfect for going out! 

I love this little purse as well, but it's not very practical...I don't think you could fit a phone and a lipstick! That would be a problem for moi! 

I'm sure you've seen me sporting this piece! I am obsessed with a good statement necklace! I love it! Very versatile and fabulous! 

I am OBSESSED with these HUGE crystal and gold Kate Spade studs! I love them and wear them every single day...they even make running errands and going to the gym, fabulous. They have a pair of hot pink that are on my wish list! Love them! 

Time for a SUPER wish list item! These Miu Miu glitter sunnies are seriously amazing! They come in three colors! I want them all!!!!!!! PINK AND GOLD are my fav! I seriously have to have these! I sent the link to my hubs! Ha! 

And of course, I have to add my glitter wineglasses. :) If you are interested in purchasing, you can let me know in the comments. :)

DON'T FORGET to Enter my FAB GIVEAWAY! Today is the last day to enter! Cheers to a fabulous and sparkly and blessed weekend! Winners of the fab fav giveaway will be announced on Monday!
