{My Favorite Color: GOLD}

What can I say, my favorite color is {gold}. I can't help it, I literally gravitate to everything coated in this fancy and fabulous color. Ever since a young age I have always loved gold hoops and accessories, I think I get that from my Momma. Today's {Fridays 5ive} was inspired by this lovely color and I hope you enjoy my favorite picks. My birthday is coming up and I am hoping my family members are paying attention; hint hint wink wink mom and dad! If you haven't had enough of me yet today, scoot on over to my friend Katie's blog:  Blue Daisy Bugg for my very first guest post ever!

• Chevron Glasses: I found these babies a few weeks ago via The Facebook from an ad that popped up on my news feed- first time I was ever happily surprised by an ad, but anyway I love them. I can't stop looking at them, I keep going back to them and wishing they were in my possession so I could drink out of them and feel extra fancy on a regular Monday night. Whats wrong with that? Check out the fab striped ones too here.
• Schnauzer: A little back story on why I love schnauzers. I had one growing up; Shakespeare, he was the greatest and sweetest dog that ever existed. When I was adopted my parents picked me up in the Memphis, TN airport, while there they met a family that was from Lexington, KY that was also adopting a little girl that was on the same flight as little baby me. They decided they would stay life long friends so me and their daughter could have one another to lean on through our adoptions. Well they had schnauzers who then had puppies which is where we got Shakespeare. So I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Schnauzers- and it defiantly helps that its GOLD! 
• Gold Vase: How adorable is this white and gold vase? I love it, its simple but still makes a statement. I've been spoiled and been receiving a lot of pretty flowers lately so I've been on the look out for a new vase to display them in. I really love this one and am thinking of ordering it today!
• Elephant Love: Who doesn't love a great gold elephant? Well I do and I adore this print mainly because of the gold detailing. Make sure to check out the rest of the prints this shop has to offer: lots of beautiful things with touches of gold.
• Gold Cheetah Pumps: Lastly, these shoes. THESE SHOES. Have you all seen the {Etta} pumps at J.Crew right now? I seriously die for every single pair. My friend Laura and I lust after them on the regular. We can't get over the perfect prints and patterns. I love these ones, they are sophisticated fun with that fancy flare of gold. 

Those are my 5ive obsessions of {Gold} right now. I hope everyone had a wonderful week and an even better weekend!! Thanks for always stopping by QUINNtessential, it means the world to me!

Friday's 5ive

{My First 5ive Favorite Things Post}

Happy Friday everyone!! My favorite day of the week should include my {5 Favorite Things}. I am going to be keeping up with this every Friday! I am pretty excited about this little addition to QUINNtessential and I hope you are too. To start things off I am going to showcase my most recent favorite 5 purchases. See below for all of the fantastic 5ive things!! 

1)      Forever21 Floral Top:  I love love love this top, I just recently bought it and thought it was a complete steal. It resembles the cut and style of a lot of tops from Zara at a fraction of the cost. It truly is amazing for only $20.00! The colors and print are fantastic for sunshine and spring weather.

2)      Sandals with Studs: I just ordered these adorable sandals this week and should be getting them in the mail today. I have been looking for a great sandal for quite some time now and was in love with not only the style: neutral with a touch of edge, but also the price! I had my eye on these  Steve Madden sandals but decided to go with the Zara ones because they were $30.00 cheaper- what can I say, this girl is on a budget.

3)      Fringe Clutch: I love this bag, the fringe and the coloring make me go bananas. It is perfect for any season and day or night. It truly is a stand out piece and I adore it.

4)      Candle: This has been my favorite candle for the past couple of months, I am about to buy my 3^rd one. It smells so clean, fresh, and overall perfect. It is currently on sale at your local  Anthropologie for $10! I promise you won’t regret it.

5)      Sugar Passion: Last but surely not least is my all time favorite lip accessory, Fresh’s Sugar lip treatment. This stuff is a God sent, I have been obsessed since I got my samples of the original Sugar and Rose color for my birthday from Sephora. I have used up 3 mini’s and finally purchased a normal size one last night. I decided to try out the color Passion and I am passionately obsessed with it. The color is great and so is the way it makes your lips feel! Your lips will thank you if you buy this for them I swear!

There you have it, my 5ive favorite things right now. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and let’s keep our fingers crossed it gets warm and stays that way! 

Krazy for KSladeMade

Happy Wednesday!!! and a very HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday to my greatest friend Baili! Not only is Baili an amazing friend she also has always been 110% supportive of me and QUINNtessential. I don't know what I would do or where QUINNtessential would be without her love and support!

In hopes to bring some happy {Spring Time} thoughts to everyone's gloomy, snowy cold day I thought I would brag on my favorite purse maker Kelsea Slade. This girl is seriously going places! She is so talented and everything she makes is seriously {INCRED.IBLE}. I cannot stop bragging on her and her work; you can see my previous posts {here, here, & here,} I told you I had a major thing for this girl and her handmade bags. She has released some of her newest things and they are to.die.for. Enjoy and be sure to check out everything she has to offer on kslademade.com, you won't be sorry! All of her pieces are the ideal accessory to any Spring/Summer look!
