High 5 for Friday
/
September 5, 2014

5 Randoms

1. Arm Candy
I am loving all this arm candy and the color combo in the outfit. I am just so so ready for fall outfits and weather. I have never been really good at stacking bracelets with my watch. I really need to work on this for fall. I always feel like they are scratching my watch. Any tips?
2. Tee
Loving this tee!! I found it online the other day and just adore it. Lipstick. Denim. Leopard. Done. I love leopard print accents and this tee is adorable. I really don’t wear lipstick, however, I love this idea of this tee. Plus, for all my mom friends, it comes in mini sizes as well!
3. Stitch Fix
I am getting another stitch fix next week and couldn’t be more excited. My first box was so fun and I can’t wait to see what is in my second box. I won’t lie, I am definitely going to peek as soon as my box ships and see what items are heading my way. The anticipation is driving me nuts!
4. Quote
“Its okay to be happy with a simple life.” It’s no surprise that the name of this blog is Simply Clarke. I take great joy in simple things and just loving life. This quote was a sweet reminder to slow down and think simple. Less is more.
5. Reading Nook
I’m horrible at reading nooks. I love them. I think they are the cutest things ever! However, I tend to find myself on the couch way more than in a chair. But, I am loving it. Hopefully I can set up at least one reading nook in my house somewhere.

    I’m the same way – the couch or the bed, those are my “reading nooks”, but reading nooks are so adorable!

  • Easy teacher appreciation gift idea you can make in 10 minutes 🍎✨

📚COMMENT “shop” for the links.

If you need an easy but thoughtful DIY teacher gift, this “container of appreciation” is such a cute way to say thank you without overthinking it.

I grabbed this viral pencil case and filled it with classroom must-haves, a few fun treats, and a little personalized touch ❤️

It’s perfect if you’re looking for a last-minute teacher appreciation gift, something practical, and still super cute + meaningful.

Save this for Teacher Appreciation Week or send it to another mom who needs an easy idea 💌🙌🏻

  • Okay, but how cute is this for a Mother’s Day gift basket idea 💗🍾✨

💐 COMMENT “shop” for the links.

I put together this easy DIY mimosa gift box (aka mom-osa gift idea) and it’s the simplest way to make any mom feel so special without overcomplicating it.

Just grab a cute box + fill it with mini champagne, orange juice, sweet treats, and a few self-care goodies 🤍

🥂💗This is perfect if you’re looking for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift, a gift for mom friends, or even a cute DIY gift basket idea. 

Save this for later or send it as a hint 💌

  • We went to @statefaretx and I finally got to bring my mom after our whole family loved it so much last time. 🎡✨The patio views, family-friendly atmosphere and upscale, spring fair vibes already had us sold before we even ordered.

Their new spring menu is good. (I can’t wait to go back for brunch). 🍽️

We ordered — 
OG Beef Chili Frito Pie 🎠
Chicken tortilla soup 🍲 
Smoked Cobb salad 🥗 
Chicken fried steak (Brooke specifically requested leftovers 😂) 🥩

And don’t even get me started on the fried Oreos with mint chocolate chip ice cream… 10/10.🍦🎢

Big portions, fun atmosphere, and such an easy win for a family lunch or dinner. Plus kids eat free Fri–Sun🎟️

If you’re local, add this to your list for your next family outing or lunch with friends 🎡❤️
