Friday Five

Happy Friday! In light of today being September 11th, a special shoutout going to all of the first responders across the country. Let's all go a little above and beyond on this Friday and do something nice for someone. 
History of Rap. I. Love. These. So much. I think Jimmy Fallon is one of the funniest guys on TV and I mean, JT, that's self explanatory (bragging rights: my sister took me to a JT concert when I was a teenager and we got to meet him!). This duo never fails to disappoint. 

Plaid on Plaid. Call me basic, but I love everything and anything plaid. Even if it is reminiscent of my uniform days of grade school (said uniforms are also the reason I don't think I will be able to get on board with the turtleneck trend this fall. #traumatized.. I should really talk to someone...). When I saw the plaid kitchenware line (I think it's Threshold brand) at Target, I stood there for about 10 minutes figuring out how I could incorporate every piece into my life. I haven't figured that out yet, but I will! If I had all of the money in the world, and did things like hosted dinner parties, I would absolutely buy every piece. I cannot find the line anywhere online, but you need to run to your closest Target and look (aka drool) at them! 
Downtown. This song is pretty much all I've listened to for the past 2 weeks. Well, that and the new Justin Bieber song (insert monkey covering eyes emoji). They are both below for a Friday musical snack (name that movie!). 

Suede. I picked up this suede skirt at Nordstrom Rack last weekend and I cannot wait to wear it. I'm still unsure of the whole 70's trend happening this fall, although it totally justifies the flare jeans I never got rid of... from high school, but I can get down with some suede pieces. Tops, shoes, skirts.. I'll take it! 
Foam Roller. So, this is not new, trendy or innovative in any way, but I finally decided to buy a foam roller at T.J. Maxx a couple of weeks ago and I wish I bought one years ago. I'm training for a half marathon in October and my body has been a giant knot lately. This thing has been a life saver. But, boy, do I miss going to my chiropractor back home...  I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for reading!

Friday Five

Friday, so good to see you. 
So, I have all these half written draft posts that I hope I finish within the next week and rapid fire out some Pleather & Sparkles in your newsfeeds. Does that even make sense? No. Anyway, instead of my spring inspired Friday Five I had in mind in light of the never ending snow the Northeast is getting, there are way too many great videos from Jimmy Fallon  this week that I needed to compile them. Obviously, the Tonight Show doesn't exactly fit into my 9pm bedtime routine, so watching the clips the next day is one of my favorite things to do. My coworkers don't even question why I'm sitting at my desk alone laughing anymore! 
Saved by the Bell. I personally love Jimmy Fallon. And I love Saved by the Bell (shout out to my brother for gifting me all of the seasons on DVD). This is a must watch if you ever watched Saved by the Bell and even slightly enjoyed it. Or enjoyed the fact Jesse Spano turned out to be a stripper. 

All Star Lip Sync.  Will Ferrell had me in hysterics while I watched this. Jimmy says it best, "you just can't unsee that". I love watching them die of laughter on the side. Also, are Jimmy and Will gigantic or is Kevin Hart really such a pocket pal? 

Fresh Host of Tonight. Fresh Prince and Saved by the Bell all in one week? Way to make a 90s heart explode. 

It Takes Two. While we're talking about Will Smith... 

Password. Basically, all you need to get out of this is Jimmy Fallon and Ellen DeGeneres should cohost a show. Fun fact: I used to love watching/playing Password when I was younger and also wrote a 20+ research paper on Ellen DeGeneres in college. So, I love this. 

Bonus video because who can resist Dierks, Kip or a goat? 
Dierks vs Kip. Kip Moore pranking Dierks Bentley after Dierks made him jump in ice cold water. If you don't care about either of these guys, you can at least enjoy it for the good looking men :) 
As always, thanks for reading and I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
