Five on Friday: Raleigh Blog Society + Alex & Ani

It's Friday! It's Friday! It's Friday! I am hoping the rain stays away so we can tackle a few outdoor projects this weekend.

I am linking up with AprilChristinaNatasha, and Darci for Five on Friday.

ONE:
Raleigh Blog Society hosted Ladies' Night Out in Downtown Apex last night and it was fabulous - It was an evening full of sipping champagne, chatting and shopping! Having the opportunity to mix and mingle with many local Bloggers was lots and lots of fun.

TWO:
Ladies' Night Out also helped to promote local businesses in the area because lets be honest, who doesn't love to shop local if you can?! If you haven't been to Downtown Apex to shop or dine than I highly recommend that you venture down there soon. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
THREE:
Moon & Lola was our first stop! I had never been into a M&L shop until last night because I had always shopped online but this has quickly become one of my new favorite stores. They have everything from their signature jewelry to coffee table books to home decor.

FOUR:
After M&L, we walked down the street to Stylish Living! It is one-stop shopping at its best. They have something for everyone and every occasion. The people are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to help you find the perfect gift.

FIVE:
I have received Alex and Ani bracelets as gifts from 2 of the most thoughtful, inspiring and supportive women that I am incredibly lucky to call my dearest friends. Every time I wear them, all I can do is smile. If you are looking for a special gift and a good price point, these are a great option.

If you live or have visited Raleigh, have you been to Downtown Apex? If so, what are your favorite stores or restaurants? Cheers to the weekend!

  1. That event looks like a lot of fun! Downtown Apex looks adorable! Too bad my parents just moved away from Raleigh because that'd be a fun place to spend an afternoon.
