Sheaffer Told Me To

Bachelorette Episode 5: They’re in France Y’all! :)

By 618 Comments

 IT’S BACHELORETTE TIME LADIES!
Even if you’re not a Bachelorette fan, make sure you read to the end of the post for an awesome giveaway!

The Bachelorette cast and crew packed up and headed to France this week.

And I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s “the perfect place to fall in love”.
I tell ya what, if we had a nickel for every time we’d heard that…..

Harrison walks out to sit down with Andi at an outdoor French cafe.
 AND Y’ALL. Harrison can typically do no wrong in my eyes.
BUT.
 He is wearing a turtleneck that looked like it had just eaten his neck and was about to start in on his face.  And then he went and paired it with a blazer.
And I also found myself wondering if the turtleneck had metallic threads running through it.
How do the French say “No Sir!”?
MONSIUER NON Harrison.
MONSIUER NON.

Josh gets the first 1:1.
They are strolling down the streets of Marseilles and I want her outfit.
She is wearing a blush pink shirt, white jeans, a green stone gold necklace, dainty little earrings, and carrying a grey and white striped tote.  And she throws on a jean jacket when they are on a boat later in the date.  The outfit is totally me, and I want it.
I’ll show you how to get the look at the end of the post! 😉

 One thing is for sure, this pair would make pretty babies.
And although they showed us earlier they are not fluent in French, they are in fact fluent in sucking face.  However, when Josh’s tongue isn’t down Andi’s throat, he continues to reminds us THAT HE IS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE.
Josh.  Here’s a tip for you:
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, QUIT TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE.
I’m just sayin’.

FYI:  Henceforth I will be referring to Josh as Dimples.
#becausedimplesfordays 

I want to interrupt the mugging down on the boat (you’re welcome), because stuff is happening back at the house.
JJ, the Pantsapreuner tells Marquel that during the first rose ceremony Andrew nudged JJ and said something to the effect of “Wow.  She chose the two blackies.”
Uh-Oh.
Monsieur Non.
Marquel talks to the camera and is super raw and real.
He gets a little emotional but talks to the camera in a very endearing way and basically says
that he wishes he could be judged for himself and not his color.
I like Marquel more and more with each passing second.  As does America.
#americawantstodatemarquel
#marquelforpresident

Now we’re back to the date with Dimples and Andi.
They pull up to a palace and Andi is clearly following the MORE IS MORE philosophy with her choice of evening gown with her backless dress that was was cut down to the naval in the front and then upped it’s game by displaying some side boob too.
See?  MORE is MORE.
Work it Andi.

 They sit down to have a nice romantic dinner
They talk about being a professional athlete (shocker),
they get treated to a private concert (shocker),
and then they dance and say they’ve never been happier (shocker).

Now it’s time for the group date.
It’s a group mime date, and I have nothing to say about it.
You see what I just did there? 😉

Just kidding, I do have something to say.

Harrison.  Whose idea was this?  Because LAME.
Although I must admit, man leggings and suspenders are funny in any language. Am I right?
Although I’m not a fan of the mime’s outfit in the picture below (just say no to meggings),
I do love Andi’s top.
Click HERE for the post I did on my black lace top that is VERY similar (which also has a cream lace version) if you’re digging her lace top.

The guys head out to the streets to show off their new craft,  and the crowd that had been forced to stand there by ABC interns  gathered was SO CONFUSED.
All you need to know is this.
MARQUEL OWNED IT.
#marquelcandonowrong

They all climb out of their imaginary boxes and head back for the cocktail party.
Cody likes to say the word “bro” while he wears a white v-neck under his button up.  Just an fyi.
He also tattle tales to Andi that Nick made fun of him for being thankful.
What?
Cody, Cody, Cody.  Nobody likes a tattle tale.
Andi then decides to question some of the guys, and each time she does she plays the “would you tell your wife card?”  Bleh.  Andi.  You are dating like 47 guys at the same time.
NOT ALLOWED to play the “would you tell your wife” card.
NOT. ALLOWED.
M’am non.
Nick then read some “poetry” to her that he had written. And listen, I use them term “poetry” loosely.
I’ve got a poem for you Nick.
Roses are red, Violets are Blue, You pouted like a 2 year old during the mime date.  Just go home.  You’re on the Bachelor for crying out loud.  OTHER PEOPLE are going to be on your dates.
Sure, mine doesn’t rhyme, but yours didn’t either Nick.
Marquel decides now is a good time to confront Andrew for the name calling allegations.
Andrew vehemently denies the allegations.
And I’ve got to say, I kinda believe him.
But what matters here is that Marquel handled himself beautifully.  The guy is a class act.
Actually, what really matters is that Marquel is KILLING IT with the pattern mixing.

 Coach gets the next 1:1 and the date card says something about a “recipe for love”.
They go see a private screening of  The Hundred Foot Journey.  It looked incredibly boring, but dang they were pimping it out SO HARD!
They shop for food on the streets of France and look adorable while doing it.

And now I want a leather jacket for fall.
Fingers crossed there will be one I fall in love with during the Anniversary Sale.

They go back to Andi’s place to cook, and the “recipe for love” with Andi and Coach was more like a recipe for disaster.  Andi somehow managed to burn a pan of WATER, and I’m telling you, that was the best thing that happened all evening long.  Andi illustrated her feelings about the date thus far by holding up this limp pepper.
Nuff said.

They ditch the cooking, head to a restaurant, and then decide to eat each other’s faces.
Coach still gets the rose.

Who went home?
Marquel, Patrick, and Andrew.
And this should come as no surprise, but Marquel gave THE SWEETEST exit speech in the history of exit speeches.
Don’t worry Marquel, you should have girls throwing themselves at you by morning.

And let’s all take a moment to contemplate the fact hat Cody still remains.
I don’t understand Cody’s continued presence.  Is anybody confused by this?
Andi, please.  Please tell us the logic here.

But the real loser of the whole night?
That’s an easy one. 
That would have to be Andi’s most likely FORMER hairstylist.
Because THIS.
Andi, Elsa called and wants her braid back. 

But we’re not finished yet girls!  We’ve got one more HUGE thing before you go!
Let’s look back at Andi’s outfit from her date with Dimples.   It was so cute.




denim jacket HERE / shirt HERE / white jeans HERE / dainty gold earrings HERE / green necklace HERE / wedges HERE / tote bag HERE
I am so glad I found this sleeveless top!  It’s ONLY $34, and the cut is so pretty!
And the white jeans are ONLY $54!!!
GREAT SUMMER STAPLES!

Don’t you just love this whole look?
If I had to pick a favorite item,
 it would definitely be the tote bag!
And good news for you, if you love the bag, you have a chance to win it right now!
And really?  Who in the world wouldn’t love this bag?  Nobody.  That’s who.
(You can choose the grey and white stripes, or you can design your own and choose a different color combo and pattern.  Go HERE to see all of your choices in the St. Anne.
 And as you can see, they will also personalize it for you!

It’s possible that I’m slightly obsessed with my Barrington tote c/o Barrington (I have the Nantucket in grey chevron).  Look!  It looks good with everything!
And it holds A TON!  I often times just carry it as my daily bag, but I also took it to a conference and packed it up!  It held my wallet, my make-up bag, my calendar, my water bottle, and my laptop.  Oh, and my denim jacket! 
THESE bags would make great carry-ons! 
AND GUESS WHAT?!?
If you want one for yourself, NOW is the time!

    Just started following your blog. I am a mom to a 3 and a half year old boy and, like you loving every minute of it. I found your blog when the realization hit that it is time to put some effort back in to style and fashion. This bag would be a dream and the kind of treat I have not given myself for at least four years 😉 Would love navy stripe.

    I don't even watch the Bachelorette but your commentary is hilarious! I would get this bag in navy blue with the ikat dot pattern (I think – maybe the navy stripe, or the grey stripe….. aaaahhhh they all look good!!).

    Perfect tote for everyday use and my baby necessities…I would choose the grey with pattern 0001-00103. Love it!

    I think (although I have changed my mind 60 times) I would chose tan in the scroll diamond print.

    Love, love, love this tote! I'd get it in the navy stripe. Navy stripe with the brown trim = perfection. So in love with totes, stripes, and all things nautical right now! Thanks for the opportunity.

    And for the bag (which I NEED! I just had my THIRD child!…I may be slightly crazy…) I'd go with either grey or navy chevron.

    Back to the Bach post. Marquel is adorable! Next Bachelor!??!?!

    I want the St. Ann's in a gray stripe! Crossing my fingers!!! I need a new bag that is big enough that it can fit all of my essentials plus a few things for my toddler. I'm done with a diaper bag for now, but my regular purses can't fit the extra things I need to carry for my little man.

    I love basically any of the colors in the Ikat print. Or maybe the nautical-looking one (first one). They're pretty! And I agree that Marquel is awesome. I wish he'd be the next bachelor, but of course they've announced he'll be on Bachelor in Paradise. Boooo. 🙂 Happy Friday!

    I love the grey stripes! Good thing I'm in "diaper bag" mode with my 5 month old twins, I'd spend way too much money buying multiples of this bag!! I'm so glad I used nap time to come and enter this and saw that the Kate Spade studs are on sale again! I got two pairs of the hot pink the last time (one for me and one for a birthday gift for my sister) and wear mine all the time! They are great, my babies can't pull on them and they don't stick out (and aren't as rough along the prongs) as my diamond studs. I think I'm going to get the green or tortoise now!
