Gift Guide: Dear Santa

December 1, 2016

from top left: bow dress {UNDER $20} // eyeshadow palette {UNDER $50, new arrival}  // tassel earring set {UNDER $75} // cravings cookbook // emerald cuff // ‘oh deer’ welcome mat {UNDER $30} // ‘all the jingle ladies’ sweater {ON SALE} // gold glitter loafers {UNDER $75} // striped tee {ON SALE} // foldover clutch {comes in more colors} // weekender bag // polar bear purse {ships free}

Every couple days this month, I’m changing up the ‘Holiday Shop’ widget that sits in the top right of my sidebar, but I wanted to highlight some of the fun items that are in it right now because they’re great for gifting.

The red bow back dress features a low back with a classic fit and flare silhouette that I love.  This dress ships for free and is just perfect for all of your holiday parties.  Pair it with gold jewelry, nude pumps and a red lip for the traditional holiday look.

This Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palette was just released this fall and has gotten great reviews.  I love the family of colors in this palette, plus I prefer my eyeshadows in sets like this because it makes knowing what colors to blend so much easier.  {I have this palette, that so many people call the OG, and have absolutely loved it.}

It seems like every year I manage to forget someone on my list, so I always try to buy a few gift sets that I don’t even have to wrap, like this trio of tassel earrings.  {I picked up one of these nail polish sets over the weekend as another ‘just in case’ gift!}

I love Chrissy Teigen {anyone else live for her Instagram’s of Luna in different Halloween costumes?!} and her cookbook, Cravings, has been on my wish list for awhile now.  I’m hoping to have a little more free time after the holidays so that cooking can be a thing that I actually do regularly.

Y’all know I have plenty of striped tees but this one is in a festive red and white and has a cute fringe detail along the hem.  Plus it’s on sale right now and how can any of us resist that?

Finally, this mini polar bear purse is too stinkin’ cute.  J. Crew always knocks it out of the park with their fun, novelty items but I can’t get over how darling this bag is for the little lady in your life.

Holiday Style with Radley London

November 24, 2016

Happy Thanksgiving! Every year I have all the intentions of getting dressed up and then at the last minute end up in a comfy look, but I wanted to share this pretty holiday look with you all today. While I’m not a big fan of the cold, I am a huge fan of all the fun novelty items that come out this time of year!  One of my favorite new additions this season has been my leather bag from Radley London, a British accessories company that features a fun Scottie dog as their logo.  It’s no secret that I’m terrier obsessed so picking out an item from their holiday collection was pretty tough.

Black Friday: J. Crew Factory

November 24, 2016

Happy, happy Thanksgiving! In between stuffing my face today, I like to stop and snag some of the early Black Friday deals.  I hate the idea of going out to shop in the crowds {#retaillife} which means I have to get ahead of things so that there’s time for everything to ship to me and then ship out to my loved ones. Phew.  Luckily, the early shopping usually means that I get some great deals too.

J. Crew Factory is one of my favorite places to shop for myself and for others this time of year.  They always roll out some great options for all the holiday dressing you may need to do whether it be casually working shades of red, green, blue and gold into your work wardrobe or a new dress for a cocktail party.  This is usually the best weekend to shop because you can snag some great stocking stuffers — like the black and white plaid scarf with pom poms – for a beyond reasonable price.

With it just starting to cool off in Kentucky, I’m hoping to fill a few different holes in my closet this weekend.  I’m in desperate need of some new long sleeved tees; I love 3/4 sleeve and tend to avoid the layering tees that come in handy this time of year.  I also wouldn’t be mad about buying a new coat.  Most of mine are from when I was in undergrad at UK and aside from being old, also are big since I’ve lost weight since then.

What are you hoping to pick up this weekend?
