Gift Guide: Last Minute Home Gifts

 I've got one last gift guide for y'all. 
I kept wanting to put together a gift guide for the home and time kept getting away from me. 
Today I finally sat down and did it. The best part is all of these will deliver in time for Christmas. 
This is the coffee maker we have. Sadly it's sitting in a box until we buy our house. Regardless, this would make a great gift! 
I got J one of these 2 years ago. I think the new ones are so cute. Might need to upgrade.
These are so cute and trendy. I really want a set, but we cannot fit any more cups in our house.
This is absolutely beautiful. This will probably be the first purchase I make when we buy a house. Would make a beautiful gift for your mom. (Check shipping. You might have to pay for upgraded shipping to get it in time.)
Another item I have sitting in a box waiting for us to buy a house. My friend and I got the same one on Prime Day and he says it's AMAZING. (I have a different brand, but I feel like the overall consensus of robot vacuums is they are worth it.) 
These would be a great stocking stuffer. They work with Alexa and other smart home devices. Love that you can just talk to turn the lights or TV on.
This is such a cool device. It basically "opens" a bottle of wine so you can just have a glass and then save the rest. Really great for someone that drinks expensive wine. 
I really want one of these. Everyone raves about them. Great for a tech person you know. 
This one looks really cool. You can obviously tailor it to the persons specific interests.
I love the shape of these. Wine glasses are always a good gift. I feel like Amazon is a great place to buy them because they will be easy to replace if they break.
I bought one of these a few months ago and now have one on every TV! I love it. You can also use voice commands if you have an Alexa.

Hopefully you don't have too much more shopping to do. However, I hope you found this Gift Guide and the last one helpful if you still have some people to check off your list. 




Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts

We are really getting down to the wire with Christmas shopping! 
If you haven't checked everything off your list yet (or even started) I've got ya covered with these last minute gift ideas that will arrive in time for the big day next Friday! Thank you Amazon Prime. Seriously, what the heck did we do before everything was at our finger tips and deliverable within a day or two?
Kindle
I freaking love mine! Perfect for the avid reader in your life. (Certain colors and storage sizes will deliver by Christmas. Make sure you double check.)
This is one of my favorites. Games are always a fun gift because then you have something to do after all the gifts are opened.
I love these shoes. They are super trendy right now and would make a great gift. 
I got these on Prime Day and love them. They honestly might be on an even better sale than what I got them for.
This is perfect for the beauty lover in your life.
I hear nothing but great things about these. Bonus: If you get it for someone you live with it's also a present for you! 
Be careful who you gift this to. I personally want one of these scales because I want to see more than just my weight. This tells you 14 different body measurements.
My friend has one of these and it's so fun! 
For the person that has 100 pairs of sunnies. I have this one and it holds 12 pairs and looks good sitting out. (Check the dates here because only certain ones will deliver in time.)
Such a classic gift! (Again, double check on this one. Only certain colors and sizes will deliver by Friday.)
This candle smells so freaking good! I love getting nicer candles as a gift because most people won't spend the money on their own.
Great stocking stuffer. This looks similar to the one I have that I always get questions on.
Our friend got us these for Christmas 2 years ago and it's one of the best gifts EVER! 

Happy shopping!!

Holiday Accessories

 Happy December 1st!!
Can you believe we officially made it to the last month of 2020? What a wild year it has been. I always love this time of year, but I've been looking forward to it more than normal. 
Since it is December 1st we all know we are in full on holiday mode. 
One way to really get in the spirit is with a good outfit. Sometimes an ugly Christmas sweater or full red & green outfit is a bit too much for me. So today I am all about a good Christmas or holiday accessory. A  scarf, beanie, headband, or other accessory can be just the thing you need to add a dash of holiday cheer to your outfit. I opted for a plaid scarf and pom pom beanie for today's look. While the beanie I would wear all winter long the scarf really says I'm in the Christmas spirit! 
I've linked my entire outfit as well as some other great accessory options for your below. 












Top: Nordstrom | Denim: Abercrombie | Beanie: Old (similar here & I love this one because you pick your beanie & then pick your pom here) | Scarf: Old (this years version here I honestly like this one better.) | Shoes: Boutique (identical here) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lipstick: Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick in Maneater

I have a big red tote that I always break out in November. A great way to add a pop to your outfit. 
I like these because they aren't super christmasy, but still remind me of the holidays.
These are great for a more preppy style.
These come in a 3 pack for under $10. I like that they are still normal jewelry colors.
There's a ton of other great holiday options. They are currently sold out, but you can sign up for emails.
I am obsessed with these. I want them so bad. I'm kinda shocked I love them as much as I do.
This is a little kitschy, but I still really like it. I think this with another pearl or crystal clip would be cute.
It wouldn't be 2020 without some holiday face-coverings. I need to pick these up next time I'm out.

What is your holiday style? Do you like to keep things a little toned down or are you super over the top? Mine definitely depends on the day. Whatever your holiday style I hope you enjoy this season.

Gift Guide for Him 2020

I'm back with one of my most popular gift guides... the gift guide for HIM! 
My friend helped me put it together so most of these are coming straight from a guy himself. (I added one or two items on my own.)
He gave my so many ideas I will have a completely separate gift guide with stocking stuffers! (Stay tuned for that. Coming soon.)

I feel like guys won't buy themselves nice things. Christmas is always a good time to buy the guy in your life something nicer that they need and wouldn't buy themselves.
This is apparently a very trendy company right now. They have a bunch of other products and some gift sets too.
I love getting stuff like this for my dad. It's something he likes and I think it's even cooler that he can take 1 Saturday to make it himself. 
If the guy your shopping for travels a lot get him this. This one is really nice quality and I like that you can personalize it. 
These boots are so nice. My friend just bought a pair and he LOVES them. They are a little pricey, but all the reviews say they are amazing shoes.
These come in a ton of colors and have multiple fits & lengths. Great way to upgrade your dad, brother, husband, or boyfriends style. 
I feel like guys rarely drink enough water and if they do they are using plastic water bottles. Get him one of these so he will hydrate more and save the environment.
My friend said these are SUPER popular right now. You can also get them personalized.
This is a great gift for the guy in your life that loves to grill. I also really like this tailgate combo. 
I had this on the gift guide last year, but my friend swears they are amazing! He says they are so much better than the regular ones and definitely worth the higher price point. Because of how much he raved about them I felt they deserved a spot on the list again. 
Bonus points if you want to get him a new watch too.
These seem like really nice athletic shorts. My friend says he thinks they are comparable to Lululemon. 
These are such a versatile shoe in my opinion. They are expensive, but I've heard Cole Haan shoes are so comfortable. 
PS5
If you can find this anywhere you will be wife, sister, girlfriend, daughter, whatever of the year! 

I'm actually really proud of myself this year because I'm almost completely done shopping for J and my mom. That literally NEVER happens. Especially not before Thanksgiving. Now I just gotta get some stuff for my dad, and J's family. 
Hope this helps you shop for the guys in your life. I always find them the hardest.

Stocking Stuffers for Her

 Can y'all believe the holidays are upon us? 
I've got my first gift guide for you today. 
These are all great little gifts that would fit perfectly in a stocking. Almost all of them are under $25 too! 
I picked these up last weekend and love them. They seem really good for your hair. Not quite the silk option but close enough. And a way better price point.
I bought this a few months ago and love it. Both pieces are super trendy and you can wear together or separate.
My mom would always out a new toothbrush in our stocking. This is a nice little upgrade. It's currently on sale for $25 too!! Hurry and snag one before it goes back to regular price. ($50)
I am OBSESSED with these lipglosses. The colors are great and I love the formula. I cannot recommend this set enough. 
This is a little pricey, but I have found that some people do expensive gifts in their stockings. I love the quilting and it comes in a ton of colors. 
If this is not the most 2020 appropriate stocking stuffer I don't know what is. This helps you open doors, type in your pin on the credit card machine, and more so you don't have to touch it. I'm getting one for everyone I know. (Including myself.)
I have about 10 of these and I love them. You can get the beads in a ton of different colors and have it say anything you want. This is an Etsy item so I would order early! 
They have a ton of different flavors and it seems like the perfect size to throw in a stocking. I really want to try the cinnamon roll flavor.
Another super appropriate 2020 stocking stuffer. This mask is a little pricey, but if you know someone suffering from mascne get this for them. 
Most people already get super dry hands in the winter. Add in the fact that we are washing our hands more than ever and my hands are a freaking desert!!! This seems like it could be a good thing to do once a week to try and help combat that. 
I feel like we are still seeing the hair clip trend. These are really pretty and would be great for dressing up a low key NYE.
We all are exposed to screens too much. These help block the blue light and can prevent eye strain and even headaches.
Can y'all tell I'm on a hair tie/scrunchie kick? I bought this single version of this and love it for putting my hair up to wash my face. It's super oversized and fun! 

What would you like in your stocking from this list? I want everything I don't already have. haha
I did want to mention shipping really quick. Shipping around the holidays is always crazy. Throw in a pandemic and so many supply chains being disrupted and it's going to be even worse! I HIGHLY recommend ordering things as early as possible. I am always a last minute shopper and already have ordered a few things because I want to make sure they make it in plenty of time. Be especially mindful of this when ordering from small businesses and Etsy. 
And that's my PSA for the day! 
Happy shopping!

Christmas Jammies

 One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting festive pajamas! I seriously love them so much. I have soooo many pairs. I've rounded up some of my favorites below. 
I bought these last year and love them. They are super comfy. 
I love a good sleep jumpsuit. This is super cute for lounging around on Christmas morning.
I bought the star version of this and love it. It would make a cute gift because it comes packaged and has a scrunchie. 
I love the candy canes. I think they are so cute.
They have a ton of great options. I love this one of Santa checking out the surf and it says "Lost the List"
I always sleep in shorts and I think the detail on these is super cute.
I love a good sleep shirt and this one looks super comfy. 
This could be worn for lounge or with jeans. I love it with the below.
I love the waistband detail. I will definitely be grabbing these.
This wold be cute for Christmas morning or a party. It says "Party Animal" on the back. It is sherpa so it's probably VERY warm. Just be aware.
I love this because it doesn't scream Christmas. A good winter option.
I love sleep rompers. Not the most comfortable to sleep in, but they are super cute and cozy for lounging around.
This is a classic print and it comes in sizes for the whole family. We got a pair last year and love them.
Here's the men's, kids', and dog option if you want the whole matching family set.
I just bought these last week. I love the city print. 
Matching top for the above pants. I bought the matching set.
These come in a ton of prints. Like I said above, I can only sleep in shorts. I get way too hot. Even though I always buy pant options I usually switch into shorts before bed. 

I also found this SUPER cute Hanukkah set. And this one for the entire family.

What are your thoughts on Holiday jammies? Do you always get a new pair? Have you done the matching family set? 
Let me know in the comments below.

Target Christmas Decor

 Can y'all believe it's already time to think about Christmas decor? I am so ready to turn my house into a winter wonderland. Especially this year!
Target is one of my FAVORITE places to get Christmas decor every year. It's good quality and super affordable. Today I have rounded up some great options for y'all. If you aren't sure of what you already have go ahead and get the things you like and then when you pull out all your decor you can always return things. This will ensure nothing sells out that you really want.
We get a real tree every year, but if I got a fake one this would be it. It's 7ft, prelit, and flocked!! Currently on sale too! 
I love the knit and faux fur elements of this one. 
I bought this set 2 years ago and it's great! Super affordable and easy to build on.
I love this. Would look cute on it's own or layered with greenery garland.
I saw this while browsing my store last week and immediately snatched it up! It's so affordable! I feel like it's so hard to find an affordable yet pretty wreath. 
I love this little wooden Christmas tree. It comes in two sizes (smaller one here) and actually matches some vases I have.
This would actually work all year round, but I love a good fluffy blanket this time of year.
I think these are so cute. They have a colorful option too! 
I bought these last year and LOVE them. 
If you can't tell I love flocked pieces. I plan to pick this up because I need to replace my garland and it will match my wreath perfectly! Would also look cute with this garland layered. 
Always need a new one of these. 
These are so pretty and smell amazing. I always get the Christmas tree scent. This can also double as decor when you finish the candle.
I definitely need one of these. They actually have a really similar one in the dollar section if you can find it at your store. 
I definitely need this. I have so many little Christmas tree decorations I think this is a nice change up. 
This is so cute to hang on the wall. Especially if you have kids.
I started seeing these everywhere last year. I think I might try it out this year.

When do you start decorating for Christmas? I personally would leave up my Christmas decor all year, but J says no! I'll be out of town next weekend so maybe the weekend after. Since we get a real tree it can't be too early.

Holiday Season

Christmas is officially less than one week away.
Can y'all believe it? 
Now that most of your shopping is done it's time to start thinking about what to wear. (If you aren't done shopping don't worry because I'm not either. #procrastinator)
Today I put together a cute option for any holiday festivities you have going on next week. Most of the pieces are old so I have linked similar options. I've also rounded up some other great options if you need something more dressy or more casual. The best part is everything is from amazon and will get here in plenty of time. 
Scroll down and happy shopping! 









Dress: BCBG old (similar here, & here) | Vest: Target (similar amazon option here) | Shoes: Target (amazon option here & here) | Sunnies: Amazon | Lipstick: Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red | Clip: Amazon

Here are some other pieces I'm loving!

Gift Guide Dog Pawrent Edition

Happy Friday! 
Today I have another Gift Guide to share with y'all! 
We all know that person that is OBSESSED with their dog! (Raises hand proudly.)
Well I've put together a gift guide of what to get them. I would be so stoked if I got any of the items on this gift guide. 
Check it out and happy shopping! 
(T-shirt option here)
(If you want to splurge this one can send treats.)
Dog PJ's & a matching set for Mom & Dad

I hope everyone had a great week! It definitely dragged a bit for me. Looking forward to the weekend. I knocked a TON of wedding stuff out this week so I can actually relax a little this weekend. I'm going to take Ramsey to get his photo with Santa tomorrow and I'm so excited. What are your plans this weekend? Loved to hear in the comments.

Gift Guide for Him

Today I'm back with another gift guide. This is actually my best gift guide each year... the gift guide for him! 
I think this year I have a lot of different, new and unique items. J and one of my guy friends helped me put this together. It's definitely guy approved. I hope this helps you when shopping for your dad, brother, husband, boyfriend, etc. 

This bag is so cool. Definitely watch the video to get the full effect. 
This is great for travel.
Jack Black is such a great brand to ease guys into skin care. 
J & my friend have airpods and they both said to put the new ones on the list. They are supposedly noise cancelling and fit better in your ears.
This is a super cool wallet alternative. A little pricey but it also prevents RF theft.
These are so cool. I definitely put these on our registry for J.
This seems so cool to me. Great gift for an outdoor runner that lives in colder climates.
These are a great stocking stuffer for the guy in your life that wears dress shirts every day.
This is so cool I want one for myself. If you have an apple lover in your life that has the iphone, apple watch and airpods this is a perfect gift! 
Are you sick of your husband, fiance, or boyfriend asking you where things are? This is for you. J will definitely be getting one of these this year. I just might get the 4 pack! 
If you have a sports lover in their life getting them their favorite players jersey is always a good idea. 
I saw this on GMA for the first time a few weeks ago and thought it was so cool. If the guy in your life is super active this is a great gift. If you are also active you can benefit from this too. Win Win! 
I love this because it's personalized. It would look super cute on a bar cart. Bonus: You can fill it with their favorite whiskey.
My friend has one of these and it's so cool. Great for riding bikes or going to the beach/pool.
I like that this is so thin and looks like a credit card.
I think these are great because of the waterproof aspect. They are also super stylish. 

This is always one of my best performing gift guides. I'd love to hear what you bought from this guide and for who. Guys can be so hard to shop for so I always love putting this one together. I'm so appreciative to J and my friends that help me with this each year for ya'll. Hope it helps!

Christmas Decor

Happy Friday!
I know it's not even close to Thanksgiving, but I feel like everyone already has their Christmas decor up. (I don't...yet. That will change next weekend.) 
Since so many people are already decorating for Christmas I wanted to do a post of Christmas decor. 
Pretty much everything in this post is from Target. (With the exception of the Christmas tree.)
It's all super affordable and I would say I own 75% of the product. (Or something very similar.)
If you are in need of new or additional decor, you should definitely check the products below. Target kills it every year, but they really outdid themselves this time. 
This is so cute to place in a bedroom or by your TV stand or fire place.
I NEED this wreath. The price is also UNBELIEVABLE.
J and I have these. His is brown and mine is white.
This is such a statement piece. I would use this to replace some art or something already hanging in my home.
I bought this last year on Black Friday. They have a bunch of different color options.
We do a real tree, but if we did a fake one this one seems great! Super affordable too. 
This is Ramsey's stocking. 
I just bought these in this size and the larger size! 
I love these little ornaments.
I love this saying. Also, this is a super affordable pillow. 
I just bought this last week. Can't wait to see them on my tree.
I love that it's a stocking hanger, but also a decor piece. 
This candle smells good, is so pretty, andddd under $10!!!
Obviously need these for my tree. This ornament comes in multiple colors. I love the pink! 
I clearly need all the wreaths and this one is no exception. 
I need a wreath hanger for all the wreaths I want in my house. I just bought this one last week.
This will definitely be making it's way home with me at some point. 
I feel like this is a new thing I'm seeing this year. I'm into it. You can still use your tree skirt too! 
Garland can be super expensive. This one is under $25 and looks like good quality.
I saw this guy in store the other day and wanted to bring him home. I do have a different gold nutcracker that I love though.
This is very similar to the tree skirt I have. I think the brown would look really nice with the white tree collar linked above.

Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Are you waiting until after Thanksgiving? 
I'd love for you to weigh in below.
Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

Christmas Day Outfit Inspiration

Merry Christmas Eve!!
I cannot believe the big day is almost here! This year has flown by so quickly! What are your plans today? Are you relaxing and spending time with family/friends or are you running around like crazy picking up last minute gifts & wrapping them all?? We are definitely doing the second one. haha Every year I swear to myself that I am going to shop early and wrap things a week ahead of time. I'll be sure to let you know if that ever happens. 
If you are super busy today and don't have time to plan an outfit for tomorrow I've got you covered. You probably have similar pieces in your closet or you could always pick up the exact pieces while you're out running around. haha 
I have been wearing this plain non stop since I picked it up in November. It just screams Christmas to me. I am also OBSESSED with this vest. It's the perfect color and goes with everything. You can wear it well into January and February too! I would also highly suggest the Spanx leggings. These will help you look slim while eating an entire plate of Christmas cookies. (No judgement!) Top it off with a beanie to keep your ears warm while going from house to house. (If that's how your family does Christmas.)









Top: Old Navy | Vest: Target (similar here & here coat version here) | Leggings: Spanx | Booties: JustFab (JustFab is a subscription site. Similar here, here, & LOVE these) | Beanie: C.C. | Sunnies: Old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy spending this time with loved ones! I also want to take this time to tell you I truly appreciate each and every one of you that visit the blog. I love putting posts together, trying new products, and finding deals & steals that you can wear over and over again.
