We are going to fast forward slightly to New Year’s for one post because the reality is, New Year’s Eve is just around the corner too! I usually share dressed up New Year’s Eve outfit inspiration each year, but realized that I usually fall into the “at home” category so I thought I would share outfit inspiration for that as well. Let’s be honest, I will be lucky to even make it to the ball drop and will probably set an alarm for 11:55 p.m. like I did last year! Here is this year’s New Year’s Eve Outfit Inspiration: on the town & at home!Read More

new years eve outfit idea

If you haven’t heard, pink is my favorite color. And although I have always loved pink, I have upped my pink game in the last few weeks. From this ruffle skirt (which is on sale for under $60) in this post to the hot pink sweater with faux fur pockets in last week’s post, my closet seems to be getting more pink by the day. Needless to say when I saw this pink faux fur jacket, I knew it had to be added to my ever growing collection.

Happy Wednesday, friends! Since last year’s 50 gifts under $50 post (you can see that here) was super popular, I couldn’t let the holiday season pass without sharing one for this year. I’ve rounded up the best 50 gifts that are all under that $50 price tag. And of course I stuck with a color theme! From blush pink to magenta and everything in between, these gifts are perfect stocking stuffers or gifts for your sister or friends. Since there are so many products, I tried to break down the items by shade so it is easier to view. You can also scroll down to the bottom of the post and click directly on the product picture! Without further ado, here is this year’s 50 gifts under $50!

I had actually planned to wear this gorgeous navy velvet jacket to a Christmas party on Saturday evening, but I didn’t want the falling snow to ruin the velvet! Regardless, I couldn’t wait to share this perfect winter jacket with you.

Happy Wednesday, friends! How is your holiday shopping going? I say this every year, but my dad and husband are always the hardest for me to buy for. Maybe it’s because they never ask for ANYTHING! This year, I am thankfully finished with my shopping (including the two hardest on my list!) but I wanted to share a gift guide for the guys for this week’s gift guide. Although men are typically difficult to buy for (at least in my experience) it seems like each year I find more and more gift possibilities. I think retailers have upped their game because they know how much women suffer when it comes to finding the perfect gift for all the men in their lives! Anyways, here are this year’s picks for the guys.
