Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Today I’m writing about one of my favorite winter trends to try each season: winter whites. I tried out winter whites last year in this post by pairing a black and white marble sweater with white jeans and black over the knee boots. I thought I would give two styling options to give this trend a try along with some winter white inspiration!

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

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!

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.

Save: cold shoulder top | statement earrings | bag | aviator sunglasses | lipstick | jeans | ankle booties

Happy Wednesday, friends! One of my favorite types of Wednesday Wishes to share on this little space of mine are splurge vs. save outfits. Although the most challenging, I love finding designer lookalikes for less. The inspiration behind today’s theme is this crazy warm weather.

In that spirit, I wanted to share a date night look that is perfect for this transitioning to cooler temperatures weather. A little wear now outfit inspiration: no fall layers here! Without further ado, here is a fall date night outfit: splurge vs. save edition.
