Gift Guide: Ladies

I think shopping for women can be a very daunting task for men... I mean if you were to ask Steven, he would probably tell you that I don't need any more shoes and that I have clothes all over the place which leaves jewelry. (He did very good this year!! David Yurman bracelet <3) But we all know, a women can never have too may shoes...

I decided to split this gift guide up by types of women: Edgy. Classic. Boho.

Gift Guide: Boyfriend

Tis the season! I am so proud of myself this year... I got all of my Christmas shopping done prior to December even starting... and we are talking wrapped with a bow, ready to go. Done.

It is always a challenge to think about what to get loved ones for the holiday's and the closer it gets to the 25th the more stressed out I become. If you are anything like me, everyone needs to have the perfect gift and you want them to be excited when they open it.

With that in mind, I decided to blog some gift ideas. We'll start with boyfriends or that person who would be completely clueless without you. My guy is a complete closet nerd... loves Star Wars but lets be real... I am not going to let him rock a Star Wars jacket around town. Knowing this I found a subtle and much more fashionable way to incorporate his interests this Christmas.

Watches... you can never go wrong with a nice watch. Below you will see a variety of styles depending on what your main man is into...

(Business Man: Ted Baker London Caspers Watch- Best Deal found on Nordstrom $165; Casual Man: Nixon Sentry SS Star Wars Watch in Vader Black- Best Deal found on Brandco $274.95; Outdoor Man: RipCurl Rifles Tide Watch- Best Deal found on RealWaterSports $125)

Okay now that I am super bummed on the Star Wars watch featured above... (would have been perfect for Steven!)  Let's move on to another cool gift idea for men.

Subscriptions... I have always thought it would be cool to sign someone up to a monthly type of subscription for 3 or 4 months depending on the price. Below are a few gift box subscriptions that I think make great gifts.

(Bespoke Post:  $45/mo; Birchbox: $20/mo; Gizmo Crate: $64.50/mo)

Now let's get down to what I got Steven this year:

(Belts: Perry Ellis- TJ Maxx $19.99 each; Slippers- TJ Maxx $14.99, Hanky: Snotty Brat - Etsy Shop $9.99; Joes Jeans Brixton- Nordstrom Rack $79.97; Watch (yes its a real penny!): August Steiner Collectors Coin Watch- Overstock $37.99) 

What are you getting that special someone this year?

Geek Chic

My eyesight has been suffering at night time and I am slightly excited because soon I will be able to rock the "geek chic" look. I have always secretly wanted glasses but now I think I actually need them. Come the new year, I will be getting some new spectacles... I just can't decide what brand to get! Salt, Gucci, or Ray Ban... the possibilities are endless! I will let you know what I decide. Any reco's would be much appreciate! :)

Winter Ready

Although winter officially kicks off on December 21st, the weather has me feeling like it's crept in early this year... sipping on my peppermint tea in an over-sized sweater and yoga pants is by far the best. Enjoy your football Sunday! Cheers :)

Cute and Comfy Outfits for Thanksgiving

Let's be real, Thanksgiving is all about looking cute AND comfy as it is a full day intended for grubbing. If you are anything like me, I love to eat, and knowing this- I plan my outfit accordingly. I pass on wearing anything that screams tight and go for the my more "forgiving" options aka a dress, leggings, boyfriend jeans... you catch my drift.

Below are a few looks that inspired my outfit for this Thanksgiving (which I will post when I get it on!). Hope you all have an amazing day with friends and family <3
