Cyber Monday Sales

Happy Monday lovelies! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I know we enjoyed a long vacation from work, spending a lot of time with family, and of course, eating tons of delicious food! Quickly on the heels of Thanksgiving was the start of the retail frenzy leading up to Christmas. K and I were out shopping Thursday evening and again Friday afternoon. It was a much less rushed feeling than in years past, which we appreciated. Following shopping, we pulled out all our Christmas decor and decked the halls Saturday. Finally, on Sunday we wrapped all our goodies from shopping the days earlier and enjoyed a Netflix marathon. 

Today we are back to work and it is a bit of a drag. Luckily, today is also the magical day of online super sales, guaranteed to aid in the completion of your holiday shopping: it's Cyber Monday! I have put together a little synopsis of the discounts happening around the interweb as well as a few of the items I have already picked up for the holidays. While you are shopping, don't forget to keep an eye out for holiday party apparel and little gifts for stocking stuffers too, both of which I will be talking about in upcoming posts. Good luck and have fun shopping!

His & Hers Gift Guides

I don't want to panic anyone, but Christmas is a month away. Say what?? Yep, only 30 days away, crazy right?! It's even beginning to feel a lot like Christmastime. We received our first real snow in the motor city this past week and with Black Friday on the horizon, I am just buzzing with excitement! Christmas is my favorite time of the year; I love the bustle of the crowds, the spreading of good will, and the joy of celebrating the reason for the season! I must also confess that I am one of those crazy people who is almost done with their shopping. Giving gifts is by far one my favorite part of the holidays and I have been plotting and planning and shopping for months now. Next is wrapping, ribboning, and bowing, an OCD person's pinnacle of bliss. But before I get too carried away, I thought I would share some of my favorite things to buy (and in some cases, receive). 

To start, gifts for him. I think guys are always harder to shop for than girls because they are actually really simple and we tend to overthink it. I tend to follow three general rules: can he play with it, will he wear it, and does he already use it. Pretty simple, right? First, boys like toys - electronics, movies, tools, and the like, are all things that guys get abnormally excited about, we don't have to get it, we just need to know it. Next, most guys are hopeless when it comes to shopping for themselves and rely on their partners to select and even purchase their clothing and accessories for them. Christmas is the perfect time to do this without having to drag him along complaining as you find pieces to replace or fill his closet. Lastly, is it something he already has or uses, again, really simple. Guys will use their stuff until it falls apart. Look for items that could use replacing - chipped coffee mug, worn wallet, scuffed belt, or items that he may enjoy a little higher end version of like shaving lotions and grooming tools.

mug | regimen kit | flashlight | sweater | travel case | tie | french press | chrome cast | wallet | bbq tools

grooming cream | slippers | beer glass set | headphones | grooming kit | measuring tape | hat | pajamas

scarf | belt | messenger bag | watch | flask | gloves | socks

For the special ladies in my life, I like to find gifts that they may not be inclined to buy themselves because they are busy taking care of all the other people in their lives. We all know women like this, they care about their family and friends and often put them first. The ones that always take your calls, make your coffee date chats last hours, dance with you til dawn, and wipe away your tears; your persons. Pamper and spoil these girls that are always there when you need them, time and time again, all year long with some comfy pj's and a pair of slippers, some gorgeous beauty products, or jewelry. Look for luxe finishes, rich textures, and anything gold to brighten her holiday season!

jewelry tray | lip gloss set | bow bracelet | knit blanket | mug | notebook | perfume | curling wand 
slippers | nail polish | yes please | mittens | pajamas | earrings | watch | philosophy set | socks | ring dish | rings | candle | handbag


Happy shopping this holiday season!

J.Crew Factory Sale

There is nothing I love more than a good sale. Actually. Scratch that. There is nothing I love more than a good sale on sparkly things! With the holiday season right around the corner, I nearly squealed with delight when I saw the newest arrivals at J.Crew Factory this week - tons of glitter, metallics, and sequins. I was already penning an epic lust list when news of the 50% off sale reached my inbox this morning. I can't wait for these pumps to show up, I am already planning on all the ways I can pair them through the new year! Below are some of my other favorites, take advantage of the sale now and start planning your festive outfits too.
