15 Under $25 :: Holiday Gifts

Can you believe Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK?! I somehow didn't realize that until, hmm, about noon today, and just about fell out of my chair when someone pointed out we only work 3 days next week. The holidays didn't just sneak up on me this year, they pretty much punched me in the face. Even Halloween was like "surprise playa, you have to go to a party tomorrow and you don't have a costume!" Ugh. 

We all know what comes after Thanksgiving... shopping! And yes, it's stressful, but it can be fun if you do it right. 

Below I've put together a list of 15 gifts under $25 for the stylish people in your life. I already know who I'd gift these to! 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15

P.S. - Thoughts on the new layout? It's still under construction-ish. I'll be tweaking it until I'm happy with it, but expect some more changes! Your feedback is uber important to me, so don't be afraid to leave comments. Even you, anonymous!

Monday Morning Motivation

Great words no matter what your focus is in life. 

I'm a marketer so this especially rings true for my career path. I LOVE what I do and am so blessed to say I am excited to come into work each and every day! 

Happy Monday, we have a wonderful week ahead of us! What do you have planned?

Skull Chic

1 - Bing Bang earrings / $42
2 - Zara necklace / $20
3 - Toms shoes / $100
4 - Topshop shirt / $64
5 - Z Gallerie skull objet / $15
6 - 291 sweatshirt / $107
7 - ASOS bag / $66 (on sale!)

Disclaimer: I didn't include anything from Alexander McQueen because I think we all know he was and always will be the king of skull. Carry on. 

Halloween is long gone, but you can still incorporate skulls into your wardrobe without looking like you're in costume. I know this trend has been around for a long time, long enough for it to trickle down to stores like Lulus and F21, but you can still make it look trendy and not tacky. I, for one, love the edginess it gives an outfit - and certain "IDGAF" if you will.

I've been feeling particularly rebellious lately (thinking about tattoos, piercings, etc.) but perhaps a safer (and non-permanent) way to be a little more edgy would be to just add some skulls to my wardrobe? I think yes.

W2WW :: Just Kidding

This is how the weather feels in Hotlanta today. Cold and rainy and windy and yucky. My puppy is sick and won't sleep and I am tired. So no W2WW today.

Hugs and kisses,

Happy Monday. Can we survive another workweek? HELL YES!

To the Shore

Adios, y'all!

I'm off to Gulf Shores for the weekend to celebrate the Blue Angels and my grandpa's time spent in the Navy. 

More coming up next week, including a possible redesign of the blog... hmm, intrigued? I am. 

Have a wonderful weekend,

xoxo
