In the last couple of weeks, I’ve gotten some emails and tweets about gift ideas for someone who happens to like all of the same things I do (well let me tell you up front, that your friends have good taste). So I thought I’d give you a look at my personal wish list this year (although this is ever-growing, especially because there’s no way I’ll receive all of these things in one holiday season).
But really all I’m asking for this Christmas is…
Holiday season after holiday season, we are bombarded with sequins and dresses (and sequin dresses) and there’s only so much you can do with either. I was feeling inspired yesterday after this feature on SheFinds (not just because I was included…shameless plug). Dressing up for the holidays can either be intimidating or super fun. The fun part happens when you think outside of the box. And what’s more outside the box than a Christmas pudding suede and patent leather clutch?
I never really understood the point of waiting in a line very late at night/way too early in the morning, in the freezing cold to get something discounted at even more of a discount…while possibly getting in a physical fight with some fellow shoppers. Why wait in line when you can shop from the comfort of your own home? Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday…it’s all the same really.
So if you’re like me and don’t do crowds but still appreciate a great deal, here’s a look at my favorite sales going on today/this weekend.
Ah, it’s that time of the year again. The one day where you can consume close to 3,000 calories (in one meal) and it’s completely acceptable. Where you feast at that awkward time that’s too late for lunch but way too early for dinner. And as much as you love pumpkin, you’re probably sick of it by the time you go to bed…but you’ll still get a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte in the AM.
Yes, it’s Thanksgiving.
I realize it’s barely Thanksgiving and I’m already talking Christmas, but let’s be honest…there were Christmas decorations at Walgreens October 1 so I think I’ve held in my holiday cheer long enough. One of my favorite ways to show holiday spirit is by sporting an ugly Christmas sweater. Now why would I want to wear anything ugly? Because ugly is the new pretty. Except when it comes to this.
