Friday Five

Happy Friday everyone! It is officially semester break for me and I couldn't be more excited for some much needed relaxation. Above are a few things I was loving this week. If you read my Birthday post then you probably remember that my mom got me a kate spade maise! To say that I'm obsessed with it would be a bit of an understatement. It has such a classic and chic look to it, goes with just about everything, and is WAY bigger than it looks! I was so shocked at how much room it really has, you couldn't by looking at it! It is definitely becoming one of my favorite pieces. 

Home Alone is hands down my favorite Christmas movie. And I'm not the least bit ashamed to say I've watched it at least five times since Thanksgiving (if not more) and who knows how many more times I'll watch it by the time Christmas rolls around (which reminds me, it's only two weeks away!! It's getting scary how quickly time has been moving lately, is it just me?). 

A few weeks ago I finally caved in and got myself the ever-so-popular plaid blanket scarf. And it does not disappoint, it definitely a fall/winter staple piece that everyone should be getting their hands on! If you're a Bravo fan, you definitely need to pick up Andy Cohen's new book The Andy Cohen Diaries. It's hilarious, and if you're a Real Housewives junkie like I am, you will love all of the little behind the scenes tid-bit's. And lastly, if you weren't aware by now, Lilly Pulitzer newly sells candles! I planned on buying one for my mom (aka me) for Christmas but after finding them in my local Dillards and seeing how adorable they are and how good they sell, I couldn't wait!

Gift Guide For Him

If only us girls were as easy to please when it comes to gifting as men. If your boyfriend is anything like mine, he's probably told you at least a million times now that he doesn't want you buying him anything. Silly boys, don't they understand that as girls it is in our nature to shop for them? He's probably my favorite person to shop for. Christmas is the time to buy gifts for you man that he usually wouldn't buy for himself.

You can't go wrong with a Ralph Lauren Pullover or a hoodie of the college he goes to/favorite sports team. Simple, practical and you steal them to wear for yourself, I'd say it's a win win. My boyfriend's dad got him a beer-making kit for Christmas last year and he absolutely loved it, definitely something I know I can gift every year. My boyfriend is always talking about how awesome he thinks my LifeProof case is, but never wants to spend the money to get one for himself. 

A guy can always use a nice leather wallet, load it up with gift cards from his favorite restaurant and he is sure to love it. My number one go-to gift's are the ever popular, TV series (or a subscription to Netflix if he doesn't have one) and video games. You can't go wrong with either one.  

What are some things you'll be getting your man this year?
