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?

Birthday Weekend

I fell behind on posts again, sorry guys! I promise they will be more consistent! I turned the big 23 on Saturday. Birthday's aren't nearly as exciting after you pass up 21, no more exciting milestones, only ones that are a reminder of how old you're getting. I had an enjoyable and relaxing weekend with my family. Friday night, we had a little family get-together at my grandparents house. My mom bought me a kate spade Maise a few months ago, it has been so miserable waiting for it, but so worth it when I finally opened up that bag! She also surprised me with a new kate spade wristlet as well. It's safe to say it was a very kate spade birthday. Not complaining one bit. Saturday, my mom and I woke up early to head out to Grove City Outlets in PA. It was bitter cold and rainy out, but we got some hot deals! J. Crew Factory was having a 40%-60% everything sale and an extra 50% ticketed clearance prices this weekend. I picked up six shirts for $100! My mom and I finally took the plunge and opened up a J. Crew Card so we saved an additional 25%, definitely a steal! I also received a 20% off + free shipping promo code from J Crew for my birthday, so naturally I went home and ordered another two shirts. Shopping kicked my butt and I ended my birthday in bed by 11 o'clock. (did I turn 23, or 83?) It was definitely an enjoyable birthday! I'm excited to see what this next year holds for me! I linked all of my Birthday goodies for you to check out below!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

November Recap!

I apologize for the long, random, and unexpected hiatus! November was one hectic and crazy month, but the semester is finally winding down which means more time for blogging again. Life happened. I am so sorry guys, but I am back! 

The weekend before Thanksgiving was our Moot Court Regional Tournament. I locked myself up our Political Science Department's Conference Room, day in and day out. I basically lived there. No, unfortunately I'm not exaggerating. My school has an excellent Moot Court reputation (we are ranked #6 in the nation overall, and the #1 public university) so the pressure was definitely on. I was in a bit of a slump during the month of November so any down time I had was spent curled up in bed binge watching Gossip Girl. 

While the tournament didn't go as well as I planned, I saw a huge improve in myself and my confidence from last year, so I guess in the end that's what truly matters. It was nice to finally get back into my old routine once that was over, aka have a life again. Thanksgiving was much needed family time. Half of my family went to Cancun for the Holiday, so we spent it with my grandparents and my cousins that I don't see very often. My mom and I of course ended the day with Black Friday shopping. 

I can't believe it's finally December! I say this every month, but November REALLY flew by. Am I the one who thought so?! However, I couldn't be happier! So many exciting things are happening this month! My Birthday is on Saturday (!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK TO ME !!!), the semester is coming to a close, my boyfriend will finally be returning home for break, and of course, Christmas! With break right around corner, expect many posts to come! It feels so good to be back, I have missed you all!

Gift Guide Under $100

Can you believe that we are already halfway through November?! Now usually, I'm one to complain about how quickly the months have been going by, but I am not mad it about this time in the slightest. I am more than ready for December to get here! December is hands-down my favorite month as there's so much to look forward to. With that being said, the Gift Giving season is right around the corner. Trying to find the perfect gift can be quite a headache. I put together a little gift guide below (all under $100 so you don't break your wallet) for your mom, aunt, best friend, etc! Keep an eye out for a Gift Guide for the boyfriends soon!

Winter Wishlist

Happy Thursday everyone! Today marks officially one month until my birthday! What better way to celebrate that than sharing with you all a birthday/Christmas/winter wishlist? My mom has already finished most of my birthday/Christmas shopping and unfortunately I know mostly everything I'm getting due to the fact she now feels the need to take me with her. But what would a birthday/Christmas be without a few surprises?! Plus, I love making my own personal list of things I'd to like to treat myself to with any money I receive!  I stumpled across this new website called Tisket that allows you to create this carousel with all of your fashion finds! I decided to give it a try rather than my usual Polyvore! Let me know what you think!

Side Note: I'm so excited that I finally figured out how to verify my blog onto my Pinterest! Follow me! I love finding new accounts to follow. What are a few things on your Christmas list this year?

Wisdom Wednesday

Hi everyone! Today's post is a short and simple, straight to the point one. I've been going through a rough patch these last few weeks. Whenever things really start to get me down, I head to my "Words To Remember" board on Pinterest. A few inspiration quotes can really get you out of the worst of funk. I've shared with you all below a few of my favorites, hopefully they'll help out someone else who may be having a rough week or day! xoxo
