Black Friday Deals | 2014

If you’re anything like me, you like to have a game plan going into black friday. My main priority is finding out what deal everyone is offering and how long the deal lasts. Next, I scout out what I want to buy before the deals start, that way I can shop around for the best price. Finally, I like to write out a list of people I plan on buying presents for and potential gift ideas for them. That way they are fresh in your mind when you are browsing the sales!

In honor of black friday, today’s post is dedicated to the deals I think are worth checking out this black friday!

Top Gifts for Her (Or You!) | 2014

What women want– that’s a mystery men have been trying to figure out for centuries! I don’t think this topic is something I can easily sum up in a blog post, but I’m here to help you answer “what women want for christmas“!

I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but my Christmas shopping is already off to a strong start! Some of you might roll your eyes, but I live for this time of the year! I just love shopping for the perfect gift. It can be a lot of work, but nothing beats finding the ultimate gift that puts a smile on their face.

Below, I pulled together a complete collection of amazing gifts for any girl in your life. It’s important to keep in mind that every girl is different and therefore you need to pick a gift that suits her personality. Try using the collage below as inspiration. For example, accessories are a great gifting option (no sizing!), so maybe you decide to buy mittens. If your girl is a little funky, the bear mittens below would be perfect! But, if your girl is more classic, maybe a plaid print or leather gloves would be better. I love to get inspiration for ideas from the internet and then tailoring them to fit my friends and family.

Use this list to get you started, you do still have over a month until Christmas! 🙂 Love an item below? Share in the comments!

The Grown-up Backpack

If you haven’t noticed, backpacks aren’t just for school buses anymore! They are not only the trendy new carryall, but also a practical accessory. I forgot how great backpacks were until I bought one to tote around this summer- they are great for day trips to the park, commuting to work or weekend trips! And don’t worry; there are more options than princesses and ninja turtles. Backpacks are now the chic accessory, coming in leather, studded and fringed! Below are a ton of trendy options that can take you from work to weekend!
