| GIFT GUIDE FOR HER- STUFF HER STOCKING: |

holiday season is approaching. like quick.  when did it become mid-november?  i'm starting to see gift guides on all my favorite sites so i figured why not get a head start?  hope you all have a great week. xo

1. madewell always makes the best scarfs; this oversized plaid one is cozy and chic all at the same time.
2. sugar paper at target? stop.  this 2015 calendar is dreamy.  it makes me want to be the most organized gal out there.  stuff her stocking with any of the sugar fish x target and it's sure to be a hit. 
3. i'm a note taker, list maker...if it's not written down it's not getting done, kind of girl.  most of my girlfriends are like this too.  this smythson notebook is small enough to fit in most bags and stylish enough to whip out anywhere.
4. ok. stop. this is so cute and any gal who likes makeup even a smidge will die over this benefit advent calendar. it comes with all the benefit favs and the packaging is adorable so skip the wrapping.
5. i'm a sucker for cute sayings + words on accessories.  these old navy gloves may not be the warmest gloves but they are darn cute and perfect for a cool night in california.
6. girls love their tumblrs and recyclable mugs: or is it just me?  i could never have enough.  this j.crew reusable water bottle is the perfect size for a quick workout and is dishwasher safe!
7. ok. this shirt does make me happy!  this megan lee design shirt come in different states with cute sayings.  roll it up and stuff it in the bottom of the stocking ;)
8. kate spade makes the sweetest, daintiest products and this business card holder is thin enough to throw in the smallest clutch and get your network on. 
9. i really love deborah lippmann polishes: they are such a great quality and her polishes contain no toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor or DBP and no animal testing. this mini set is perfect for the holidays.
don't forget the candy and a bux card ;)

NEIMANS + TARGET

Dec 1. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

"Target has just one-upped itself with the announcement of its newest collaboration: the mass market retailer will be teaming with Neiman Marcus for a limited-edition holiday collection designed by a whopping 24 CFDA designers. Participating designers for the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection features an impressive designer list ranging from our favorite sportswear designers to red carpet connoisseurs: Carolina Herrera, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta,Tory Burch, Alice + Olivia, Altuzarra, Band of Outsiders, Brian Atwood, Eddie Borgo, Judith Leiber, Lela Rose, Marchesa, Philip Crangi, Prabal Gurung, Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, Robert Rodriguez, Rodarte, Skaist Taylor, Thom Browne, and Tracy Reese.

Each of the 24 designers have designed one to three items each, but don't expect it to be all about the clothing. Categories span from apparel (women's, men's, and children's) to home decor, electronics, and even pet accessories. The line will also include 50 limited-edition gifts and will be priced from $8 to $500. However, expect most items to retail for less than $60. The collection, launching in all Target stores and online at both Target.com and NeimanMarcus.com, will be available Dec. 1. And on a feel-good note, Target and Neiman Marcus have donated a total of one million dollars to celebrate the exciting venture. No doubt, this is the ultimate designer(s) collaboration of 2012"- Source: PopSugar & WWD

Winter Whites

I'm so sick of hearing the whole "it's past Labor Day you shouldn't be wearing those white jeans" rant.  I love seeing whites worn in the winter and love a white pair of jeans post Labor Day / mid December worn with a cute pair of Frye or Hunter boots.

Lifesavers- the bathroom addition:

There are some mornings I am so tired I don't even know how I function.  Thankfully, my brain is on auto pilot when it comes to my daily regimen & daily go-to items. 
I don't mind splurging on beauty products, after all, I use them daily.  BUT I also swear by certain drug store brands that have proven to be better than any brand at a Barney's counter.  So below, you'll find cheap, expensive, and everything in-between.....
