BaubleBar @ Target

//1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10//

Get out your RED cards, because Target has done it again!! Y'all, this is seriously a game changer.. Target has brought BaubleBar to their store!! Not only does this make me extremely happy, but my wallet is rejoicing as well because all of this is under $20! My local Target does not have it in store yet, but I was able to purchase some of these beauties online. These colors are a perfect way to get your Spring wardrobe started. I've linked some of my favorites above (and below)!

Life Update: Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've been radio silent on all of my social media lately. Graduate school has been kicking my butt lately! But I'm happy to say, I have two classes left and will be graduating in August!!

 // Michael Kors Watch // Ray-Ban Sunnies // Magnolia Story // Monogram Necklace // Lumee Phone Case //

It's another Festive Friday! It's all about us girls today! All of these items listed above are on my Christmas List this year. We are getting so close to Christmas and time is ticking to get the those gifts here before the 25th. If your loved ones have no idea what to get you this year, help them out! I always send links to websites for items that I want to my husband by text every year. I try to make it as easy as possible for him because the holidays can be stressful and for a man who doesn't like to shop, the last thing he wants to do is walk around a department store without a clue of what to buy. So help your guy out a little this year and send him sizes, pictures, and websites!

First up the infamous Clare V. Calf Hair clutch. What can I say, I love anything that resembles leopard print. I just can't help it!

I am a huge fan of Ugg, and these slippers just look so cozy! Perfect for taking the dog out, or running outside to grab the newspaper. If you are an Instagram lover, you've probably seen every style blogger wearing one (or three!) of these David Yurman cuffs. They are a little pricey, but could be very versatile. Another versatile item would be these GORGEOUS Tory Burch flats. These cuties would transition right into Spring beautifully! 

I actually have a Patagonia zip up very similar to one listed above. I highly recommend Patagonia and this half zip pullover is great. I'm always drawn to white fleece for some reason. One of the top gift on my list is this Michael Kors Bluetooth Smart Watch. I've been wanting a rose gold watch for some time now. If you've never heard of this watch before, watch the video on the link I provided. 

Who doesn't need a great new pair of sunglasses? I LOVE these Ray-Bans! Plus, they are another great piece to transition into Spring! Okay, when I grow up I want to be Joanna Gains. Seriously, I love her and Chip and Fixer Upper. I really want to read their new book. I can see myself wrapped up in a blanket this holiday diving into this book! I feel like every Southern girl loves Joanna Gains and Monograms! I know I do. I have several monogram necklaces, but I really like the font of this particular one. Also, I don't have a gold monogram necklace!

Last on my list is a new phone case. Not just any phone case, but a selfie lover's dream phone case. The Lumme case has lighting around the front of the screen to make that perfect selfie lighting just right!

I am two days in on the new #DecemberWearWhatWhere Style Challenge on Instagram! If you'd like to play along all you have to do is follow the host that are listed at the bottom of the image and create an outfit that goes along with what ever the day's theme is. Lastly, make sure you hashtag your photo with #decemberwearwhatwhere So easy and so fun! You could also win some awesome prizes!! 

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Movie Guide

// Pajama bottoms // Holiday pillows {similar}//

It's a sick day for me today. So that means nothing but pajamas, Starbucks, and Christmas movies to shake this headache away! There is nothing that I love more than Christmas time, especially Christmas movies! I seriously watch them year round (don't judge me!). I've rounded up some of my all time favorite Christmas movies for y'all!

1. Elf

Who doesn't love this movie?! I'm a sucker for anything that has Will Ferrell in it and I love Zooey Deschanel too! This movie runs on repeat in my house. 

2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Duh! My absolute favorite part of teaching was when it was Christmas time and I could make all my lessons Grinch themed. I actually saw the musical a few years back and it was AH-Mazing! If it comes near your town, you have to go!

3.The Santa Claus

This is a childhood favorite. I used to love watching Tim Allen on Home Improvement so I obviously love this movie too. This movie is a classic to me.

4. Hallmark Channel

I realize that this is not a movie, but the Hallmark Channel is KILLING it this year with all the new movie premiers! Any movie with Lacey Chabert in it good! Just to name a few.. A Royal Christmas and Matchmaker Santa are some of my favorites. Also, Candace Cameron Bure (aka DJ Tanner) has a TON of great movies on this channel as well. Let it Sow and Christmas Under Wraps are two favorites.

5. Rudolph 

Do I really need to go into details of why this is a must see? Probably not. But, If you live near Galveston, Texas, Moody Gardens has a short version of this movie in 4D! What's 4D? Well, you see the movie in 3D and they also have smells, snow, water and they even shake your seat some during the movie. We took my niece and nephew and they loved it (I did too!).

6. Four Christmases

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are perfect in this Christmas comedy! There is one part in the movie where Vince Vaughn's character is gagging and about to throw up (sounds gross, but it's hilarious) that I literally cry from laughing so hard.

7. Frosty the Snowman

This is another classic that does not need any convincing to watch. I love the classic Frosty movie, but there is one call Frosty Returns and it's super cute too!

8. Fred Claus

Okay, Vince Vaughn again. He and Will Ferrell are two of my favorite actors! Fred Claus is Santa Claus' brother that just does not have his life together. It's hilariously funny!

9. Little Women

I get that this is not really a Christmas movie, but every year growing up my mom and I would watch this at some point during Christmas break. If you have never seen this movie or read the book, you need to add this to the top of your to do list!

10. White Christmas

This is another classic movie that I remember playing on TV during my childhood. It's actually one of my mom's favorite movies. What's more Christmasy than Bing Crosby?

I'd love to hear some of your favorite holiday movies! Leave a comment below and share which ones you and your family love!

Festive Friday! Gift Guide--Gifts for Him

Jack Spade Wallet // Red Sox Cap // Siracha To-Go // Cashmere Beanie // L.L. Bean Slippers // Grooming Set // Patagonia Pullover  // Daniel Wellington Watch // Bottle Opener

Anyone else's husband/boyfriend/son/brother picky like mine? Here are some safe picks to buy this season for your the guy in your life. 

Every guy could use a new wallet right? This Jack Spade wallet is perfect and easy on your wallet! Hats are a pretty safe bet too. Go with either your guy's favorite team baseball cap or get him this Cashmere Beanie from Nordstrom. I'm always bugging my husband to take the dog out at all hours of the night and day, so these L.L. Bean slippers will be perfect to leave by the door. My husband really likes pullovers. So I'm definitely getting him this Patagonia pullover (I LOVE this color!). Just like wallets, every guy could use a watch upgrade! Daniel Wellington has some really great options. If you buy him one, he might just buy you one too! 

Stocking stuffers are my favorite, but my husband usually just likes the candy. But, I think it's a good idea to sneak a few things into the stocking that 1. he might need and 2. are funny. For things he might need, this Grooming Set is perfect and the key chain bottle opener. For funny, this To-Go Siracha is right on the money! Y'all, I don't know what it is about guys, but they love eating hot stuff!

I hope you were able to get a few ideas for the guy in your life!
