Dressing Room Diaries – January, 2018

I decided to go to the mall the other day and quickly realized why I do most of my shopping online. I tend to get super high anxiety around crowds of people but luckily the Pats were playing the Jaguars so, it was quiet (yay sports!) Also, it’s amazing how many things are cheaper online than in the store. How do these brick and mortars expect to stay in business?!?

Since, there’s so many good deals here, I wanted to put all my try-ons in one post making it super easy to shop. Click on each picture to see the details. So, come on in to the dressing room with me!

OLD NAVY

AMERICAN EAGLE

TARGET

LOFT

And there you have it! Thanks for shopping along with me…until next time!

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Love is in the air, can you feel it? Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and whether you’re married, in a relationship, or just in love with tacos, it’s a day to celebrate and appreciate love. Luckily, if you’re in a relationship with tacos, you don’t have to break a sweat thinking of gifts due to the fact that tacos typically don’t like gifts. Since, I struggle every year finding a gift for my boyfriend, I figure others do as well. So, I put together a few ideas to help you gals out and all are under $50!

If you’d like to go the handmade route, I made this for my boyfriend a couple years ago and he still reads it often. I took a deck of 52 playing cards and printed out a bunch of cute text messages. I then taped each message on a playing card and hole punched a hole at the top of each card. Finally, I took a piece of yarn and tied it all together! This was incredibly time consuming but definitely worth the effort!

Next up, if you’re looking for some ideas for your galentine or just to reward yourself for being so dang awesome, here’s a couple ideas under $55.

Create Your Own Stitch Fix (for less!) – Holiday Edition

I forgot to do one of these last month but I’m back again with a holiday edition! As you may know, I love Stitch Fix but feel their pricing can be more affordable. So, each month (or every other month,) I find 5 items to create a “fix” with all Stitch Fix brands at lower prices. If you’ve missed my previous “create your own stitch fix” posts, you can read the latest one here.

First up, is a more casual look with a bit of holiday flair! Pair the Honey Punch sweatshirt with the Kut from the Kloth jeans and Dolce Vita booties. Then add a touch of class with the Gorjana earrings and Street Level purse and your holiday look’s complete!

Honey Punch Sweatshirt – $29.99
Kut from the Kloth Jeans – $52.90
Dolce Vita Booties – $44.99
Gorjana Earrings – $18.97
Street Level Bag – $26.99
TOTAL: $173.84

This next “fix” is a bit dressier. If you have an upcoming holiday party, either of these looks would work perfectly. You can pair the Kut from the Kloth dress with the Street Level velvet clutch and Nine West heels. If you’re not in the mood for a dress, the Bobeau convertible top can be worn off the shoulder or on the shoulder and paired with the Liverpool pants, Street Level clutch and Nine West heels.

Kut from the Kloth Dress – $40.99
Urban Expressions Clutch – $19.97
Liverpool Ponte Pants – $62.99
Bobeau Convertible Top – $34.84
Nine West Heels – $26.99

FOR HER

Boot Cuffs – These look super cute under booties and also double as warmers. Comes in a pack of 8 so, you can stuff a lot of stockings!

Nail Polish Holder – I don’t know about you but, whenever I paint my nails, the polish goes all over the table and it’s not a cute scene. This holder keeps the polish upright and prevents it from spilling!

Alpha Bar Pendant Necklace – Easily personalize this necklace by changing the initial. This is a great little gift at just $10!

iPhone Case – No words really needed here, this is just gorgeous!

Stila Lipsticks – Every makeup lover needs a few lipsticks to add to their collection.

Sugarfina Champagne Bears – Champagne. Gummy Bears. Any questions?

FOR HIM

Beard and Moustache Comb – Help tame the facial hair of the rugged men in your life with this beard and moustache comb. Also comes with a bonus balmstick (don’t ask me what that is!)

Gingerbread Socks – Literally stockings for your stocking! How cute is that gingerbread print, though??

Slippers – Real men wear slippers!

Skin Care Set – My boyfriend loves taking care of skin so, this kit would be great to throw in his stocking!

FOR THE KIDS

Bag of Reindeer Farts Cotton Candy – Your kids (and possibly spouse) will get a kick out of this cotton candy!

Girls Slippers – Is there a little girl in the World who doesn’t want glitter in their stocking?

Disney Princesses – Instead of picking just one Princess, give the give of 6 because you can never have too many princesses!

Let’s Go Fishin’ Game – This brought back so many memories! I used to play this game all the time especially on long car rides! For less than $7, this is a no brainer!

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles – Since the big Hatchimals are still pretty tough to come across, these smaller ones would make a great alternative! Less than $10!

Ultimate Gift Guide For Men

I don’t know about you but, I would personally rather eat a jar full of mayonnaise than shop for a man. There just never seems like there’s a lot of options nor do men seem like they ever “need” anything. So, when you feel like pulling your hair out shopping for your dad, husband, brother, etc., I hope this guide provides you with some relief (and saves those hair follicles of yours!)

I tried to incorporate gifts for every type of man I could think of. There’s the sports lover, the golf lover, the beer drinker, the chef, and the well dressed man. All items are less than $100! Make sure to hit the “arrow” button to see all of the items.
