Gift Ideas For Her | Under $60

Today I wanted to share a few gift ideas for the ladies.  Most of these are actually personal favorites that I own and love.  Best part they are all under $60!


Gifts Under $60


This baby is only $19.  I showed it on here before in the solid color but it is now out in 4 stripe options.  I wearing the small.  Also in several solid color options here.  This tee is great alone or layered.

One of my favorite face masks.   Your skin feels amazing after and I love that the fact that it is 100% natural no weird chemicals.  It also smells so good!
These are the softest thing ever!!!  

I have the plaid version, which I think are so fun for Christmas!  I am wearing a size small for reference:) 

Another loungewear favorite.  This is the robe I showed yesterday.  It comes in several color options and I like that it is not too heavy.

I am obsessed with these Chanel lip colors.  They are a hybrid between lipstick and gloss and they really stay on all day.  I have three colors : Rose, Milky Blueberry and Tender Beige.

These earrings make such a great gift for under $40.  They are not heavy at all unlike so many other earrings.  I probably wear this blush color the most often because it goes with so many outfits.



I especially like this maroon shorter version for the holidays.
This candle smells amazing and I love how pretty it looks sitting out.  I lit mine last week and forgot how good it smells, my whole house smelled festive. 
These are the coziest socks ever.  Sterling actually is always stealing mine he loves them so much.  These would also make great stocking stuffers.  

For the price ($29) the quality of this scarf is amazing.   The size is really large and the material is so nice.  I love the colors too perfect for Fall.  



I wear this scarf often.  Here I paired it with the best Moto leggings (under $40).


This is the cutest wine coaster.  Such a great gift paired with a good bottle of wine!
Yes please!  This one I don't actually own but I love it.  It also comes in 2 other glitter colors.
These are my go to work out leggings and they are now out in a full length version! I really like the navy.

This sweater is only $40.  I own the green and my sister bought the tan.  We love the length and fit.
I am wearing the tan color here.

My sister ordered these gummies as a treat for us girls before our trip to NYC.  They were so good.  These are also great stocking stuffers.

I just ordered this for myself.  I love a gorgeous cookbook and this one is just that filled with beautiful recipes for food and cocktails.   This would make a great gift for anyone who loves to entertain.

Fun and festive glasses! 


All these fabulous gifts are from Nordstrom.  Nordstrom always offers free shipping and returns and they price match as well!

Scenes From Our Weekend

Hello Monday morning.  
We had a fun filled weekend and even got a head start on decorating for Christmas! 

Thursday I headed to Lee Lee's Hot Kitchen for lunch.  If you love Chinese food it is a must!  

I love their dumplings.  The sauce that they are served with is so good.  
We also had the salt and pepper chicken and ginger beef.   We liked the ginger beef best because it had more sauce and flavor than the chicken.

Friday morning was spent at the gym.   This twist front tee is the best to toss on when it's chilly!


This sweet guy is growing up so fast.

Friday night I headed out to an event and dinner with girlfriends.

Saturday mornings I love slowing down a bit.  It is nice to sleep in (and by sleep in I mean til 7:30- ha)  and just sit and enjoy my coffee after rushing around all week.  I bought this robe after my sister in law had the same one in NYC.  It is so comfy and comes in several different colors. 

The weather was dreary and cold all the weekend so the kids talked me into getting our Christmas decorations out.  They were so excited.  I love how much they love Christmas because I remember being the same way as a child- heck I still love Christmas!
Several people asked about Frances Moon's dress and it is from HERE.  She is princess obsessed:)

Saturday night I made oven roasted tomato soup for dinner.  I will post the recipe on here soon.  Roasting the tomatoes brought out so much flavor!

Sunday it was rainy and so cold.  We went to church and then hung around the house.  It was all about comfort and warmth!  My sweater, scarf and leggings are under $40.
I even let the kid's go ahead and build a gingerbread house just to keep them occupied.  They actually did a really great job although 3 hours later it fell apart.  I think they need to make the house part not as dense because the icing can't hold it together.  

I was craving Mexican pizza so we made homemade ones with this recipe.   They were so good!  I left the tomatoes and onions off the kid's pizza.  

Major love for this fringe sweater.  It is 40% off right now with code FRIENDS.  I am wearing a size small.

Have a great start to your week.

Weekend Style + Best Deals

Happy Saturday!  
Last night I headed out for a trunk show and dinner with some girlfriends.
I noticed my vince sweater that I wore is now on sale.  I own it in black and gray. It is so soft and such a classic sweater to add to your closet.  It is a great length and it works well with leggings too.   I am wearing the small.


I have been really loving plaid this Fall.  I bought this plaid blouse at LOFT this week and it's a real winner.  They are currently running their Friends and Family event so everything is 40% off with code FRIENDS.  I am wearing a size small.  Thinking I may wear it for Thanksgiving.  

I also really liked these few pieces I tried on.  
I am wearing a small this would be so cute with booties or heels.

I am wearing an XS this ran on the large side.
I am wearing a small XS/S.

................................................................
I ordered these plaid pj's for Christmas and I was so excited when they arrived.  They are super soft and come in a few other colors.  I am wearing the small. 

................................................
Gigi New York is offering 20% off this weekend.
I love uber clutch, it is such a good size.  I have the Driftwood color and it is a great neutral.

I also love this cross body.  


Happy Saturday and Happy Shopping!

Beauty Buzz

With the holidays right around the corner (Christmas is only 44 days away!) so many stores are releasing some really awesome beauty sets.  They are such a great deal and a great way to try several colors/scents at once.  

Beauty Buzz
Two personal favorites that I ordered for myself are these 2 Beauty Counter sets. 

This set contains 4 colors and they are all gorgeous.  
I tried every single gloss on and all the colors are amazing although the red is my favorite!  Perfect for the holidays.


The colors in this set are stunning.  There is so much you can do with this set.  This set is only $58 which is such a steal for all these colors.  It contains eyeshadow, blush, bronzer and eyeliner.
The palette also comes in this Winter Warm Set as well.
Another BC set that is an awesome deal.  The body butter and body scrub are two of my favorites from the line.  
This is a great way to try out all the scents.  You could also separate these sets and use a candle with another gift.  This could make a great teacher gift separated and paired with something else. 
Another great candle set.  These Nest holiday scents are my favorite.  I ordered this set because I love all these scents for the holidays.  

You save almost $100 by buying this set.  
I swear by the Chanel eye liner and mascara,  they are all I use.  
This is a great deal it is valued at $149 but only $50!  This would be great for everyday or for a killer smokey eye at night.
This is another great Bobbi Brown set.  I always love her colors. These look like they would be flattering on everyone.

I love all the Glam Glow masks (yes I am a mask junkie).  These are really great and leave your skin super refreshed.  
So many great colors!
I use my Beauty Counter Charcoal Mask once a week.  It gets really tight on your face and then when you wash it your skin feels super smooth.  I also use it as spot treatment for zits.  
This may be the best deal of all.  This retails for $100 but is $25.  This would make a great stocking stuffer or you could even open the box and separate the lip glosses and tie them to gifts.

This retails for $120 but is now $54!  I love the gold glitter handles.  Sephora is also running their Beauty Insider sale so you can save even more!

I love these Nest diffusers.  I usually put them in our bathrooms and they smell so good!  These make awesome hostess gifts too!
I love all Tata Harper products, especially her resurfacing mask.  This is a great way to try them all out.
