I wasn’t in the mood this year to do a big Black Friday post; I will be honest with you. That was until I woke up this morning and saw the gigantic savings to be had. It gets better and better each year. I swear. I mean….60% off at Nordstrom. You cannot beat that!
Read MoreWinter is here. The first snow has fallen. My girls were thrilled as I took a deep breath and exhaled thinking about muddy boots, wet paws and all the layers we will now be forced to wear. Sorry for the melancholy. It really is very pretty. It just seems so soon!
Read MorePeople often joke that Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday. By and large…it is but why not enjoy it for what it is? I've never met a gal who didn't swoon over pink and red accessories or, for that matter, a guy who didn't enjoy the excuse to eat a fancy dinner out. Like I said, what's not to love?
Well, pucker up buttercup because I took my clan to Woodfield Mall last weekend to round up a quick and easy gifting guide for the ladies and the gents. My oh-so-helpful assistants were on a mission to make everyone happy at just about every price point. <Starbucks' cake pops sweetened the deal>
Read MoreI never really made it around to creating big Black Friday and Cyber Monday posts. Life was just too busy and we hosted Thanksgiving which means practically no laptop time. I'm okay with that. Instead, I've converted my "Tuesday Loves" to "The Big Gifting Guide" leading up to Christmas.
Read MoreGift giving has arrived my friends! When I think of the items I use daily, the absolute necessities in life, they are often brilliant inventions that have a practical function in my life. Believe it or not, they aren't shoes or dresses, they're items that help me function as a parent, a host, an entertainer...you know, an overall renaissance woman of sorts. Totally kidding!
Read More"Let's do beautiful work together." That's the motto of Luxily Boutique Box, a monthly subscription box filled with gorgeously curated items fit to make any female in your life special. I received my first this week and I am over the moon about how beautifully it was packaged and how unique every item was...which is different than ALL the subscription boxes out there. This one felt special. As if my bestie had hand selected each item specific to my likes and lifestyle.
The colors alone warranted an audible squeal on my part as I opened up my box!
Read MoreWhen it comes to my stocking, I thoroughly appreciate a good beauty haul. I don't get to Sephora often but when I do, it feels like birds are circling my head and an angel choir cues up. It's my personal heaven complete with scents, colors, smart packaging, handy tools and more. In a sentence: I get lost. Hand me a cup of coffee and we're really talking!
Read MoreLet's hear it for the boys! Last week I armed with you special prezzies for your pooch. This week we're thinking of your BAE. Seven masculine gifts that are fashionable and functional. Just how he likes it. Think affordable, too ranging from One Kings Lane to J.Crew. Sorry gals, my "one for me, one for you" does not apply this round. Don't fret though, I'll be covering your BFF next Tuesday!
Read MoreHey guys. Today's post has a more serious tone but I wanted to end it on a positive note. Meet my pup Lucy. She's actually turning 11 pretty soon. These pics were from her first week with me when I lived in the city. She's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen as far as puppies go. Sorry...#notsorry.
