I am SO ready for Thanksgiving this week and can't believe the year is almost over. I'm starting to get in the holiday spirit and have been making lists of what I can get people for Christmas. I put together a list of ideas for the ladies in your life- your mom, sister, bestie, etc. My entire family besides my dad is a girl, so, I could use endless gift ideas around this time of year. FYI I finally learned how to label these photos with numbers, thank ya Jesus. And thanks to the girls I met in the Social Media with Style Workshop by Lauren aka my mom in the blog world. She is amazing, teaches you how to analyze everything about social media and if you're new to social media marketing and/or blogging, I would definitely recommend her workshops. Anyways, I really need to start thinking about what to bring to my parents' house on Thanksgiving... what are some of your favorite Thanksgiving recipes?

Holiday Gift Guide for the Hostess

Stripes + Leopard

Striped Long-sleeve Turtleneck: Old Navy; Watch: c/o HandPicked; Black Riding Boots: Ralph Lauren; Sheath Dress: Cynthia Rowley; Infinity Scarf: c/o HandPicked; Messenger Clutch: c/o HandPicked

It has been pretty chilly these last few days, but that shouldn't keep you from wearing one of your favorite casual dresses... all you have to do is layer the right way.  I love the way a turtleneck looks underneath a sleeveless dress.  I definitely wore that when I was 6 years old but it still somehow looks good, at least in my opinion. A few days ago, I mixed all sorts of patterns together to create this layered look.  This black messenger clutch bag from HandPicked is my new favorite bag to bring on-the-go.  It might look small on the outside but it opens up to three HUGE pouches to put all my stuff in.  I took it to an engagement party last weekend and it was perfect for the occasion. Personalize it with your friend's initials and voila! It is definitely a great little Christmas gift that will get a lot of use.  Another wonderful gift idea is a scarf... I am loving this leopard infinity scarf and at $21.00, you can't go wrong.  Head over to HandPicked to check out their amazingly affordable and adorable selection!

DIY Holiday Wine Bottles

White + Grey

Poncho: Calvin Klein (Found at Marshall's for 1/2 off); White Denim: Old Navy; Booties: Alex Marie; Watch: c/o HandPicked; Earrings: c/o HandPicked; Lip Color: Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Rose Tea

I can't seem to get enough ponchos this season... they are just so warm, cozy, and classic.  I would wear one every single day if I had enough of them.  This past weekend I decided to wear white denim (yes, after Labor Day- life is too short to live by silly fashion rules) with this grey and white poncho.  I definitely think the way to wear white in the fall/winter is to pair it with very neutral colors such as tan, grey, or black.

I also accessorized this look with a beautiful watch and monogrammed earrings from HandPicked.  Handpicked is wonderful company that specializes in monogrammed gifts and handcrafted jewelry.  It truly is one of my favorite places to shop when trying to find a birthday or Christmas gift for a friend or sister.  There is just something that feels so special and personal when receiving a gift from Handpicked.  I am dying to order these adorable embroidered stockings for Christmas this year.  These monogrammed earrings are the perfect personalized gift for a friend and I am probably going to wear them every day to work.  So, with the holiday shopping season upon us, go ahead and check out HandPicked's perfect gift selection!

Quilted Jackets

With cooler weather finally coming around, it is about time to start looking for a winter coat! There are so many different types of coats out there but one that I've always liked for a more casual look is a quilted coat.  I just love how insulated and warm they are without being too thick! I found this one I'm wearing in the photos at... guess... Marshall's, my weakness.  This one is by Jones New York and I can't find it online but I've put together some of my favorite quilted jackets I could find so maybe you can find one you like!

The other day I walked into Marshall's and couldn't believe all of the holiday decor they had out already... Is it really just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving?! Before we all know it, it'll be time to start shopping for friends and family's Christmas gifts! Last year I waited 'til the last minute and it was not as fun as it should have been.  I can't always think creatively under time constraints so I've already started thinking about what I can give people this holiday season.  I put together a quick and simple gift guide for the men in your life to get your brains cranking for the holidays! I stumbled across this watch and a few other ideas so let me know what are some gift ideas for YOUR men! I would love to hear!
