Holiday Shopping at Target

Target is my happy place, it's almost impossible for me to walk out of that store without spending a crap ton of money. The store seriously has everything.... home decor, beauty products, clothes, shoes, accessories, electronics, groceries, party supplies, etc...But one of the reasons I love shopping there is how affordable it is. Not only are they generally cheaper than other retailers and grocery stores, but they also provide multiple ways to save which is great with the busiest shopping season...

Stocking Stuffers

Stocking stuffers are my favorite little gifts on Christmas morning.

Kicking off the Holiday Season

Kicked off the holiday season this weekend, and I'm still in disbelief that Thanksgiving is only a few days away! Happy hour and a cheese filled lunch with the work peeps. Gourmet cheese, meats, fruit, and bread = the perfect lunch smorgasbord. Friday evening called for some much needed couch time followed by and even more needed pedicure and Target trip on Saturday before heading off to a friend's kickoff to the holidays party. Sunday was spent working around the house, running some...

Holiday Party Dresses

Tis the season for festive parties, weddings, and of course New Years Eve. I tend to gravitate towards all things shiny, lacy, and/or sequined this time of year and can't get enough! I need several dresses as I have a kick off to the holidays party this weekend, our annual Christmas party at the house, my work Christmas party, a wedding, and a New Years Eve martini party that we're supposed to wear all white for. That's a lot of new dresses, and I couldn't be happier with an excuse for a shopping...

Pretty Baubles

If you still haven't heard of Rocksbox it's time to see what all the fuss is about. A jewelry stylist picks three pieces to be shipped to you, and you can keep them as long as you'd like. When you're done, send them back and they'll ship you a new set. It's like Netflix for jewelry! You can see my previous sets here and here.

Whirlwind Weekending

What a whirlwind weekend, I haven't had a chance to stop and take it all in and now we're heading right back into another week. I am so thankful for the short holiday week next week, and the kick off to the holiday season. Friday was dinner and drinks downtown with friends. I tried the most amazing apple mac n' cheese, and am still thinking about how to re-create that deliciousness! Ughhh... Movember... love the cause/awareness I just miss my husband's clean-shaven face. December 1st please...

Can't wait to review them all, as I'm excited to try all three products after recs from Biana and Deborah. 2. Not only are the red cups back at Starbucks, but BOGO holiday drinks are going on now through Sunday...

Tour of Blogland

The fabulous Kristina reached out to me a few weeks ago, and asked if I was interested in being featured in her Tour of Blogland. I was so excited she asked me to be a part of this fun tour, and loved how she put hers together. What am I currently working on? ~ I mentioned at the beginning of 2014, that I really wanted to get back to my roots of why I started this blog. As much as I love sharing my weekend shenanigans and yummy recipes, I wanted to incorporate more fashion posts and...
