There's certainly no shortage of fab finds under $50, and this week, I accidentally happened upon five with a beachy kind of theme. So many retailers slashing prices on summer clothes to make room for fall inventory, so there are lots of deals to be had online and in stores. I've handpicked five favorites this week that scream summer!

How to Know The Right Gift to Buy For Her

Monday, March 9, 2020

No matter how well you know your significant other, buying gifts for her can be a little harder than you expect. This can happen for a couple of reasons. For one, you already believe that she has everything she needs, and two, it may be that you don’t want to buy her something solely for the sake of buying it.

Both of these pose a problem, though, and it creates quite a conundrum. If you don’t buy her something, you come across like you don’t care, but purchase something useless, and you risk the same thing. So, it’s essential to have a solid plan and even a backup plan, whether the gift is big, small, something meaningful, or something fun.

10 Things I'm Loving at Amazon Right Now

Saturday, December 28, 2019

Everyone knows that Amazon is the first place you go to find anything. You can find things you need, and you can find things you didn't know you needed. Amazon has so much good stuff in one place that it's easy to fall down the rabbit hole when browsing. And with Prime 2-day shipping, it's almost like instant gratification. I recently went down said rabbit hole and found all sorts of things I needed. If I didn't them, then they'd most definitely be good to have.

The holidays are coming, and for many of us, that means weekend trips to visit and spread holiday cheer to family and friends. When you're traveling for a few days, a suitcase isn't always a practical option.  They tend to be cumbersome and take up unnecessary space in the car (or train or plane). In this case, it's best to pack your belongings in a weekend bag. Weekend bags offer plenty of space for toiletries and several changes of clothes that you'll use and wear over the course of a few days. Plus, there are so many cute styles and prints that blow any suitcase away.

Here are a few of my favorite weekend bags under $50:

8 Interesting and Unique Gift Ideas Your Daughter Will Cherish Forever

Friday, July 19, 2019

When you give your daughter a gift, you want it to be something special, something that will bring a smile to her face. You want it to be an interesting and unique gift that she will cherish forever. There are all kinds of wonderful presents that you can choose from. Hopefully, this guide can help you sift through all of the many choices so that you can get something that your little girl (who may not be such a little girl anymore) will love.

When choosing a gift, it's important to consider your daughter’s interests and hobbies. The last thing you want to get for the woman who loves to fly is a bus ticket. She would much rather get a flight lesson or maybe even a skydiving adventure. If your fear is that you won’t pick something that is perfect for her, do a little research. You don’t have to be super stealthy about it either. Just have a conversation with her. Ask a few questions and really listen to the answers. Go to her house or to her room and look around. Ask questions about what you see and think about ways you can complement what she already has or further her dreams and goals.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Since becoming a mother, Mother's Day has taken on a whole new meaning. It's not only a day to be recognized for all we do as mothers, but it's a chance for me to show my daughters how much they mean to me. For me, that generally translates to experiences more so than gifts (although receiving a small gift that I love is always appreciated!). Last year, Emma and Harper took me to brunch and paid for it! I know they don't have or earn a lot of money, so that small gesture and time spent together meant so much more to me than a random gift.

Utilitarian chic is popping! From army style combat jackets to camo tees to jumpsuits, we are seeing all sorts of military-inspired styles this spring. I love this trend! This has been a look that I've been a fan of since Banana Republic first popularized the safari-chic style in the 1980s. There's a lot available to wear, but here are a few items I saw in stores lately and loved.

What I've Bought Recently

Tuesday, April 9, 2019
I tend to go on a spending freeze during the winter months. I don't like winter, and therefore, I don't like winter clothes, so I rarely buy new clothes for the cold weather unless I absolutely have to. This also explains why you rarely see me post outfit pics on Instagram during the winter months. Most of the clothes I wear are classic pieces (cashmere blend turtlenecks and sweaters as well as jeans) from 2 or 3 years ago.

But once spring arrives, I find myself itching to buy all the cute things for the warm weather months. Plus, we are heading to California in two weeks, so I've been buying a few things for the trip. I wanted to share a few of the items I've purchased recently in case you are looking for inspiration, need some spring wardrobe update ideas, or are just plain curious about the things I am loving lately (I have a slight fascination with what other people buy).

10 Things I'm Loving at Nordstrom Rack Right Now

Friday, March 15, 2019

If you've never shopped at Nordstrom Rack, it's time to fix that. Think of Nordstrom Rack as the big clearance section of Nordstrom. You can shop in store (if there is a location near you) or online. The prices are unbeatable, and the sales are phenomenal. If you shop online, you do have to pay shipping fees whereas you don't when you order from Nordstrom. However, returns can be made at any Nordstrom Rack store.

I've been shopping at Rack a lot lately for spring essentials, so I thought I'd share the ten items in my cart right now.
