{1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 19}
It's finally here! My Holiday Wish List for Kids! Or rather, a wish list that's kind of made for Cora, hehe. Don't tell her, but she's already getting a few of these items for Christmas and I cannot wait to see her face when she opens gifts this year. Last year, she was too young to fully enjoy Christmas, but so far she's been enjoying the Christmas lights around the house and in the neighborhood.

We'll be getting our Christmas tree sometime this week (I know, can't believe we still haven't gotten ours yet!), so I'm pretty sure she'll be super excited about that. Although, I'm a little worried about her and some of the ornaments we have. Might have to only put up plastic ones this year for fear of her breaking any delicate ones we've got.

Hope this gift guide for kids helps with any little ones you may have or are gifting to. And don't forget about my Fashion, Beauty, and Home Accessories Wish Lists to help with any holiday shopping. I'll have Part 2 of my Fashion Wish List next week!

Happy Thursday you guys!!

Style // Blush Fringe Jacket

Ever feel like when you get ready to go out (in the colder months), you don't have a jacket that is worthy of finishing off your outfit? I feel like that all the time, or at least I used to before Cora was born (oookay, really when I was living in DC so waaay before Cora). I've now learned that it's so worth it to invest time and energy finding outerwear that will really finish off a going-out outfit. There have been too many times when I get frustrated with the choices I have and just throw something on that I would normally wear to the grocery store (I would definitely wear this to the grocery store in theory, but in reality I wouldn't want to get it dirty so I probably wouldn't). While that's good and all, I always tell myself that I should get a really chic jacket for these kinds of situations. And I never listen to myself. That's not to say that my leather bomber jacket doesn't do the job, but sometimes you want something feminine, no? Well, I think I may have found it.

The word 'obsessed' doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this blush fringe jacket. The ladies from HERE.a pop-up shop, Ellen and Amy, know what women want and they give it to us at their monthly pop-up shop right here in Annapolis. And this month's pop-up shop features this perfectly pink fringe jacket along with a lot of other goodies (another outfit post to come!). Their pop-up shop opens tomorrow at noon (yay!) and goes until Dec. 15th, so make sure to head there (220 Main St. Annapolis, MD) to get some holiday shopping done for your loved ones. Or if you're like me, then get some shopping done for yourself. Hey, ain't no shame in gifting yourself when you really need it, right?

Weekend Recap // Thanksgiving + Here.a pop-up shop

The beautiful table setting by my mother-in-law for Thanksgiving dinner.
Is anybody else sad that the weekend is over? We had such a great time with our families this Thanksgiving holiday, so it was hard to wake up this morning knowing that it's back to reality. I won't lie though, Cyber Monday makes it much easier to start the week. I'm definitely going to take advantage of the sales for some of my Christmas shopping today.

I've been keeping a Holiday Wish List board over on Pinterest to help my family members take a peek at what I'm hoping to find under the tree. It's also for me to keep track of what I've asked for. Sometimes it's easier for me to keep track of things visually because I'm more of a visual person (I like to see things on paper, or in this case on Pinterest). Here are a few of the newest items I've added to that board.

We actually avoided the mall and any stores this Black Friday and Saturday, but we couldn't stay away from shopping completely so we went to the mall yesterday. I was able to pick up a birthday gift for a dear friend and a few things for myself. I know, totally selfish, but at 30% off at J.Crew (with code MONDAY), how could I not? Plus, this Nobody's Perfect top is something I've been wanting very, very badly.

I'm headed to downtown Annapolis today with Cora to meet up with the ladies from HERE. a pop-up shop to check out their fabulous picks for this month's pop-up shop at 220 Main St. Annapolis, MD from Dec. 5th-15th. The bracelet below is what I snagged at last month's pop-up shop and it is literally a piece of jewelry I wear as often as my wedding rings. Like all the time. So make sure to stop by starting Dec. 5th to stop in and get some holiday shopping done or get something for yourself because I can guarantee you'll find something you'll want.

Okay, time to get Cora to nap and get on with some chores around the house. Hope you all have a great Monday! And if you don't already follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, start following to see what I'm up to throughout the day!

Holiday Wish List // Beauty

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! I'm still recovering from all of the fun we had with family, but it's not going to stop me from getting some Black Friday shopping in. Let's get started with some beauty products, shall we? Literally, everything in this board is what I need/want. There are a lot of necessities in this board, but a few 'wants' too. And really, isn't it nice to receive beauty products as gifts? It's so great when someone gets those little luxury items that we don't think to purchase for ourselves, no?

Good luck shopping everyone and stay safe!
