What are your Christmas plans? Have you been to Vegas- where did you stay?! Merry Christmas!

Having trouble finding the perfect gift for the man in your life? Whether it be your brother, dad, or significant other- here's a few items I know will blow them away!

1 / / Rayban Clubmaster Sunglasses- What man doesn't look good in a nice pair of sunglasses? He's sure to be impressed with these as a gift.

2 / / WeatherTech Floor Mats- Know a guy with muddy shoes all the time? Here's the perfect thing for him. My car came with these (so they're great for women, too!) and I take them out and wash them off all the time and it's so easy!

3 / / Portable Bluetooth Speaker- Take this fun gadget anywhere from the beach to work out. This particular one has really high ratings on Amazon and it's a good price!

4 / / S'well Stainless Steel Water Bottle- Considering there aren't many "manly" water bottles- here we go! The wood look is so cool and these are awesome for keeping cool drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. Also, every time a bottle from the wood collection is sold, a tree is planted!

5 / / Whiskey Stones- Freeze these stones and use them over and over again to keep a drink cold without watering it down from ice. We got these for my dad and he loves them!

What are you planning on getting the man/men in your life? Let me know in the comments!

If you're like me, you are/have had trouble deciding what you want for Christmas! I finally decided on the top five things I'm hoping for this Christmas! As fun as giving and receiving gifts is- it's so important to not lose sight of the TRUE reason for the season!

I hope my wishlist will give you some inspo!

R+Co One Prep Spray- I'm so eager to try this brand out! I have a friend who is going to work for a salon that sells it so I will definitely be posting about it if I'm impressed!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette- I've seen a ton of reviews on this and I NEED it in my life. Blush, highlighter, and bronzer in one beautiful compact- it doesn't get much better.

Chanel Lipgloss in 87 Seashell- Chanel is such a prestigious brand and I've been wanting to try out their lipgloss since it's one of the less expensive products. This is a great universal color, too! 

Nume Magic Wand 25 MM- I am so impressed with this company! Great deals ALL the time and excellent products! I have the Classic Wand 32 MM which works great, but since my hair is shorter I want a smaller wand to get more curl.

Canon Rebel T3I- The biggest item. I have been wanting a camera for quite a while now because my phone just isn't cutting it with pictures. Fingers crossed!

What do you have on your wishlist? Leave me a comment!

Today I'm bringing you my Women's Christmas Gift Ideas! Take notes because these would make great gifts for your mom, sister, or friend! Check out the items below for some ideas and a few of my favorite things! 

Ban.do Mobile Charger- This is such an awesome practical gift! I mean, let's be honest, how many times do you wish you had a charger with you?? Whether it be a stocking stuffer or a gift- it would be great and super useful! (it also comes in other prints!)

Bauble Bar Acid Fringe Tassel Drop Earrings- I'm more of a statement earring person rather than necklace, so these pretty blush earrings are straight #perfection.

Ciate London Smoldering Eye Palette- How great are these colors?! I've heard that these shadows have a really creamy consistency which is something I'm always looking for. NEED. THIS. IN. MY. LIFE.

Nila Anthony Faux Fur Pompom Clip- I'm loving this trend! I've seen endless amounts of bloggers with these. It's a fun gift for someone who is willing to dress up their purse or keys.

Bobbi Brown Beach Perfume- I'm convinced someone went and captured the smell of the ocean and put it in a bottle. I dream of this perfume, no joke. Imagine taking a long walk along the beach and that's this perfume.

Hey there! With only one sleep until Thanksgiving, I wanted to inspire you all with some fun (and most importantly, accommodating for the food baby you'll be getting!) outfit ideas! Dark colors, fur and suede will be what I'm sporting this year! The main goal is to stay comfy and cozy while sill looking chic. Take these outfits from morning- watching the Macy's Day Parade, to night- shopping till you drop for Black Friday.

I hope you all have a blessed day with your loved ones!

Let me know what your plans are!

I am so excited to bring you my favorite ways to wear a blanket scarf! This scarf is HUGE and can definitely be just what its name says- a blanket! I've been asked a lot about the ways I wear mine, so below you can find out seven fun + unique ways! The bonus about this scarf is how soft it is! I'm. Not. Kidding. So comfy!

Style 1
1. Start out with your scarf folded into a triangle.
2. Wrap the scarf once around your neck so that the ends hang off each side (make sure they're long enough to tie.
3. Crisscross the ends and pull one end under and through the loop you just created.
4). Let the ends flop down and pull the part around your neck looser.

Style 2
This look is pretty self-explanatory! Just pull the scarf around your neck and make the ends even then do one of those sassy flips with the other side over the shoulder of your choice!

Style 3
This is one of my favorite looks!
My scarf is rectangle so I leave it as is, then just put it over me like a blanket and stick my arms out. You can even put a belt around your waist for a great + dressy look!

Style 4
1. Start with the scarf in a triangle and wrap it around your neck once then pull the ends down.
2. Tie the ends into a knot.
3. Tuck the knot underneath the rest of the scarf.
4. Loosen the scarf up and make sure you have a good point to it!

Style 5
This look is a lot like the previous look except you don't tie a knot this time and you pull the scarf to the side.

Style 6
1. Start with the scarf folded into a thin + long rectangle.
2. Fold the scarf multiple times around your neck until you are comfortable.
3. Make sure the ends are tucked into the back and BAM! you have an infinity scarf.

Style 7
SUPER SIMPLE. This look is really great if you're one of those people who get claustrophobic with something around your neck.. Simply create the same thin + long rectangle from style 6 and put it around your neck where both sides are equally long, then crisscross them and tuck one into the whole and loosen it up to your liking!

Honestly you can play around as much as you want with the directions! I usually like to keep my hair up in a bun or a curled pony tail when I wear mine- but you can do whatever you are feeling! I know a lot of times people are scared to purchase something because they aren't sure how to style it- but now you don't have that excuse ;) Everyone needs this great staple piece in their wardrobe so I linked some similar ones below!

Any questions? Let me know! How do you like to style/wear your scarf?

I've talked a little bit about Ipsy beofre, but in case you didn't know- here's the spill:
Ipsy is a monthly subscription box. Each month you get a makeup bag and full size or deluxe-sized products ranging from hair to makeup. The cost is $10 a month and it's such a fun way to try out new products!

Absolute New York Nano Liner- FULL SIZE

Value $9.99

This black felt tip eye liner is seriously perfect. You barely have to touch it to your lid for it to work and it creates the best wing!

Model Co. Highlighting Trio- FULL SIZE

Value- $22

I haven't experimented much with cream highlighters, but I think I'm going to really enjoy these. The colors are super pigmented and blendable.

TreStique Mini Matte Lip Crayon in Chile Red- Deluxe Size

Full Size Value- $28

I'm not a really big fan of this product, to be honest. I think the lipstick is drying and doesn't last long. Any other matte lip crayon I generally like, but I just can't make myself a fan of this one.

* swatch below *

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara- Deluxe Size 

Full Size Value- $20
I was so excited to receive this mascara because I've been wanting to try it out for so long and I'm a huge fan of Smashbox! The brush on this is big and creates a good amount of volume and length! I would repurchase in the full size!

Tucker Ashley Perfecting Moisturizer- Deluxe Size

Full Size Value- $19.95

I want to like this because I've been on the hunt for a good moisturizer, but as soon as I put it on the back of my hand to see if it had a scent, I broke out. I never have reactions so I'm surprised I did with this one, but I'm sure it would be a great product if it didn't do that!

Overall the value of this bag is way over $10, so I can't complain! I really like three out of the five products and two of them are full size!

What do you think about the November Ipsy Glam Bag? What did you get in yours? :)

Day to night wish this comfy and cozy poncho! I love how versatile it is + for under $40?! I'll wear this to school during the day then switch it up to go out with girlfriends! Is anyone else dying over ponchos this season? Let me know how you style your poncho in the comments!

Changing it up to night time by adding some killer leather leggings and black booties!
