:: Gift Guide : For the Guys ::

December 5, 2017

:: Gift Guide : For the Guys ::

Don’t forget to check out my previous gift guides as well :
MONOGRAM JEWELRY LOVER // LAZY GIRL // OPRAH’S FAV THINGS 

BOSE SPEAKER // YETI TUMBLER // BULLDOG ICE MOLD // SLIPPER MOCCASINS // FULTON AND ROARK 2-IN-1 SHAMPOO BODY WASH // YETI COOLER // VEST // PULLOVER // PERSONALIZED GOLF BALLS // AWAY SUITCASE // ATHLETIC SHIRT // KEBAB GRILLING BASKETS // CASHMERE BLEND HALF ZIP // LULULEMON SHORTS // LEATHER PHONE CASE 

Ice Mold – The giant ice cubes became a huge trend in cocktail’ing a few years ago, and for good reason.  They are great and a must have to keep your drinks nice and cold.  Now they have all kinds of different shapes.  For the UGA Fan in your life, the Bulldog Ice Molds are perfect!! Other great molds are golf ball molds and mustache molds. When you need an easy gift or a stocking stuffer, or even something for the Christmas party games these are a great option!

Fitness Shirt – Even if your boyfriend/husband/dad/brother don’t work out very often, they are like women : We all like to wear comfy workout clothes, even if we aren’t working out, and especially because it makes it look like we are healthy and work out. Kip loves this long sleeve shirt and it has lasted about 5 years despite wearing it constantly.  This is a great dri-fit short sleeve option, too.  Everyone loves a hoodie too!

Lululemon Shorts – These are the only workout shorts Kip wears.  Also last for a long, long time!

Vest – Vests are always a great layering piece and particularly useful when the weather is constantly up and down! I love quilted vests that have a little extra contrasting with some texture.  This slightly dressier vest is 35% off and looks just like one I got Kip that he wears constantly. This is also a great sportier option. Find more vests here! 

Away Suitcase – You’ve seen these suitcases everywhere! One of the best features is the built in phone charger –  a must when flying and stuck without access to charge your phone.  My husband has been using his for about 2 months now and loves it. (He has the bigger carry on!) At first he wasn’t sure about not having the outer zipper pocket, but especially with the compression pad it comes with, he realized that he is able to fit enough for his week-long business trips just fine!
I also love that you can monogram them!
** use this link to get $20 off your order 

 Fleece – Every guy needs a good fleece to wear for weekend errands, and I am partial to these Patagonia Fleeces.  For another option, I looooove the Vineyard Vines pullovers – this one is a bit more casual and this one is a great option for dinner and out! 

Cashmere Half Zip – Who isn’t a sucker for cashmere? To give the gift of yummy-softness on a budget, this under $60 cashmere blend half-zip pullover is the perfect gift.  It comes in a ton of colors, too, so your options are endless!

Fulton + Roark – This is a group of mens grooming products that I think are particularly great for the guy on the go.  My husband has the combination 2-in-1 Shampoo and Body wash in his gym bag.  They also make solid colognes which are perfect for a gym bag and especially for traveling guys to keep in their dopp kit.

Slippers – when in doubt, slippers are a gift everyone will use and love.  I always like the ones with rubber soles,  so that you can walk outside to get the mail or take the trash out and not have to change your shoes.  The Ugg slippers are always a great option, but these are under $50 and seem just the same!

Kebab grilling baskets – These are so neat! Grilling baskets for your kebabs! Perfect for the man who loves to grill (and if you’re local, and your husbands a killer griller, come over for a date at our house because Kip has come along way, but he still could use aallllot of help)

Leather Phone Case – A great stocking stuffer option, or for the man that walks around dangerously risking shattering his phone every five seconds (which is most guys based on my observation) this leather phone case looks nice and holds your credit card to boot!

Vice golf balls – Instead of giving the golfer in your life a regular sleeve of golf balls, show you put some thought into it with personalized golf balls! You can put any writing or any logo on them, but you also can put pictures! These also make a great gift for grooms gifts!

Speaker – Portable speakers are something you would think everyone would have, but so often no one does! And it’s so nice to have a small one that can go anywhere! These portable Bose speakers are small and lightweight but pack a big sound punch – and the price is great for them.  AND it’s waterproof! It comes in black and another color, but I love the navy.

Beverage Holder – This would be a great gift for the college age or twenty-something that lives with his roommates and throws a great Tacky Sweater Party every year.

Yeti Cooler – The gift every man wants.  Nothing says you love him like a Yeti!

Yeti Tumbler – When the cooler is out of budget, every single person will LOVE having the tumbler. Truly my favorite thing I own, although this is a mens guide.  I wake up the next day with ice cubes still in my drink, and this is perfect to have at work! (also perfect at the beach to keep your cocktails cold even in the 100 degree heat!)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I always mean to mention – like, for A YEAR – and always forget – but if you haven’t signed up for EBates yet, DO IT.  You get so much great cash back on everything! 
You can use this link for an instant $10.  

It’s great because at the sites you already shop, it will let you know any coupon codes and apply them for you, and you get cash back just for shopping.  Pretty much every site has it, from Shopbop to Amazon to J.Crew – all of it with the exception of Nordstrom.   It’s been a game changer and I am SO MAD at myself for not starting using it years ago!

:: Floral Blouse + Friday Randoms + Link Love ::

December 1, 2017

:: Floral Blouse + Friday Randoms + Link Love ::

Cheers to Friday!

We are officially into December and into the swing of the Holidays! YAY!

This weekend I am going to the Virginia Highlands Tour of Homes with some girlfriends and can’t wait. I have never done any of the home tours before, so I am excited for a girls day and some lust worthy houses, followed by cocktails!  The Highlands is such a gorgeous area and I love just walking and looking at the outside of the houses, so I can’t wait to get to see behind the closed doors.
I also need to get on my Christmas list this weekend.  My family doesn’t do gifts since we go to the beach , although now we do gifts for my niece and nephew of course,
but Kip has a large family so the planning for gifts begins!
And they are really hard to shop for, which I’m sure a bunch of you can relate to with your in-laws! 

:: FLORAL BLOUSE ::
I wanted to share an amazing under $60 blouse with you all today! This blouse comes in 10 different solids and prints, so your options are endless, and it has such a great asymmetrical ruffle hem that is really flattering.  It’s a great go-to option with jeans and can easily take you from work to dinner and day to night.  I like to wear white jeans as much as possible, especially with the warm weather, but I’ll definitely pair it with my dark wash denim next. I loved the grey and blush in this floral print, but I think the black would be worn constantly, and I love the deep red for the holidays.
Top runs slightly large, but is meant to have a flowy fit, but I sized down to an XS.
I got these OTK boots from Forever21 a few years ago, but they are back and almost identical.  They are such a great steal and look just like the pricey designer boots! 

// FLORAL TOP, comes in a bunch of solids and prints, size down // WHITE JEANS, old navy – love these, run TTS and ON SALE // Forever21 BOOTS, here in BLACK and CHOCOLATE boots run TTS// MONOGRAM CLUTCH // MONOGRAM EARRINGS // SIMILAR MONOGRAM NECKLACE // 

:: Floribama ::

I mentioned in Coffee Talk a week or two ago that Jersey Shore was having a new spin-off set in Panama City Beach with a group of 21-25 year olds.  I was at my friends house last night for dinner, a fellow TV lover of course, and she said we all should watch it.  Who am I to say no to some trash TV? Or any TV for that matter? I watched the first hour of this week’s 2 hour premiere and OH-MY-GAWD.  You MUST watch.  I thought I was going to think it was trashy, or am I too old to find the antics of a 21 year old anything but horrifying, but I was wrong. So, so wrong.  And I don’t admit to being wrong often – just ask my husband.  I couldn’t look away, and the one liners that come out of these people’s mouths are worth watching alone.

PLEASE do yourselves, and me, a favor and watch this weekend so we can discuss next week!
I guarantee you watch the first 20 minutes and you’ll just have to know what happens.  Educational TV? No. Riveting TV? Oh yes. 

:: This Is US :: don’t worry – never any spoilers! 
I was able to catch up on a few shows this week, and I loved this week’s episode of This Is Us.  I always love it, but I had missed my Randall and was excited after 2 weeks without much of his character to have the ‘Number 3’ episode.  He is just the sweetest character ever.   Also, I just love the way they film this show – that all three weeks were the same day or scenes in each year as babies, teens, adults but from each child’s point of view – it’s so neat how they film it.  It’s so nice having a show that gives all the feels. 

:: At Home Ring Cleaner ::

I saw on Megan at Holy City Chic’s instastory that she was doing Living with Landyn’s At Home Ring Cleaner Solution called Bling Wash and raved about it.  The only thing I clean less frequently than my jewelry is my make-up brushes.  I had done a similar jewelry cleaner in the past that my friend told me about, just dish soap and water, but this one worked much better thanks to the other 2 ingredients : windex and a clean toothbrush!
You just microwave a bowl of water with some dish soap and windex for 1 minute, then soak your jewelry for 20 minutes, then rinse and scrub it with a toothbrush.  Instant Sparkle! (well, 20 minute soak, then instant sparkle!)
The toothbrush was able to get underneath the mount of my ring and get the gunk that when I previously soaked it before, and it was shinier than it ever was after just soaking it in my store-bought ring cleaner and using the tiny brush that one came with.  The bristles of the toothbrush were firmer and able to really get everything from the under the mount that never would soak off before.
Love it! I am officially hooked! Now hopefully I actually do it more than I was my make up brushes (read: never. ever.)

:: Vintage Flip :: 
With Fixer Upper ending, I keep clinging to all the other Home Shows that I can get my hands on!! As I’m typing this, Vintage Flip is on, which I haven’t seen in forever.  It’s another cute couple and I love that they focus on retaining charm and older homes.  (Although…. if I’m honest…. I recently watched A LOT of The Vanilla Ice Project on DIY and enjoyed it….. I meannnn y’all what is happening to me!!??)

:: FRIDAY FAVORITES ::

Gimme these striped pumps and gimme em to me now.  

Um. Never seen a holiday dickie before, or ever thought I would say that, but I kinda like it?! 

This pink top is a great punched up neutral – and would be a year round go to.  It would go with everything!  

I have last year’s version of this handbag and love it – it’s a perfect fall + winter go-to for under $60. 

An amazing jumpsuit in a great holiday color (with a surprise back!) 

This feather sleeve sweater strangely reminds me of the Grinch (???) yet I love it. 

This long sleeve swim tee is the most stylish SPF I have ever seen! (#Thisis30) Love the scallops and the white especially. 

A perfect holiday LBD option. 

My girlfriend got this workout pullover I’ve been eyeing and loves it – perfect with leggings or jeans. 

I can never get enough of drape front cardigans and sweater coats – this looks like the perfect weekend staple.  This is another great under $100 option. 

My favorite high waist workout leggings in 5 styles. (I do love the basic black though!) 

Halston is one of my favorites for something special.  I love, love, love their dresses for weddings and fancier occasions. They are having 30% off sitewide with code HOLIDAY.
This black jumpsuit is my favorite thing of the whole week. It is simply stunning.  
Some of my favorite picks :
RED FLOUNCE SLEEVE DRESS // DEEP V DRESS // STRIPED ONE SLEEVE PARTY DRESS
and gowns :
FLOWY GEORGETTE GOWN // SIDE TWIST DRAPE GOWN 

This basic bodysuit comes in black and white and looks like the perfect t-shirt; a must have for layering and would be perfect with all skirts and denim. 

If you’re a distressed denim fan, you can’t beat these under $100 Levi’s. 

Great statement earrings under $50 in lots of fall neutral color options. 

The deep-V of this cozy neutral sweater perfectly balances the puffed sleeves.

These heels are a little bit of a splurge at just under $200, but goodness they are adorable. (I should spend money on shoes not dresses I wear one time, but never do) 

:: LINK LOVE ::

I had never seen this Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal montage and I could not stop laughing.  Some of them are so perfectly spot on.  It’s SO stupid and yet I am SO hysterically laughing at it.

Dancing with the Stars Tour is coming to Atlanta in January.  UMMMM.  I need to go.  I must.  I don’t care if I go alone, IT’S HAPPENING.  #ThisIs50+ and #NoShame

25 Most Classic Christmas Movies of All Time.

7 Habits for eating Mindfully during the Holidays. 

Anna did a blog post about hunting for the best Natural Deodorant and I feel like I need to jump on this bandwagon, but the “experimental” stage always sounds like a nightmare for people.  I don’t want to take the time trying out a bunch of failures to find one that works!

7 Must have Beauty Products that work while you sleep.

This 71 year old Bodybuilder is unreal.  That’s some serious aging goals (well….. I’d take a little more bathing suit and little less muscle, but I’d take it!)

The story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship – in case you haven’t had enough already. 

 

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!!

:: GIFT GUIDE : THE LAZY GIRL ::

November 28, 2017

:: GIFT GUIDE : THE LAZY GIRL ::

 

With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s time to get my ass in gear and get back at the gym
to begin the Holiday celebrations and continue with Gift Guides!
I already posted a Monogram Gift Guide, and all guides can be found under the Holiday tab in the top menu.
oh, and a Guide to Oprah’s Guide

Today’s Gift Guide is for The Lazy Girl.
Coming off a week of eating and pure laziness this seemed like the perfect time! 
It seems like other guides are for the “Homebody”, but I think I’m talking about something different.
Yes, the robes and throws and mugs can fit a guide for the Homebody, but the lazy girl wants to veg during the day AND still go out at night.
 I love to stay on the couch and veg with a blanket as much as the next girl, but when it’s time for dinner out at a new restaurant or drinks with friends I am the first one to jump off that couch and maybe hop in the shower.
Because #FOMO and because #Wine.

So, call it “Homebody”, but I think that’s just a fancy word for Lazy.
At least in my life it is….



EXTENDED CHARGING CORD // PULLOVER // VELVET BOW // EMILY LEY PLANNER // CHARCOAL MASK 
LEOPARD BEANIE // SPANX LEGGINGS // SLIPPERS // OIL DIFFUSER // SLIPPER SOCKS 
CARDIGAN // PAJAMAS // DRY SHAMPOO // JOGGERS 
CANDLE // MORNINGS MUG // BLANKET // EYE MASK // PRISM GLASSES // POP SOCKET // POM BEANIE // ROOMBA FLOOR CLEANER 

Dry Shampoo : Let’s just start with what’s most important in life. If you aren’t using this you are lying.  Or you really need to be.  It’s not only a God-send, it makes your hair look even better. Batiste is my favorite because it is cheap, it works, and Amazon Prime delivers it in two seconds.  It also comes in travel size cans which is a lifesaver when traveling.
For a texturing spray, I go for Oribe which is pricier, but I only use this when I need extra hold for a night out and one can lasts me almost a year.

A Cute Planner : This may seem contradictory for a “lazy” person, but I love to be lazy and nothing excites me more than my planner.  Who doesn’t love to make lists of what they need done, keep everything organized, and then continue to procrastinate and push things off while they dive deep into a Netflix binge?
I use the Emily Ley Planner for my actual planner and this Lilly planner to log my food + workouts.

Prism Glasses : Um, WHAT!?! Ultimate stocking stuffer for the lazy girl in your life.  And it’s under $10!  You can read and watch TV laying flat on your back!  LAYING DOWN AND LOOKING UP! No more strained neck! I am ordering these just to try and see if they work (If the amount of excitement I have over this item doesn’t prove that I am the laziest human being alive, I don’t know what does.)
editors note : also, the reviews are half from people recovering from neck surgery. Uh I’m the worst. #LAZY. 

Cozy blanket : The competition for the coziest blanket is a stiff one.  I have had this throw for years and years and love it so much.  I have also been eyeing this cute pom pom throw blanket all week!
or if you want to go all out, this faux fur sleeping bag is ah-mazing. 

Clothes that work equally well on the couch as they do running a quick errand (whether that errand is to pick up food, no judgement) are important. The following are a few favorites :

Cozy Cardigan // Pullover : You can’t go wrong with a cardigan with over 1,000 Five Star reviews.  100% Yummy, gaurenteed. Or an adorable pullover (Oprah approved!) that can take you from workout to couch or couch to out.

Spanx leggings : if you get the spanx leggings, it’s like you are working out without ever moving a muscle.  they suck it all in and you lose inches without having to move an inch.  genius, I know….
If you want something other than a traditional legging, I have the active leggings and love them (size small) but if you want to feel fancy, the leather leggings and suede pairs are great, too!

Joggers : For a bit more breathing room than the Spanx, a pair of joggers are the perfect way to to go from couch to out (and back to couch) in no time.  This ruched ankle pair is adorable + look polished if you have to head out, but there are other great options at here and a velvet pair form Gap.

Face Mask : There’s nothing to kick off a new week on a Sunday night, or to just feel productive while still sitting on the couch or in bed, than a luxurious face mask.  Plus, they are fun to snap a pic of and send to your friends? You’re working on your skincare without lifting a finger. I am still MADLY in love with my Black Head Mask.  My husband (who never reads this, secret is safe with all of you) and I do it every Sunday together.

Pop Socket : Okay. I Know.  This sounds like something only the instagram obsessed millennial would need.  But it has become a game changer for me.  I ‘inherited’ the giant 6+ that used to be my husbands work phone when my old iPhone died for good and it is impossible to hold the thing with one hand.  I was dropping it and nearly shattering it constantly.  This makes it so easy to use the phone like a normal person.  These would be a great stocking stuffer – so cheap and you don’t even know you need it til you have it!

Extra long phone charger : Enough said.  We all need it.  We never have it.  We all need to exercise that finger muscle and finally get one.  Bonus points for a pretty rose gold.

Cute coffee or tea mug : Feel free to put something cute on the mug, or maybe something motivating to see if it will actually entice you to leave the couch and go outside and live your best life.

Steamer : I do not iron.  This will get your clothes fresh and wrinkle free in no time at all.  This one in particular is my favorite because it works internationally, but I also love the My Little Steamer and used it for years before needing one for European outlets.  You’ll see this over and over again on my list of favorite things.

Hair Accessories : Throw your hair in a pony tail with a cute suede bow, or grab an adorable beanie to cover up the lack of curling iron. Love this cableknit beanie with the pom top.

Roomba : This is a new gift in my life and I love it.  What’s not to love about someone/something else cleaning your floors?  It may seem like an investment, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a cleaning lady. Preach.  Plus, people can comment on how clean your home is and you can act like YOU were the one that spent all day vacuuming.  Plus, it’s endless entertainment for you and your husband to comment on and watch (I know that sounds crazy, but when it’s new you kinda watch it and follow it like a dog. #SadButTrue)

Cozy Pajamas : The cuter the better.  And extra points for monogramming.

Slippers : For me this is more because I hate to be barefoot on hardwood floors than anything else, but cute slippers make shuffling over to the fridge that much more fun. I mean, if you have to walk that is. You can go traditional, furry and fun, or a mix of both, but they are definitely a lazy girls necessity.

Candles // Aromatherapy – If you aren’t scrubbing your dirty dishes and are staying in the same place all day, perhaps light a candle. And a beautiful Voluspa Prosecco candle does the trick. Or, jump on the fancy bandwagon of oils and aromatherapy diffusers.

Eye Mask – To take your cat naps to the next level.  (aka climbing back in bed in general).  Make it a silk one with a pillow and you’ll be doing double duty to help your wrinkles. And copper is the new trend in eye masks, too!
I got this under $10 eye mask for traveling and it has space for you to blink and everything underneath + stays put.

:: Thanksgiving Recap + Cyber Monday ::

November 27, 2017

:: Thanksgiving Recap + Cyber Monday ::

Ugh.  Monday’s.  It’s hard to be back to reality and work on this Monday morning, but at least the online deals are still flowing in!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with your families.
Ours was amazing – we had family in that I haven’t seen in 4 years and our weather was perfect.

Something always goes wrong with the meal, but we all agreed that this year everything was insanely delicious.
OH! I did set a centerpiece garland on fire at the end of the meal 🙂 OOPS!

I was picking up the hurricane so that we could see each other across the table while we vegged and cocktail’d and suddenly the garland was on top of the pinecone candle and in flames.  All I could do was yell “fire, fire, fire!” while the other ladies looked on.  Luckily Kip was close by and came and clapped it out.  Whoops! We quickly got back to our wine while the boys did the dishes……

We ate at my sister’s house but I helped with dishes and decorating.
I found this Ralph Lauren Plaid tablecloth at HomeGoods and used it on the kids table.  I had ordered some fun photobooth props and turkey hats for us all to wear and they were definitely a hit with the kids (and the hats with the adults!)
I want to order some Christmas Photobooth Props to have for Christmas since it entertained my nephew for so long!

We started decorating for Christmas.
The big debate has been wether to get a real tree this year or not.  We are gone for the majority of the second half of the month, but I (of course) still want a real tree!
I think we may just end up getting a tiny real tree, and setting up our fake tree in the living room as our main tree.  Oh well! Good thing I have plenty of other decorations to keep me occupied!
I’ll share some updated decorating pictures next week once it’s all complete!
you can see a few of last year’s decorations in this post

:: My Sale Picks ::

November 26, 2017

:: My Sale Picks ::

row one : RUFFLE SWEATER // MONOGRAM SUITCASE // SILK TOP 
row two :  DELSEY CARRY ON // TORY BURCH PAVE FLATS // GLITTER SLIPPERS // SUEDE PUMPS // BOW EARRINGS // STRIPE TOP 
row three : FIREWORK EARRINGS // CAMEL + RED SCARF // RAG AND BONE JEANS // BOW TIE HALTER TOP // MASON TRAVEL BAG // SUEDE DRAPED JACKET // SPARKLE PUMPS 

I have this draped suede jacket in two colors (black and grey) and have ended up wearing it every since weekend in past weeks. It is the perfect layering piece and goes so well with dresses, tops, and more. You can see it worn here).
and this leather version is 50% off currently! 

My favorite pair of jeans are 30% off – these rarely ever go on sale – and I get asked what jeans they are all the time.  Perfect stretch, no front pockets so they don’t add bulk, and are super flattering.  Worth every penny.  (They last at eternity too and wash well!)

These booties are on sale even more, I have them in black but love them in brown too.  They are down to 50% off with the Black Friday sales added in !!

My Mason Travel Bag is my #1 Travel Accessory MUST HAVE.  Literal MUST HAVE.  Regular readers know that I talk about it constantly and have been singing its praises for 4 years now.  If you all haven’t bought it by now you are insane (sorry, not sorry)- ask all of my friends that have converted, including the constant business travelers! 

Pieces I have ordered or have my eye one from the sales :

I fell in love with these pave encrusted logo tory burch flats the second they appeared in my inbox.  Could there be a more perfect shoe? And with 30% off now is the time to snag em!

I have been lusting after these earrings for a few weeks now.  I have their old version of “bow earrings” that I wear all December long and get constant compliments on them.  I love these EVEN MORE!

This bow tie neck top is a piece to go to again, and again, and again.  The only problem is deciding which color to get it in! It’s an item that you can wear no matter the season or temp, but the bow makes it just perfect for the holidays.  Great with jeans or tucked into skirts!
If you are wanting one that is absolutely perfect for the holidays, you can’t beat it in this style. 

If you need a cozy sweater to live in all winter long, let it be this ruffle sleeve sweater – the green would be my pick!

If you’ve had your eye on monogrammed luggage – or some new luggage in general – now is the time to snag this adorable carry on (or the set!).
The always gorgeous Delsey Luggage is also on super sale! 

This camel + red scarf is the one thing excluded from sale prices – which I didn’t realize until I had already fallen in love with it, damn! – but looks like a million bucks; you could throw it on and it would make your entire outfit.

The neckline and color on this silk top scream holidays.  So gorgeous and flattering.

I haven’t bought a chambray shirt in awhile.  I have one that I love and is a constant go to, and one that has kind of an awkward fit and I can only wear with certain pieces.  Because of that, I hadn’t wanted to order another, but the reviews on this shirt are all RAVE five star reviews.

I have never seen a pair of earrings quite like these fireworks earrings – I love them in all four colors and think they would make any outfit elegant and party ready.

These suede pumps would be the only shoe you need for winter.  They are so feminine and the perfect thick heel to keep you comfortable and on your feet all night long.
However…… the same pump, but bling’ed out, would be the absolute perfect party shoe.  I had to order these to see for myself in person – they look so fun!

These slippers are the perfect gift for yourself or for any lady in your life.  You can’t beat the price tag and they are super warm with the faux fur lining, but so fun with the sparkly finish. They also come in this style.

This dress comes in black or red and is the ideal shape for every body type.  It shows enough skin, but not too much, to be your go-to for everything from an office party to a night out with friends.  And all of the reviews are 5 stars!  The only decision you need to make with this one is which color to choose (and at 2 for 1 pricing, you might as well get both!)

You can never have enough striped tee’s in your closet, amiright? This one has a little something special to set it apart from all of the others.

This sequined skirt works great as an option for the holidays, but works just as well in spring and summertime as well.  You would get so much use out of it!
