10 Best Gift Ideas For The Boys | Dad, Brother, Uncle, Son, Friend
0

Today we’re continuing our 2019 Gift Guide Series with the top gift ideas for the boys — always one of my favorites!

Whether you’re shopping for your dad, brother, uncle, hubby or boyfriend, I think I’ve figured out a great recipe of categories to stick to when it comes to Christmas shopping for the men in your life — insert tech, golf, shoes, clothing & accessories!

My fiancé seriously loves the latest & greatest in tech. For example, some of the top tech gifts he’s loved over the years include Bose headphones (he has this pair), the new Apple Airpods Pro, the latest iPad model, portable speakers (i.e. the UE Boom 2), chargers (we’re obsessed with mophie chargers and have multiple of the power station mini) and so on. We always laugh because of how frequently he is investing in the latest portable charger. I’ve stopped traveling with my own charger because I know he will at least have 5 on us (and fully charged) at all times.

Outside of tech, any gifts related to golf is always a HUGE hit in our household. I highly recommend getting the golfer on your list brand new golf balls — specifically the Titlist Pro V1! They make for great stocking stuffers. Josh also wanted to make sure I linked to these golf balls which are half the price of the Pro V1. You’re welcome.

Other golf-related gift ideas you can’t go wrong with include:

A gift card to Ship Sticks — Always appreciated for golf trips as the company can ship clubs directly to the course!
A new Range finder – there are some great options on Amazon.
A new Golf Bag — TaylorMade is a great brand.
Peter Millar Golf Polos.
Last but not least, any half zips from Patagonia, Lulu Lemon or J.Crew also make for great gift ideas!

Hopefully this was helpful & I’d love to hear what have been some of your favorite gifts you’ve bought for the men in your life! P.s. You can shop all of my previous gift guides below from 2019 & beyond!

The Top 5 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals To Shop
0

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Checking in today to share my top 5 favorite Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals to shop this week. Be sure to check back today through Monday as I’ll continue to update with the best deals. Enjoy!!! Xo. Lauren

Shopbop

Yesterday I shared the details for Shopbop’s Shop More, Save More (MORE17) Black Friday Sale. Shopbop rarely runs sales throughout the year so this is one of the best time to stock up on brands you wouldn’t normally shop at regular prices. Insert Stuart Weitzman, Tibi, Acne, and Veronica Beard. This is my personal favorite Black Friday Sale so if there’s one sale you’re going to shop, make it this one!

Shop The Sale

gift

Nordstrom

Shop 20% off selected items at Nordstrom. I love these suede booties, this Topshop Camel Coat, this Burberry Vest, or this Madewell sweater.

Shop The Sale

gift

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn, one of my go-to decorating sources for all things holiday, is offering 20% off EVERYTHING plus free shipping. Or if you’re looking to stock up on Christmas decor, they are offering 30% off select items. I bought so much holiday decor at Pottery Barn this season including these plaid plates, these snowflake stockings, these nostalgic santa salad plates, and these antique silver chargers (on sale for $34 dollars!). Seriously, so much good stuff! Shop my favorites below.

Ann Taylor Loft

I’ve been shopping Ann Taylor Loft more recently for work. I always freeze at the office so finding affordable layering pieces is key. Ann Taylor Loft’s Black Friday deal is a good one!!-You can shop 50% off everything with promo code THANKS!

gift

J.Crew

Last but certainly not least, J.Crew is offering 40% off everything! Stock up on outerwear like this fur jacket, this wool coat (it’s stunning in red!), this leopard top coat or this parka with the fur hood!

10 Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas
3

Happy November! Can you guys believe it? This year is practically over – omg!

What I love most about the month of November is that it’s fully acceptable to start getting excited for Christmas. Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet?

I am beginning to brainstorm different decorating ideas when it comes to my Christmas tree. Last year I went with a red and silver theme. I unfortunately wasn’t able to shoot my tree or my apartment during the holidays since I barely had any furniture. So this year I’m on a mission to decorate and shoot well before Christmas.

I browsed some of my favorite websites like House Beautiful and My Domaine for some Christmas tree decorating ideas and came across so many good ones! The one trend I absolutely love this year is incorporating pre-lit christmas trees in every room of the house. From the kitchen to the bedroom to the living room, incorporating different sized christmas trees throughout each and every room creates an element of excitement and elegance for your guests around the holidays.

This year I think I will stick with my red and silver theme similar to last year but I’m leaning towards a more traditional Christmas. I’ll be stealing a bunch of Old World ornaments from my mom. I’ve also discovered that Amazon is great for purchasing in bulk and affordable ornaments if you are sticking to a single color scheme. Pottery Barn has so much holiday decor to choose from – I love these traditional Christmas plates and mugs.

Things I skipped out on last year that I’m on a mission to incorporate into my decor this year include: a beautiful wreath and garland, a tree skirt or tree stand, a tree topper and various decor for my entry way and kitchen. Oh, I also I’m in need of plaid pillows! How good are these italian wool pillows from Williams-Sonoma? $190 is a little out of my budget so it looks like Wayfair it is!

What’s on your holiday shopping list? Xo. Lauren

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
2

Merry Christmas, girlfriends!! How was everyone’s day? I just wanted to check in real quick to wish you all a happy and safe holiday. I’m home in Cleveland enjoying way too much food (and vino) but can you blame a girl? And I have to apologize, my posting is a little all over the place during the holidays so bare with me. Today I did want to share the full outfit details from my latest feature with the Everygirl from earlier this month.

When I was shopping for the feature, I wanted a dress that screamed HOLIDAY. I found this little gold frock at Nordstrom – one of my go-to’s for all things holiday – gifts, attire, boots, and more. I paired my red coat from Zara (found here) and my new favorite hat from Splendid LA which I wear everyday (not kidding). Anyways, this dress has been a big hit throughout all of my holiday festivities this month. A lot of people have also been asking about my scarf on Instagram but unfortunately it’s all sold out! Booooo. You can find similar blanket scarves here from Asos and don’t forget to check out my top 10 blanket scarves of the season here. But yes, total bummer, I know.

Have a great rest of your holiday and I will be back here tomorrow!

Merry Merry!!! Xoxo. Lauren
