beanie baby

 I don't know about you, but I know that when I used to see anyone wearing a beanie, I would often associate it with being homeless. Not only have I seen quite a few homeless men wearing beanies in my day, but I think it's also just a widely accepted image of the homeless person: beanie, lots of baggy layers, big beard, shopping cart. This past year, though, I've seen beanies trending like crazy. Suddenly they were on half of the fashion blogs I follow, all over my tumblr feed....everywhere.
So I decided I'd try them out for myself! I got this extremely comfy-cozy wine colored Alpaca knit beanie from MySocialOutlet and I am so head-over-heels for it!
I also can't get over the print on this dress. I'm not a big bodycon dress fan, but the smoke and crystal pattern on this is so mesmerizing. When it first arrived in the mail, I just stared at it for probably 10 minutes admiring the intricate detail.
I'd also like to note that it was nearly 70 degrees and sunny today and it was so nice!!

holiday gift guide: for him

The age old question: what the heck do I get my boyfriend for Christmas?
S O L V E D.

1.  A watch. Simple, classic, and always welcomed.
2. Beanies are the cutest things in the world on a boy. Buy him one so YOU can benefit from it.
3. Boys who can skateboard/longboard are so attractive. If he doesn't know how, make him learn. If he already does, he will love you forever if you get him a new board.
4. Who can deny the cuteness of a bow-tie on any boy? Cute overload.
5. Beats by Dre are perrrrrfect for any boy who is into music. 
6. A pair of brogues is something every male needs in his closet. So you're doing him a favor.
7. Cologne is one of the most simple gifts you can get for your man. If you're in a new relationship, this is something I'd suggest. It's not too much, nor too little. Plus, who doesn't want their man to smell nice?
8. Ray-Ban Clubmasters are so stinkin' cute, and every boy needs a pair of Ray-Bans. They're timeless.

Enjoy spoiling your man this holiday season! xo
