25 Last-Minute Gift Ideas

Hello friends, Happy Tuesday!
Who's excited for Christmas? And Pitch Perfect 3 this weekend?

I'm that person who starts shopping for gifts right after the New Year. It spares me all the stress and leaves me a little more to spend on myself for the holidays (ha!). However, if you still haven't done yours yet, keep in mind the shipping deadlines or shop in stores. I'm sticking with Nordstrom and Anthropologie, which are the best places for gift-shopping (and free wrapping!) in my opinion. Also, take advantage of Amazon Prime, if you are really last-minute.

Last day for free standard shipping at:

• Nordstrom: 12/21 (noon ET) on gift cards and qualifying merchandise.
• Anthropologie: 12/20 (11:59 PM ET) and free upgrade after.
• Amazon Prime: 12/22 for two-day shipping.

Today, I'm sharing with you 25 Last-minute Affordable (mostly $25 and under!) and Foolproof Gift Ideas that your recipients will totally want and use. We are covering beauty, accessories, tech, home, lifestyle and more! This will be my last post for the year and we'll pick up on January 5th with some fitness and skincare posts! So without further ado, let's get started! :)

1. Monogrammed Anything:

Anthropologie has the best collection of monogrammed goods in my opnion. Anything from Trinket Dish ($7.95, on sale!), mugs ($8) to ornaments ($8) and key chain ($18), they've got you covered.

2. DIY:
If you are a DIY diva, you can make anything from body scrub, ornaments, personalized mugs,  candles, to knitting beanies or blankets. Your recipient will appreciate your one-of-a-kind creation.

My Best Purchases of 2017

Hello friends, Happy Friday!

With all the holiday sales in full swing, I think it's the perfect time to share with you my best purchases this year, whether you are looking for last-minute gift ideas or just treating yourself this holiday season. I chose only the items I've been using for at least a few months (if not the majority of the year) and mostly ones you can still get! I also linked multiple sites for each item, if you happen to receive a gift card from any of them. We'll be talking about accessories, SLG, beauty, lifestyle, and fitness favorites today and let's get started! :)

1. Halogen Cardigan Stitch Cashmere Wrap:
This color is no longer available, but you can still get it in white from Nordstrom Rack ($74.97).

                       

I got this wrap from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year and I've gotten so much wear out of it! It keeps you warm on the plane (as I've been traveling a ton this year!), driving in the morning, or just as a scarf. The color is dark enough that I don't have to worry too much with stains. But don't worry if you missed out this year, Halogen brings this style back every year!

Nordstrom Rack: Penny Deal & Last Chance Clearance Store

Hello friends, Happy Tuesday!

I'm back! I'm back! I've just been so lazy and tired to do anything else besides sleeping, Netflix and a little shopping (always!) due to all the traveling. But I'm really excited to bring you today's post!

As you know, Nordstrom Rack is one of my favorite places to shop. I love the treasure-hunt feel; you just never know what's waiting for you in store. So today, I'm sharing with you some of my favorite Nordstrom Rack finds recently, my experience shopping at the Last Chance Clearance Store (Phoenix, AZ) last week, and what I got!
