Three NYE Looks for Under $250

It’s hard to get your mind past Christmas when it’s only a few days away, but New Years Eve celebrations quickly follow, and it’s best to think ahead when it comes to the big outfit.

With all of the money spent on holiday gifts, the last thing I need to do is spend a fortune on a NYE outfit. I’ve put together three looks (dress, shoes, purse and jewelry) for under $250. My favorite look is first one with the neutral pinks and tans, but I love the pop of pink in the second and the sassy animal print Kate Spade dress in the third. You can hover over the items and click on the link to buy them yourself.

Favorite Looks of the Week December 19, 2014

Favorite Looks of the Week

This week has seriously been a whirlwind, and I didn’t have much time to peruse my favorite fashion blogs until Thursday night after Isla had gone to bed. My gosh – I love fall fashion. I die over Blair Eadie’s skirt, Rachel Parcell’s red coat, and Lauren Murphy’s sequined top (all linked below).

These ten favorite looks of the week all make me want to go shopping, which is not a wise idea right now after ordering a million Christmas gifts for family and friends. I went to buy a dress for Isla’s Christening, but after trying on a million and not being satisfied (a milk-filled chest creates cleavage in everything – not a fan!), I decided to wear a dress from one of my wedding showers. It’s classy and conservative, and I’m glad to get another wear out of it.

Which of these fabulous looks is your favorite? Hope you have had a great week so far! xo

Gift Guide for the Athlete

After two gift guides for the men (Gadget Guy and Outdoorsman), two for the ladies (Hostess and Girly Girl) and one for the little ones (Baby’s First Christmas), I have created a unisex present guide – for the athletes. I am drooling over some of these gifts, most especially the Tory Burch Fitbit Flex bracelet. It is perfect.

Gift Guide for the Outdoorsman

Last week, I published a Gift Guide for the Gadget Guy, which involved lots of research and consultation with my dad and Sasha. I had to do the same with today’s guide for the outdoorsman, which, conveniently, is what both these men consider themselves. While in Durango this summer, we got to test out a lot of outdoorsy products, as we spent the majority of the day outside. We bought these Bunjo chairs, which are seriously amazing. We tried them out at Sports Authority and sat there for quite a while – too comortable to get up!

My dad has this CamelBak water purifying bottle, which after watching endless episodes of Naked and Afraid (guilty!), I wish the contestants could have! It’s genius. We recently bought our good friend this cordless Dewalt drill, which Sasha geeks out over (and Brett did too!).

Gift Guide for Baby’s First Christmas

If you’ve been following Snapshots & My Thoughts for awhile, you’ll know I’m very excited about celebrating Isla’s first Christmas. I outlined many of our family traditions as part of the weeklong ‘Isla’s First Christmas with Carter’s’ series. All baby ‘firsts’ are so special, and there are a lot of sweet gifts you can give to your little one to mark the occasion!
