Birthday Gifts for Her/ Mid-Summer Gift Guide

Hi Everyone! I apologize for my first post of the week being on a Thursday. I am currently on a family vacation in Wildwood Crest and left my computer off for a few days - but I am back today with a mid-summer gift guide! My birthday happens to be coming up (August 15) and also my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend (August 5) and he's always a little lost with what to get me. For our anniversary, we typically just get each other tickets to a concert or comedy show and call it even. However, he still likes to get me a little something for my birthday. The below items featured in this gift guide do not only have to be for a birthday or from a boyfriend. In my opinion, I think they are great gifts for a girl for any occasion. So ladies, if you need to get your friend a gift in the near future - these could work for you too!

Of course these are all based on my personal taste, style, and interests, so feel free to leave feedback in the comments below! :)

Boyfriend's Guide to Gift-Giving

Hello Gentleman! If you ended up here, you probably have a girlfriend, wife, or woman in your life that you need to get a gift for...and you probably have no idea what to get her. Don't get discouraged - it's mainly our faults. I can admit, like many others, I am a tough girl to shop for. I just want something that I can use or wear every day, especially if a person I care about is spending their money on me. Next time you're with your girlfriend or wife, take note of what she is wearing. Does she wear more silver toned jewelry or gold? Does she have any makeup on her eyelids? Does she even have her ears pierced, and if so, what style earring does she usually wear? Just try to be a little more observant, and I promise you, it will spark an idea. As a safety net, you can explore the below items I've picked out for you - I love all of them!

Good luck!

Friday Five: Friends & Family

It's that wonderful time of year again (no, not the Holidays). I'm talking about Lord & Taylor's friends and family promo! For years and years the friends and family promotion has given my mom and I an excuse to buy as much as we'd like from Lord & Taylor. I mean, come on, mostly everything is 25% off! (cosmetics are 10% off!) If there is anytime to buy that expensive bag or watch that you've had your eye on, here's your chance. If you need some ideas and inspiration, below are 5 items that I have and love (some are newer versions) that you can get your hands on from Lord & Taylor.
