Gift Guide: Splurges

There is always something "big" on my Christmas list each year. This year, I asked for new bedding, but certainly in years past electronics, fancy clothes and jewelry definitely made the list. If I could make a list of entirely "splurge" items, here are my top favorites!

|| concert/event tickets ||
For the last few years, we've gotten concert tickets in our stockings. Last year, it was Kenny Chesney/Eric Church tickets, and not only are they a fun surprise, but our family goes together, so these events are things we look forward to for months! Most of our events have gone through Ticketmaster or LiveNation.

|| jackets ||
I have searched high and low for the perfect quilted jacket. LL Bean has been sold out of theirs since September, and I couldn't ask someone to buy me a Burberry one that I have coveted for years. This Barbour one would make the perfect middle-man. It is even on sale! It is classic, adorable, and would look perfect with all of my Lilly outfits!

|| fancy bracelets ||
I'm a sucker for any fun bracelets to add to my daily stack. Of course, this David Yurman bangle would be perfect (and of course be a perfect match with my Albion Ring), and since I'm making a serious effort to invest in more yellow gold pieces, I would love this cutout cuff from Design Darling.

|| a little black purse ||
I think that every girl needs the perfect little black bag. I love anything from kate spade, but this cross-body is the perfect size, and the bow detail is too darling for words! I think anyone would love to see this under their tree!

|| pretty flats ||
I love me some Tory Burch flats. My feet on the other hand, hate them. A co-worker of mine shared some wonderful secrets about how to get them to stretch to fit (and not murder) your feet. Since my current flats have already torn up my feet, and are on their way to the trash pretty quickly, I am dying for a new pair to try out all of her secrets. I've been searching for a pair of quilted black flats, and these most certainly fit the bill.

|| an iPad ||
I bought my iPad as a gift to myself for my 25th Birthday. What can I say? I love the thing! The only thing I use my computer for anymore is blogging, and storing my music. I love the convenience of having a portable device that I can read on (that is bigger than my iPhone), watch movies on, and being able to travel without lugging my laptop around is truly a game changer. I've heard great things about the iPad Mini as well, but I personally wanted something a little bigger!

If you had no limit on gifts, what would be on your list!?

Currently Obsessed: Dogeared Jewelry

For Christmas this year, my Mom got me the most simple, easy necklace ever.
I think I have worn this everyday since then because it is absolutely perfect for everything. It is small, silver, and the pearl is appropriate for any outfit. After browsing the Dogeared website recently, I found some more necklaces that would make perfect additions to this necklace stack.

And these necklaces make the perfect gift too. With so many graduations coming up, wouldn't one of these necklaces be the perfect gift?

Must See, Must Read, Must Hear...

For this Tuesday's musts...

Must See;

Ever since I finished the final Harry Potter book a few months back, I have been dying to see the movie! Everyone has told me that this one is the best, so I just need to track this one down (preferably for free somewhere...) and take the time to watch!

Must Read;

Crazy Little Thing by Tracy Brogan. I read this in just a few days, and LOVED it. While it was super predictable (just like every other book I read...), Brogan's writing style made it worthwhile. She is sarcastic, hilarious, and witty, while keeping me hooked into the story. This is definitely the perfect book to throw into your bag on your way to the beach!

Must Hear;


It's A Beautiful Day by Michael Buble. How could you NOT be in a happy mood after listening to this song!? I'm mildly obsessed. 

Must Have;
This watch has been mysteriously floating around Pinterest for a while, and I've finally tracked this one back to Swell Caroline. Everything about it is customizable, and I have to have it. The best part? It's only $66! Totally affordable! And it's monogrammed.. need I say more?

Must Laugh;

This video has been going around the cyber-verse for a while apparently, but I just saw it on the Today show this morning. I am dying -- this girl is hilarious!

What are your must haves this week!?
