This hat is so adorable! The creator says it’s part of her “hairstyles” collection (doesn’t it look like tiny little buns?) but I think it looks sweet even without that. Hats can be hit or miss even as they are so necessary in the chilly northeast— do you agree that this is a hit?

As promised, following my previous post on Valentine’s Day, lingerie for the most lingerie-friendly holiday. I tried to be as conservative with price as possible, but it can be quite difficult when lingerie can be very expensive pieces of lace and silk! That’s probably why I like it so much. I’ve found many more pieces on my Have to Have list, so if these don’t please you, check them out. I know hearts are cheesy, but they are really quite adorable on this very cheesy holiday, aren’t they? And I think I chose enough of a range that I think any girl would love them. 

Everyone has that friend who’s a huge camera buff— always snap, snap, snapping like you’re own personal paparazzo (except more often than not they’re shooting a puddle or the sky or a cool building, not you). Or maybe you’re even that friend. Cameras can produce such amazing photos, but they also inspire all of these awesome items, perfect gifts for any budding Ansel Adams or anyone addicted to Instagram. 

Get these camera items (and others) from my list here.

Do you want to get snap happy with these pieces?

The College Girl’s Gift Guide: 21 under $21 volume II

I told you I wanted to make a gift guide that was realistic for college students. I made this photoset, and this is the second part. Enjoy! 

You can buy all these items here:

So, any favorites?

When you’re a student, your budget is limited, especially after all those expensive books and late night chinese food and whatever else. When you’re shopping for the holidays, then, you can’t just be going crazy buying those beautiful (but expensive) gift guides that suggest 12 months of cheeses or Miu Miu booties (as much as you might want them). Enter the College Girl’s Gift Guide: 21 under $21. Basically, I have chosen my 21 top gift picks for this holiday season so that everything in this photoset (and on my Have to Have list) is $21 or less. This is only part 1— the rest are coming. For now, here’s my list:

So, guys, what do you think? Does this give you good ideas in your budget?

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so naturally all everyone is thinking about are the Winter Holidays. This is my first pick for the perfect gift for a friend/lover/sibling/relative who likes both Harry Potter and mischief. It’s a cuff that has “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good” stamped on it and it’s $18 on Etsy. It’s just hard for me to decide who to give it to!

So, guys, what do you think? Is it “accio cuff”?

I adore this hat! I spotted it on Etsy (if you can’t tell by now, it’s one of my go to shopping destinations) and I wish it wasn’t so expensive so I could wear it all winter long. I feel like hats are unfairly out of fashion (or considered too difficult to pull off) when they can add so much awesomeness to an outfit. What do you guys think? Are hats pull-off-able?

My sister spotted this ring in the “likes” of my blog and wanted to know where she could get one. A little bit of digging and I’ve found it! And of course I have to have it.

As Buzz Lightyear would say, “To infinity! And beyond!”

The perfect way to love like a Space Ranger— adorable and a little bit nerdy. But really, how sweet is it?

I went on an Etsy finding binge (you can shop the items here) and I think I found some awesome handmade stuff! It’s hard to choose my favorite— what do you think?
