Take A Bite

I love a good gift guide, I think I've mentioned this before. Emily, Liz, Julia, Meg and Katie, all have some great ones, but honestly, I don't think I've ever actually bought something I saw on a gift guide. They are all so cute, but usually filled with your run of the mill standard gift ideas.

I've put together a few of my favorite things, some goodies I've found around the web, and a few things I'm actually gifting this year. Hopefully this gift guide is worth your time and helps spark some ideas for your own gift giving needs!

1. Scout 3-Way Bag ($22). I have this bag and it is fabulous. It fits all of my toiletries and makeup when I travel. I love how the separate compartments keep my lotion from spilling all over my blush brush etc.

2. Blue Eye Brown Eye calligraphy set ($60). Lauren from BEBE calligraphy is my girl! I've taken her class twice and she taught me so much. You can now buy her beginner set and do on online class via Brit+Co.

3. Slouchy pom pom beanie ($9). The perfect gift for friends or roommates!

4. Yeah...ImmaEatThat black bean brownie mix ($9). I already bought a few of these mixes. I saved one for myself and sent two to my foodie friends Molly and Savannah. I made the brownies yesterday and they are incredibly fudgy and delicious (and healthy!)

5. Gold ear buds ($9). For all those people getting the new iPhone 6 for Christmas, 1. I'm jealous 2. these would be perfect for them.

6. Moscow Mule mugs ($17). A hot item this Christmas, but these hammered copper ones are my favorite!

7. Fujifilm instant camera ($100). In our generation of having to take a picture of everything, I'm all about this instant/polaroid camera.

8. Beaded by W tassel necklaces ($30). You've heard me gush about my girl Whitney, but her necklaces make the perfect gift! Email her at beadedbyw@gmail.com to get your order in before Christmas.

9. Olivia Pope wine glasses ($15). Perfect for your wino/Scandal obsessed friend or family member.

10. Evelyn Henson iPhone cases ($34). I've posted about her prints, but I'm kind of squealing over her phone cases.

Happy gift giving!

My friends from my New York trip are about to make fun of me for this post. I discovered a love for beanies while in New York. People there throw them on with anything to make there beanie fashionable. Even the most boyish beanie suddenly looks chic when paired with leather leggings, an oversized chunky sweater and booties.

I was a little ahead of the game and bought one a few months ago and finally broke it out while we were shopping around Soho on Saturday. I then proceeded to buy two more. The beanie didn't leave my head for the next 24 hours. A huge cold front blew in this morning so you can bet I am wearing my beanie today.

I'm not crazy to have a love for beanies, they are showing up everywhere.
