Gift guide for the guys today! Happy Friday!

gingham shirts, smartphone projector kit,

yeti cooler bag, pocket square, nylon coat,

southerner’s cookbook, patch sweater, grey sweater,

bluetooth speaker, knitted hat, yeti cooler, wine opener

 

Those non-iron gingham shirts are only $49 and come in many colors – load up! And that grey mock sweater is the perfect thing to throw over them this winter. Yeti coolers are pretty much on every guy I knows’ wishlist this year so it’s a safe bet! Any size. We have Garden & Gun’s Southerner’s cookbook and about a third of the recipes (I’m guessing) begin with bacon grease so it, too, is a good bet :) And for the guys who love sharing funny clips and streaming games – the smartphone projector kit would be awesome to have!

 

And by the way, that Coravin wine opener is not your average wine opener. Maybe you’ve noticed it at your favorite wine bar – it actually allows you to pour from your wine bottle without ever pulling the cork! This keeps your wine good for close to a year!! Great for those nicer wines you never want to open because you only want a glass :) Check it out!

Good morning! I’m so excited for it to be December already! I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving weekend was as wonderful as ours. Our trip to Palmetto Bluff was lovely and we even managed to get our Christmas tree up on Sunday!

 

Since today is Cyber Monday and all, I figured it would be appropriate to round up my favorite finds from all the huge sales! Here you go :)

A couple of highlights: Since J.Crew is having a most amazing sale (30 – 40% all) I couldn’t resist poking around in their gift guide to knock out some holiday shopping. The Italian leather gloves come in 5 different colors and are so beautiful. Pretty much anyone would love those red pointed flats, and that pink coat is the stuff. Need something for your brother? — this and this. Or, while it is a little bit more, both Josh and Fletcher have this fleece pullover and pull it out all the time to wear.

 

Minted is offering 20% off for anyone looking for the perfect holiday card to send this year. If you’ve already checked that off your list then the art marketplace is a favorite source of mine for unique art! You may remember Fletcher has this print in his room. And then of course photo calendars are always a great gift idea for grandparents (and Minted’s styles are actually really cool).

 

Between you and me, Shopbop’s site wide Cyber Monday deal makes me want to buy everything on my wishlist. Like this checked cape scarf, one for me one for a friend. Or this short sleeve pullover, one for me one for sis-n-law. And this adorable stripe robe, one for me one for mom. Oh and these texting mittens – how awesome are they?!

 

Ledbury (one of my favorite spots for Josh) is offering 30% off site wide! Take off 20% at Land of Nod for any kids on your list. Furbish is taking 20% off all orders. I’m still finding new awesome sale finds at Nordstrom like this belted jacket and this flared turtleneck top that’s only $36. I mean where has that been hiding?? And Serena & Lily is offering 25% off everything today :) Happy Cyber Monday, Friends!

As I do every year, I’m turning to the Land of Nod to find some of the best gifts for kids. No shortage of fun toys over there ranging from big to small stocking stuffers. Now’s the time to shop because they’re offering 20% off + free shipping. And in case you’re new to the world of Land of Nod, they’re not one of those sites that regularly offer discounts. Correct me if I’m wrong loyalists, but this might be the only discount they offer before Christmas.

play teepees, jess brown doll, play kitchen set,

astronaut sleeping bag, play dollhouse, kids play table,

bird wings dress up, wooden workbench & tools, fox chair

 

You can’t go wrong with a teepee (not to mention it looks great set up by the Christmas tree). And both of my kids have LON’s sleeping bags on their wishlist. And if it were me, I’d have a whole room full of those adorable Jess Brown dolls :)

 

Land of Nod’s 20% off sale + free shipping ends tomorrow night – Happy shopping!

Hope y’all had a nice weekend! Here’s a little of my life lately…

 

Can’t even express my excitement about last week’s photoshoot at my home with Real Simple magazine and photographer Francesco Lagnese. Look for us in April’s issue!!

Weekend before last we co-hosted a a beach bonfire party for neighbor friends and it was so much fun! Perfect fall family activity :)

With the cooler temperatures come many, many pots (or more like le creusets) of soup at my house. This particular day I added cabbage to my chicken soup and loved the simple addition.

Spent a Friday on the golf course with friends volunteering for a cause at the Cap’t Cliff Memorial golf tournament.

I WAS all concerned about our ivy plants not growing, until my instagram friends said that it’s normal for the first year. The more you know.

A little obsessed with the new greetabl site! You pick out a collapsible box design, choose some instagram pictures to personalize it, and then pick a prize to put in it and then it ships off to a friend. So much fun! And I love how it’s going to simplify some holiday gifting.

With my friends Grace and Haskell at Garden & Gun’s southern cookbook launch party. I haven’t had time to make any of the recipes yet but I have about 50 ear marked. Also, I’m wearing this stripe shirtdress and this necklace.

Yet another dinner at The Ordinary (with some photo-bombers).

A couple of weekends ago we headed up to the Clemson area with friends. It was the kids’ first tailgate (we didn’t take them into the game though). Fun for all.

Have y’all tried NUDE Skincare? I’m really, really loving it (and I try what seems like a million products).  I especially love the deep cleansing mask and the brightening fizzy powder wash.

New pillows from artist friends Rebecca Atwood and Lulie Wallace.

This past weekend we headed up to the mountains in North Carolina with 3 other couples and had such a nice time. Love getting away with friends.

I found Lilly the perfect little plaid peplum top for the holidays at Old Navy. So simple and cute!

It pairs perfectly with leggings or skinny jeans.

And you might remember these cute old navy ballet flats from last month’s post – still a favorite over here.

Right now Old Navy has an up to 50% off sale going on so it’s a great time to find some cute things and beat the holiday rush! I also really love this adorable pj set and this fair isle sweater for me :)
