{Valentine Gift Guide: For Men}

Morning Peeps! So last week I gave you a few Valentine gift ideas for you to forward on to your sweetie - and today, I thought it would only be fair to provide some gift ideas for you to give in return. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite picks for the guys...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Burberry Cuff Links: The man that wants and can pull these off, is the man that I will marry {love them}

2. Leather Flask: I kinda love this...{classy}

3. Bottle of Scotch: This is a very manly gift right - pair it with the flask and you're good to go...

4. Anthropologie Lingerie: Well... this is really for you, but for him, but for you {wink wink}

5. Duffel Bag: I'm diggin this bag big time...

6. Salvatore Ferragamo Moccasins: I know you're not supposed to buy a man a pair of shoes {you know the saying} but these are amazing and I would have to splurge...

7. Anchor's Chip of the Month: I would prefer wine of the month {lol} but this is a fab idea, definitely a cool gift for him to take to Poker night...

8. Engraved Bracelet: I love this in gunmetal...and at a great price too...

Now all I need is the man {LOL} - happy shopping ladies!!!

{Andy Warhol Painting Class}

On Tuesday, me and one of my girlfriends went to a Wine & Dine event and had a really nice time. Essentially, you send them a picture {based on the theme of the night - ours was Andy Warhol}, they print and adhere the picture onto the canvas, you bring in a bottle of wine, they supply the canvas, paint, brushes, wine glasses, etc... and you start painting away. Here's the process along with my final masterpiece....no laughing or poking fun at my sweet skillz allowed - k?

If you live in the Raleigh area you should definitely check it out...I know I'll be back for sure.

PS. This masterpiece will not be hanging in my house - it was just for fun!

{Valentines Day Gift Guide}

With Valentines Day right around the corner, I thought I would post a guide with some fantastic gift ideas for you to forward to your sweetie. Since there's still time, start dropping hints now and let them know that gifts don't have to be particularly red or heart shaped {like the awful stuff you can find at the front of any supermarket store}, it just has to radiate love! Good luck ~ and for those that don't have a sweetie, I demand that you purchase something special for yourself ~ I'll be buying the Burberry robe as it was totally and utterly love at first sight...

{Pillow Love: Be Still Shop}

Be Still Shop on Etsy is one of my favorite shops simply because I'm obsessed with pillows! The shop was created by Australian Industrial and Graphic Designer, Sarah Robinson, after she moved from Bangkok in 2008 and fell in love with all the fabrics and patterns she found there.  To shop Sarah's store, click here - and check out my faves below:
