Travel Essentials

The upcoming Holiday's mean some travel will be happening.  I put together a few of my travel essentials.
First of all when picking out what to wear I always go for comfort. (Which could be why I am no fashion blogger.)  My winter travel attire is usually leggings, a VS sweatshirt, Uggs and Ray-Bans.  Comfy and warm.
I just love my monogrammed weekender bag and it's the perfect size to put all the things I want easy access to in the car.  I always bring along a pillow and blanket, hand lotion (no one wants dry skin), Ear buds, car charger, baby wipes (great for cleaning hands and spills in the car), of course snacks because I am always hungry, and I rarely leave home without a Tervis Tumbler of water.

If you aren't driving to your destination and will be flying where you might need a rental car check out Turo.    Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental service, they offer many different models of cars and price ranges depending on your needs.  You can rent anything from a mini van to a G wagon or even a Jaguar F-type.  After browsing around their site I now want to go rent a car!

If anyone tries their service out let me know I would love to hear your experiences!

Gift Guide

The Holiday's can be tough when it comes to gift giving.  I always have the hardest time figuring out what to get people.  I put together a few of my favorite gift picks and the best part is they are all under $50.  I don't mean $49.99 either like really under $50.

1.)  Essie's mini four pack of holiday polish.  I might be a polish addict.
2.) Old Navy's PJ pants.  I buy some every year, so comfy and cheap!
3.) Kate Spade Glitter Studs.  Studs are my favorite earrings to wear and these are glitter too.
4.) VS Fries before Guys Tee.  I love this shirt, it might be my life motto and its super soft.
5.) Kate Spade sticky note set.  I just really love sticky notes and think others should too.
6.)  Lilly Pulitzer Agenda.  I think an agenda for the new year is a great gift anyone could use.
7.) 6 ft iPhone cord.   Need I say more? I don't think there is such a thing as a long enough phone              cord.

The holidays is also a time we receive gifts and what better way to thank the giver than a personalized card?  My favorites of course are from Treat by Shutterfly.

You can pick from premade cards and personalize them with your own message or pictures.
If you are forgetful or short on time they will even mail your card for you.
