Holiday Gift Guide | $100 & Under

It blows my mind that Christmas is just five weeks away. So I thought it would the perfect time to start little gift guide! Gift guides are one of my favorite posts; I love that bloggers find items that are so unique, and I believe it makes Christmas shopping just a little easier!

I'm a big fan of unique gifts, and finding gifts are sentimental and that goes with people's personalities. I picked the items below because I think  they could be that one thing that your family or friends are missing in their home.

1. Skull Wall Art  |  2. Ella Earbuds  |  3. Big Spoon, Little Spoon Pillow Set  |  4. MARC by Marc Jacobs Bracelet  |  5. "Hold" Utensil Holder  |  6. Golden Patina Star Plate  |  7. Heart Mug |  8. Rosanna La Cite Pitcher  |  9. Blue Man Bicolor Earrings

Libby The Bug

Photos - Rachel Kaye Photography  Outfit - Down To Earth

(This post is going to be mushy and a little dramatic but bare with me.)

So yesterday I hit a little milestone in my life and bought a car! Well, me and the credit union did, but I STILL, bought a new car but got rid of my little bug. Not going to lie I had a little cry sesh after driving away because of all the memories in that bug. I met Matt when I had a bug; I got Millie when I had the bug when I started this blog and for a few outfits, it was quite the backdrop! Lol! That little bug was my changing room for MANY outfit posts. Lol as many of you can relate. Or maybe some of you are actually organized with your outfit posts, unlike me.
Anyways, Libby the bug was great, and I loved her but was time for a big girl car. (That I freaking love and am super stoked about.) Buuuut, I love you little Libby bug. I hope you make another teenage girl feel just as sassy driving you as you did for me.

Yes, I know I'm dramatic.

Local Lovin' | Vander Mill Ciders

Last week Matt and I took the week off! The day before we left for Traverse City we had dropped Millie off at my parents and on our way home we decided to stop by Vander Mill and check it out! Prior to going, I had purchased their ciders at Horrocks, and I enjoyed them! Their ciders are delicious as well as their food!

One thing I REALLY love about Vander Mill Ciders is that they make everything in the store/restaurant, their menu changes with season. They get all of the food and produce from local farmers, so whatever you eat and drink there, know you're supporting local! 

The whole place was super neat. The people were great, food and drinks were fantastic and the whole restaurant had a really awesome vibe to it.

This top is one of my favorites, I think it's super versatile. I've worn it dressed up with a pencil skirt then dressed it down as you see here! I'm a big fan of printed clothing lately; there's something about a bold print that can pull an outfit together, I mean how boring would this outfit be if I just wore a plain tee?
