bff gift guide

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

There is just something about this time of year that gets me so excited to spend time with friends and family. This year I'm extra excited because one of my bests is flying into Chicago from Dallas the weekend before Christmas, and we are meeting her there for a girl's trip. Usually, if we are in the same place, we try to get together for Friendsmas and do a gift exchange. It's sometimes a struggle to find something that everyone will like, so I put together a little gift guide that has something for just about everyone - all under $40!

I can't wait to post about our girl's trip - we have a ton of fun things planned! Do you and your BFFs get together this time of year? What are some great gifts you've gotten in the past? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for reading! XO

Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus, frittatas!"

It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was talking about how to host a successful Friendsgiving. Isn't it crazy how fast this holiday season is going? Christmas is just over 2 weeks away, and many of us have a lot of parties to attend, and some may even be hosting! I feel like Friendsmas is made best by these four things: music, food, drink, and of course, your outfit. If you're in charge of Friendsmas this year, here's some tips on how to host it successfully:
