cliche gift guide

I arise from the dead is what I want to say, but not so much how I wanted to say it. But here is proof I still exist and very periodically click on over to this space and brush off the cobwebs. The update is a totally different story. For now, since the only thing that seems to be going on in blog world is gift guides (yawn), I decided to join in on the fun. I mean like they say if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I won't bore you on what you should be buying your lovely smelling man in your life, or the little brother who's #1 priority is still sports, but more what you should buy for you. Because in my book? You deserve it.

I tend to be the worst at gift giving (whoops – ask anyone close to me) because I tend to just spend my only currency on myself. So take this guide as you will – pin it to your 'wishlist' pinterest board (because yea, we all have those), consider buying a few odds and ends for your mumsies/sisters/cousins/super trendy best friends, and obviously yourself.

P.S: Don't forget to wrap once received and put it under it under the tree! Or Hannukah bush.

– 'Merci' cards. Perfect for sending long lost cousins a trendy thank you to counteract their shitty gift giving. 

– Vogue and Coffee. To fuel the artsy bloggers motivation. Oh and to create a perfect instagram photo

– Scout tee via Sincerely Jules. One step closer to being a famous blogger, she whispers to herself.

– Cashmere Scarf via Zara. Yes, Zara scarves are all the rage.

– Amy Stone print via Design Darling. I could live in Amy's instagram photos for the rest of my life and be fully satisfied. On the reals, everything about her eye for beautiful visuals is something I admire. always.

– Blanket via Lulu & Georgia. Yes. Blankets are everything.

You will not find me in a mall for the next 15 days or so. Comin' for ya, online shopping. As for the blog world? Let's hope I don't go milk-carton missing again anytime soon. Focker out.
