  1. HOW FREAKING CUTE! I am absolutely obsessed with this sweatpant combo! Its so neutral with little pops of color, cozy, chic! I love it! The pants are $58!
  2. The top to the matching set is also $58. I would be so happy with this as a valentines day present! Honestly I don’t think there is a better valentines day present this year!
  3. OK! There are a few reasons why I absolutely love this teddy. First, it is beautiful and you don’t even have to wear it as lingerie! You can wear it under a sweater or under another shirt or dress peeking out a bit! Second, it has underwire, so your girls will always be perky! Lastly, its incredibly affordable for only $44!
  4. These slippers are kind of a splurge at $120 but show me a cute slipper? This seems like something the girls in bridgeton would have, tell me I’m wrong!
  5. This sleeping lip mask has been a craze for awhile but I am just now jumping on board! My life has been forever changed. I apply this mask to my lips at night and wake up with the most beautiful, supple, kissable lips ever. I wake up and they are so plump and hydrated and makes applying lipstick easier than its ever been. I love this lip mask and it is definitely a staple in my night routine now, plus its only $22!
  6. Flowers are always a good idea and this gorgeous arrangement comes with the vase and a bath bomb for $145
  7. I feel like this godiva cookie set is underrated. These biscuits are absolutely divine and only $25 for 32 of them. I would be just as happy receiving this box vs a truffle box!
  8. I love little dainty bracelets like this and this would be a great present for literally any woman in your life at really any age range and its only $38!
  9. This limited edition candle is $74 and an absolute dream. One day I will make myself purchase a dipptque candle for myself but the saver in me just won’t let it happen right now. For any candle lovers in your life, they want this candle, they just don’t want to pay the price, so it would make an incredible gift for them!
  10. You might think this vase is weird right now, but trust me, you are going to be seeing vases like this everywhere and at a price point of $44 its not too bad to jump on the wagon right now!

I found SO many great things for valentines day this year that I couldn’t fit in this post but you can look through them below:

8 Of My Top Picks To Put On Your Registry

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

  1. New cookware is so important to add to your wedding registry! Kev and I still have our old pots and pans from when we first moved in over 4 years ago, all of our stuff is mismatched and from Ikea! I added this stock pot from All Clad, it comes with a strainer right in it so when you’re done cooking you just lift up the strainer from the pot and let it drain out right into the pot you were cooking in! How cool!
  2. A teapot is such a classic item to have on your registry and I’ve had my eye one this one for years. I love Mackenzie Childs and I think this teapot is not only absolutely beautiful and useful but also will double as decor!
  3. A Vacuum! I feel like many people will forget to add such a useful and expensive household tool! Kevin and I actually already have a dyson but it is a cordless one, its great for little messes but not great when you are trying to clean your home. It dies after 8 minutes and needs to be recharged. I added this one from Miele because it is heavy duty and plugs into the wall so you will never have to wait for a charged battery again!
  4. Dinnerware is something I am really looking forward to receiving at my bridal shower. We have actually never bought a dinnerware set and we have just been using mismatched hand me downs from relatives. It will be such a nice change to have a complete set!
  5. Kevin and I bought a few sets of flatware from Ikea years and years ago, they work but they are nothing nice to look at. I added this set of flatware to my registry along with the matching serving utensils.
  6. This slow cooker was one of the first things I added to my registry and one of the things that I am most eager to receive! I love, love, love using a slow cooker to make dinners. It is such an easy tool to have in your kitchen, mix everything up in the morning and set it and forget it. The slow cooker does all the work and you get delicious whiffs of your dinner cooking throughout the day! I think this will come even more in handy when we start to have kids as well! Plus, what I really love about this slow cooker is that you are able to brown your meats in it before cooking the rest of the meal. I have had to cook some of the meat on the stove first and then transfer everything over to the slow cooker, but with this slow cooker you no longer have to use another pan!
  7. A personalized item! I think it is so nice to add something that can be personalized, so I added this doormat to my registry. I think it is such a nice gift to receive at a bridal shower!
  8. Fine China! A lot of people are not registering for this anymore and that makes my old soul so sad. My mom would always take out her fine china for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions and I always loved that special touch. It always made everything feel more elevated and I liked how it was different from the day to day plates we always used. I am excited to keep the tradition with my family with Kevin and our future kiddos!

4 Tips To Creating Your Wedding Registry

  1. Upgrade! Look around at what you use all the time now, chances are you are in need for a serious upgrade of that item. You have probably had it since college or got it from Ikea when you moved in together. Yeah, it might still get the job done but now is the time to add a bright shiny new one with brand new technology to your registry! – A lot of brides feel guilty about doing this but you shouldn’t, your guests want to get you what you want and need and if this upgrade is in their price range, they will be happy to get it for you!
  2. Price Ranges! Make sure you add a lot of gifts in different price ranges as well. Some guests will be happy to get you something in the $150+ range and others not so much so make sure to add gifts that are $50 and less too!
  3. More Gifts Than People! If you have 50 guests going to your bridal shower make sure you have at least 100 gifts on your registry! I was surprised when I read this the first time too but it made sense, you really want to make sure you have enough gifts in everyones price ranges and you really want to give your guests enough options to choose from your registry. Also don’t forget to check your registry often to see if you should be adding more to your registry.
  4. Don’t Expect To Get Everything! You are not going to get everything on your registry, but hopefully you are registering somewhere that has completion discounts for you so you can save 10% off or more when you complete your registry.

So Excited for the Holidays! I’m kicking off the start of the holiday shopping with a gift guide for her! These are all things I would love to find under my tree next month!

1. I have been taking more walks and longer walks lately so having this fabulous Lululemon jacket would be super great especially now as the weather is getting colder. I tried on this jacket and absolutely loved the fit of it! It was so flattering and its only $118!

4. This Moncler hat is gorgeous but I’m telling you right now, it is not a steal. I love the cream cable knit texture of the hat and the gray fur pom on top but I don’t love the price at $455.

5. Jcrews Cashmere on the other hand is pretty affordable! Plus, a staple cable knit cashmere never goes out of style. This sweater is only $168 and 40% off!

6. This Louis Vuitton Keepall bag has been on my mind the past few years, I have been talked out of it but I always keep coming back to it. I love the simplicity of it and now with the potential move I think this would be a great time to get this bag for going back and forth from my parents house to our new house! The cost is $1980, honestly not that bad for such a big bag!

7. Lululemon Wunder Under Leggings are a cult favorite. I have only one pair of leggings from Lululemon and they have a crazy design on them. I would love to get a classic black legging! These are just under $100!
