So I am totally 100% one of those crazy dog owners who completely spoils their dog because after all it is my child. If I am putting together holiday gift guides, I cannot forget my little pup. My dog is a toy destroyer! She can easily destroy the toys labeled super durable in like 3o minutes! Kong and Chuck It are two of my favorite dog toy brands because they last the longest in my house. That little Kong Wubba is the longest lasting toy we have. It lasted about 2 years before I had to buy a new one, for my dog that is amazing! Another toy I love is an interactive toy. These are kind of trial and error depending on your dog. Sometimes my dog is all about finding the treats and somedays she just wants to chew on the moving pieces. I have a French Bulldog with tons of little allergies. The Terrabone is from my favorite local Houston pet store, Natural Pawz. They have helped me navigate the world of food allergies for dogs with their vast knowledge of the different food options. If you live in Houston, you should definitely check them out, and if you don’t they do have an online store! 😉 You can’t forget keeping a dog stylish! Ok my dog refuses to wear clothes, but she will put her winter coat on when the weather dips below freezing. The one I have is almost exactly like the one above. It is super easy to put on because it Velcros across the body. When doing your holiday shopping don’t forget the pets! My little pup will definitely have the most presents under the tree again this year. For you cat lovers, I included a few fun gift ideas in the second widget below! If you scroll to the second page of the widget, there are wine themed cat treats. I mean I know what I’m getting my sister’s cat this year!
I hope you all scored some great Cyber Monday deals yesterday!! My outfit posts return tomorrow with a fun layered winter look, see you then!

WHAT I’M BUYING!
Curious what I’m buying over this major shopping holiday? While I can’t share the gifts I have purchased, here is a look at some of the items I have purchased for me. I just can’t pass up such awesome savings! My shopping goal was to add a few basic pieces, a little bit of jewelry, and a casual coat. I’m still searching for some OTK boots in a good price range. So far my size is always sold out!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving!! After morning puppy cuddles and coffee, I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade because my college (SFA) was marching in it, and then headed off to my Grandma’s house for dinner. I LOVE her dressing (or stuffing) and could eat just that and be happy! With Thanksgiving over, it is time to start preparing my holiday party outfits. I love a cozy and chic holiday outfit for parties. One of my favorite things about leather leggings is that they give an instant chic factor to any look. I can toss them on with an oversized sweater and instantly look a little glammed up. This may be one of my favorite sweater purchases so far this season. It is slightly oversized and long, so perfect to pair with leggings, but also so soft and cozy. It comes in a few other colors, and I am seriously considering going back for another one. This is definitely a lounge around the house all day kind of sweater, but it also looks super cute to head out to a party in with the right ensemble. I added some nude pumps and sparkly jewelry to create the perfect look for a semi-casual holiday party.
