My closet definitely does not hold all my clothes.  I am currently super jealous of one of my friends who is turning a spare bedroom into a closet!  Until that day comes for me, I will stick with my current system of packing away my seasonal clothes twice a year.  It is kind of fun at the start of fall/winter to open up my totes of sweaters, boots, and jackets.  Texas fall and winter is all of like 4 months, so I haven’t seen most of these clothes since about April.  It is almost as exciting as getting new clothes, almost. 🙂  I also love to start mixing my old and new winter items together.  I love to hit up J.Crew for some basic winter sweaters.  They have a timeless look to them, and they are great quality.  I usually buy 2 or 3 from them every year.  This sweater pairs so perfectly with my new quilted vest from Old Navy.  I always have to have something attention getting in my outfit, and this necklace is just that.  I love how it peeks out from under the vest.  I just updated my Shop Page to change the seasonal must-haves from Fall to Winter.  Check it out if you are looking for some winter fashion inspiration!  Thanks so much for swinging by the blog today!!

Gift Guide for the Dog Lover

Christmas Gift Guide: Gift Ideas for Dogs

| DETAILS |

SHERPA Deluxe Pet Carrier  | CHUCK IT! Indoor Ball  | TARGET Dog Brick Interactive Toy  | FOLD 2 GO Travel Pet Bowls  | DOG FASHION Tuxedo Bandana  | KONG Wubba Toy  | KONG Air Dog Balls  | BAUBLEBAR Jiff Pet Collar  | HENRI BENDEL Bone Dog Bowl  | ZACK & ZOEY Dog Blanket Coat  | TERRABONE Edible Chew Bones  | NORDSTROM Dog Bed  | BED,BATH & BEYOND Love Paw Treat Jar  | HARRY BARKER Dog Biscuits

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.
