Tuesday Ten: Christmas PJs

How cute are these Christmas PJs?!  They're perfect for this time of year, especially to wear on Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.  You'll look adorable and be super cozy and very festive.  I love how pretty PJ sets have been making a comeback in the last few years and I am a huge fan of all PJ Salvage pajamas.  While I love all of my picks here, my favorite is definitely the Thermal Knit Sleep Shirt, the Christmas light pattern is just so much fun.  Pick up any of these this week and you'll be good to go for Christmas!  Do you like to wear festive pjs for Christmas or do you just stick to what you usually wear to sleep?

Gifts for Guys

If you're like me then gift shopping for guys is not always the easiest task.  However, this year I've done some research and put together a list of options for the men in your life; there's something for every guy from your boyfriend to your father to your best friend.  My favorite picks are the Beer Making Kit and Homemade Gin Kit because they look like they're super fun and they would make for a cute activity to do with your boyfriend.  The rest of the list includes everything from a cozy flannel to a NutriBullet to a high end shave kit - all for under $100!  I hope that this list can help you with any of your last minute guy shopping and even give you some inspiration or other gifts throughout the year.

Tuesday Ten: Gifts Under $75

Hello from the worst blogger ever!  The end of the semester and finals have me in a complete tailspin, which has unfortunately left me neglecting this space.  However, today is my last day at school so hopefully I will be back to a more consistent schedule this week.  I did manage to take a little break from studying to put together this fun gift guide with a collection of presents all for under $75.  I absolutely love everything on this list - I've even included my absolute favorite pajamas (in a too cute print!) and panties, both of which make great gifts!  I also have to mention the Kate Spade Stationary Set, which is just adorable, I feel like stationary is a classic gift that gets forgotten today however it's one of my favorite things to receive.  The rest of the list includes everything from a super luxe bath and body set to a beautiful hair clip, and there is something for just about everyone!

Tuesday Ten: Gifts Under $25

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

Right now I am obsessed with all things gold!  It's a perfect color for all year round, but feels extra special around the holidays.  Everything pictured here is priced at $25 or under and there is something for everyone.  These items are the best to give to friends, coworkers, and anyone who you want to give a little something special to.  They're a great way to show your love and appreciation without breaking the bank!  It's also great to have a few of these on hand in case you're in need of a last minute gift for anyone.  While I love everything on this list I think the Lip Tease Mug is my absolute favorite - it's simple, chic, and so pretty.  Any of these picks will make for a fun gift and is sure to make a big hit!

November 2015 on Instagram

I am so excited that December is here!  I can't believe how fast the year has gone by, but this month brings so many fun times.  While I'm super excited for December, November was a great month too and I have lots to share, including a very warm Thanksgiving!  Here is my Instagram (follow me at @theblushblonde) recap of what was going on with me last month.

I kicked off the month of November with a horrible sinus infection/strep throat combination that just wouldn't quit.  I went home to rest up and after going to Starbucks to get some tea I headed to the beach to breath in the salt air.  It was an overcast day, but the temperature was just right and I thought the water and sky looked beautiful.

One day while I was in Old City in Philadelphia I made a wrong turn and happened upon the spot where Ben Franklin's house once stood.  There is so many gorgeous historical sites in the city and it's always fun to find ones I haven't seen before.

Leaves are one of my favorite things about fall!  They're so pretty, even when they're on the ground.  I was really loving these yellow leaves and I couldn't resist taking a picture of them.

There is a small cafe by school that makes the most amazing Cinnamon Bun French Toast.  I'm actually pretty sure I could eat it every day, I'm kind of obsessed with it.  My Dad came to visit me one day to bring me a few things I needed from home and we went and had brunch at the cafe where I snapped this shot.  I've literally never gotten anything else on the menu before because this is just too good!

This was taken at a tailgate during Homecoming.  Homecoming is one of my favorite events at school and I had a great time this year.  I invited my sister to come along and we had a blast!  It was also the perfect excuse to wear adorable fall outfits.

On Veteran's Day the entire campus was outlined in American' flags, which was beautiful.  I loved this gesture and took this picture while walking back from class.

Cozying up is my favorite way to spend a Sunday.  Wearing warm socks and reading magazines in bed is a great way to do just that.  It's also a very good way to procrastinate from doing your homework!

This is my favorite blanket scarf and I love to wear it with this loose green cardigan I have.  These two items combined with my dark nails were making me feel so fall!  Definitely one of my favorite looks.

In New Jersey it was so unseasonably warm on Thanksgiving that we decided to head to the beach for a little bit.  We walked around (barefoot!) and took some great pictures.  I love how this picture with my Mom turned out and I'm always thankful for her!

This picture was taken the same day as the one above.  It really was the most beautiful day on the beach and I'm so glad we got to enjoy it!

So this was my November in pictures!  Come check me out on Instagram (@theblushblonde) and follow along with me to see more of what's here!  How was your November?
