Gift Guide

For my first-ever guest post (!), I asked my good buddy, Mrs. F. from SecondHandSewn to enlighten us with some Valentine's Day goodness.

Check out her fabulous picks, and be sure to visit her blog if you're in need of style inspiration, design inspiration and everything-else-inspiration!

so my buddy j-w invited me to guest post on her fantabulous blog a few weeks ago... and here i am! super honored and excited to be deemed worthy of choosing v-day jewels by the jewelrywhore herself. i used to hate valentine's day. actually, my friends and i said that the one thing we liked about valentine's day was the 50% off chocolate the day after (and let's be serious, we all like that). these days, i think about valentine's day a bit differently. it seems like we don't tell each other often enough how much we care, and so many people have a really hard time expressing their feelings. why not have a whole day dedicated to reminding us to love on our friends and family... or making it a bit easier for those who have a hard time saying the dreaded 3 words? anyway, i digress. my husband and i tend to keep most holidays (except christmas) pretty low budget, so my gift picks are all under $50. here we go!

She is always completely put together, looking effortlessly glamorous. A head-turner for sure. She's not afraid to wear sparkles from head-to-toe.

Father's Day is a toughie for me, as I'm sure it is for everyone else on the planet. What doesn't your dad have? Does he neeeed any more stuff?
