 Instead of a gift guide this week, I put together this post of some of my favorite sales this week. A lot of goodies on my gift guides are on sale, too so make sure to check out the guides: Gift guide page , Small Business , My Wishlist , Grandmillennial , and Cozy at Home . Check back to this post, because I may update it if I see anything else I feel would be a good fit for this post! PS- scroll to the bottom of the post to shop my specific picks! 1. Margaux Sale: 20% off site wide (with some exclusions) with code GAUXTIME . This is an amazing sale at Margaux.com. I think we all know how much I LOVE this brand. Here are some of my favorite styles: demi flats on sale for $118 , boots for $260 , and mules for $156 !  The 20% off is on the shoes and not the monogram! Just a heads up :) 2. Lake Pajamas: These pima cotton pajamas have been on my wishlist and several gift guides for so long!! This sale tends to go fast, and sell out of certain styles quickly, so shop soon if yo...

 Nothing makes me feel more warm and happy inside than the holiday season. 2020 will not take the joy out of it either, lol. The holidays will look a lot different this year, but I am still excited for them! I just wanted to look back on some holiday fun from last year, and find some similar pieces to recreate the festive looks! I know that Thanksgiving is next week, so if you need some inspo, here you go (and yes these could be considered too festive for turkey day, but its part of the holidays and plaid is a must!)   New J. Crew Skirt  and  Similar Skirt Tights Sweater Blazer White Shirt Similar Flats  (use code libby10 ) Similar Tote Scarf Similar Sweater Similar Skirt Similar Flats  (use code libby10 ) Similar Earrings Plaid Pants Turtleneck Similar Jacket Loafers Headband Beanie Similar Jacket White Skirt Tights Boots I had to throw in some Rockefeller tree photos.

  I have my third special gift guide, today. Today's guide is about gifting a cozy home experience to someone. Personally, I really need to be able to enjoy winter and not feel cooped up, so I think making your space cozy, and gifting things for a cozy space is such a great idea. It is fun to have things that make staying indoors more enjoyable! You will find things such as games, puzzles, and cozy layers in this gift guide. You can find my other gift guides here  + here   + here . Catan Board Game | Scrabble | Plaid Mug Yahtzee  |   ChappyWrap  |   Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix Womens Slippers | Mens Slippers | Womens Dudley Stephens | Mens Dudley Stephens Puzzle  |   Apple TV  |   Blackwatch PJ's  |   Sherpa Jacket  |   Popcorn Maker Games: My family loves a good game night.

Ok, I think this might be my favorite gift guide of the season! This is also a bonus Sunday gift guide (normally they go up on Wednesday!)!! I wanted to highlight one of my favorite small businesses: Carolina Dandy . Addison runs this sweet shop, and she is the best at curated all of those blue and white, perfectly chinoiserie finds! You all have someone in your life that totally fits that Grandmillennial mold: lover of ginger jars, all things blue and white, decor and a monogram here and there. Carolina Dandy   has the best things for them/ME!! Addison at  Carolina Dandy   wants to make sure you get your gift orders on time, and suggests ordering by Dec. 1 to ensure that. Enjoy this fun blue and white filled gift guide, and let me know if you have any more questions about  Carolina Dandy !!  Topiary Throw Pillow    |   White Ginger Jar Salt+Pepper Shakers Trinket Box   |   Monogrammed Scalloped Cutting Board   |   Ginger Jar ...

  I have a little update post today! I may make this into a series, but I would want to find a new title first, so if you have suggestions, leave them below! I thought it would be fun to share a few personal updates but also include sections on what I am reading, watching, drinking and shopping for! Life Updates: Like many 20-somethings in 2020, I have fought that I may need to move home. But after thinking about it A LOT, I have decided that is whats best for me at this point. It will be great to save money and spend so much time with my family before I hopefully attend medical school next fall. It will also be amazing to be there for the holidays, and not have to worry about travel. If you do not know, I am from Minnesota, but moved to New Jersey for graduate school in 2018. It was always my dream to live on the East coast and be close to NYC, and could finally live that out in 2018. I am sad to leave the East, but am vowing that I will be back soon! (So all the NJ, NY, PA, and C...

  I am sharing my own wishlist today. Every year, I feel guilty asking for things for some reason, but my mom/family always asks me for a list and to give a few suggestions! (Anyone else not like to pick out their own gifts haha? I just love the thoughtfulness and surprise element!) I tried to think of practical things and things that I will get a ton of use out of this winter and upcoming year. I think I did a good job of curating my own list, haha. If you need more gift ideas, or are not sure of what to ask for, this might be a great place to start! (you can also scroll down to shop the post!!) Check out my other Gift Guides: Core Gift Guides   |   Small Business Gift Guide Hydroflask : I drink SO much water every day. Lately, I have been using a big mason jar and straw combo that I fill up so many times per day. It gets annoying to keep refilling my cup, and I would really love a Hydroflask! I would also like a straw lid to go with it for very easy hydrating, hah...

The title of this post is true, and I was a picky reader. I would even say the phrase "I am a picky reader" when I was younger and in school. I couldn't even tell you what exactly I envisioned for the type of books I liked when I was picky- I read, but was VERY selective with my reads, haha. I have to laugh at it now, as I look back. In the past couple of years, however, I have really let my reading guards down, and am just reading really anything. Well, not quite anything because I do not like super scary books that I cannot read before bed, haha.  I feel like I have had a personal reading renaissance! I really just want to be reading, and will read whatever I can get my hands on. I have realized that I enjoy many genres from nonfictions like science, history and biographies, to fictions that grab me in and tell a great story that I can picture in my head as I read along. I had the realization that I am no longer a picky reader when I asked my best girlfriends for some b...

  As usual, I am going to start with my broken record "I can't believe its already [insert month here]." But, is it actually November?!?!?? I am excited, and already decorating and planning for the Holiday season? Absolutely!! October was a pretty fun month, and I made sure to fill it with all of the pumpkin things. We even took a fall road trip to the Finger Lakes, and it was incredibly beautiful this time of year. I have a really mixed bag of monthly favorites, so enjoy haha!! I hope this is another great distraction from the week we have had. 1. Pumpkin Candle - This is one of my favorite pumpkin scented candles I have found. I love that it is not too sweet, and not too over bearing or spicy. It is the perfect amount of warm, cozy pumpkin feeling. I think it is a good scent that you could burn through the holiday season because it is a warm scent that reminds of fall through Thanksgiving to Christmas baking! 2. Pumpkin O's (or cheerios)- I do not eat cereal often, ...

  Today, I have one of my extra gift guides launching! I will be launching my extra guides on Wednesdays; I do not think I will have one every week, but we will see! I am so excited to share this small business gift guide with you because I have so much love for these companies, AND 2020 is definitely the year to make sure we shop small to keep our favorite small businesses afloat.

Happy November 1!! Aka- the unofficial, official start the holiday season!! I want to start by saying that no one is really going to have a very "traditional" holiday season this year. So with that in mind, I really want to feel the holiday spirit at all times while we spend so much time at home this season. I have put together my holiday decor mood board! I like putting these together so I can better execute my vision for decor. I wanted to share this one because it really sparks joy.  My vision for this holiday is to have a pretty classic decor theme that also incorporates my love of blue and white, and of course, ginger jars. I took all of these images from Pinterest (although a lot of them are from Kelly in the City and Carly !). I will continue to add to my HOLIDAYS Pinterest Board , so come follow along, and we can inspire each other.  I am really excited to decorate, and have been in the holiday mood since mid-October. I am just ready for tartan bows every where, hot...
