Gifts on So Much to Smile About

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Sat, 31 Jan 2015 23:14:57 +0000

I can’t believe that tomorrow is February 1st! January absolutely flew by. So whether or not you are a fan of Valentine’s Day, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite pink and girly gifts. I’m especially obsessed with the new Benefit + BaubleBar collaboration and Valentine’s Day game! Also, what girl wouldn’t love a Drybar heart shaped gift certificate? So fun!

Gift Guide For Her

Wed, 17 Dec 2014 05:59:13 +0000

Gift guide? Or all of the things I’m obsessing over right now. Ok, maybe a bit of both! But seriously, I love putting together gift guides, and while I don’t really have the time to do more this year, I had to do something! Also, apparently I’m stuck on neutrals. Aren’t those dresses and bags great? And that watch is just perfect. Plus, you can’t go wrong with anything cozy (pajamas and slippers, please!) or gold!

Gift Guide For The Foodie

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Know someone who is most comfortable in the kitchen? Or maybe a budding chef? That’s not me at all, but I did my research and I feel certain the foodie in your life would appreciate these gifts! And if they need someone to cook for, feel free to send them my way! Maybe if I had that apron I’d get in the kitchen more… I also recommend checking out this gift guide from My New Roots for a pantry list, kitchen equipment and cookbooks.

Gift Guide For The Boys

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I may not have a boyfriend to shop for at the moment, but I do have a younger brother (who recommends newegg.com for techie ideas), dad (who loves history books, golf and fishing), guy roomie, work husband, and lots of guy friends (who are always there for me when I want to play COD or need dating advice)! So I was thinking of them when I put together this gift guide. BUT I also love these guides from Curly in the City, Six Twelve Place, Coco’s Tea Party, Breakfast at Toast and Refinery29! So many options!

A Tiffany’s Party

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I’m not sure there’s a girl out there who hasn’t dreamed of getting that iconic blue box to open at some point or another – so what better time than the holidays to check out the latest that Tiffany’s has to offer! The lovely team at their Chevy Chase store invited a handful of bloggers to try on pieces, sip champagne and learn even more about the great American jeweler (did you know the company was started in NYC in the 1830s with just $1,000?). There was so much more to admire than their diamond rings (though taking off that classic Tiffany’s solitaire diamond ring was tough)!

Guest Post: VMac + Cheese

I’m beyond thrilled to have Victoria here today! Her blog is one of my absolute favorites – she has an amazing “Behind the Blogger” series and is always putting together the prettiest posts that are sure to make me smile. So I figured she’d be the perfect person to help me brainstorm a few gift ideas! Now I know just what to ask for!

Hi everyone! Victoria from vmac+cheese here, happy to be taking part in the birthday celebration of one of my favorite bloggers. Liz is such a great source for style inspiration, no?

Be Mine?

Valentine’s Day is less that a week away – even if you don’t have a significant other to celebrate with, it’s a great opportunity to tell our family and friends how much they mean to us. In the words of Sydney Smith, “Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.” To my friends and family, I love you so much! And to everyone, thanks so much for your support! Be sure to check out my roundup of great Valentine’s Day blog posts below!

White Christmas

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000

I can’t believe that I head back to Wisconsin tomorrow already. Wasn’t it just Thanksgiving? Thankfully, I won’t have to worry about a white Christmas since there is already (and always) tons of snow back home. However, I do have my shopping to worry about. If you are like me and put it off until the last minute, check out some of my favorite gift guides below. And if you missed it, see everything I want for Christmas right here.

All I Want For Christmas

All I really want for Christmas is to spend time with family and friends – BUT, if I was to put a dream Christmas list together, this would be it.
