A New Friend

 What is better than a good price? I can't think of many things. I spontaneously decided to go to a store here in this small town and found this necklace. After all of the savings added up, I got it for less than 4.50. I don't expect it to last a lifetime but I expect it to last long enough for me to enjoy it at least a year. That is good enough by me.
So no more boring V-neck & jeans days. This necklace will soon become my V-neck's best friend.

5 Christmas Gifts For Your Boyfriend

5 Christmas Gifts For Your Boyfriend
Christmas has always been an awkwardly pleasurable holiday, and my favorite at that. Pleasurable in the sense that nothing compares to friends and family gathering around with food and gifts for a good full week. Awkward makes its way into the equation when I sit for days thinking of all the gifts I could possibly get my loved ones that I know they truly won't care for. When it comes to aunts, uncles, and cousins, scarves and chocolates do enough to get me by that year. Boyfriends are a different story.
Perhaps I am more complicated than I sometimes like to admit, however I know that I can give my boyfriend a great amount of obstacles, as I like to call them, on a daily basis. I know many women can agree. That said, boyfriends deserve a Christmas present that truly show the fruits of their labor. This Christmas holiday, try something different. Try to find something that appeals to their lifestyle, not just their refined interests like in years past.

1.  Message in Lights
Christmas lights come at such a low cost, this gift idea is highly dependent on your time and creative spirit. Create a message on a flat surface, such as a wall, especially for him. Something with an "I love you" or lyrics to your special song. Need I mention to cook him his favorite meal? Society tells us that men hardly have a romantic bone in their bodies, but that is far from the truth. Try the message in lights this year on your living room wall and celebrate a special holiday evening alone.
2. Game Tickets
Since the NBA is having a few difficulties this season due to the lockout, basketball is out of the question. But who says there aren't plenty of other sports worth enjoying? Baseball, Football, Hockey, Soccer are all ideas for starters. Often times, it's not always about it being your boyfriends favorite team or sport, it can be the experience that men love. Wild yelling, food, and beer is a perfect trifecta for a man. Buy two tickets to a game in your area, bring your fellow, buy some treats to enjoy during the game, and watch him light up.
3. Electronic Tablet
Men can keep busy lives just like any American woman. Tablets make managing life so easy by offering your personal files, web browsers, games, and planners all on one screen. More importantly, it offers all of this on the go with more aesthetic appeal than a smart phone can offer. A lot of tablet choices have risen to the scene since the release of the initial iPad. If the iPad is out of your price range, you still have options. HP Touchpad, Motorola Xoom, and Samsung Galaxy are just a few of the alternatives available on the market for you. Search around to see what's in your price range.
4. Sound System
I am aware that many couples are embracing cohabitation before marriage so this one may be a gift that the both of you can share. Consider investing in a home sound system. They vary in ranges and sound and can either be used for a home computer station or your home cinema on late movie nights. Bose, one of my favorites, has such clarity in their sound production, you will never be able to listen to music or watch movies with the same appreciation without them. If you want to go an extra mile, plan to watch an action film with him to break the speakers in or buy him a new CD from an artist that he enjoys.
5. A Tailored Suit
The face of the youthful businessman has changed so much in the last ten to twenty years. Entrepreneurs are surfacing at younger ages and making more than the godfathers of of the industry ever thought possible. I believe every man should own a tailored suit. Not simply for work but also for events around the city. This can be a little pricey, but a suit can last a lifetime. It's worth the investment. Men work a bit similar to women in this aspect; when they feel handsome and attractive, confidence is there to show for it.

Puerto Rican Fiesta

The first year that I went to visit my boyfriend at his home in Puerto Rico [2008], I went crazy with shopping. I did not want to buy the clothes that I could find anywhere, I bought the most colorful interesting pieces that I laid my eyes on. This red top was definitely my favorite of everything I bought but it is the one piece that I have never worn. I feel someone like a moving fiesta or even Selena when I have it on. I have no idea what to wear it with nor the proper way to pull it out. With summer weather (for Texas) drawing towards the end, I feel like this may just be my last few weeks to play with it.

Virtual Gifting

I love shopping online. I am not talking solidified website shopping, I mean blogger-next-door closet shopping. This came from an online friend's boutique. Also with a cute little "chestnut" colored bracelet. Surprisingly, it fits me with complete ease. She knew the perfect size to ship my way.
If I don't say it enough, if any of you have only shops that you want me to look at, I am always able to. Email me the link to see your gallery.
How do you feel about online shopping?

All Things Applied

Just an idea of what the previous post looks like in working pleasure. Surprisingly, it is my most comfortable outfit all week.

Future GiveAway

I have been thinking about doing a giveaway. My blog is fairly new and it is a good chance to really solidify things. However the main issue I am having is WHAT DO I WANT TO GIVE AWAY? Shouldn't I let you all decide. So I have narrowed it down.

What do you want to see in a giveaway? 

Make-up

Clothes

Jewelry

I want as much input as I can get. I want to be sure that there are enough people to enter the giveaway to actually make it fun for everyone. No use in doing it if only five people enter, right? Let me know your thoughts and what has and/or has not worked for you.

Chestnut Chill

I love this color and what I presume to be Chestnut. I have been trying to peel away from jeans this winter and needed more options for when I am rushing out the door. These slacks are high waisted, cuffed and pleated. The shoes speak for themselves. Classy? Probably not. Comfortable enough for long walks across campus? Most certainly. And while I am in college, that is nearly all that matters. 

Faux Winter

I am so anxious for winter to come to Texas. It takes a little longer than other places around the world.  I see all the snowy pictures from fellow bloggers and a little part of me gets jealous. I suppose I can drop my AC as low as possible, light candles, grab a drink, and pretend that there is a winter wonderland outside of my winter.
While shopping I stumbled across this beautiful throw for an amazing price and couldn't help myself. Needless to say, 80 degree weather or not, I am enjoying.
