gift guide under $100

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNER / 2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + BEAUTY COUNTER DAY CREAM / 3. GRANDE LASH SERUM / 4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER / 5. 'GOOD THINGS' POUCH / 6. BAG CHARM / 7. LEATHER JACKET / 8. SCARF / 9. NIKE SNEAKERS / 10. INITIAL CHARM

Let's be real, it is always a good time for a gift, but now that it is officially gift-giving season, I am putting together a few giftish guides for you to peruse. I am also poor, so here is a cheapie version to kick things off.

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNING FOAM: Ok guys, if you follow me on Snapchat (@harrisonsapp4), you saw this baby arrive. As you know, I am dead serious about self-tanning. I have tried it all, every cream, every towel, every paste (??)...I love this foam. It is light, it dries almost instantly and it gives the kind of deep color I crave year-round. PLUS, at $24, it is the perfect addition to your stocking.

2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + DAY CREAM: If you haven't started hearing about BC yet, you definitely will be soon. The buzz behind this 'safer choice' in beauty is pretty strong and the best part is that their products are living up to the hype.

3. GRANDE LASH SERUM: A friend got me hooked on this lash serum that is far more affordable than some of the others out there. I have noticed a considerable difference in the length and fullness of my lashes, and I haven't even finished my first tube. 

4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER: This doesn't really need an explanation, but I feel like this is such a great gift that is often overlooked. I have a little gold croc version that I love, but am planning to stock up on a few more so that I have one in every bag. As a blogger looking to grow my baby brand, it's SO important to carry my cards on me at all times!

**SIDE NOTE/EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!** 

I have partnered with my beautiful friend Callie Riggs (@callieriggs) to start curating a collection of the coolest, newest and most unique companies and products for women. Our website is #comingsoon, but for now you can follow us on Instagram @likeloveneedit! Can't wait to get this baby up and running!

P.P.S. How annoying am I today?! Make sure you check back December 5th for my MAYJ giveaway!

WEEK IN REVIEW + A BAG SALE.

Bringing you all the goods on this Good Friday! Let's review.

1. I bought this jacket from H&M this week. I always panic and buy one last jacket before hot weather hits. This one caught my eye, too. Ponder, ponder.

2. I am selling this Kate Spade bag to make way for new goodies! Less than a year old, $95 shipped. Email me if interested: giltyaschargedgirl@gmail.com - SOLD! Stay tuned for more sales to come!
3. The Easter Bunny comes this weekend and I will be dreaming of this ring, but rocking this version instead.

4. Starting this month, Wigwam Fest is coming to ATL. It's basically the Coachella of fitness/wellness. More here.

5. My custom tote bag from Veeshee just came in! I'll be sharing it with you guys on Instagram soon. 

6. Loving the idea of a full-skirt for Easter brunch. Florals and laser cut fabircs are still some of my faves for Spring.
Hope you bunnies have a perfect Easter weekend!

So maybe the green wasn't so pastel, but still..you need grass at the bottom of any good Easter basket, no? Before clicking, could you have guessed which FOUR were from Target?

LINE TO LOVE: ALIXANDRA COLLECTIONS.

Emergency WINE-1-1. Are you guys surviving this arctic blast? I am hating it very much, but it does give me a chance to stay bundled in my favorite scarves. If you haven't shopped their site before, Alixandra Collections has the ever popular blanket scarf in every color. I just discovered this site and it has quickly become my go-to for accesories, including jewelry. We did this "breakfast at Nordstrom" style shoot BEFORE work yesterday morning. To say I could not feel my fingers would be a very large understatement. Don't say I never did anything for you.

HOLIDAY CHEER(S).

Merry Christmas Eve, Gilties! Hope you are all snuggled up with family & lovahs. I haven't left my pajamas yet and don't plan on it until tonight's festivities. Speaking of festivities, I have teamed up with one of my very favorites, La Marca prosecco, to bring you this mini holiday tablescape. No space is too small to decorate this time of year. Even my tiny one bedroom apartment can be transformed with a little holiday zhush and a lot of bubbly in your glass. Jingle this, babies. #Lamarcable

CHAMPAGNE PRINT / PILLOWS(Target, similar) / PYTHON TRAY

After this shoot, I actually scotch-guarded those pillows and used them on my patio. They are the cutest and I am so mad at Target for not having them on their website! My little feather tree is another Target find and I have a wreath that matches. I bought those for my first Christmas in ATL and this is my 3rd! Love when that happens. I love to decorate with neutrals like white and then throw in glassware I already have and leftover corks to tie it all together…plus it's free!

For an easy, delicious and festive drink to make your Christmas Eve #Lamarcable, try a Poinsettia: add cranberry juice to your La Marca prosecco and squeeze lemon juice on top. SO easy and so good. Merry Merry!

PLAIDS + PLAITS.

Comin' atcha from SC tonight, frands. I am all about lumberjack chic-ness right now. It's time to #tbt, channel your inner Pippi Longstocking, and embrace the braid. This is by far the easiest look to throw together and the best part is, it's probably already in your closet…or your Dad's closet? It's fine. Wear it. I'm home for the weekend and there are 4 cats here tonight. FOUR. That is too many. To be fair, one is mine and I brought it, two are my mom's and one belongs to my cousin. Still, too many.

Are those boots not to die? Confession. I ordered them immediately after seeing Emily Maynard wear them on her season of The Bachelorette. Jef with one f's puppet date. True story, no strings attached.

GLAMOUFLAGE.

The weekend is so close I can taste it, AND on top of that, I am off! <squeals> That being said, I have zero plans and really just want to lie around with Coco and maybe get a little pool action in if the weather behaves.

Last night, I went to support my girl My Style Vita at her Gap event where I got to ooh and aah over their new arrivals while shoveling chia seed pudding from True Food Kitchen into my face. Bliss. Here is what I wore:
Blouse (similar) / Jeans / Zara Pumps (similar) / Bag / Necklace

 Unapologetically loving camo right now and I'll never give up on distressed denim. #SorryMom
Off to shoot some more looks tonight with my lovely Moet on Stella!

CROSS-BODY CRISIS.

The search for the perfect cross-body bag plagued most of my June…and my May. And parts of my April, but who's counting? Basically, I had my heart set on the neon yellow Michael Kors Selma, but it was sold out everywhere due to people like Miranda Kerr (and that family behind her) trying to ruin my entire life.

Image from Google
There were several things I knew I wanted in my new baggie. I wanted a structured bag for ease of grabbing my iPhone. I wanted a medium size so that it would hold everything I needed without weighing me down, and I wanted it to be neon. Listen, I know what I want.

After a lot of searching and almost risking giving my CC info to a sketchy website out of pure MK desperation, I came across the Kate Spade Alessa. It's all about willing it into existence, people.

Image from Google
I found mine on eBay, which was even better because I saved over $150.00 off of the original price tag.

Perfect cross-body strap, also detachable.
The bigger the purse, the smaller the ass. #neverforget

Ugh, I love her so much. Here are a few others I wouldn't have hated to add to my cart:
