Need some ideas for a girl friend or family member who is hard to shop for? I think most ladies would love any of the above and at all price points you can narrow it down to the perfect option depending on your budget. I can't believe that Christmas is less than a month away! Two more gift guides this week and a recap of the amazing tailgate baby shower our friend's threw us this past weekend. Check my Instagram, nsguidetostyle, for a sneak peek! XOXO

Often times I find it the hardest to shop for my husband and dad. They never seem to want anything! Whether it be your significant other, dad, brother, father-in-law or uncle, I think any of these would put a smile on their face this holiday season. Reminder that it's Cyber Monday so take advantage of the discounts to get your holiday shopping done! XOXO

Missoni Home Throw Blanket $435. Diptyque Candle Trio $84. Nespresso Pixie Bundle $280. Vinturi Red Wine Aerator $40. Kate Spade Card Holder $20. Anthropologie Celestial Coasters $32. KitchenAid Artisan Mixer $350. Python Pillow $650. Ugg Slippers $100.

This Gift Guide was one of my favorites to make so far. I've definitely been in nesting mode the past few weeks and have been getting our home ready to welcome our little one. These gifts would be perfect for the homemaker or homebody and they would also make wonderful hostess gifts {particularly the coasters, wine aerator and the Diptyque candles}. Hope the Black Friday + Cyber Monday codes in yesterday's post were helpful, check them out here if you missed them! XOXO

Beauty: Current Favorites From Sephora

Some current favorites from Sephora: 

Josie Maran SPF 40 Moisturizer, Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover + Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara Collection.  

This Lancome set is such a good deal! You get a full size of their Hypnose Star Mascara and Artliner Liquid Eyeliner {my favorite + super easy to apply} along with their eye makeup remover and lash booster for basically the price of just the mascara. I think I've raved enough about Josie Maran products but if you are new to the line and want to try it this Bestseller Set would be a great place to start. I was also eyeing this lip plumping Buxom Time To Shine Lipgloss Set that I have been hearing great things about {apparently the White Russian color is the perfect nude}. If you use the Sephora VIB code CELEBRATE you get 20% off your order too! The sale ends on November 12th and is in stores as well. Start your shopping here.

Hurricane Sandy

As we head into the weekend I thought it'd be good to keep this short and sweet. I lived in NYC on two separate occasions and am heading there next weekend for a wedding so I have a major sweet spot for the Big Apple and the East Coast. If you would like to donate to the relief effort for Hurricane Sandy please visit the American Red Cross' website here. Hope all of you and your loved ones were kept safe during the storms! XOXO
