Happy Monday! Christmas is definitely in the air! We spent the weekend getting our Christmas Trees and doing a little decorating. We all definitely got a kick out of our old ornaments- so many memories! I just can't get enough of the Holidays. It's my favorite time of year by far, especially now that we have our little one- everything we do is a first and he just stares at everything with wide eyes! So magical.

I have compiled a great jet setter gift guide above. We all have that friend or relative that is always on the go. Traveling from one place to the next, almost non-stop. These items are perfect for that individual who has been bitten by the travel bug! I hope you all have an amazing Monday and I also hope you've been watching your favorite Christmas movies- they always put a smile on my face just like I'm sure they do for you! xo, Alida

It's that time of year again. Time for celebrating and lots of gifts giving- yay! I personally love shopping for gifts because I get so excited just wanting to see the recipient open it. When gift giving to friends I usually go with the idea "shop for what you would want yourself" and it usually works! I have compiled my favorite gifts for the home above. Perfect for that girl that is obsessed with decorating and designing her dwelling and also the woman that loves to entertain and show off her abode! Hope you're having lots of fun gift shopping! The Christmas countdown has officially begun! xo, Alida

Valentine's Day Gifts For Her

Silk-Lace Playsuit | I Love You Leather Pouch | Lace Balconette Bra | Lace Briefs | Bandana Print Scarf | I Love You Diamond Ring | Mini Heart Gold Ring | Solid Heart Necklace | Ligne Y Petite Leather Tote | Printed Leather Card Holder | Love Me Leather and Suede Pumps | Neon Cosmetic Case | Love Cashmere Sweater

Valentine's Day is the celebration of love, passion, and romance. Some people say it's a Hallmark holiday, just another way for card companies to make some money; but I personally am a huge fan of Valentine's Day. I know every day should be a celebration of love, but what's one more? I say pile on the romance, tell your significant other that you love them and how you can't live without them, and celebrate your love. Life gets in the way sometimes, appointments and work become our world, so on Valentines day just forget all that chaos and wrap your arms around your lover, and never let them go. 

It's always so difficult for men to find that perfect gift for their gals on Valentine's Day, so I chose some of my favorites to share with you. Just keep hinting your top choices to your men. What are your Valentine's Day plans?
