– a pretty new bag (Lula-approved) –

– falling in love with some new lip colors from Stila, would be such great stocking stuffers! –

– watching this goof think she is 1/8 of her actual size –

– a new hairdryer that is helping me not dread blowdrying my mane, this would be such an awesome Christmas gift –

– helping Christian design a custom pair of denim with Blue Delta, I think this would be such an awesome Christmas gift! –

Happy Friday!  I can’t believe next weekend is Christmas. WHAT!? It always seems to sneak up every year! I am so excited for this year’s holiday weekend because we’ll be spending it with my brother’s family in a cabin in the mountains.  It means I get to watch a two-year old open gifts and run around – free entertainment! It’s our family’s first Christmas without my niece, Edie, and just typing that brings tears to my eyes.  We miss her every day, but knowing that she is spending Christmas with Jesus Himself makes my heart really, really happy.

In other news, I’ve been wanting to share that earlier this year Christian worked with Blue Delta to create his own pair of custom raw denim jeans.  Raw denim is actually not to be washed in the washing machine, and the best way to break them in is to wear them… a lot! A new concept for us, but C always enjoys a challenge, ha! The company is headquartered in Oxford, MS where we went to college, which we both loved. We were mailed denim and stitching samples, and after a few mailings and emails back and forth, Christian received his own carefully crafted pair.  They have locations all over the US, so if you’re in one of those locations you can book an in-person appointment! I think this would be such a cool gift for the guys in your life – we all know shopping for guys can be so hard.

Other items I think would be great gifts are linked above, and remember that if you’re buying holiday gifts online, this Sunday is the last day to get standard shipping… so try to get your shopping done this weekend if you can! I have my holiday shopping guides linked at the top of my blog under “holiday shopping,” and check back tomorrow because I’m sharing last minute gift and stocking ideas for the guys!

Thanks so much for reading and have a great weekend – XO –
