gift guide: for the gentleman

November 21, 2014

Whether it’s your husband, boyfriend, dad or brother, buying gifts for the guys in your life can be a challenge. They usually buy what they need, when they need it. And on top of that, they can’t seem to wait for the big ticket items, ie: new golf clubs can’t wait until Christmas. This year seems a little bit different though. Maybe it’s because our favorite retailers have great gift guides for men: here, here & here. Or maybe it’s because secretly, we really plan on “borrowing” that oversized gingham shirt for ourselves!

giveaway: french connection outerwear

November 20, 2014

Living in Dallas, outerwear is something that we haven’t put a lot of thought into in the past. Yes, it gets cold, but usually for a short time before it warms up again. For the most part, we’ve just worn something we’ve had in our closet for awhile! But this year the cold started with a bang and hasn’t let up, and outerwear is all we can think about. Because our collection of coats was lacking, we decided that it would be smart to start with basic neutrals. Best intentions! When we spotted this gorgeous coat at French Connection, we couldn’t resist. We love everything about this coat — it’s not a neutral per se, but it goes with so many of our outfits that it turns out it is the perfect mix of pop & practical!

Guess what? Today, we are partnering with French Connection to offer one of our readers their choice of a coat or jacket from their beautiful collection (value up to $400). The selection of great styles is going to make it hard to choose just one! We think this belted coat with a faux fur collar would be a great choice! Also, we love this two-tone coat in ivory & gray, and how can you go wrong with a pop of pink or leopard trim? See the bottom of this post for instructions to enter. Giveaway ends Monday, November 24th at 12:01 a.m. We will email the lucky winner Monday afternoon. Good luck!

Styling Tip: When it’s so cold that you have to stay zipped up, add a statement necklace in the same color family as your coat for some unexpected glam.
