I have a confession to make. I have a thing for sequins. I’m not even too sure why, but it is not as bad as it was in college. That time might have been comparable to looking like I was going to Vegas for the weekend (even mid-week). I do have an unexplainable attraction to sparkly things. Kind of like a crow I guess. When I heavily purged my closet to try to get in to the capsule mindset, I got rid of a lot of it. I think I am now down to 2-3 pieces which are more appropriate for holiday party wear than everyday wear. Back in college I would have rolled out of bed and wore a sequin blazer to class, years later I have mellowed somewhat (although the urge is still there). Now that we have moved in to the holiday season at full force I thought it might be a good idea to put together some budget friendly holiday looks.

Travel Inspired Gift Ideas
Do you ever find that you tend to buy themed gifts for people? Like, for every holiday that you buy them a gift it always is in the same theme as everything else you buy them?
With my oldest, her gifts for the last couple of years seem to have a focus on Harry Potter, and Doctor Who.
For many, many years I bought Tom KISS inspired gifts because he was a collector.
For me, I tend to say travel-inspired items when asked what I have on my list, like books, maps, pictures etc.
In this post, I am going to show you a list of items that would be loved by any (well, almost any) traveller in various price points.

My Frye Boots Deal
For many years now I have wanted to buy a pair of Frye boots. To me they are the epitome of what a good boot is and I wanted them…badly. Every time I shopped online I would check around to see if I could find them for a more affordable price (to many they are affordable, to me they are considered a large purchase of which I could never justify). I have drooled while window shopping, I have tried them on to torture myself, I have placed them in my online shopping basket a million times but I have never gone through with the purchase. Until Sunday. Continue Reading
