SPLURGE VS. STEAL

ASOS Oasis Faux Shearling Drape Coat / Rebecca Minkoff Brody Shearling Coat

Another splurge vs. steal post... I just keep finding identical items I can't help but post about! And c'mon, you guys have to admit that these coats are literally identical. I am 2 seconds away from purchasing the ASOS version because I've wanted the other one forEVER but will not spend $2,300 on it. And the ASOS pick is especially good if you aren't a fan of purchasing real fur.  They're both so gorgeous... Which would you pick?

Happy Shopping!

Today is a sad day, because it'll be the last time I'll have bare legs until next Spring I'm sure... except for this weekend! We are going to Miami for the weekend for a little rest, relaxation, sun, and a Dolphins game, and I could not be more excited to get away. I will be sure to post some fun updates on my Instagram (when I'm not too busy sun bathing). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and stay warm!

I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I know everyone is making gift guides this holiday season, but it's just so much fun to do, and I have a couple special guys in my life I need to shop for, so why not make a men's version? Men are especially hard to shop for in my opinion. For my mom, I buy her exactly what I would want for myself (we're pretty much twins in the fashion category), so that part is easy. There are so many great online stores to find men's items now, the newest being Shopbop's new company, East Dane. The men in my life are a little more outdoorsy though, so I tailored this gift guide towards that type because that is what I've been in search for. I hope you find a little inspiration here for any man in your life you're looking to buy gifts for.
