 i wanted to clue you in to some amazing Black Friday sales in case you are already making your lists ... or if you need to pass the info along to Santa...

use code holiday_modaandthemar for 15% ALL products @ Daniel Wellington (and as always, free worldwide shipping!)  Watches will always be a perfect present for the Holidays.  it is a piece that will last forever, especially when it's a Daniel Wellington watch!  I wear my Classic Lady Sheffield almost every day!  I love how feminine and chic it is.  (and remember, men love watches too!) 

this Barrington Gifts sale is HUGE !!  these amazing bags & accessories are never discounted, so if you have been holding out on purchasing, now is the time!  Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, the entire site will be 10% off with code CYBER10.  here are some of my personal favorites:

Belmont Cabin Bag in Black Watch | St. Anne Tote in Axis print | Leather Laptop Case

another one of my favorite online shopping spots is having TWO great Black Friday deals!  you can shop amazing accessories & shoes (most of which are already at an incredible price point) from Prima Donna on Black Friday using code BF20 for 25% OFF the entire site & on Cyber Monday using code CYBER30 for 30% OFF the entire site.  on monday, if you spend $50+, you receive a $10 site credit AND you receive a free gift with any purchase both days!

woven tote | tassel necklace | criss-cross pumps | grey wide-brim hat | gold ring duo

this last Black Friday tip isn't so much a deal for you as it is for others.  giving a Lilah V piece is the gift of encouragement and strength.  you can choose a necklace or bracelet from a variety of positive mantras to give a reminder or wish to someone special.  BUT, with this purchase comes another amazing gift.  Lilah V donates 20% of all proceeds to the Humane Society.  now that's gifting and giving back!

Label It Amazing

welcome to the weekend, loves!

today i wanted remember what is truly important this time of year....helping others. 

H&M is doing their part this season by partnering with CARE for the Conscious Foundation, a program which invests in women's economic empowerment by giving them the tools, skills & training to start or expand their own businesses.  these businesses ensure the future of these women and their families.  they help them recognize their potential and exercise their rights. 

 they change their lives.  

how can you help H&M and CARE?  H&M has made it super easy to contribute with these darling giftwrap labels available in stores across the world.  with every purchase of these labels, the H&M Conscious Foundation will donate double the sales price to the CARE foundation.  now that's giving.

these fashionable labels make the perfect present topper!  and what better present to top than a hand-picked gift from H&M.  i have gathered some of my favorite gift ideas for everyone on your list...  even the babes...  

so make sure to snag a few packs of the H&M CARE labels this year and label your gifts with love.

Shopbop Gift Guide

happy sunday, guys!

while i am snuggled in on the couch watching last night's episode of SNL (because most weekends i fall asleep before it airs.. sad but true) i am giving some serious thought to holiday shopping for everyone on my list.  Shopbop has the best collection of unique holiday gifts for the special people in your life.  honestly, i am kicking myself for not knowing about these ideas last year.  they are going to make shopping a breeze...a breeze from the comfort of my own couch. 

Gifts for the Home

the older i get, the more i realize that people (myself included) generally love odds and ends for the house.  it's something that reminds them of you and your friendship either throughout the year or at the holiday season when they pull it out to display.  Shopbop has something for every friend from the wine lover to the fashionista.  don't know what to get someone?  a coffee table book can be a wonderful idea!  you can custom it to their interests and it is both fun to read and beautiful to display. 

  

Gifts for Her

i never understand why the guys in our life say "women are so hard to shop for."  so not true.  we love everything.  everything.  and don't worry guys - if you haven't been paying attention this year to the little things she has mentioned & showed you 500 times, or to the trendy items that she is secretly coveting, Shopbop has you covered.  there is an excellent range of girly goodies to fit every budget and every "relationship stage."  and don't underestimate a generic gift like pajamas.  it's something cute and practical that we generally don't like spending the money on ourselves.  (and it doesn't hurt to think of you when we put them on to go to bed at night... just saying.) 

Gifts for Him

so the real story - GUYS are the hard ones to buy for.  most of them don't want much, and what they do want/like, they just buy for themselves.  and as much as we love seeing them in the ties, shirts, scarves, hats we pick out, the thrill for them ends there.  East Dane (the brother site to Shopbop) has some absolutely amazing gift ideas for your man no matter what he is into these days.  There are affordable gifts for the fitness guru, the travel guy, the wallstreet man, the photographer and the "i think i'm a dj mix-master."  i even love the idea of something simple, like a stylish notebook to give him a space to record all of his hopes, dreams and brilliant thoughts.... or, just a page to jot down the grocery list....

i hope this has given you a little holiday inspiration!  

i am teaming up with Conair for a fun hair post tomorrow!  make sure to check back!
