Happy New Year!

December went by in a flash and life has been just a little bit crazy… I feel like I have so much to share that has happened over the last month, but I will be doing a life update sometime soon (maybe as my 23rd birthday post).

But I am back and I am so excited to share some amazing news with y’all! I know many of y’all were curious what was next for us since we had to cancel our Disney wedding. If you didn’t get that update, check out this post. It still makes me a little sad when I reflect on the change, but I know in the end we will be much happier and things are already going much smoother.

Many of you guessed it already, but our new wedding location is…

It is no secret that everyone has had a rough year, and student in particular have been through a number of tough changes. Christmas definitely seems like the light at the end of the tunnel for 2020. Today I am going to be sharing some of my favorite gifts for students – of the late high school or college age.

If none of these gifts resonate, cash is always a good option 😉

DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM MEANT TO BASH THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, DISNEY FAIRYTALE WEDDINGS, OR DISCOUNT THE SERIOUSNESS OF COVID-19. THIS IS PURELY AN OUTLET FOR ME TO SHARE WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND SHARE MY STORY.

Today’s blog post has definitely not been easy to write. And the topic I am covering is definitely still fresh and new, so please bear with me. If you follow me on Instagram you may have already heard, and if you are a close friend or family member and just finding out via this blog post, I am sorry.

There is no question 2020 has been chaotic, and the last few months have brought numerous challenges for me in my personal life. But last week we reached the cherry on top of the cake that is 2020 – we made the decision to cancel our Disney wedding.

ICYMI, Lilly Pulitzer is celebrating Lilly’s birthday this week with some awesome gifts with purchase! With the holidays right around the corner, this is the perfect time to stock up on goodies for others or yourself 😉

Today I’m gonna share my current favorites that are online, as well as what GWPs you can snag!

I am convinced not knowing what to get the men in your life is a universal experience. Each year this is my top requested holiday gift guide. So, I recruited my fiancé, Grant, to give me some insight on what men really want for the holidays.

Besides the recommendations below, the insight I got from Grant was that men would appreciate a few things. 1) Something they need but won’t buy themselves – think luggage, clothing, underwear (sad but true). 2) Something that serves a specific use, even if women think it’s silly (think the prepackaged gifts you can find in the men’s section during the holidays). But if that isn’t enough for you – no worries! I’ve got you covered.
