Because it’s no fun to shop alone…


I love this :).

Okay, friends…no one wants to shop alone, right?!  Instead of announcing the winner of my first $250 Nordstrom gift card today…I’m extending the contest one more day and now upping the win to one person winning two $250 Nordstrom gift cards…one for you and one for your bestie!
YES!
I decided to kick off my November giveaways with you and your bestie shopping together.  Because I don’t know about you…but it’s way more fun for me to shop with my friends :).

I’ve added two new ways to enter to win!  If you entered on Friday, those entries are still there…I’ve just added an additional two options. Make sure you see the Rafflecopter below!

On Friday, I showed you these gift ideas for Christmas (or let’s be real…for you too)…
 I am dying over these Christmas sweaters!  I cannot wait for mine to arrive!!  I am going to wear the heck out of my ugly Christmas sweater :).
To see all of them, click here.

I also showed you some of my favorite performance coats on Friday…

Venture Jacket//Osito Jacket//Loralei Down Jacket//Marlena Jacket
 Last year, I gave my mom a North Face jacket for Christmas (after buying one for myself and realizing it was like the best thing ever!).  These coats are magical…they’re light and yet warm at the same time.  How do they do that?!?!

Annnnd…one more peek at some of my favorite scarves.  ‘Tis the season to buy gifts that don’t require you asking sizes ;).

The gift of scarves is one of my favorite because you don’t have to guess on sizes (because that’s just no fun!).

On Saturday morning, look what I found,  I totally bought the hot pink one…

…I mean…how flippin’ cute are these scarves?!?!  They’re back-ordered one week, so you and I both know that means they’ll be sold out soon.  Wouldn’t these be such cute Christmas gifts?!?!  (Go ahead and get one for you too!  You know you’ll kick yourself later if you don’t!).

So…I showed you guys some cute performance coats on Friday…but what about other coats?  I bought two coats and unfortunately both of them are too heavy for my needs here in North Texas (boo!), but if you live somewhere with really cold winters, you should check out both of them.  For the first one, I have one word for you…meow.

I mean…I love this coat.  I really, really, really wanted to keep this one but it’s heavy, and because our winters are typically not that cold, I don’t think I can justify another heavy coat…but if you live somewhere that has cold winters, you better grab ya one of these!  How fun does it make my basic black jeans?!  So cute, so thick and warm.  It’s like being wrapped in a cat…you know, in the best way possible :).  (And pssst…you can see my booties here.)
Faux cat fur not your thing?  Here are some other purr-fect coats for your winter…
Plaid Coat//Navy Puffer (also in black)//Faux Down & Leather Puffer
And the other coat that caught my eye is this one…
…I mean, a warm military style jacket with a furry hood?!?!  Of course that one caught my eye!  This jacket is both really warm and soft at the same time.  Right now, it comes in 4 different colors and is 33% off!
(And psssst…in case you’re interested, my new pink lipstick is Bikini Pink.  I really love it!)
And one last coat for those of you who need one with some warmth…
…I mean…I love.  And, right now this coat is 33% off making it under $150.  Woohoo!
To top off that coat, a warm hat…

Grey Cable Knit//Christmas Beanie//Blue Chunky Knit Beanie//Coral Chunky Knit Beanie


How cute are those?!
#bringonthecoldweather

This has nothing to do with anything, but if you’re looking for a great gift idea that’s also on sale right now…

…these Kendra Scott studs are 33% off right now and would make great Christmas gifts!  They come in three different colors.

So, you have one more day to enter to win AND I added two new ways to enter…one is that you tag your bestie on my Instagram…because if you both enter to win, your chances increase, right?!?!  And you need to tag your bestie on my Facebook too!  One of you is going to win the $250 Nordstrom gift card for yourself and one for a friend…so you better hurry up and enter!

Don’t forget that it’s Monday…

…Meal Planning Monday is on my foodie blog.  This week, I took one big batch of chicken and used it three different ways.  Talk about a simple week!  Make one big batch on Monday and then you have easy suppers for two other nights.  There are five supper recipes this week, one dessert and a breakfast too.  See it all here.

  435. Michelle S says

    I love giving anything cashmere. It's usually outside my budget, but for really special people I like to splurge because it is such a luxury and always elicits big smiles!

  439. Kim Allan says

    I agree with north face jackets as gifts, they never fail! Especially with the scarf combo

  441. Lisa Thompson says

    I've never thought about giving away cold weather gear as a gift (shame shame, I know!), but if I were to start, I think it'd be a scarf!

    Can I ask an off topic question? 🙂 Is there a certain reason your dad deleted his Facebook?

    Love you and your blog, Shay! I talk about you to my friends and family like we know each other. I'm a daily reader. Thanks for being so real, and for coming up with such good recipes for those of us that aren't gifted in the kitchen like you ;). My favorite cold weather gear to give is definitely scarves! I usually buy all the ladies in my life new scarves every year. I love your idea of doing an annual scarf exchange and would love to try that with my girls as well!

  632. Kaitlin Young says

    Scarves are definitely the easiest cold weather gear to give for Christmas. But there are a few people in my family who love jackets so maybe I need to shop based on your suggestions 🙂

  634. Amanda Peppers says

    Heavy coats are cute, but I always find I wear one the whole season! Maybe I should invest in a North Face and get rid of most my others because they're just taking up space.

    Thanks for being such a positive and funny person!! Happy holidays ?

  656. Kara says

    They say we are going to have a colder and wetter winter here in North Texas this year, so maybe you can justify that super cute animal print coat after all.

  682. Alyssa Aden says

    I love giving warm socks as holiday gifts! There are always cute ones, and people often forget how great it feels to get new pairs.
