150 Gifts Under $100: the Ultimate Gift Guide for Black Friday

November 24, 2017

Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!  This year was the first time in six years that I wasn’t working retail and trying to sneak in a nap between dinner and my {first} Black Friday shift, something I’m REALLY thankful for.  While I don’t run a ton of gift guides on What Nicole Wore, I did want to share a pretty thorough one today.  A lot of the time gift giving can get pricey and stressful; I knew I wanted to create the ultimate gift guide for my readers that had gift ideas for everyone on your list.  Most importantly, I wanted to suggest gifts that will be loved but won’t break the bank.

Gifts that will be loved but won't break the bank at under $100 #giftguide #holidayshopping Click To Tweet

And so — today I’m sharing 150 gifts all under $100!  In fact, 89% of the items I chose are gifts under $50 because stressing over money during the holidays is zero fun.

Just in time for Black Friday, the ultimate gift guide is here with 150 gift ideas under $100. Find an affordable present for everyone on your list! // stocking stuffers for her, stocking stuffers for teen girls, stocking stuffers for women, gifts under $25, affordable gift ideas, christmas 2017

Gift Guide: Dear Santa

December 1, 2016

Turn off your ad blocker to view content

from top left: bow dress {UNDER $20} // eyeshadow palette {UNDER $50, new arrival}  // tassel earring set {UNDER $75} // cravings cookbook // emerald cuff // ‘oh deer’ welcome mat {UNDER $30} // ‘all the jingle ladies’ sweater {ON SALE} // gold glitter loafers {UNDER $75} // striped tee {ON SALE} // foldover clutch {comes in more colors} // weekender bag // polar bear purse {ships free}

Every couple days this month, I’m changing up the ‘Holiday Shop’ widget that sits in the top right of my sidebar, but I wanted to highlight some of the fun items that are in it right now because they’re great for gifting.

The red bow back dress features a low back with a classic fit and flare silhouette that I love.  This dress ships for free and is just perfect for all of your holiday parties.  Pair it with gold jewelry, nude pumps and a red lip for the traditional holiday look.

This Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palette was just released this fall and has gotten great reviews.  I love the family of colors in this palette, plus I prefer my eyeshadows in sets like this because it makes knowing what colors to blend so much easier.  {I have this palette, that so many people call the OG, and have absolutely loved it.}

It seems like every year I manage to forget someone on my list, so I always try to buy a few gift sets that I don’t even have to wrap, like this trio of tassel earrings.  {I picked up one of these nail polish sets over the weekend as another ‘just in case’ gift!}

I love Chrissy Teigen {anyone else live for her Instagram’s of Luna in different Halloween costumes?!} and her cookbook, Cravings, has been on my wish list for awhile now.  I’m hoping to have a little more free time after the holidays so that cooking can be a thing that I actually do regularly.

Y’all know I have plenty of striped tees but this one is in a festive red and white and has a cute fringe detail along the hem.  Plus it’s on sale right now and how can any of us resist that?

Finally, this mini polar bear purse is too stinkin’ cute.  J. Crew always knocks it out of the park with their fun, novelty items but I can’t get over how darling this bag is for the little lady in your life.

Black Friday: J. Crew Factory

November 24, 2016

Turn off your ad blocker to view content

Happy, happy Thanksgiving! In between stuffing my face today, I like to stop and snag some of the early Black Friday deals.  I hate the idea of going out to shop in the crowds {#retaillife} which means I have to get ahead of things so that there’s time for everything to ship to me and then ship out to my loved ones. Phew.  Luckily, the early shopping usually means that I get some great deals too.

J. Crew Factory is one of my favorite places to shop for myself and for others this time of year.  They always roll out some great options for all the holiday dressing you may need to do whether it be casually working shades of red, green, blue and gold into your work wardrobe or a new dress for a cocktail party.  This is usually the best weekend to shop because you can snag some great stocking stuffers — like the black and white plaid scarf with pom poms – for a beyond reasonable price.

With it just starting to cool off in Kentucky, I’m hoping to fill a few different holes in my closet this weekend.  I’m in desperate need of some new long sleeved tees; I love 3/4 sleeve and tend to avoid the layering tees that come in handy this time of year.  I also wouldn’t be mad about buying a new coat.  Most of mine are from when I was in undergrad at UK and aside from being old, also are big since I’ve lost weight since then.

What are you hoping to pick up this weekend?

Gift Guide: Beauty Gifts Under $50

November 22, 2016

Turn off your ad blocker to view content

We’re two days away from Thanksgiving which means the holiday shopping season is almost here!  {Pretty sure I’m still scarred from last year.}  I like to start shopping now so that I can order online, ship it to myself, wrap it and then ship it out to my various family and friends.  While lots of people wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to shop, I like to get my orders in before things start selling out and take advantage of the pre-Black Friday sales.

Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite under $50 beauty items; I’ve included a pretty good variety of price points so some of these can be stocking stuffers or be put into a basket of goodies while others are just really great deals!  I’ll talk about some of them below, but simply click the item in the collage to shop.
