In case you’re still doing some holiday shopping, (which let’s admit: we all are!), we have some great gift ideas for you that all ship free through tomorrow! If you’re not sure what to get someone, a sweater like this cashmere one is always a good idea! This one is so soft and cozy, and with grey, you can’t beat it! We are wearing xxs in it.
If you’re on more of a budget, this cashmere beanie is a great gift. It fits perfectly and keeps your head and ears warm! Plus, it looks super cute with any outfit.
If you’re in the market for some good denim, or know someone who is, this pair of jeans is great, especially for petites because it is an ankle cut, meaning it hits someone like us, at 5’1″, at our ankle.
If clothes are not something you like giving, this fold-over clutch is a great accessory and comes in red and black!
These booties make a great gift as well, and are more of a splurge, but are the best quality, and will last for years! They come in three other colors (we are wearing the “black pebbled” color). They are made in Italy, and 100% Italian leather, aka- the good stuff!
All of these pieces from Everlane are great gifts, and not only that, they are classic, so they can be worn for years, and mix and matched with other pieces you have in your closet. Their cashmere sweaters are to die for, and so are their Italian boots. Just check out their reviews to see how much people love their stuff! Another cool thing about them: they are very transparent about their costs to produce each piece is!
We don’t know about you all, but when we are running around, and especially when we are traveling, we always look for an easy and comfortable shoe that we can slip on and off. We found this pair of grey step ins from KIZIK that we have been loving and had to share them with you all!
They come in a lot of color options, but we love the grey because it goes with everything! We went with a size 6.5, and they fit perfectly!
We paired them with some faux leather leggings, a grey cardigan, and a plaid shirt for an easy, comfy travel look!
What is so cool about these is that they are laceless, so they can be put on and taken off without your hands! No need to bend over to get your shoes on and off, just stick your feet in, and you’re good to go!
That is why we especially love them for traveling. You’re already in a rush, so the last thing you want to do is have to spend even more time getting your shoes on or lacing them up.
These shoes feature F.A.S.T technology (Foot Activated Shoe Technology) and are made of high-tech materials, have an automatic fit so you can just step in, and have adjustment strips on both sides of the tongue for a high or low arch.
We are so excited for today’s blog post because one of our boyfriends, Taylor, is making his debut on the blog, and we are sure it won’t be the last you will be seeing of him on here 😉 We are teaming up with an amazing activewear brand, Lolë, to share this fun, comfortable, but put-together look for the holidays, or date night! And, we are even more excited to share five tips for a great relationship!
Before we get into that, we wanted to talk about both of these looks! These puffer jackets for him and her are PERFECT! We were surprised at how warm they actually are! They are thinner and packable, which is great for traveling, or layering up!
Samantha is wearing the Maria Jacket in the “Gelato” color in size xs. We love that the jacket has pockets, is water repellent, and wind proof! It is made with LOFTECH™, which is vegan, and is the closest synthetic insulation to down created. You can also pack it into a little pouch, which we love!
Taylor is wearing their best-selling Irving Packable Jacket in a size L. He is wearing the jacket in their “Hot Springs Blue” color way, which is out of stock in the jacket, but still available in this Irving Vest (made out of the same material as the jacket). The jacket comes in black, navy, and “khaki”, which is an olive green color, and really pretty on!
Similar to Samantha’s jacket, this one can repel snow, rain, and wind. It comes in a pouch, so it is easy to travel with. You can wear it with jeans, workout clothes, or in the mountains!
We paired our jackets with some great pieces from Lolë.. Samantha is wearing this adorable sweater dress in size xs that fits perfectly and is made from recycled bottles– how cool is that?! Looks great with the jacket and boots! We paired this super cute pom pom beanie with it and this vegan bag that is great for gym or traveling!
Taylor is wearing these new, stretchy black jeans that are great to dress up any casual look. They are made from 98% Cotton and 2% Lycra, which means they keep their shape throughout the day!
He also layered this black long sleeve tee (size L), which fits great! It can be worn with jeans, or to the gym! It is also made with 100% Pima Cotton, which is 40% stronger than standard cotton– super soft and durable!
And, now for our relationship tips:
Have Open Communication- This is probably our biggest tip! If you don’t have communication, then you don’t have anything. It is not always easy to do at times, but you will grow so much as a unit when doing so!
Be Willing To Give And Take: It is not always sunshine and rainbows, so you have to be willing to give without expecting a return. It is not always tit-for-tat, so you have to do things for someone because you truly want to.
Have Interests Outside The Relationship: It can be very easy once you’re comfortable to be with each other, and nobody else. However, you need to have time with friends, time to focus on yourself as an individual, and have time to miss each other.
Build And Maintain Trust: Trust is major. Once trust is broken, you cannot get it back. If you don’t trust someone, you will be doubting your entire relationship. We are speaking from experience, it will not end well.
Respect Boundaries And Privacy: This is something we have learned from all of our relationships. You have to know when to drop something and when to let people have their space. If you are too overbearing or lack confidence, it is a turn-off to other people.
What we love about the Lolë brand is that their clothes are great for working out, but also great athleisure wear for going on a date or running errands around town! All of the pieces are incredible quality, which we are all about! Lole actually stands for Live Out Loud Every Day, and we love this message because we live our lifestyle by this mantra, very healthy and on the healthiest note we can.
Holiday season and parties are in full swing, so we wanted to share some holiday shoe options for you all that you can wear into these cooler months and spring.
