Love or hate Valentine’s Day, it’s still full of sales so why not profit on that angle, am I right? The boys have cute parties at school so I threw together a fun little outfit to be festive along with them!

| Lips Top | Distressed Skinny Jeans | Similar Leopard Clutch | Earrings |

| Similar Watch | Bangle Bracelets |

And how can we not add in my favorite shoes?! They really are just perfect for all holidays

And out of sheer laziness I am just going to link some of my fave picks from each store! Show a little love for yourself this year and grab something that puts a smile on your face! Especially from this new line that Bauble Bar has launched at Target! Affordable and adorable are two words that have me snatching things up before they are gone

I hope you all have a beautiful week!

The stockings where hung, the presents were wrapped… then all hell broke loose and the only safe space was the dining room!

| Similar Shirts | Wrapping Paper |

This year was very special because I got new dishes! I can remember my Mom getting special dishes on Christmas and I’m so excited to have my very own… and you won’t believe it but… they are blue and white! I know, you are shocked.  This Christmas Table Setting is my favorite and will be used for many years to come.

I feel these blue and white dishes were just meant to be in my home.  Just nod your head in agreement.   I might have needed the matching platter as well.  I mean it was all on sale (still is actually)!

The bowls are my favorite and I will keep them on display in my hutch.  They match my thrifted acrylic blue napkin holders perfectly!  I have thrifted most of my silver as well but you can find similar pieces here.   For other room sources, you can find them in the Dining Room Make-Over!

The Holiday Desert Plates, which are currently out of stock but could possibly come back, are another favorite, but these are an amazing second option (and on sale) and it was a hard choice between the two for me!

And how could I forget the bar cart?! It had to get prepped for some holiday entertaining!

The drink shakers were a black friday present to myself.  Stop judging.  I saved so much money on everyone else it just made sense.   And the antique drink stirrers are about my favorite holiday decor ever!

We are ready to have a beautiful dinner and then carry it into a Happy New Year and I wish the same to you all!

My first online shop is Perfectly Gifted Frisco.  It was hard for me to even narrow down the gifts I wanted to feature because I loved so many, but my top pick was definitely this adorable Dalmation Tray.  This is something I would keep out all year and dress it up for the different seasons on our coffee table! And if you want to throw some more cuteness on it, guess what? They sell monograms… I can’t ever pass up a monogram!

My second favorite was this adorable, again customizable, cork carry all!

Pick your colors and fonts and give a gift that is personal and will be loved much longer than just this season!

The next fun stop is Accessory Concierge! These locals are always on my shopping list and if truth be told, I have a hard time buying for others when shopping there… but yes, I know, it’s about giving right now!

First up- bracelets… ALL the bracelets! The cuffs are my personal favorite but you can find their huge selection here.

I could go on for hours about the necklaces and earrings as well but they also have a fun section of home decor and these Agate Napkin Rings are calling my name!

Literally drooling.  And you won’t want to stop there when you see the other agate accessories they have!

Last, but certainly not least, is a store called All The Wire.  I love this store for not only the charitable work that they do but also for the stories they want to put behind their products.  Can you tell I am working on a theme this year? Personal.  I want my people to know that when I bought them a present it wasn’t out of obligation, but out of thought and care and the jewelry that All the Wire sells can be customized to express a certain sentiment or date to show that!

This Coordinate Bar is one of my favorites.  The location of your birth, your wedding, your first home, a loved one.  I personally have one of these and it displays the coordinates of where my Mother’s ashes are.  It is by my heart every day and I am always so thankful for it.

Or how about a custom Cuff Bracelet!

I love giving presents and I’m so excited to start checking off my list! I hope your shopping trips are filled with love rather than stress.  It can be a stressful time of year with emotions running high but just remember, it’s the thought that counts!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale time! Ok so maybe that is a slight exaggeration but let’s still be in the spirit, ok?

I am sharing my favorite finds here and a lot more links on FB, so make sure you are following along over there as well because those quick posts will have the items selling out to fast to post here.

Let’s start with ridiculous Under $20 accessories! I have ordered the watch and already have the large pendant necklace and it’s totally gorgeous!! (links below)

| Gold Cuff | White and Pink Studs | Hammered Gold Hoops | Silver Watch |

| Large Pendant Necklace | Turquoise Small Pendant | Emerald Ring |

Some details to note- that watch comes in gold and silver, and there are multiple pieces of jewelry that are so similar to Gorjana (which I love) with the hammered gold and beyond half the price!

Up next are my favorite purses and totes and some of these are under $25 and there is kind of something for everyone here… Fringe, leather, color, neutral, and stripes!

| Backpack | Suede Fringe Crossbody | Red Tote (other colors too) | Striped Tote(red and tan too) |

Now how cute is this tote?! For the pool or beach- just the summer in general! And no joke… Under $30!

I have many people in my life who are next to impossible to shop for! Like the… oh I don’t care what I get kinda people.  You know who you are.  So I made a Top Ten Eleven List of my Favorite Things- just to give some go to ideas for the random presents you might need!

1.  Michael Kors Watch  2.  Humans of New York Book  3.  GlamGlow Face Mask

4.  Kate Spade Planner  5.  Stay Fancy Wine Glass  6.  Leopard Clutch

7.  Kate Spade iPhone Case  8.  Slippers  9.  Peace Sign Tray

10.  Bauble Bar Knot Earrings  11.  Sara Happ Lip Gloss

 Just a few notes… MK watch- always a crowd pleaser and on sale! The Humans of New York book would be an awesome gift! Such great real life stories.  You can follow them on Instagram to see what it’s all about.

Glam Glow face mask basically makes you look 10 years younger after 20 minutes… and no they aren’t paying me to say that.  The lip gloss… I have mentioned it before and it will remain on my Must Have list for life!

I have those slippers in pink from last year and even my Boys try and steal them they are so comfy! Pink and all:) I might need the white ones now though…

That leopard clutch is beyond adorable! If you want to grab an extra one for me that would be just fine! And how cute is the Kate Spade planner and iPhone case?

No clue what someone will like?  Why not get them a little peace sign trinket tray for $14… super cute!

And last but not least… Stay Fancy people with your Stay Fancy wine glass! I may pour beer in mine but it will still be Fancy cause it says so!

I think any of these gifts would bring a smile to a face! And mine… once again… feel free to buy extras for me.  I kid… kinda.

I hope you have a beautiful week and am so thankful for y’all!

Oh and head HERE to find some fun Stocking Stuffers as shown below! (cause everyone needs a banana flask)

The post My Favorite Things 2015 appeared first on Windgate Lane.

It is a joyous day my friends! Just around the corner is Fall and that means fall and winter fashions and the Target Fall 2015 Line has got me super excited!

Forget Lilly Pulitizer.

The new boss in town is Adam Lippes!

And what are Adam and Target bringing to the table you ask? Well only about my favorite thing in the world… Buffalo Check!

Bring a tear to your eye? No worries, here is a plaid tissue box for you…

There’s plaid, there’s gingham…  it is all coming and it looks Gooooood.

You might be wondering what you are missing in your life, well I am here to show you… But first, take out your plaid pencils so you can take notes! Don’t have them? Well no worries, Target has you covered!

| Pencils |

First up: Housewares

The pillows are a no brainer. Buy them. Then cover up with your plaid blanket and sleep better than you ever have.  All Housewares Click Here

And all the better if you can be laying there while starring at your plaid deer head mounted on the wall illuminated by your plaid lamp shades!

Big Baker? No? Who cares, you need this rolling pin. And then obviously you need a cute apron to wear while not using it and staring at your plaid table linens!

| All Kitchen Item Here |

Now I don’t want to forget the four legged fashionistas cause they are covered too! Don’t have a dog? Well you might want to get one…

| Pets |

| Plates |

So now your home and your dog are covered. Take a deep breath because we are moving into Accessories!

I feel like it’s redundant to tell you that you need these things… because we all clearly Need All The Things!

| Watches |

| Scarves | Wallets |

Oh and you are gonna see this girl in these shoes with this bag for sure. Happy Holidays to me! Picture this buffalo check bucket bag with green sweater, black leggings, and a tassel necklace. Done.

| Bucket Bag |

| Travel Bag |

| Heels | Flats |

And the clothes… oh the adorableness.

| Plaid Clothing |

| Black and White Top |

| Rugs |

| Sweater |

Now if after all of that, you are not convinced that you need more buffalo check and plaid in your life… here are a few more necessities when you are out camping! Do I camp, no! Might I someday? Hope not, but why not be prepared is my Motto.

Sleeping Bag. Check.

| Sleeping Bag |

Bandaids. Check.

Chapstick. Check.

I now send you off into this Mad Plaid world fully prepared and ready to count the days until this gloriousness pops up at your local Target!

Come on September 27th!

And once these items become available I will come back and include links to it all, so pin and share with your friends right here —>

The post Target Fall 2015 appeared first on Windgate Lane.

I am sure y’all have been wondering when I would address the Pineapple trend that has swept the nation.  Well I am here with a special Alert to help you find your Pineapple style

I have started slow with my pineapple infusion with two items:

This ceramic Pineapple that I scored at HomeGoods is now a favorite of mine- loving all the detail but the simplicity because it’s all white.

And this tote bag… well the cuteness speaks for itself! Perfect pool and summer bag!

And another option and a bit cheaper, is this cute one!

Now clothing with pineapples can walk a fine line.  You don’t want to show up to a pool party in Idaho looking like a Hawaiian Princess.  But Lucky has a couple of really cute tops here and here!

And this adorable top!

And then my personal favorite- this tiny Pineapple Charm! What a cute little summer gift for a teacher or friend!

So there you have it! Are you ready to get your Pineapple on?! Or no interest whatsoever?

Have a great day!

Who is ready for a fun Summer Shopping List?! ME!

Sometimes my picks have a true reason for the season… but… sometimes they don’t and I just like and want them:)

Let’s start with my favorite fun outfit~

| Free People Swing Top | Gladiator Sandal | Crossbody Bag | Necklace |

| Tassle Bracelets  |  Watch |

This top is so pretty and so comfortable- it even has pockets hidden in the swing:)  And the rest of the accessories are going to work with almost any outfit you put on!

Now as for summer beauty… my summer will consist of pool, sweating, more pool, more sweating, and travel.

| Evian Facial Spray |

| Fringe Swim Cover-Up | Straw Hat |

A cute cover up is essential and the Evian spray I have mentioned before and love at any time of the year.  But during the summer it is so refreshing and then the Dr. JART masks are just about the best things EVER!

Remember when I told you about Sara Happ LipSlip Lipgloss and how it is the most amazing thing EVER? Well these Dr. Jart Hydrogel Masks are just the Bee’s Knees as well!

I wanted to sleep with the mask on just because it was so cool and relaxing! and no one is paying me to say this… but if they want to, I think I could do a pretty awesome infomercial!  (I should note that you are only supposed to wear it for 20-30 minutes).

The hat is a no brainer.  Listen ladies- we can use tanners and bronzers to get our healthy glow! Say no to sun on that pretty face! Maybe in another post I will show all of my favorite bronzers…

So there you have it- some Summer Favorites! Comment and let me know what some of yours are!

It is Nordstrom Triple Points time- which means for those of you who have a Nordstrom card- you are working your way towards awesome $20 notes headed your way! If you don’t have one, you can go here to check out the deets.

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I was in deep concentration when I received the new Nordstrom Catalog. (Follow @WindgateLane here for sneak peaks and fashion inspiration)

Did you notice that Nordstrom Liked my post? It’s like the MotherLand nodding at me!

Ok, enough chit chat- my faves thus far! This simple necklace comes in silver too and I am wanting it for every outfit- and the friendship bracelet I’m sure most of you had in 8th grade? My eyes can’t make those anymore so for $20 some dollars, I want it!  The Kendra Scott gorgeousness is going in the- I want for Mother’s Day- bag

 | 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. |

These cute sandal choices speak for themselves!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am loving all of the floral and lace for spring! These are three of my fave picks!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am currently obsessed with skin care and I love my Clarisonic Skin Care Brush– but now I might just need this to keep that under eye skin nice and pretty- and the Dior… such a great spring/summer color and to just throw in your purse!

| 1. | 2. |

And not Nordstrom related but I had to share this water bottle from Eleventh Avenue because it is the cutest and only $11.50! (affiliate)

| Every Day I’m Hustling Water Bottle |

I hope you are starting to see signs of spring like I am!
