Top 12 Last Minute Gifts

Here are a few things on my personal wish list. I think they'll work well for other people too. 

1. The Powermate Plus: Who doesn't have an iPhone today? I'm sure everyone's (because mine ALWAYS does) battery dies during the day from scrolling through Instagram & Twitter wishing your life was as cool as everyone else's. 

2. Leather iPhone Case: Now you need something sexy and classy to put your phone in.

3. Ray Ban Sunglasses: I WANT these!! They're a really great blend between a classic wayfarer and aviator. 

4. Mock Turtleneck Sweater: Last year, I really wanted this sweater, but it sold out. They brought it back again. I'm not a huge fan of turtlenecks because I find them confining, but I like this one because it's a mock. 

5. Dressing the Man: Everybody loves a good coffee table book, and this is one you can actually read.  For the men in your lives, this is a great gift. I bought it for my dad. 

6. Lion Statuettes: I almost bought these in the mall the other day in the blue. They're really cool, and perfect for the person trying to stock empty bookshelves with funky shit. 

7. DooDoo iPad Case: I love my iPad, and I wish I used it more. I'll make it a New Year's Revolution. This is THE best iPad case, though. It's really protective, and let's face it... bitch is sexy. 

8. Ornament: Getting an ornament for people is a nice idea because they stick it right on the tree (or hang it from their menorah), and the next year they think of you when they take it out. 

9. Tate's Cookbook: Kathleen King, the owner of Tate's, is an incredible baker. I've never used this cookbook, but I'm sure everything is frickin' delish. 

10. iPod Shuffle: Dontchya just love this little sucker? And at $49, it's a steal! 

11. Bacon of the Month Club: I saw this club on the Food Network the other day, and immediately went online and signed myself up for it. I can't wait for the first installment. You're allowed to have a few me-gifts each Christmas, right?

12. Concert Tickets: I love to go to concerts, but don't go to many. I've been trying to go to more and have bought tickets to two concerts next year already. 

Merry Christmas!

Cheers, 

Jack

About these photos: Bowtie: Dad's, Shirt: J. Crew (here), Watch: Dad's, Ring: inherited from our Grandmother, Suspenders/Pants: Forever 21, Shoes: JC Penny

Here is my sister, Claire, for the second time. If you remember she had her first guest appearance here. She's literally a child when it comes to taking pictures, so consider yourselves lucky that you got this much from the sassiest girl (read: bitch) I know. 

I read a quote the other day about friends, and since she's my actual best friend, I think it fits: 

"Friends are like toilets, no matter how much crap you give them, they'll still be holding up your ass for more" 

I mean how true is that? I hope you're taking notes, Claire. 

Cheers,

PS her shoes were an incredible find from JC Penny at a mere $15!! 

That Damn Time of Year Again

Hat: Thrifted, Glasses: H&M, Sweater: J. Crew (old), Shirt: H&M, Bowtie: borrowed from my Dad, Jeans: Gap, Shoes: Johnston & Murphy, Socks: J. Crew

It's that time of year again when everybody in the world lives at the mall, and you can't get within three miles of a mall without getting stuck in gridlock. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas.... like actually love it. It's just I can't deal with ridiculous people (read: Asians) and their incredibly poor driving. How is it that you rarely have to deal with them during the off season, but drop the temperature and start talking about a morbidly obese, old man wearing a ratchet, red suit with polar bear trim, they come out of the wood work like it's their job. I, for one, don't understand it.

I'm trying to come up with a top last minute holiday gift guide by tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Cheers,
