Glitz & Glam
I am so excited to share my holiday gift guide with you.

Men’s Gift Guide
In this Holiday Gift Guide for Men I have featured a variety of gifts from books, technology, sports, music, and clothing. It was also important to me to focus on gifts that are functional, chic, and classic pieces that you can be sure the special man in your life will hold on to for a long time! (except for the Microbrew Beer of the Month Club Membership…that is really a gift that should be enjoyed immediately!)
In creating this gift guide it was also important to me to feature a variety of price points. At my blog Living Luxe for Less, my motto is, spend less, live better, and I believe that everyone should be able to enjoy nice things without going over their budget.

If you were visiting London what would you really like? Tea? a Burberry trench? a bit of Topshop? or maybe a bit of Liberty or a lot? yes, that sounds like right, I’m sure! I’m a big fan of Liberty myself and I would definitely love to add some of these (all actually!) on my Christmas wish list!
Those are totally fantastic. I love the sweater dress, the JCrew shirt for my Balazs, the cute London tote, phone shakers and adorable flats:)
Wish you all a great day, ladies:)
Hugs and kisses
