OKAY WAIT: If you don’t wanna read this and you just wanna shop for fine jewelry at deep discounts click this link and use code LexiN20 to save 20% off. Thank me later!

February is a big month around here because my birthday is the 11th, V-Day is the 14th, and my anniversary is the 22nd! And to be frank…this month hurts our bank account! I’m usually fine with one combo gift to try to be budget friendly, but this year I’m super excited (and so is my husband’s wallet) to partner with my friends at ShopLC and share some HEAVILY discounted fine jewelry! Jackpot!

ShopLC cuts out the middleman and manufactures their jewelry themselves. This means major savings for us! This gorgeous necklace is platinum over sterling silver, and Swarovski zirconia and retails at approx. $329.99. On the ShopLC website it’s only $79.99! They have high ticket items like engagement rings and solid gold jewelry, as well as more fashion jewelry and everything in between. All for prices that make you and your Valentine VERY happy! 

For my birthday I always wanna be as sparkly as possible! I’m talking body glitter, a tiara, and major bling! So these emerald and platinum over sterling silver hoops are PERFECT! They retail at approx. $729.99 but on the ShopLC website they are only $99.99! What I love about these hoops are the emeralds on the inside, so that you’re seeing jewels from all angles! I love these earrings because they are a great special occasion piece but I totally feel like I can wear them with a casual outfit for a pop of color! I mean, hoops go with everything, ya know? But if hoops aren’t your thing, ShopLC  literally has thousands of options from $3.00-$5,000.00! They actually have a Swarovski crystal version of these earrings (and other colors) for only $9.99! They truly have something for every style and budget!

One of my anniversary wishes was adding an anniversary band to my bridal set! Y’all know I LOVE pink so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this pink tourmaline band in platinum over sterling silver! I literally squealed when I saw it retailed at approx. $289.99 and on the ShopLC website it’s only…$39.99!!!! At these prices I can have an anniversary band for every day of the week! This ring is too sparkly and looks beautiful with my set and also on its own! I’ve never been one for traditional bridal sets, and love being able to switch things up and have fun with my rings! 

When Will and I got married on 2/22/2020 last year, it was before 2020 went..well..bananas (to put it politely lol). This first year of marriage has been a challenge because 2020 was a challenging year overall! Will has been my calm through the storm and has been the most supportive and patient partner I could ask for and I feel so lucky! I’m not easy to quarantine with! lol! Needless to say, we are CELEBRATING the beginning of year 2! No matter your reason for celebrating, ShopLC has something beautiful and affordable for every occasion!

And as if you needed another reason to love them, ShopLC partners with No Kids Hungry to provide meals with each purchase! You can save extra 20% off your purchase with code LexiN20 so check them out now! Happy shopping!

My Winter Picks: With rue21

Winter can be tough because it’s cold and dark and wet. Huge bummer! Something that carries me through the bummer of winter are the cute clothes and accessories! Summer is so hot I don’t wanna layer or even wear shoes lol. So when it gets cold outside I get excited to pull out the boots and jackets! My favorite place to find super affordable and trendy fashion and accessories is rue21

I partnered with my friends at rue21 to show you my top two winter looks, one cozy and one trendy! My cozy look is perfect for being comfy and cute at home, or on your work or family holiday zoom party! My trendy look is a sexier, 90’s throwback which is perfect for a facetime date, or filming TikToks. Don’t lie, you know you wanna! The accessories for both for both of these looks also make awesome gifts if you’re looking for a last minute, or belated holiday gift! 

My cozy look starts with this Oatmeal Heather Corset Waist Hacci Knit Dress ($21.99- almost sold out). I cannot praise this dress enough. I’ve literally worn it three times already because it’s sooo comfortable. This dress is super soft (it almost feels like cashmere) and the cut and stretch make it insanely comfy, even for lounging! I love pieces like this because I can be snug but look cute and instantly put together! I paired it with a pair of Taupe Faux Fur Fold Over Short Cozy Boots ($12.99). These boots are lightweight and an affordable alternative to pricier brands. The insides are plush and I could wear them all day! I added Gold Hoops which come in a 7-pack of different styles ($7.99) and these White Faux Fur Over Sized Hair Clips ($5.99) to add a feminine touch and make the look a little dressier! The total for this whole outfit was under $50, which is unbeatable!

For this 90’s throwback I went with all black pieces but mixed up the textures for a fun look! This Faux Fur Trim Bungee Tank Top ($19.99) is such a fun addition to my wardrobe and I can’t wait to match it with so many other things! This Black Ruched Side Slit Midi Skirt ($22.99) is stretchy so you get that body con silhouette while also being able to sit easily! I love the ruching on the sides for a sexy vibe! I topped it with this Faux Leather Shirt Jacket ($16.49) and i’m totally obsessed with it! This is basically a faux leather button down shirt and is the perfect solution for when you want to add a leather jacket for the aesthetic but don’t want to burn up wearing leather indoors. Its lightweight and even has a bit of stretch! I’d love to try tying it up to Britney Spears style next time! For accessories I went bananas lol! I just can’t help myself because rue21 has such low prices I can have it all! These Butterfly Wing Lense Sunglasses ($7.99) are so fun and I feel like a TikTok star (joking!…sorta..)! I’m wearing Gold Hoops again because they are classic, and I paired them with this Gold “Hot Girl” Necklace ($4.99) because who doesn’t love Megan Thee Stallion? I put these Scrunchies ($6.99 for a pack of 3) on my wrists because not only are they great to have when I need to throw my hair up but they make a cute accessory! The total for this look, accessories and all, was less than $89!

If any of these pieces jumped out at you, you should jump on it because rue21 changes their collections up pretty often to keep things fresh, and I don’t want you to miss out! Not exactly what you’re looking for? No worries! rue21 has TONS more to choose from on their website. You can also find more inspo on their blog! Happy holidays, stay safe and stay warm! 

Holiday Gifts Under $50: Something For Everyone!

Woah it’s already December? How the heck did that even happen, lol!? 2020 has been the longest year of my life but somehow this holiday season has already whizzing by! I guess because I’m finally feel a spark of hope and cheer…oy vey! 

Well if you’re anything like me you’re super into the holidays this year because you’re clinging to anything bright and shiny as a well deserved distraction from the chaos of America… just me? Jokes aside, I’m super pumped about the holidays! Gift giving is my love language and shopping is my hobby so this is basically like, my Super Bowl! But I understand that not every is super into shopping and it can be difficult to find gifts for everyone on your list. Not to mention, most of us are on a pretty tight budget! So I partnered with some super awesome brands to give you some ideas that’ll make everyone on your list happy…for under $50!

Smart watches are a hot item this year and would be the perfect gift for basically anyone! iTouch Wearables is a great quality and budget friendly option for smart watches! The iTouch watches are compatible with Android and iOS but cost waaaay less than their competitors…I’m talking under $50! I think these smart watches are perfect for younger kids and teens who want a smart watch but you want to ease them into the responsibility of owning expensive electronics! It’s also a great option for anyone who thinks they might be interested in owning a smart watch but is on the fence. And its a fabulous gift to completely surprise someone with because its impressive, functional, and doesn’t break the bank! I’m giving the iTouch Air Special Edition to my husband so he can do all kinds of things hands free while he’s at work delivering mail (he’s so cute in the mail man uniform!). 

I’ve been using 7th Heaven face masks since I was a teenager! I usually get mine at Walmart or Ulta and they are super affordable and so much fun! I love doing a face mask with my sister while we watch movies or just before my shower after a long day. The price is so good (most are $1!) you won’t feel like you have to save these masks for a special occasion, so any day can feel special! These make fantastic stocking stuffers for the whole family (yes, even your dad should do a face mask!) or group a bunch together for a gift! For my birthday last year my friend gave me a cute mug full of face masks and candy and it was such a great gift! So if you’re looking for the perfect little touch to add to a gift set, or tape a gift card to, 7th Heaven products would be just the thing! 

Okay so this one is hilarious to me but maybe I just have an immature sense of humor lol! Ballsy is a company that makes grooming gifts for bodies with balls (and obviously anyone else who want to use Ballsy!) and their stuff is super nice! I don’t know about y’all but my husband is the type of typical dude who use a 5 in one shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, tooth paste…okay I made that last part up but that’s how it feels! I think its super cool that Ballsy makes high quality products that are sensitive enough for men’s privates and targets their specific needs!The best part is these high end products don’t have a high price tag! I’m giving my husband the Jolly Jewels Sack Pack for Christmas, which smells amazing btw, and it includes the Nutts Butts and Body Wash, Nut Run Solid Cologne, and the Sack Spray Odor Neutralizer for only $45! Their gift sets start at $35 and are all under $100! Ballsy offers a variety of products starting at only $15 as well as a subscription service starting as low as $6 a month! This would be a great gift for your significant other, friends, siblings, and maybe even your dad if he has a good sense of humor lol! 

We all know that person who is hard to shop for because they already have EVERYTHING. Instead of buying them another candle (calling myself out!) get them Formé, the worlds first high heel shaper! This gift is perfect for a shoe lover or organizing fanatic because it helps you break in your new heels and also keep their shape in storage while they’re not being worn. I love useful tools and gadgets like this because although it’s use is practical, it’s so clever it feels like a novelty. Formé would also be a great add on gift to a beautiful pair of heels or a gift card to go shoe shopping! 

I have a lot of book lovers on my list and I love supporting Nashville creatives so this next one is my personal fave! Squeeze The Lime, written by local Nashville native Courtnie R. Dunn, is a novel about a young southern belle heroine who is determined to find her purpose, but along the way a new guy enters her life. Her world is flipped upside down and she must overcome harsh obstacles such as betrayal, stalking, and ever murder. She will also discover the power of love. I love reading books with female characters written by female authors! I also love that this book combines a story of self disocvery with a love story AND adds thriller elements! If you love stories where you can escape into someone else’s world (and drama) you will love Squeeze The Lime!  You can find Squeeze The Lime many places online, but I highly recommend purchasing it from Nashville’s independent book store Parnassus Books! Support a local author AND a local book store, and now you’re Santa! Don’t forget, it’s totally okay to get a gift for yourself too! 

I hope this list was helpful! Head over to instagram story highlight for more pics and videos of these gifts and more! Stay tuned for more gift guides coming your way all next week! Ho ho ho! 

My Holiday Wish List: With rue21

I think it’s safe to say, a lot of us are ballin’ on a budget this holiday season, especially after the wild year we’ve had! I’m sure many of you, like me, still want to spread some holiday cheer and spoil your loved ones (and yourself!). Well we are in luck because rue21 is offering amazing Black Friday deals with 40% off of their already affordable prices! I’m a Black Friday super fan, so I’m giving you an early look at my rue21 wish list!

Who doesn’t love cozy gifts? Blankets, slippers and socks make perfect gifts for everyone on your list and rue21 is the perfect one-stop-shop for all things cozy! In my family we always open one gift on Christmas Eve and it’s always pajamas. I love this tradition because you can never have too many jammies! There is a wide selection available at rue21 but for my wish list I chose this comfy maroon sherpa jacket and matching sherpa shorts. They are insanely soft! I also got some festive Christmas pajamas for my dogs Hans and Mandi Moore! If your dog or cat is a good sport like mine are, I highly recommend dressing them in adorable rue21 pajamas for a boost of serotonin! Like I said, you can never have enough pajamas, so I also had to have these penguin pj’s. I paired them with this fuzzy blue sweater that I plan to wear as lounge wear and street wear! If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I have a huge obsession with penguins (I have a whole IG highlight dedicated to penguins) so I also chose this penguin blanket and socks! I love winter holiday season because it’s the time of year when there is an abundance of penguin swag!

While rue21 has plenty gifts for the guys in your life, they really pop off when it comes to their girly and glam gifts! To make gift giving even easier, rue21 has the perfect gifts sets! It was so hard to choose but I decided on lipgloss and lashes gift sets! I love the shiny packaging and the price point is pretty great perk as well! The only thing I love more that beauty products is accessories, and rue21 definitely has us covered there. You can always find classic, everyday pieces like a black headband or CZ stud earrings but I love that rue21 always has the latest trends too! Whenever I see trendy statement pieces online I go straight rue21 because I know they’ll have it. For my wish list I was on the hunt for three different styles of earrings that I’ve seen everyone wearing on TikTok and rue21 had a set of earrings with all three! If there is a teenager in your life you find hard to shop for, I doubt you can wrong with accessories from rue21. I’m 28 but my sister is 16 and keeps me young, lol!

Okay so this is less fun and exciting, but everyone needs the basics. The holidays are a great time to receive goodies but it’s also super helpful to recite practical gifts like masks, socks, t shirts, jeans, and leggings. If you want to keep things festive but also functional, rue21 has a great selection of hats, gloves, and scarves that will certainly come in handy durning these winter months. These are also great gift ideas for the people on your list who are tricky to shop for. If you’re like me, you might even want to stock up for yourself and buy extras to donate to your local shelters!more gift ideas
