WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT GUIDE


Thought you weren't going to get another gift guide this Blogmas well GUESS AGAIN! I love white elephant parties specifically because I love to see what someone saw and thought this... this is what I'll bring. 
Some people bring really great gifts, others bring absolute crap and they are both wonderful in their own way. I always love watching people fight over the best present because they don't want the poo emoji bracelet they got stuck with. 
The worst white elephant present I ever received was at my mum's work Christmas party back in 2009. I got a freaking bobble head of a baseball player that I had NO clue about and was so disappointed. So that's why I'm preparing this list for you so that at least someone has been warned against purchasing gifts like sporty bobbleheads.

AUGUST FAVORITES //

asos
Welp. Bye August of 2016 it was nice knowin' ya! We are finally finally FINALLY in the month of September woo woo woo woo. I spent an incredible holiday weekend up in Lake Arrowhead and it was literally the perfect transition weekend into Fall. The air was chilled and when the fog rolls up the side of the mountain and spills onto the streets and houses around the lake it feels like you could be living in a cloud. I was able to wear my new bomber jacket (which shall be put in my favorites below!) and actually not feel crazy for bundling up.
We also went to the resort for a cheeky little massage and gaaahhh it was pure heaven! I think I will need to do a good post for Lake Arrowhead the next time I'm up there...
Without further ado here are my August loves

Movies: I didn't go to the movies once... this whole month... that. never. happens. 
Television: I also lagged hard in the t.v. department in terms of new television shows hehe sars.
I did rewatch Scream Queens and have been catching up on Masters of Sex before the new season starts! I am so beyond BEYOND beyond ready for Fall television to begin I could barf.
Music: I think I am going to be making a fall playlist so I will definitely link that in my twitter. 

Happy Fall y'all and let me know what you were loving the month of August! Xoxo Sam
