It's Black Friday, so I know that a lot of you are shopping for the holidays. What perfect time to do my next installment? So, next up on the list is the Dapper Dad! This man knows how to dress, is clean shaven or has a great beard, and looks to street style for inspiration. These items should please Dad because he can incorporate any one of them into his daily outfit or routine! On the plus side, only one item is over $100!
Ted Baker Paisley Bowtie: Ted Baker makes men's bowties that are impeccably styled and hand crafted. This gorgeous maroon paisley tie would look great during this holiday season. It comes in two different colors, maroon and blue, and is only $75!
Vintage Mercury Dime Cuff Links: What Dad doesn't love something vintage? What Dad doesn't love Brooks Brothers? Well with these silver cuff links, he would be over the moon! These ones just so happened to be hand crafted from the '40s, and cost only $95!
Stacy Adams Dalton Wingtip Oxfords: You really can't go wrong with a great pair of oxfords. These gorgeous pairs from Piperlime can create a sleek look for dad, that would match great with a pair of jeans or pants! Great thing too, they're only $49.
J.Crew Tall Vintage Oxford Shirt in Plaid: Plaid from J.Crew for Dad? Need I say more? $75
Black Textured Suspenders: If Dad wears a lot of suits, these textured suspenders would be a great gift idea. Since they are black, they'll go with any type of suit and will make him look extremely handsome. $36!
Edwin Jagger Leather Travel Shaving Pack: The cost of this amazing shaving pack may be $191, but boy would it be worth it to surprise dad on Christmas morning with it. The tagline for this shaving pack reads, "Edwin Jagger, impeccable male grooming accessories." So read closely, and buy this for dad!
Have a great Friday!

So I am really late on this train, but I figure I still have a chance to share and put it out there that I receieved it! I am apart of the HerCampus Blogger Network and I signed up to get their Back-to-School Survivor Kit that is jam packed with a bunch of great samples to hand out. You may be asking what is in this great kit, and I will be telling you! (Yes, I also know that it is way past the beginning of college but it never hurts to get ready for the next semester or quarter early.)
I opened up the box and saw this great postcard with a very nice note on the back.
"Hey collegiates, welcome back to campus! We are so excited to have you are on our team and running our HerCampus chapter at your school. As a thank you for all that you do, we've sent you some of our favorite goodies. Enjoy these with your team, and have a wonderful semester. xoxo, The HerCampus National Team." Isn't that so sweet?!
First off, we have to have a great clipboard to handle all of our work during the quarter. I love added bonus of the HerCampus.com sticker on the back. I am currently using it as holding all of my important papers for the end of my own quarter.
More swag featuring HerCampus.com! This great bag is perfect to put on your back and hold all of your books and notebooks. Definitely going to be using this for outings around the city and fun events!
The first product I saw was these great yellow notebooks by a brand I have never of. Poppin is the name, and they sell super cute supplies for school. There were 10 of these notebooks, and they are the perfect size to keep notes with these great green gel pens! There were also 8 of these gel ink pen boxes, with 5 of them in each. Definitely sharing them with people around me.
Poppin:
Poppin proves that school supplies and dorm décor do not need to be boring anymore! They help you rule the classroom and campus in style and color because they aren’t just an office supply company; they sell work style products that allow you to work happy. With the new colorful notebooks and pens you are guaranteed to brighten up your campus!
For $5 off your next purchase, use code: DORMSTYLE.

The next few items were some more great swag from HerCampus. These pens are super easy on the hand and nice to write with. Going to be handing some these around campus to tell fellow friends about the site. I also love the sticker featuring Audrey Hepburn and the HerCampus.com window sticker.
Some of the final products I received were these LUNA S'mores bars and Neuro SONIC Energy water. Both are super delicious and I have tried before, so it was a nice surprise to have these in there. I ended up getting three packages of this water to hand out. I don't know when this will happen, but I am hoping that I can get them out to people that I know. It's a really great water and it doesn't give you the jitters, it just makes you focused. Then the LUNA bars are pretty delicious also, they are just tasty.
Neuro SONIC:
Neuro SONIC provides great
taste and sustained, focused energy. Neuro SONIC energizes your life and helps
you focus on what matters. Most importantly, Neuro SONIC will give you more go. Increases alertness. Sustains energy. Supports mental performance.

cravings in a nutritious way! LUNA offers many delicious

power you through your busy days from class.

Happy Wednesday!
It's currently a gorgeous, sunny day here in Minnesota and I am feeling pretty good. I received an email this morning that made my day even better! Darling Clothes sent out their annual Autumn/Winter Wear collection and I am in heaven! If you haven't heard of Darling, they are a U.K. brand that sells 'English Vintage Looks'! They offer gorgeous and affordable luxury products that are quintessentially British. So obviously I am going to love them, right?! I first heard of Darling through ModCloth, and then just happened by chance to be able to work with their Spring 2012 line while I was interning with Red Light PR in New York. I was so excited to be able to pull their clothing for magazines and different clients, because I knew it was good quality clothing. But back to the Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, here are some of my favorites! Check out their site and their Facebook and let me know some of your favorites!
Bailey Dress ($111.09)
Mandy Dress ($88.55)
Vanessa Coat ($136.85)

Hi guys! It's been awhile, but life has been stressful (nothing new there) and I have been going through the motions. Working hard, or hardly working. Hope you all had a great Halloween! I ended up handing out candy to some really cute Trick or Treaters, and then went to a bar with one of my good friends from school! I dressed up as a 'Happy Witch', but who gets shit done. It was a great night, and I saw some perfect costumes.
As October is now over, we're moving into colder months that will eventually lead to snowfall and being able to see your breath outside. You have to make sure you dress appropriately during this time, but you can still look super chic while being bundled up to keep warm. While I currently do not own anything in this fabric, suede is a great place to start and I think that it is very weather appropriate. The term "suede" actually comes from the French "gants de Suède", which literally means "Swedish gloves." While it may be a trend for fall, I also think that it can easily transition into winter. Suede is mostly seen in gorgeous trench coats, especially in Burberry's fall 2013 collection, and slouchy bags that you can wear through the seasons. Luxurious browns and tans are some of the best ways to wear suede, but you can also mix it up with some great color. So do any of you own suede? I would definitely love to own my own Burberry trench, but that is a dream for the very far future. So now, enjoy some great looks!
