Hear ye, hear ye! The third annual Mostly Lisa Gift Guide series is here for your enjoyment, and is chock full of gift ideas for that special gal in your life. She is so important that you're willing to go above and beyond to make her holidays extra magical, and whether she is 15 or 50, she will be sure to enjoy any one of these unique ideas. If your lady likes to be super romantic, a little quirky or into the basics, I've got you covered! Out of all of these items, my favorite has to be the Pizza Bralette from Bones Lingerie. It speaks to me on all kinds of levels, and even comes as a set with high-waisted underwear. What makes it even better? April, the owner, makes these custom lingerie sets by herself in Los Angeles. If you have a favorite fabric or need a change, she'll do it for you no questions asked! Shop all the links above, and let me know what you would choose for the lady in your life!
I am VERY excited for you all to be here, and hope you enjoy this year's Gift Guide series. There will be a total of seven of these, and on the last one I will be hosting a giveaway! It will be the biggest giveaway I've ever done, with a total of 5 gifts for one person. Make sure to tell your friends, family, coworkers and anyone who would be interested. The contest is going to be run on Mostly Lisa and my Instagram, so make sure to check in as the last Gift Guide approaches next Wednesday! xoxo

While this Thanksgiving might not be celebrating by sitting around the table with family, it doesn't mean I can't dream about what I'd want it to look like. I'll be at work eating food with one hand and helping guests find Black Friday deals in the other, all while dreaming of festive décor and pieces for a table setting. There are so many of these this year, which also make for some fantastic gift ideas for those hostesses who are making dinner. Shop below for some of my favorite ideas, and make sure to check back tomorrow for the first installment of the Mostly Lisa Gift Guide series!

• The QUEEN has come back into our lives! Adele performed her new song, "Hello" for the first time a few days ago!
• If you follow me on social, you might have seen a little question floating around. I'm in the process of starting my Holiday Gift Guide, and I want to know what YOU think I should put in the giveaway I'm doing. Look out on Wednesday for a sneak peek at who I will be gifting this year.
• The new Japanese Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is all kinds of chill-inducing!
•  Look at this Princess dress from ModCloth! Wowza.
• Just found out I might be able to get a new laptop for the holidays, and I'm so excited! I've been looking at this HP Laptop in blue!
• Nowhere near being in the holiday spirit, but these Gilded Leaves String Lights are so pretty!
• If you've never watched a Kristen Leanne video, I highly recommend starting with this one. It's about owning and purchasing Cruelty Free makeup from your local drugstores. This is really beneficial, and is a great way to incorporate doing something ethical into your daily life.  
• One more Adele thing... Did anyone see her cover for Rolling Stone? How epic is this?!
• I am so ready for The Melt Shop to come to Mall of America next year! They're from New York and serve different versions of grilled cheese sandwiches. SO GOOD!
• How pretty is this wallpaper?!
• I CAN'T WITH THIS!

If there was thing that would make me happy above everything else, it would be if the weather could stay the way it is right now all year round. It's magical, it's romantic and above all, it's comfortable. By that I mean, you can truly take the time to enjoy the little things and embrace them fully. There is more time to appreciate the colors that are so vibrant, and the sunsets that are consistently so beautiful every evening. You don't get those chances any other time during the year, and that makes me really enjoy autumn. The state I live in, Minnesota, offers both of those so nicely during October + November that I really dread when it becomes December.

I say that because, the other thing I really appreciate about this time? There is still the motivation to be happy and want to be outgoing. Winter brings out a really dark part of me, where I tend to be more depressed than I usually am, and I hate that it can affect me so much. It's brutal, I tend to want to isolate myself more because it's so cold outside! At least in fall, your outside view is like a painting waiting to be seen. Here's hoping this upcoming cold season won't be too bad, and then we can go right into spring!
I should probably slow down though, right? Jumping too far ahead, so let's go back to last weekend! My sister and her family joined me on a trip up North, to Gooseberry Falls in Two Harbors, Minnesota. This time of year is so beautiful up there, you get the best scenery of colors and atmosphere. It's beginning to become tradition to go up there, whether it's with family or friends, and I'm quite liking it. The chance to get away, even if for a few hours, is super relaxing and you're still in the same state!

 If you should ever visit the Midwest, I highly recommend stopping by this area and enjoying it like I do. Which area in your state do you enjoy seeing the autumn colors and scenery? Let me know in the comments below, and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
