Five Mile

Remember last week how I was stressing about getting a great present for the boy? I knew I'd be making him cookies (because really, what guy doesn't love baed goods?), but I couldn't settle on a real gift for him, especially since he insisted on me not getting him anything. But he deserves it, and a small something was in order, I just wasn't sure what. I put so much time into picking a gift, consulted so many people, and ultimately found him a perfect present!

I love that this Brooks Brothers money clip is so different from your usual silver or leather money clip. It's a very classic, understated look that's perfect for him. And he loves it!!

Guys are so hard to shop for, aren't they? Earlier this morning, I found out about a great place to buy gifts for all the guys in your life. The best way I can describe Five Mile is as Rue La La for preppy guys. They have very similar online sales that last a few days with items selling for awesome discounted prices!

Currently on Five Mile:

Southern Point Sport Shirts for $44.95, normally $95

Strong Boalt Swim Trunks for $79.95, normally $145 – Perfect for spring break!

Like Rue La La, the sales are different every day and you need a membership to shop. Get yours here!

Happy shopping! 

What's your go-to place for guys' gifts?

Friday Five

1. Yikes to the fact that I've only done one real post between this post and my last Friday Five.

1.5. Because that wasn't a real fact, I'd like to share that today I was told by one of my guy friends that he "didn't know Elle Woods was celebrating St. Patrick's Day." My outfit? 

I guess he had a point.

2. Today we had executive board elections for Student Council. It was a close race, but unfortunately I did not end up being elected for my dream post of Executive VP. While I'm not particularly happy, I'm taking it all in stride, because I know that God has a great plan for my senior year. I trust that the elected Executive Board will do a great job next year. Campaigning this week and gaining so much support from the entire school was such an incredible experience and I will definitely be running for one of the Senior Class Board offices!

3. I'm obsessed with this wallet from Kate Spade.

4. I'm still in love with Hoodie Allen's second album, Crew Cuts. 

My favorite cuts are "Good Intentions" and "Fame is for A**holes." You can download the full album here.

5. I need good birthday gift ideas for my boyfriend! Any and all ideas are much appreciated!!!

Have a great St. Patrick's Day weekend!!!
