Chuck is taking over the blog today! He is sharing some fun dog gifts (for humans and pups) plus some fun Frenchie items. 

He's loving all of these fun Frenchie gifts for humans. Who doesn't need a cute little French Bulldog notebook, book ends, or maybe a sleeping mask. These are great gift for any Frenchie owner or fan. I picked up this adorable dog photo holder from Kohls recently and it is darling. The perfect little desk accessory for your office. 

Pajamas are a great gift for humans and pets alike. I'm obsessed with this all I want for Christmas is dogs set. I picked it up from Target and it is soooo soft. Then I had to include this pair of pink Frenchie pajama pants from J. Crew Factory. I bought them maybe 1-2 years ago and I love them. Super cozy flannel and perfect for lounging around. For the dogs you can pink up a fun onsie style pajama from Nordstrom or get matching pjs for the whole family at Target! 

Chuck's favorite winter essential is his Barbour dog coat. He is always sporting this once the weather gets cold. It's not only stylish but warm! This would make a great gift for any pup on your list. Chuck loves getting new collars so he included a fun Mickey style then a more neutral option as well. Collars are a fun affordable stocking stuffer great for your pup. 

Chuck and myself are pumped for the Snoopy pop up at Nordstrom! There are a ton of fun dog gifts available including this fun Snoopy sweatshirt. You can shop it online or in store. 

Do you have a dog? Let me know their name and breed in the comments! I hope you all enjoyed Chuck's top gift picks of the season.

Amazon is a great resource for gifts! I mean who doesn't love free 1 day shipping? Where are all of my last minute shoppers at because Amazon is probably going to be a huge help for you! You can pretty much buy anything on Amazon now so it can be your non-stop resource for all of your holiday shopping. 

Today, I've pulled together some fun gifts that are all available on Amazon Prime. These are all pretty random I have to say. But, I think any of them would make great gifts! I mean an avocado blanket, pineapple shaped diffuser, or a fun tech gift? You can get any type of person checked off your list with a little Amazon shopping. The best part is most of these gifts are under $100 so they are budget friendly as well. 

Will you be doing any holiday shopping on Amazon? Let me know in the comments!

Whenever I travel people always ask where I am from. When I say Chicago 75% of the time they say how could you live there?? It's so cold! Well my answer is I honestly don't know anything else. I've lived in the Chicago suburbs my entire life then went to college in Iowa which is the same climate. It's all about what you know I guess! Since I've lived here for quite some time I've gotten the hang of surviving the cold winters, well as best as one can. Today, I'm going over some of my go-to coats of the season and some cold weather accessories that are essential to living in the Midwest! 

Whether you already live in the Midwest, planning a visit, or moving to the area I hope you can find some cold weather pieces to help you survive the season... 

WATERPROOF JACKET | A heavy waterproof jacket is a must in the Midwest. This Bute jacket is my all time favorite jacket! It is stylish, warm, and waterproof. With a faux vest, good pockets, and a fun hood this jacket is a winner. Normally I wear this jacket into negative degrees. That is when I'll pull out my parka. But, this jacket lasts me a good chunk of the winter season!

PUFFER | I love a good puffer coat. Thanks to working for an outerwear based company I have many. Honestly Barbour puffer coats are underrated! This maroon style (pictured above) has been my favorite this season. It's super cute and has a little bit of style to it. Plus it is super comfy, it feels like I am wrapped up in a sleeping bag. Which, I think is what everyone wants to be honest. 

PARKA | At a certain point in the winter everyone from the Midwest pulls out their black parka and calls it quits. Honestly when it feels like -60 you have to wear something heavy duty. I opt for my black North Face parka I have had since college. They are an investment but they really hold up! Plus they are usually waterproof which helps protect you from any snow, freezing rain, hail, you name it! 

WAX JACKET | Barbour wax jackets are a great piece to have during the early winter months. You can add a zip in liner to add extra warmth or layer with a sweater. The wax fabric acts as a natural tech fabric that blocks the wind. Which if you've ever met someone from the Midwest they have probably said, "It wouldn't be bad without the wind!". A wax jacket helps with that. 

CHUNKY SCARF | There is nothing better then wrapping yourself up in a chunky fuzzy scarf. I've linked a few of my favorites at the bottom of this post. Being from the Midwest I have quite the extensive scarf collection, but I love a good boucle scarf. You can wear them as a wrap or with your coat. 

MITTENS | I picked up these super cute faux fur mittens on a trip to Minneapolis this fall! I am so pumped to wear them this winter. I love a cute pair of mittens to survive the cold. These are especially great because you can roll them down to text or use your fingers if needed. If I'm not wearing mittens I am honestly wearing $5 mittens from Target. No shame! Anything will do the trick as long as your hands are covered.  

BEAN BOOTS | I wear my Bean Boots all fall and winter. They are great for when the ground is wet or snowy. Plus they are a little more stylish than your average snow boot. Sorel boots are also known to be great in the snow! I'm still trying to pick out what pair I want to test out this winter so stay tuned. 

UGGS | As basic as Uggs are they are honestly an essential in the Midwest. No shame! I wear my Uggs during the winter to run errands or go for a casual meal. Or honestly when I am just cold. If you have an Ugg outlet near you be sure to check it out for good deals! Nordstrom Rack has always had some good Ugg deals this season. 

There you have it! Those are my winter essentials to survive the Midwest winter. From coats to cold weather accessories these are all my go-to items to survive Chicago.
