Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great day and staying healthy + safe! <3

I’m so excited to share these Easter Basket ideas for littles with you all! I hope this post puts a smile on your face and gets you and your littles looking forward to something while we’re all stuck in our homes! <3

The magic is back in holidays with a little one at home! Chase and I have had so much fun preparing for each and every one knowing it’s Chloés first! Easter was one of my favorite holidays growing up and still is to this day! We will be celebrating Easter in the Allen household quarantined or not, and I hope you all will too!

For Chloés Easter basket we decided to go with an actual storage basket! She can’t walk/egg hunt on her own, and we are lacking toy + blanket storage so getting a storage basket was a no brainer + saved us some dough! (I’ve linked some baskets we love above from target!) We’ll be filling her basket up with these beautiful Ballerina dolls, a rattle, a crown, baby luggage, and pom blanket from Alimrose! Alimrose is one of the cutest & classiest shops for littles I’ve found since having Chloé! They have a darling selection of dolls + bunnies right now too! I highly recommend checking them out if a “Kate Middleton” Easter is what you’re going for! Your Prince/Princess will love their shop too!

The Bunny will also be leaving books, an Easter outfit, stuffies, little toys, eggs, and some baby friendly treats! These two books above are some of our favorites! The “Mommy Mommy” book is Chloés absolute favorite and I’m not mad about it! (; She squeals when she sees it! YOU NEED IT! <3 Some of the toys, stuffies, and outfit picks we’ve made for the basket I’ve linked below! Simply click on a picture to shop an item! One of our favorite items for an Easter basket that isn’t photographed is a bubble machine/bubble gun! We got ours for $4 and it’s a big hit in our house! (The biggest!) Another big hit in our house right now are these eggs! We got a pack of 47 for $3 and Chloé loves playing with them! 10/10 would recommend letting your littles play with the eggs early! Affordable entertainer right here! <3

Growing up the Easter bunny used to hide our Easter baskets and we’d have to search from them around the house with the help of a few clues! I loved this growing up and can’t wait to do this for Chloé! What are Easter traditions OR Easter basket must haves for you?! Leave a comment below, I would love to know! And thank you for stopping by! Love you all! xx Stay safe out there during this crazy time!

Black Friday is HERE and I’m doing all of my shopping online at Nordstrom! Nordstrom is one of my favorite one stop shops for the entire family, you simply can’t go wrong with Nordstrom! From the hottest styles of the season, to the best in tech and beauty, Nordstrom is hard to beat! (Not to mention, free shipping, their in store/same day pick up, incredible return policy, and hot Black Friday deals!) 

I wanted to share the things I’ve been shopping for family, friends, and myself of course! (You know I can’t turn down a good Nordstrom sale! With up to 60% off select items.. I’m in heaven!) <3

My women’s picks from top to bottom from left to right are;

1.  Rails LA flannel! I love a good plaid shirt, especially this time of year!!!! Rails LA makes the softest, most beautiful flannels! I won’t buy anything else! 

2. LaMer moisturizer. If you’re not sold on this price, go to Nordstrom and ask for a sample! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! Huge game changer for your skin! One of my all time favorite products! 

3.  Uggs! They’re the most comfortable + warm shoe I own! I get a new pair every Christmas and think anybody would be stoked opening these comfy shoes on Christmas morning! Uggs are perfect for all ages! <3 

4.  Flower Bomb perfume! This is my go to for date night! It’s both me and Chases favorite scent by a landslide! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn this and been stopped in my tracks from by passers asking what perfume I’m wearing.. it’s THAT GOOD PPL!

5. A robe! Chase got me a robe last year for Christmas and I have loved and used it nearly every day since! This one comes in pink, blue, and grey, and the price is unbeatable!  

6. Another flannel from Rails LA! I just can’t get enough of these puppies!  

7. Nude lip kit from Mac! Perfect for your beauty babe or anyone who might want to subtly spice up their holiday look! Nude lips are where it’s at right now, and I don’t think they’re going anywhere anytime soon! This is a perfect gift with an even more perfect price!  

8. T3 Micro Whirl Trio! This is the curling wand I use for my hair every single day! Not only is it sleek and beautiful, but it works like a charm and holds curls all day! This is a must have item for me, and it should be for you too considering it’s on sale for Black Friday! 

9. Dior lip glow! (Pictured above with my favorite things!) This is a tinted lip balm that’s perfectly pink and goes smooth onto the lips! Great color and super hydrating! I use this stuff daily! (It also comes in multiple colors!)

For the men in our lives I have some good picks too! All approved by Chase + on his wish list! 

1. Movado watch! Bold, sleek, and stunning. A perfect piece for any man this holiday! And you can’t beat the price tag on it either! A STEAL!

2. Nike hoodie. Comes in black + green! Classic and cozy at its finest! (And you know it looks good on the fellas!)

3. Black Theory shirt. Theory is a favorite brand of ours! They’re clothing line is luxurious and timeless. You will never wear out of a shirt like this, nor will it go out of style! A perfect staple that every man should have in his closet! 

4. Billabong pullover! Keep warm + stylish this season guys! Chase loves the camo pocket detail!

5. Acqua Di Gio cologne! This is in both Chase & my top 3 scents for guys! You simply can’t beat a deal on one of the finest colognes out there! 

6. Nordstrom Gift Card!!!! Not only for the men, but anyone in your life who you aren’t quite sure what to get OR does better gift picking themselves! I’ve already purchased a handful of these this morning! You can’t go wrong with gift cards, ESPECIALLY from NORDSTROM!

Ciao from Switzerland!.... Just kidding! <3 Utah just decided to have a beautiful lil snowfall followed by some sunshine and blue skies!

I know what you’re thinking, I’m crazy for hanging around in the snowy mouantians! But I needed to try out this beautiful coat that I bought from Vici Collection! A coat this beautiful deserves to be taken out and used, so I made an afternoon especially for it!

While in the mountains, I decided to put this coat to the test and the results are as follows; 10/10 on function, fashion, and fuzz factor! (Srsly, so comfy.) Definitely a winner in my book! 

Vici Collection has a huge selection of coats right now, and I really think you should check them out! (They’re so affordable guys, it blows my mind.) Here is one of my favorites that they have online right now!  

Wishing you all the best day! xx P.s. Christmas is almost here!.. Just in case you forgot! (; Love you all!

Snow days on repeat thanks to Vici Collection! They sure know how to keep a girl warm and fashionable during the winter season! 

This denim jacket is one of my favorite pieces I've ever purchased from Vici! It has the faux fur collar (which is currently trending) and I swear it helps keep me extra warm! But, the best part is it's only $48.00 if you enter discount code "BRIT20" at checkout! 

Happy Thursday loves! And happy almost weekend! xx

Happy Monday from me & mine to you & yours! Today is a special Monday!.. A very special, very busy Monday! We’re exactly TWO weeks away from Christmas and today is the LAST day to order Christmas presents online without having to “rush ship” your packages! 

Ladies and Gents, I urge you to finish up your shopping tonight! Not only will it save you some dough, but it will make your holiday season less of a stress!  

If you’re still stuck and don’t know what to get, (or if you’ve been slacking like I have) might I suggest popping over to Lulus for some Christmas shopping?! They have everything from home decor,  to tech accessories, to makeup, to clothes! Truly a one stop shop with some of the cutest things around! (Like my outfit!) I’m wearing Lulus head to toe, I absolutely adore their shop!

Happy December from us to YOU! <3 December is our favorite month of the year! Between the snow, the holidays, family time, and our Wedding anniversary, December wins us over! (Side note, it’s our 2 year tomorrow!) 

We’re celebrating the holidays & our love for one another this year with Shane Co! We both love jewelry, and Shane Co has the most incredible selection! For our two year anniversary & Christmas, we decided Brits wedding ring needed an upgrade! (And when we say upgrade, we mean UPGRADE!) We both loved this ring and feel it represents our love perfectly! We also love the simplicity of this gold bar necklace! Simple yet stunning, just how we like it!  

If you’re having a hard time coming up with some good Christmas gifts this year, we gotchu covered! Go big or go home with a #BigLittleGift from Shane Co! We promise it will not disappoint! Check them out online or stop into your local store!

GOOD MARNIN' PPL! <3  

This post is for all of you SLACKERS who are still in need of getting some gifts!  (No worries, we're not judging! We still have tons of gifts we gotta get ourselves!) 

We wanted to share our top 5 gifts to give! (And to us they are traditional! We give these to eachother every year without fail!) We hope you enjoy! xx 

1. Pa-Jammie-Jams. C & I both LOVE our pj's, especially during the holidays! It's been a tradition in both of our families to give pajamas each Christmas! We always open these on Christmas Eve which makes this gift extra fun! (We got ours from Splendid LA & we LOVE them! Splendid has the coziest/cutest pajama selects!) 

2. Perfume/Cologne. You can't ever go wrong with a new scent! You can purchase one that you know they already love, or shop our scents! Chases favorite colognes are L Homme by YSL, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, and Fierce by Abercrombie! Mine are Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf, Candy by Prada, and Chance by Chanel! (The purple one!) We got our scents above from Ice.Com! They have just about every scent ever made so it's an easy one stop shop! 

3. Sweats + Socks. It's also a tradition in my family that on Christmas day you open a pair of sweats!  (my dad started this and it's one of my favorite gifts!) If you need any suggestions check out This Post featuring a bunch of cute comfies/sweats for both ladies & gents! (We recommend anything Lulu, Nike, or Adidas!)

4. Headphones. Beats, Bose, Skull Candy. All three of these brands vibe with everyone! (We're beats people, our nephews are skull candy, and our parents are bose.) Hopefully that helps a bit! The preference & prices are fitting for each age group!

5. Jewelry. Like my new Band above! I got it from Ice.Com and love Everything on their website! They have tons of selects for men & women! Watches, bracelets, rings, the works! (We like this because it's more of an intimate gift! <3)

There's also a post on my old website (BritAndrus.Com) that has a really unique way on how to GIVE gifts! You can check that out here!  

We hope this post has helped those of you who aren't quite finished shopping yet! <3 Happy almost holidays loves! Thanks for stopping by! xx
