Anything is better when it is tied up in a bow. It's a simple truth. A gift adorned in wrapping paper? Top with a bow! Shoe laces? Tie them in a bow and you remove a tripping hazard! A ribbon at the end of your braid? A bow is exactly what's needed!

It stands to reason, then, that shirts too would benefit from a little bow action. It's crazy how a long piece of fabric or ribbon can transform the whole style of a clothing item when looped into a bow, but it's so true. A plain white blouse is just that until you add a bow at the neck!

Because I love all things girly and feminine, bows are a staple styling trick of mine. It shouldn't come as much as a surprise for you to learn that this pink blouse I'm wearing was the must-have piece (in my mind, anyway) from Atlantic Pacific's collaboration with Nordstrom. I HAD to have it!

Full disclosure, this post is mostly for the friends and family members who have been constantly asking me, "Hey, Lindsey, what do you want for Christmas?" And not to complain about the most first world of problems, but since I get a ton of free makeup and clothing for my job, it is really hard to think of things that I really want to add to my list.

This year, I'm turning to my favorite things that I'll never get enough of: sweaters from Urban Outfitters, Glossier's makeup, Reformation dresses, and dainty jewelry. Nothing crazy, just Lindsey classics that I know I'll love.

There are A LOT of Christmas movies out there. I mean a lot. And if you've ever tuned in to the Hallmark Channel this time of year and found yourself unable to recall the holiday-themed cheeseball of a movie you literally just watched, you know that a lot of Christmas movies are complete and utter trash. That's why I did the hard work for you and watched a bunch of them on Netflix; to help you prioritize what to watch and what to skip!
