My husband Craig is not a guy who likes to buy things for himself. So in the weeks leading up to a gift giving occasion, I go into detective mode, picking up subtle hints and clues to put together his wish list of items.
The past few weeks I’ve been in sleuth mode, even going so far as to check out what he’s viewing on Amazon. If you haven’t tried that yet, it’s a great way to get ideas! Not that I’m encouraging snooping or anything. 🙂
Here’s my short list of Father’s Day gift ideas that Craig has on his radar that would be sure to please any dad on your list.
My husband is addicted to watches. He loves big watches like this one and this one. But since he already has both of those, I’m going with something a bit sleeker and dressier this time.
Every guy likes to smell good and most of them won’t buy cologne for themselves. It’s our wifely duty to make sure that they get a great smelling cologne.
A GoPro Camcorder is the most hinted for item on Craig’s Father’s Day wishlist. I’m not exactly sure what he plans to do with it but I have some ideas…like, strap it to the dog’s head to see what she does while we’re gone.
It’s Your Turn: What’s on your hubby’s wish list this Father’s Day?
$200 GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY

The Pretty Fix is a new monthly feature at Get Your Pretty On that features my top five picks for the month that you can shop for on your own to stay in style at a price you’ll love. The idea for it was born out of frustration that some of you have had with other monthly box services that you feel “miss the mark” or are too pricey.
Each month, the Pretty Fix includes five affordable items that I personally recommend to stay on trend.
Want to know the best part? You can buy everything in the monthly fix for under $100!
Consider me your budget-minded personal shopper. Here’s your June Pretty Fix.
Graphic t-shirts are not just for teens. There are plenty of grown up versions to add to your summer collection. If you’re bored with your typical t-shirt, pair one of these up with shorts to add interest to your outfit.
Every summer I add a new pair of metallic sandals to my collection because they go with everything. This year, my 16 year-old daughter and I are both wearing this pair of embellished sandals with a cork foot bed.
If you liked the items in this month’s Pretty Fix, then you’re going to love the outfits in the Summer 2015 GYPO Style Challenge. We’ll be styling these shopping list items and many more in our 21 days of mix and match summer outfits. Registration closes tomorrow night when the summer trends shopping list goes out. This challenge also includes a 14 piece/10 day vacation packing list. Sign up HERE so you don’t miss out!

Do you subscribe to one of those personal styling monthly box services? I can’t speak from experience because I’ve never tried one, but the feedback I’ve gotten from many of you is that often times they totally “miss the mark”. You’ve told me what you really want is budget friendly pieces to add to your wardrobe and keep you on trend without having to ship them back if they don’t work out.
One of you brilliant readers asked me to come up with a list of five affordable items that I’d personally recommend each month. And so the idea for the Pretty Fix was born.

Fedoras are still in but the floppy hat is having it’s moment. I just picked one up for our upcoming summer beach vacation. The wider brim provides more sun protection.
Don’t let white scare you. A basic white sundress will be your new go-to for summer. You can dress it up with wedges or pair it with flip flops for a day at the beach. The versatility is amazing. Look with one with eyelet details to be totally on-trend.
Studs in a generous size are a no-fuss way to accessorize your summer outfits. In coral or mint, you’ll be pairing these with everything all summer long.
I recently had the privilege of sitting down for an interview with Kristen Hewitt, Fox Sports reporter and creator of the blog Mommy in Sports as part of The Mom Interviews series sponsored by LifetimeMothers.com.

Registration for the Winter/Holiday Style Me Pretty Challenge is open through Thursday. Sign up now for the lowest rate and get your winter wardrobe shopping list plus 21 days of cozy outfits and dressy holiday party looks. Get more info and sign up HERE.
Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal around here. We host every year and have extended family over for a feast that takes days to create. Needless to say, it’s a lot of work but totally worth it too. My parents spend six months of the year in Texas beginning each October so Thanksgiving is the kick off of many family festivities that we enjoy while they’re here.
This year, I’ll be roasting two turkeys and baking six pumpkin pies, in addition to making our traditional dressing and pitchers of cranberry spritzers. My sisters usually handle the rest of the sides while my husband and brothers-in-law will be readying the couch for some all-day football watching.
I feel incredibly blessed to be able to share this day with my family. We have so much to be thankful for – another year of good health and togetherness being first and foremost.
My Thanksgiving Day outfit this year comes courtesy of Lucky Brand. I love to be comfortable yet look effortlessly put-together when I host dinners at our home. To me, this outfit achieves that goal perfectly. The stretch corduroy jeans are comfortable and forgiving, while the red ochre color screams fall. This cream colored Tuxedo Top in Nigori is incredibly versatile and one of my new favorite pieces in my wardrobe. But the pattern and colors of the diamond Ikat printed scarf are my favorite; it’s just festive enough and brings the whole outfit together.
I’ll be combining these pieces in other outfits throughout the rest of fall and winter. These cords come in five different colors; I’d love to add a few more pairs to my collection.
It’s Your Turn: What’s your Lucky Brand winter/holiday wardrobe must-have? Tell me in the comments and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $100 Lucky Brand gift card! Visit the Lucky Brand website and follow on Twitter.

I am so glad I was part of the Fall 2019 Style Challenge. It gave me confidence and so many great outfitt ideas. The ladies in the group were very supportive and I will defintetly be doing another challenge in the future.

I’ve been participating in the GYPO Style Challenges for three years now and I’ve loved it. I’ve always loved clothes, but I didn’t know how to put outfits together. My closet is now full of mix-and-match outfits, I have learned how to dress myself, and there is no more stress in figuring out to wear. The private FB group is full of wonderful ladies that build each other up. It’s so fun and is seriously the best group on FB.

Get Your Pretty On has changed my life, seriously. I have always chased what is trendy but found from season to season, that things go out of style and I was wasting money on items that I would only end up wearing a few times. GYPO has enabled me to simplify my closet, helps me make smarter purchasing decisions, and I feel so put together and confident using the outfit formulas that are provided. This program is a GAME CHANGER. I've been following GYPO for a few years now and my only regret is not jumping on board sooner.
Michelle Kline November 20, 2019
Great community of ladies, helping each other look stylish, without breaking the bank, and using much of what you already own.
Chosen Faith November 19, 2019
GYPO challenges have been one of the best things I have done! It had taught me so much more than just creating a closet of clothes that I love but also to have confidence in myself, how to pick and choose colors that work for me instead of against, and had given a wonderful community of Pretties who are so special.
Maraline Freeman October 16, 2019
I love GYPO!!! I finally feel put together and stylish! The shopping lists and outfit combinations make shopping and getting dressed effortless.
