Pantone Color of the Year 2016 | Rose Quartz + Serenity

It's official! Yesterday, Pantone announced the color of the year, with a twist! Yep, this year we get 2 colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity.

The colors look beautiful together, like a beautiful, soft sunset. I'm super excited to start seeing clothing, decor and makeup products begin to follow these colors trends. In the meantime, here are some of my current favorite pieces you can buy or you may already have laying around to celebrate the color(s) of the year.

DIY Christmas Decor!

Now that Thanksgiving has past, I'm in full blown Christmas mode! This is my second winter living out of my parents home, so it's my second time decorating for the holidays. Last year's decor was pretty basic as we had just moved in and were more concerned with decorating our place in general, so I knew this year I wanted to get some additional Christmas decorations and go more "all out."

Our space is pretty small, so I knew I only needed a few additions. I was determined to DIY something and when browsing some decor websites I stumbled upon a Christmas-themed shadow box I knew I could recreate. Keep on reading to see how I made this extremely easy & quick (literally 3 mins) DIY!

Who Am I? About Me Tag!

Hey guys! It's now been a few weeks of me "actively" posting on Life Across the Hudson, so I thought it was time to introduce myself! I found this tag somewhere on the internet and decided to fill it out rather than rambling about my life :) Keep reading to find out a little more about me!

Gift Ideas for Him | $100, $50, $25 & UNDER

Here's post two in my Gift Ideas series for this years holiday season! As mentioned in my Gift Ideas for Her post, I really like to get gifts that are meaningful, but sometimes you need that little bit of inspiration to figure out what that is.

I've always found choosing gifts for the guys in my life has been harder than for my girls. Maybe it's because they guys in my life are simple and don't need much, but I just think guys in general "need" less than us girls ;)

This list is perfect for your brother, boyfriend, dad, BFF and really any guy in your life. Keep on reading to find out my picks ranging from $10-$99 for 2015!
