Holiday Gift Guide!


I originally entitled this my "holiday wish list," which indeed it is, but it's more of my "holiday/birthday/next few months wish/things I'll probably end up buying myself list." Basically, these are some things I've been absolutely loving lately, so if you're looking for the perfect gift for your favorite fashion-fueled gal pal, here are some of my favorite fancies!

1. A unique monogram pendant! - Bauble Bar ($115)
I'm not a major fan of the way my monogrammed initials look traditionally, but I think this cursive monogram is like your own little personalized piece of art!

2. A chunky cowl scarf! - deroucheau ($45) & LuLu & Loie ($50) 
If you follow me on Pinterest, you know I have been completely obsessed with majorly oversized knits! Now that Mother Nature has finally graced Southern California with winter temperatures, I can actually get away with wearing one, and both of these awesome etsy shops make theirs in a rainbow of colors!

3. A timeless pair of flats! - House of Harlow 1960 ($195) & Tory Burch ($195)
Kye Loafer, meet Reva Flat. Current obsession, meet long-time obsession. I am so in love with both of these flats. I think they are both super classic in their own ways, depending on your taste and style. My taste and style is pretty eclectic, so I definitely think there's room for both of these beauties in my wardrobe.

4. Hunter wellies! - Hunter ($125)
Another Pinterest obsession, I'm basically desperate for a pair of Hunter rain boots. Yes, I'm aware that we get very little rain here, but I've heard these boots described as "life-changing," so something tells me that I could totally incorporate them into everyday, typical boot wear. There are even designated Hunter welly socks to spruce up an already fabulous pair. (I'll take a cable-knit pair, thank you very much!)

5. A cute, classic keychain! - Dsigns ($30)
Am I the only one who had about a thousand keychains when I was in middle school? I had such an assortment hanging from my backpack that it's likely my collection weighed more than anything I had inside. Since then, I've settled down a bit - I actually only have 1 now - a simple Coach initial "D" that I got as a college graduation gift. I think one of these bright, adorable leather tassels would be its perfect compliment!

6. A precious iPhone case! - Creative Balorina ($52) & Rebecca Minkoff $38
I recently bit the bullet and joined the iPhone Nation. I was an avid BlackBerry user for about 3 years, but its constantly dying battery sent me willingly flying into the arms of Apple. I must admit, though it was a major splurge, it was so worth it! I wish I'd made the switch years ago! I have a perfectly simple purple case right now, but something bright and fun be a cheerful addition to this gadget that rarely leaves my hands. iPhone cases seem to be rather pricey, but I guess for something that you use on a daily (okay okay, hourly... okay okay, every 5 minutes...) basis is worth it!

7. The "IT" sweater! - Madewell ($85)
Back to Pinterest again, this sweater has made its way through every users pin boards a few million times, and each time, I want it more! It's definitely a statement piece, but super versatile and SUPER fun! Let's all invest in this sweet angora number, stat!
