It's that time of year again and I've only just started to think about holiday gifts. To be honest, I was unsure I was even going to do a gift guide this year, but I realize I do enjoy doing them and love to share what I think are some standouts for the season at all price points. This gift guide is for the gals (hint, what I'd be happy giving or getting this year), but also I threw in some pretty glasses I may get for my husband or a hostess gift for the one who loves a good old fashioned. Some of these items have been on my radar for a while, recently have fallen for or are a favorite brand.
Here's what I would give (or get) this holiday season:
Architectural Digest at 100: I love a good coffee table book to give as a gift this time of year and one item that lasts forever. This one has caught my attention and I just ordered it. Any design lover will adore it.
SEA sateen and fleece jacket: Recently, I was in Boston at one of my favorite boutiques and tried on this adorable fleece jacket and fell in love. It's feminine, but also so cozy. The fit is nice and the print looks great on; it will elevate jean and sweats to make you look stylish and chic, even on the most lazy of days!
Rogaska avenue double old-fashioned glasses: I don't own good old-fashioned glasses and I'd like to add some to my glass collection. Plus, my husband loves to sip on a glass of Scotch in the evening. These look durable and chic.
Byredo Woods candle: I'm a big fan of Byredo--it's the only perfume I pretty much wear these days. This candle evokes a trip to the woods, which is something I think would be lovely to scent a home or office space.
Lizzie Fortunato lavender hoop earrings: These earrings caught my eye recently, love the color and brass details.
U Beauty The Barrier bioactive treatment: A good beauty product to use over the winter is a great gift. I've had this overnight cream on my radar for a while now full of ingredients to hydrate and exfoliate.
Mark & Graham Terminal 1 carry-on luggage: This luggage has been my favorite for weekend and overnight trips. It's stylish and you can totally customize it with personalization, which is such a nice touch! It comes in a variety of colors, too!
Birkenstock shearling clog: The perfect winter shoe to wear indoors or for quick errands. I used to wear these clogs without the fur back in college, but I tried them on recently and they really are so cute and comfortable. I love all the colors, but leaning towards the grey this time of year.
Augustinus Bader eye cream: A rich moisturizing eye cream to counteract all the late nights and drinking this month is essential. I'm obsessed with eye cream, and always have been. This cult-favorite brand may be the new one to try with its TFC8 technology to help with dark circles and wrinkles.
Lululemon Ribbed beanie: A colorful beanie to keep my head warm is a winter essential. I'd love this merino wool blend one that comes in a variety of colors.
TOM FORD Soleil eye shadow quad: Elevate wintry skin and eyes with this pretty eyeshadow palette of rose golds and copper tones.
Angela Caglia gold caro facial set: Every gal could use something to de-puff eyes and make you feel more awake. Just pop them in the fridge and then place over the eyes.
Carolina Amato cashmere texting gloves: Soft and warm gloves perfect for winter outings. Plus, you can text your friends while wearing them!
