With Christmas exactly a week away (what?!) I’ve been all in on the season. Listening to carols non-stop, wrapping presents, and drinking hot cocoa by the fire. (It’s so fun to do in our new house with the kiddos!) And, yes, purchasing a few too many presents. #GuiltyAsCharged
Here’s usually how my holiday season goes in terms of budget.
Start of the season: “I have a strict budget this year and I’m sticking. to. it.“
Middle of the season: “I’ve done a really great job at meeting my budget…but I still have some presents left. I’ll just go a *little* over.”
End of the season: “One for you…and you….and you…and you! JUST CALL ME SAAAANTA!”
…I can’t help myself! Every time I go to the store or browse online, I find something that I just know a special someone will love. I imagine their smile while opening their present, and end up thinking, “Ohhh what’s one more?!” as I press “Purchase.”
In case you’re in my camp of still snagging extra items for people on your list, I thought I would share a few of my favorite things as of late. If you order soon, you still have time for them to be shipped before the holiday! These are the items I’ve been wearing non-stop, and ones that would be amazing presents for any woman on your list. Or, let’s be honest, they’re great for you to consider for your own closet as well. (Don’t forget to treat yourself this season, too!)
A Few Of My Favorite Things Right Now
- Levi’s Sherpa Jacket – In terms of winter style, “teddy jackets” are some of the hottest trends right now. (Shop some great finds here if you’re on the hunt!) For good reason, too! This is one of the most comfortable jackets ever, and it’s surprisingly warm in cold weather yet can easily be worn in the fall/spring. I love the fit and how it brings an added style element to an outfit.
- Rebecca Minkoff Jaiden Studded Boots – Another hot trend right now is combat boots! Because they have more of a rough, masculine feel, I love styling them with feminine pairings for a very “fashion” look. Or they’re also great with simple jeans, as pictured here, because they bring a great pop of personality. I love Rebecca Monkoff’s designs, especially her shoes. They always have *just* the right amount of edge. Swing by this link to browse more of her designs.
- J.Crew Button Down Shirts – These button downs are some of the most versatile that I own! I’ve worn them with skirts and pants…sequins and jeans….on their own and layered…they’re great with everything.
- Hudson Skinny Jeans – So comfy, so flattering. Lots of different colors to choose from. I’ve a “jeans and t-shirt” girl at heart and these just work.
- Pops of Gold – You’ve seen this crescent necklace so many times here; it’s one of my favorites and I wear it all the time! If you’re on the hunt for similar items to gift, one of my favorite jewelry brands is Gorjana — they may great pieces that look great layered or on their own. This isn’t pictured here, but I also recently purchased this star necklace, and it’s really fun when paired with the crescent necklace!
Also, making a side note *PSA* to all who love some fabulous online shopping! Did you know that Shopbop now has an Amazon shop?! I’m officially bookmarking this link as one of my daily go-to’s — I love me some Amazon shopping because we’re Prime members, and you really can’t beat the ease/experience of their free shipping!
