it's been particularly grey and dreary and freezing cold these past few days, so i'm cheering myself up by putting together more fun and colorful gift guides, whee!
1. clare vivier foldover clutch - a simple zip clutch that doubles as a pouch for your everyday bag, travel compartment, makeup bag, and more!
2. Diana Vreeland "The Eye Has to Travel" - inspiration from a veritable syle icon
3. dieppa restrepo leopard calis - another favorite classic with a twist - this fun leopard lace-up is just the thing for a wintry monochromatic outfit.
4. Fresh sugar lip duo - the best lip balm, in a cute trial size duo - perfect for gifting or for travel
5. Steven Alan little red bag - also love the jcrew version. everyone should have an LRB. it's like red lipstick, only easier to wear!
6. j.crew cashmere lined leather gloves - love the fuschia color especially. leather + cashmere = a win win winter
7. mini keychain wallet - super duper useful and chic. i like the bright colors because it makes fishing for your keys much easier in the depths of your bag. it's perfect for metrocards and ID, and can double as your going-out wallet too!
8. furry coin pouch - because a little zebra print makes digging for change that much more fun :)
9. jcrew statement bangles - i'm really into a great statement costume piece to go with day or night looks this season. these are so lovely, and at a great price.
10. blanket jewelry roll - it's like a Pendleton mini blanket for your jewelry! a travel jewelry roll (tuck in your baubles and go) is both essential and stylish.
how is your holiday prep going? will you be traveling anywhere?
I really do love the idea of brightly colored gloves. I own a pair of firetruck red ones myself. They're such a fun and functional way to add a pop of color to a dreary winter outfit. The fuschia is lovely. Bright purple or a nice, deep green would be beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteI love those Lulu Frost bangles. So glamorous but easy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you need some perfect in leopard print, they've been popping up in your gift lists! :)
@dontaskmetosmile yes! i am all about adding some hot pink or red or purple to my wardrobe. i am kicking myself for not bringing my gloves with me :P
ReplyDelete@lin i know, right? they're on sale right now on jcrew too. i do need some leopard in my life this season. it's pretty much a neutral IMO ;)
ReplyDeleteI have become such a huge fan of the Fresh tinted lip balms! My favorite is the "passion" tint.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Dieppas, but I'm not sure I could pull them off. I'm sure you could!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Fresh Sugar lip balm recommendation in an earlier post. I haven't been using them regularly but I like them so far. Have you seen the mini trio? I actually bought that instead of the duo b/c it was only $5.50 more. I had my doubts about the Honey shade but it's actually a really nice neutral.
ReplyDelete@jennifer ooh! they just keep making new versions - so glad i stocked up on a few and brought them with me to China.
ReplyDelete@Garderoben you could! just remember, leopard is a neutral ;)
ReplyDelete@Grace ooh thanks for letting me know - that sounds like a lovely gift for yourself and a bff :)
