Holiday Gift Guide

Camera// Compact// Lipstick// Sunglasses// Satchel// Notebook// Striped Pen// Business Card Holder// Nail Polish// Pumps

I’ve seen a plethora of gift guides out there for just about everyone…even pets…but where are the gift guides for us fashion bloggers??  I have a sneaking suspicion that the men in our lives could use a few helpful hints when it comes to purchasing a stylish and functional gift!  So, if your man needs a gentle nudge in the right direction, I’ve compiled a list of must have items for every fashion blogger.  And no need to worry…I scoped out some pretty amazing deals so you can still afford that tropical getaway you’ve been dreaming about…it looks like it’s going to be a looong winter!

1. Camera:  A quality camera doesn’t have to break the bank.  What I love about this version is that it’s small enough to fit in your purse so you will always have it on hand to capture your ootd.

2. Compact:  I never leave home without my handy compact for a quick glance…after all, lettuce between your teeth is never chic!

3. Nude Lipstick: A universally flattering shade, nude is classic, subtle and timeless. …and always a safe choice.

4. Over-sized Sunglasses:  Every blogger knows a fabulous pair of shades instantly elevates any look.  I never leave home without mine.

5. Statement Bag:  While I’m coveting this one, once I beam back down to Earth I know this affordable alternative is an ideal option.  I love the bold color because I wear a lot of black so it breaks it up and adds a little pizzazz to any ensemble.

6. Notebook: A notebook is a must for jotting down ideas on the go.  Smythson is such a classic and makes a lovely gift.

7. Striped Pen:  Even when you’re not feeling inspired, these playful stripes are sure to lift your spirits and hopefully, help to cure your writer’s block!

8. Business Card Holder:  I finally got around to printing business cards (#nojudgement) so logically, the next step will have to be purchasing a sleek case like this.  I love the personalized touch, don’t you?

9. Nude Nail Polish:  I rarely have time for a manicure at the salon so I rely on a few go-to shades I can apply myself, especially when I want to look polished and pulled together.

10. Gray Pumps:  An elegant pointy toe pump is a staple in any fashion blogger’s closet.  But, I love this gray suede version for winter.  It’s so versatile and flattering, I can think of a million ways I could style these!

11.  Starbucks Gift Card:  I don’t know about you but between chasing after four kiddos and blogging full time, sleep is basically an after thought.  So, copious amounts of caffeine are definitely what get me through the day!
