Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

 

       We know that Christmas is not all about the receiving and gifting of physical gifts but the sharing of love and kindness and joy. Physical gifts can be inevitable sometimes and, on those occasions, it is not the gift that matters the most but the thought behind the giving of the gift. If you are still in need of a shopping guide, last minute, this post is for you.

December Shopping Guide

              

                                  One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven

            

       It's the last month of the year and this means gift giving season. As always, there is always something I want every season and these pretty little things would be appreciated by any lady on your Christmas shopping list. If you do not want the same exact things on the list, just think of it as a shopping guide; think earrings or jewelry for daughters, nieces, girlfriends or Mom or a pair of trendy heels for yourself. Happy viewing, happy shopping.

Summer Wish List Guide: TWO

One - Lace dress / Two - Large straw hat / Three - Print sacrf / Four - Beach Tote / Five - Canvas Tote / Six - Straw Sandals / Seven - Slides with hardware

      

    This here, is another wish list for the summer different from the one previously posted here. This second wish list is more like an outfit inspiration for a Getaway or for a vacation. Everything on this list is pretty affordable too. I have always admired the Saint Laurent River Gauche tote but the price is just too steep and since it is such a trendy bag, I didn't think it is worth the investment. In a few years, it would be out of the scene and we would be on to something else. 

Summer Wish List Guide: ONE

 

                            One / Two / Three/ Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight

        Are you doing some spring cleaning yet? If you live in an area where you experience four seasons; winter, spring, summer and fall, you know this chore is inevitable every year. If you do not know, spring cleaning is the process of re-organizing your closet and putting away pieces or items from the current season that are no longer needed while you incorporate pieces from the upcoming season. Whatever pieces you add to your closet at this time should be able to keep you stylish and warm and cozy at the same time and it is usually regarded to as transitional dressing.

Spring Wish List Guide

 

     Spring is still a few weeks ago but it's not too early for some closet spring cleaning and wish list. It's time to start doing some closet organizing. For me, knit dresses are a top priority to have for the spring season. I love this tan color piece from H&M and this sleeveless piece here from Lulus. If you do not yet own white color boots and you need an affordable pair that does not look cheap, check out this sand color boots from Misguided. 

Gifts for the Home

      

           Every one of us need some new items here and there in our homes at this point since most of us are spending a lot of time at home. On this list, you will find gift ideas that are useful and relevant for everyone on your list. There are organizational trays that look very chic and marble and gold pencil holder/cup for the college students or friends that work from home. You can also gift house hold items like napkins and throws or this faux leather file holder.  You can also gift this beautiful table globe to friends with a home office and think of gifting plants  or planters to friends who love to garden or are plant enthusiasts. Click on the links below to see the details on all the options. Happy viewing, happy shopping.

Winter Wish List

 

             Дt this time, my fashion wish lists and shopping guides are just mainly for entertainment and not meant to be considered seriously unless you really, really want to indulge because to be honest; who needs another pair of shoes or another bag or another jacket even if it is a leather jacket? We all know by now that our health and friendships and relationships is (are) what we should be investing in especially at this unprecedented time in our history. So, a big disclaimer here; this list is not meant to inspire you to do more shopping but rather to entertain you as you curl up on your couch with a hot cup of cocoa enjoying time with your family or friends. Yes, you can read and browse the posts on the blog as you relax 😃 

Fall Wish List

     ᗪeep brown color is the color of Fall season this year and it is trending in beautiful hues and textures; think brown leather jackets, pleated skirts and square and pointed toe boots. Styling this color for fall would be really easy too. Browns can be styled in monochrome by mixing different hues and shades of brown and if you like you can add a subtle pop of color like cream, burgundy and orange. Browns can also be styled by pairing it with beiges and tans. My wish list for fall has combination of beige and brown pieces and my favorite item on the list is actually this off white pleated leather skirt; so classy and chic. Click on the links below to check out more about the pieces.

My Wish List for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

                       One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten

     Ꮛarlier, I shared a post on what I would love to shop from the Nordstrom anniversary sale and while I have not yet made any purchase, I would love to share these updated lists or guide(s) that I put together after perusing the site. In my previous guide, I shared some items for home décor but this guide is just for fashion pieces. Lug soled boots and square toed boots are going to be big trends this fall and so is the leather blazer. While you peruse the sale, do not forget to order your face mask; happy viewing, happy shopping. 

Nordstrom Sale Shopping Ideas

                                        One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven

     𐐥ordstrom is having its' annual sale and if you need some shopping therapy, you can check it out. I think the sale is currently open to Nordstrom or Nordy Club members who get exclusive early access before the general public. These items on my shopping guide are what I'm interested in buying at the moment and I decided to share on here as I always do 😊 Disclaimer: Please, I am not trying to turn you into a shopaholic; this blog is solely for entertainment and if you are a regular reader here, you must know that by now. 

Summer Wish List

       ਹust a few things on my summer wish list to lighten the mood during this season. I'm loving this floral maxi dress from H&M  mainly because of the beautiful print and the sleeves and it sure would make for a great lounging outfit. Other things on my list are the faux plant décor and the potting vase. Plants and gardening is (are) huge trend at the moment but if you do not have a green thumb, a faux plant is an alternative to bringing life and personality to any space. This weather resistant planter would look beautiful indoors or outdoors. The pink Badgley Mischka pumps is an affordable dupe to the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps which would make for great party shoes. We might not be celebrating or going to events right now but we would get to it as soon as this pandemic is over. The jewelry and nail polish are just to help us step up our beauty routine at this time. Thanks so much for reading.

What I want this Spring - Spring Wish List

            Ꚃhopping can be a form of therapy if done wisely and intentionally with great planning and this is why I like to have a wish-list or guide for every season. Since we are all spending more time at home now, it is a great time to shop for some home essentials. The first item on my list is a Bible. I believe now is a good time to get a new Bible in print to use for daily devotion/meditation. The world is presently in chaos due to the Covid-19 crisis and studying the bible and praying can be healing for our mental health at this time. I agree there are tons of Bible and Bible study Apps out there but their ease of use (on mobile devices) also defeat their benefit or purpose. We can start out studying on our Bible App and before we know it, we drift unto social media 😊 (funny but true) The items on my list also make for great gifts to family and friends

My Wish-List for Mother's Day

                                     One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven

               𐌼y Mother's Day wish List this year can also be a Gift Guide for you if you need some inspiration on what to get the young ladies/Mothers in your life. Gift giving is the main way we would all be celebrating this year as we practice social distancing and stay home under quarantine. First on my list is this puff-sleeved pink cotton dress from H&M. It is a lounging outfit that is comfy enough to wear while eating take-out at home with our close family and it would also make a great outfit paired with this color-block strappy sandals when it is finally time to socialize with others again. Face masks are very essential accessories right now and would make great gifts for family and friends. 

Winter Shopping List

               ᒎ know winter is almost over and spring is around the corner but for me, the two seasons kind of merge as one because we do get snow in my state till April. So, it's not too late to do a winter wish list. I love to plan and list my needed items some place where I can see them and I love making the list as colorful and fun as I can. For this season, I need a colorful puffy coat preferably a red color one because the color is so fun and bold. Puffy coats are also a big trend this season and we would see the trend even into the spring season.  Combat boots is another huge trend this season and a very functional one at that. If you are in need of a cute affordable pair, check out this stylish pair at DSW.

Holiday Gift Guide

             եhe  holiday shopping season is here and if you shopping for your loved ones especially the ladies and need some guide or inspiration on what to get them, then take a look at the listed items on the collage above. My general rule of gift giving at any time, is to give gift cards preferably from a store that your loved one is familiar with. However, if you absolutely need to get a gift for someone, then consider getting them gifts that they would not only enjoy, but they would also cherish at the same time. Almost every lady would enjoy a new set of Pajama Shorts any day and this bright red set is very fun and trendy and goes well with the festive season. 

Fall Wish List

As seasons change it is important to update and refresh our wardrobe and this can be done by closet editing (donating old pieces and restyling basic essentials) and also revamping of wardrobes (the addition of new affordable pieces) I do this exercise at the beginning of every season by looking at the current trends and deciding on which pieces to add to my closet and what pieces to pass on.

Gift Guide for Fathers

1. Sports Jacket: This is a good gift to present to someone who is very athletic or into fitness and would make for a great Father's Day gift. Think about it, it is a gift that would definitely come in handy whether a guy is into sports or not. Check out this sports Jacket here.

Shoe Lovin': Impo Olive Wedge Sandal

The wedge sandal has been a classic for the summer season "since forever" (pardon my descriptive language) and can be considered a summer essential or wardrobe staple; somewhat of a necessity. Well, this summer, the wedge sandal is a huge trend along with other platform sandals and many fashion retailers have released their versions and designs for the summer. This eye catching, geometric print, ankle tie wedge sandal is the spotlight of our Shoe Loving Post today. The sandal is by the brand IMPO and can be found at DSW.
