Any Bracelet by Roxanne Assoulin
Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I stack as many of these gems on my arms as humanly possible. Clearly I am obsessed with the Just Say It customizable bracelets (see provided example to the left) and this Navy and Gold moment is calling my name as loud as a mother with a lost child in the middle of a department store.

Tees by XKarla
These tees aren’t just great additions to any wardrobe, to me they are essentials to every wardrobe. Thoughtfully fitted and cut for the perfect silhouette, and available in a multitude of fits (the classic and the original fits are my must haves) they are legit a cool kid staple. You might as well buy 3 of each, cause I guarantee you’ll be obsessed.

Love Yourself, Love your Life by the boys of Queer Eye
Literally, at this point, I would walk on my hands if they told me it was chic. Their first book, in a perfect for the coffee table or in your handbag for everyday use kinda size, this tome provides biographies of our Fab Five, helpful tips (of the Spray, Delay and Walk Away variety) as well as inspirational thoughts and quotes that would make Maya Angelou proud.

Becoming by Michelle Obama
I just want to state for the record that I have been waiting to read this book since the day it’s press release was, well released. I can only blame this ability to not buy it before the holidays on the fact that I have bought it for every (yes, every) White Elephant / Dirty Santa moment I have encountered this year. However, I can no longer wait to hear the thoughts and musings of our former first lady. A woman who I find powerful, inspiring, and CHIC AS HELL.

Oribe Ultimate Damage Repair Duo
I ship Oribe hard. Like BugHead on Riverdale hard. Everything that exists in their line smells like heaven (they even have their own eau de parfum now due to the popularity of the scent) and legit does what it says on the box. These power drops especially are a game changer supreme. Worth every single penny Sis.

A Boy that Likes Flower Custom Sneakers
Created by a fellow Dallas native, Neil Patel, these shoes are becoming quite the hot ticket holiday must have! Hand painted after a consultation of what you see your shoes looking like (mine as you can see here were a mix of peonies and perfectly dainty leaves), no two pair are the same. And keep your eyes peeled folks… Metallic hues are next on his to do list.

David Rose Tee by Rose Apothecary
Do I even need to bother explaining this to you? A little piece of heaven from my favorite television comedy, this tee expresses all that is right (and real) about the holiday season. Not to mention is the perfect accessory for their just released Holiday Episode (Christmas did indeed come early). I am just going to leave it at that, because if you know what’s good, you know that Schitt’s Creek is Simply the Best.

The Modern Mister Long Sleeve Tee by Kule
This is yet another Reed Staple. The perfect tee, as these Kule Kids (oh yea, I am so doing that on purpose) would describe it, is fuller in the body and slightly slimmer in the arm. Made from luxe cottons and machine friendly, they aren’t just adorable, they’re addictive. And available in color combos that make buying multiples easily justified.

Double Breasted Faux Fur Coat by Topman
Here’s the tea;
It’s faux fur (good for the animals, kind to the budget, extra to the personality)
It’s in the Gumption approved wheelhouse of colors (come THRU Oxblood)
And, it’s available in my size and is guaranteed by Christmas Eve.
Any further questions?

Calf Technical Backpack by Mansur Gavriel
From the second this now beloved line made it’s first bow, all I wanted was the inevitable expansion into menswear. And this year my wish came true! Made of the most lightweight high quality leather, and available in five different color ways, this minimalist backpack will take you from season to season in savagely sartorial style.
