LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS FOR HER

Many of us may already have finished our Christmas shopping yet there still may be many of us who have some final gifts to buy.  Or some that haven't even started yet.  So I thought I would round up several of my favorite gift ideas that I've recently shared on Instagram.  These are all great gift ideas for those gals in your life!



What I love most about this Kipling "Paola" backpack is its rich green velvet color!  As you've probably seen here on KBStyled and elsewhere, velvet has been a HUGE trend this season and I've personally added several new velvet pieces to my wardrobe.  Backpacks have also been trending for a while now and I can't tell you how much I love being handsfree, especially out with my family.  Not to mention, Pantone just named the color of the year for 2017 and that color is greenery so I think Kipling has nailed it on the head with this gorgeous backpack!  Plus it is super affordable!




And how adorable is this Sonix "That's Bananas" pouch?!  Priced at $45, this pouch is perfect for carrying alone or for loading up with your must haves and tossing into a tote bag.  Sonix has the most adorable, and affordable, accessories!  I personally love their phone cases too, they are adorable!




Okay...so I know many of us have been hearing about these amazing magnet masks and I've recently tried Dr. Brandt's "Magnetight Age-Defier".  I've been super pleased with this mask.  It is great for all skin types and leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated.  This would be a perfect gift for that gal in your life who loves beauty products and trying new things!




I can't say enough about OPI's "Infinite Shine" nail polish and duo pack.  I personally don't have the time to keep up gel manicures at my nail salon every two weeks.  As much as I love having beautiful nails, my schedule often times prevents me from getting to the nail salon so often.  So I've started using OPI's Infinite Shine instead and I LOVE it.  It is like having a gel manicure that you can do yourself and it doesn't require a light.  You need to use the duo kit with another Infinite Shine color and my personal favorite is "Big Apple Red".  I recommend buying the duo kit AND your favorite Infinite Shine color/colors.  Why not buy one for yourself and one for that gal in your life who loves doing her nails?!




Another nail polish that I love is Sally Hansen's "Color Therapy".  What's amazing about this particular polish is that it is infused with argan oil so it nourishes your nails while wearing it.  This would be great for someone who maybe wants to give their nails a bit of a break or who wants to treat their nails to a little more TLC!




Calling all makeup loving gals...this eye shadow palette from Make Up For Ever is an absolute STEAL!  It is only $34 and the metallic colors are perfect for creating a glam holiday look!  They are super bendable as well.  For the price, you cannot go wrong with this gorgeous palette!




The color of this Urban Expressions "Stevie" backpack is so rich and gorgeous.  I adore the shape of this backpack and how lightweight it is.  It is large enough to carry all of your essentials yet small enough to not feel weighted down!  It comes in 4 different colors and is only $80!!!  Again, this would be a great bag for the gal who is on the go and who enjoys being hands free!




Speaking of the gal on the go...every gal needs a rechargeable phone battery pack to carry in their purse.  I know we have all been there...on the brinks of 1% battery life with no way to recharge our phones.  So I don't leave home without my Bando battery pack!  Not only is it so chic and pretty to look at but it gives my phone more life and helps me stay in touch while out and about.




If I'm being honest, I have a new obsession and it is Quay Australia sunglasses!  Their sunnies are so gorgeous and great quality for a beyond affordable price!  If you are looking for unique sunglasses that make a style statement, then you must check out Quay Australia!  These are my first pair and I can't wait to get another pair...I personally have my eye on their "Stop & Stare" style!




One of my all time favorite lotions to us Jergens "Ultra Healing" lotion.  I've used this for YEARS and anytime I switch out and try something new, I always find myself coming right back.  It leaves my skin so soft and smooth and the light scent is divine!!!  Put some Jergens in your own stocking or the stocking of a loved one...they will thank you!




What woman wouldn't LOVE a beautiful pair of new heels?!  These stunning Marc Fisher patent leather pumps make such a statement.  The color is so rich and beautiful and the style is so classic.  Not to mention, patent leather elevates the look of a heel so much.  These heels are high quality for an affordable price and they come in a variety of colors!




During the winter months, I struggle with keeping my hands moisturized.  My hands tend to crack and my cuticles do as well.  I've started using OPI's Avoplex products and have definitely noticed a difference.  I've been putting this on every day and have even had Peter use it.  Both the hand lotion and the cuticle oil would make a great stocking stuffer or addition to the Infinite Shine nail polish that I shared above.

Hope you all have a great week ahead, the excitement is building in our home and we are all awaiting Santa's arrival!  As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

The Iconic Sweetie with Links of London

*Today's post was in collaboration with Links of London via Shopping Links.

The "Iconic Sweetie Bracelet" from Links of London is inspired by the candy charm bracelets that many of us wore as a child and today, it is designed to be a timeless representation of our own personal stories.  When you design your Sweetie bracelet, you are picking out charms that mean something to you!  

I had a hard time picking out my charms because when browsing through all of the options, there were so many that could easily represent something meaningful in my life.  I immediately was drawn to the house charm for many reasons.  The charm is called "home is where the heart is", which is a saying I have said so often and that I truly believe in.  We also moved into our brand new home this past August so this particular charm holds such a very special meaning for me and my family...it represents a new beginning as well.

I also picked the feather charm, which to me reminds me to keep a light heart and a lighthearted perspective on things and this gorgeous acorn charm, which is a symbol of luck and power.  I've always heard that acorns are representative of "luck" so why not wear a little luck around your wrist every day. 

Next up, I am going to add the initials for our children.  There are so many other charms that I cannot wait to add to my Sweetie bracelet.

The Sweetie is such a great gift for someone special in your life or you may even want to treat yourself and start your very own personalized bracelet.  Either way, I'm certain you will cherish your Sweetie for years to come.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a great day!

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HER



The holidays are upon us and I'm so excited to kick off my gift guide series!  There are so many great gift guides out there but I will be searching high and low for amazing gifts that will help you check your family and friends off of your list (all while keeping your holiday shopping budget in mind because believe me, we all have one).

I hope to make your holiday shopping a bit easier and if you are anything like me, the crowds and long lines at most retailers this time of year continues to steer me more and more towards online shopping.  I'll pay a little extra for shipping if I don't have to fight traffic and wait in those long lines!

I'd also love to hear who you are shopping for this season so let me know by leaving a comment below!  If you need help, just let me know...I'm happy to help you get a jump start on your shopping this season!

Today, I've started with the ladies!  It's always much easier for me to shop for the women in my life because the options are abundant and there are just soooo many wonderful gifts for women.  So fellas, if you are reading this, take note!  I've picked just a few of my favorite gifts so far and there will be more to come.

I handpicked each of these gift ideas and I love them all but I must say that I adore these tassel earrings and these cashmere gloves (which are such a great buy)!  And personally I want to curl up in this turtleneck poncho.  What I love most about gifting a poncho or even a blanket scarf is that that both are great pieces for just about anyone.  If you aren't exactly sure of someones size, these are perfect because they are essentially 1 size fits all.

I'm all about giving the gift of comfort each season as well and this fleece robe is so dreamy!  Talk about being snuggly and warm all winter long.  Does anyone else live in their robe at home?!  I know I do!

AND I am totally OBSESSED with this druzy ring...I want one for myself!!!  It is so unique and fun...a statement piece that a jewelry loving gal in your life is sure to love!

If you are hanging in today, doing some online shopping, I hope you will take some time to check out my favorite picks for HER!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
