I've had so much fun creating and sharing these gift guides. Hearing what you've been gifting (and which pieces you've added to your own wishlists) has made this one of my favorite parts of this holiday season.
So here's one last roundup before we close out the year. These are things I own and use, or would genuinely love to unwrap myself on Christmas morning!
Whether you're still hunting for that one perfect gift, need a couple more stocking stuffers, or just want a little something for yourself as a well-earned treat for making it to the end of the year, this is for you.
1. Talova Face & Body Balm
I put this on my heels every night before bed, and my feet have never been softer. It has a light, citrusy scent and is rich without being heavy or greasy. What makes this different from other balms is how quickly it absorbs while still delivering serious hydration. This is the balm for anyone who's tried everything else and is still dealing with dry skin, or for someone who appreciates clean, effective skincare that actually works. I mentioned in my last entry that I’d gift this along with their botanical elixir and body balm as a set!
2. The Suede Bag from Madewell
Madewell is changing the game on leather goods! This bag has been on my wishlist for a while now, and I hope I find it in my stocking on Christmas morning! Suede and studs are having quite a moment in fashion, and I find this bag incredibly chic. I’m living for a slouchy silhouette and short(ish) shoulder strap. Madewell does exceptional leather goods at this price point, and this bag proves it. This is a beautiful gift for anyone who appreciates quality accessories that work with everything in their wardrobe.
3. Gold Metal Baroque Claw Clip from Lele Sadoughi
I've really gotten into hair clips this year, and Lele Sadoughi does the best job of elevating accessories beyond basic functionality. This baroque clip has an artfully crinkled design in 14k gold-plated metal that catches light beautifully. It's substantial enough to hold thick hair securely but delicate enough to look elegant.
These make wonderful stocking stuffers because they come in the cutest little bags. You could also just add tissue paper, and it would look beautifully wrapped. The 3-inch size works for everything from half-up styles to full updos. For anyone who's been relying on drugstore claw clips, this is the upgrade that makes the messy updo feel slightly more chic.
4. Lancôme Idôle
This is my go-to, everyday perfume. In fact, I'm almost out of my current bottle. The scent blends fruity notes that remind me of candied apples with creamy sandalwood and rose. It's warm and inviting without being overly sweet or heavy. What I love most is how long it lasts. Apply it to your pulse points in the morning, and you'll still smell it by evening. It's one of those scents that people notice and compliment without it being overwhelming. For anyone who wants a signature fragrance that feels modern and sophisticated, this is it.
5. Taylor Scalloped Wide-Leg Jean
I bought these jeans for myself after being influenced by my friend Missie Crawford (@missiecrawfordstyle on Instagram) at our recent project photoshoot, and I wore them to my Find Your Best Neutrals event with Edit by LBP last weekend. The compliments were nonstop!
The scalloped side seam is what makes them special. It's unexpected and feminine without being trendy in a way that'll feel dated next year. The high-rise and wide-leg are universally flattering, and you can style them with a simple tee and flats during the day, or dress them up with a cashmere sweater and boots for the evening.
