Monthly Must-Haves + Wishlist/Gift Ideas
Me again, checking in with a few recent purchases this month that I’m loving and wanted to share! While my complete Holiday Gift Guide is coming soon, this may start helping you think of what to ask for this holiday season or what to buy someone else. Enjoy ♥
Off my case Phone Case
Price:$78.00
Although this case may not make it to you by the holidays since it’s custom, it’s unique, fun and a nice mix up on the traditional phone case. I opted for a black case, with my name in white which I’m finding can be hard to find, but I love how sleek and trendy these are. While it’s a little slippery and definitely not protective, so far so good on any disasters with dropping my phone which usually happens 3 times a day.
Dior Lip Oil
Price: $34.00
$34.00 dollars for a lip oil was totally a splurge for me but I am definitely not regretting it. With masks and not being able to wear lipstick, this lip oil is the perfect layer that keeps my lips hydrated and nourished feeling and the best part is that it doesn’t stick to my mask. I also wear this under and over my lipstick depending on whether my lips need hydration or my lipstick is looking lackluster and I want a glossy look. I have the shade “Cherry” and while it’s subtle, it’s the perfect hint a red.
Topshop Ivory Blazer
Price: $42.50
This blazer is a steal and I love the fit of it. It’s perfect for that oversized blazer look and it falls so nicely. At 5’4 I usually stay aways from blazers because they’re always too big or boxy and although this one say it runs a little large it’s perfect for over dresses or rompers.
Olaplex Hair Gift Set
Price: $60.00
I’ve been wanting to try Olaplex for a while now since I recently color treated my hair and have been using hot tools everyday for the last three months. My hair has felt way more dry and damaged and with one use of the No. 6 before a blowout I’m hooked. Goodbye dull, dry hair and hello shine. Pro tip thanks to Brows By Leah —>I also use the No. 6 on my eyebrows post brow lamination.
LAFCO Feu de Bois Ski House
Price: $65.00
This was on our registry and we received it at our engagement party and I couldn’t help but open it ASAP. It’s literally the most incredible scented candle I’ve ever smelled and it truly makes me feel like I’m in the mountains. Its filled with woodsy/balsam notes and it will definitely be burning all winter long in my house.
Claw Clips
Price: $14.99
Hello stocking stuffer! If you’re like me and always losing clips this would be perfect to add to your wishlist or the perfect little something to buy for someone else. These are super trendy and the tortoise matches any and all outfits. Plus since this is 4 pack, you’ll have a clip for every space in your life (the car, bathroom, your purse etc).
Aritzia Vegan Leather Pants
Price: $148.00
The Porto Pants are my all time favorite leather pants I’ve ever worn. I literally think I tried on every kind of leather pant in the entire Aritzia store and these were by far my favorite pair. The flare bottoms are not TOO much and still surprisingly extremely flattering on someone more petite (I’m 5’4). The best part about these pants though is that they don’t button but rather zip up the side, making them super sleek and comfortable for a night out or dinner.
Jo Malone Pear and Freesia
Price: $72.00
I’m always switching up my scents so after getting this sample in a Sephora haul and absolutely loving it the second I ran out I immediately headed to Bloomingdales to purchase. Pear and Freesia is a perfect light/ fresh scent that isn’t too feminine or overwhelming and it has a base scent of patchouli, a sensuously deep, woody note that is perfect for Fall.
