Today, I am kicking off what will be a week of glorious holiday gift guides! I'm serving up interesting and (mostly) wallet friendly ideas for the fashionista, jetsetter, workaholic, handmade faves, eco-conscious, dapper dude, and chefs in your life...be sure to stay tuned each day!

Magazine Subscriptions - I love magazines. I can't get enough of their glossy goodness. Every time I go home to visit my parents, I beeline it to the couch where my mom keeps her stash....and I sit there until I have read all of them from cover to cover. My faves? Elle, Bazaar, and Nylon!

Hive & Honey Callie Bootie*- Every girl needs a comfortable and casual bootie to traipse around town in from spring to fall. These fit the bill nicely without going insanely over budget.

Chan Luu Geometric Chain Fringe Necklace* - This gunmetal-plated chain necklace features beaded triangles and chain fringe at the bib. A little bit tribal, a little bit hippie. I have one thing to say about this necklace: RADICAL.

Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System* - My dermatologist swore by the Clarisonic, and if you had seen her glowy, perfect skin, you would have been just as shocked and awed as I was that such a little scrubber could deliver such amazing results. She also said don't accept imitation sets. Luckily Clarisonic made these smaller 'Mia' brushes that are more wallet friendly than its bigger, more robust sister.


Elizabeth and James Eldridge Sunglasses* - Whether your are avoiding getting papped (seriously, mom...put the camera down) or fighting a killer hangover from last night's soiree, a good pair of sunnies is always necessary to amp up the glam factor.
