GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM
The holidays are right around the corner, and I’m guessing that at this point many of you are starting to panic about gifts. Lucky for you, I apparently enjoy browsing the internet for hours at a time to curate gift options for men. I hope this post comes in handy. With everything from outerwear to loungewear, body care to drink containers, this list is sure to have at least one thing that will please even the pickiest and hardest-to-shop-for men you know.

GET YOUR KNIT TOGETHER
September is just around the corner, which means I can officially start wearing Fall clothes, regardless of the fact that it will probably be 80+ degrees in LA until late October. Summer is great, tans are fun (as long are they aren't preceded by gnarly sunburns), and the longer days are nice. But let's be honest. Fall and Winter are far superior seasons because they entail OUTERWEAR AND KNITWEAR!
I miss wearing outerwear so much. I haven't touched my knits in months. That's why I want to be completely prepared with a huge selection of perfect knit sweaters when temps finally drop. As long as we're talking mid-70's, I'll wear a sweater. I'll just convince myself that it's cold enough to warrant doing so.
I rounded up a selection of 9 sweaters — different in their structure, material, coverage, and unique details. I already have some sheer sweaters and chunky knit turtlenecks in my closet, but I need to get my hands on some split sleeve detailed pieces, as well as everything else on this list. Hopefully this list is helpful to you, too!
Topshop Sheer Sweater | Proenza Schouler Split Detail Sweater | Zara Bow Sweater | Zara Ribbed Sweater | House of Harlow Quinn Sweater | The Reformation Urlina Sheer Turtleneck Sweater | The Reformation Cordelia Alpaca Sweater | Finders Keepers Tomorrow Knit | Keepsake Imagine Knit | Free People Rossi Henley
GIFT GUIDE: accessories
Are you freaking out about holiday shopping, yet? Hopefully this third (and final) gift guide will finally help you find that gift for that person you've just been stumped on what to get.
My favorites in this set are probably the pins (which seem to be making a HUGE comeback), the dainty jewelry from Vrai & Oro, and the "bad bitch" necklace from IGWT.
I recently collaborated with Vrai & Oro on a Black Friday Instagram post and immediately fell in love with their environmentally-conscious brand. They sell high-quality fine jewelry without the retail markups. Their site is the perfect place to find a gift for a best friend!
Pins are the perfect way to accessorize a plain denim jacket, some vintage cuttofs, or even a backpack.
And last, but certainly not least, the "bad bitch" brass heart necklace by NYC brand In God We Trust." Make sure to check out all of the "sweet nothing" designs on their website to discover other cheeky heart necklaces.
GIFT GUIDE: beauty
Part 2 of my 2015 holiday gift guide series!!
We all need a little pampering sometimes, so I've put together a collection of beauty products that are sure to make anyone's day.
My favorites in this set are probably the Mask of Magnanimity by LUSH (the green one) and the Sephora Sheet Masks (my favorite are the green tea and the pearl ones!). I haven't tried any of the other products, but I'm dying to get my hands on that Butter London nail lacquer, if anyone wants to get it for me...
