Holiday Gift Guide

Gift Guide: Hometown Favorites

Hi friends!
Can you believe Christmas is four sleeps away?! December has seem too flown on by! Today’s post will be my last gift guide for the 2018 holiday season! We get so caught up in online shopping, simply because its convenient, but if you are anything like me, nothing beats heading to your favorite local mall and hitting up your favorite stores, so, for all my local Madison babes, this gift guide is for you, I am sharing a few items from all my favorite shops! Not local? No problem, all the shops I am sharing today have great online stores!

First up, Twigs!
Ahh, where do I start! I love this store. I don’t think I’ve ever walked in and not found something I love, they carry such a great selection that it’s a great place to find gifts… and treat yourself 😉
I am loving this poppy sweater, I think it’s a great way to add a little color into your winter wardrobe without sacrificing warmth. A classic chambray top would be adorable layered underneath.
These Rag & Bone boots were a bit of a splurge, but they have quickly become my favorite pair of boots I own. They are by far the most comfortable (they put my Frye boots to shame) and are so easy to style. Right now I have been loving them paired with leggings and a fun boot sock. These run TTS, I bought an 8.
These PJ’s are so so soft, and the red and white makes them feel so festive, perfect for Christmas morning.

Second on my list, Anthropologie!
These Spanx leggings are a must for any girl on your list (including yourself). The faux leather finish gives a little extra something to any look. These run TTS, however, I did size up one size because I didn’t want them to suck me that much.

Next up, Lululemon!
Ah, this has been a favorite store of mine for years and years. The two items that are my ‘go-to’s’ and that I own in more than a few colors are the align leggings and the define jacket. I wear both of these as active wear and athleisure. Both items come in SO many colors and patterns.

Now let’s talk, Madewell!
They are running a great holiday sale right now, 30% off! So now is a great time to stock up on shoes and leather goods. These glitter mules were a must for me, they are so fun and extremely comfortable, I got my regular size, 8. The transport tote is a Madewell staple, and for good reason, it’s such a timeless piece, you will have it for years! Add a fun scarf to it, and you’ve got the perfect gift for any girl boss or recent college grad! And if you are still looking for the perfect look for your holiday get togethers, this plaid blouse would be perfect, pair it with the glitter mules I mentioned, and you’re ready to rock!

Time to accessorize at Kendra Scott!
I was SO happy when Kendra Scott announced they were coming to Hilldale, I feel like it’s now the perfect mall (unless they added Nordstrom and JCrew… then I would really spend all my time there, hehe!) anyways! I love their jewelry! Head over to their color bar and custom design the perfect accessories for all of your gal pals!

And you can’t forget about the stocking stuffers, head over to Paper Source!
It’s the place to find all the fun things! These flavored gummy bears are so yummy and make for great stocking stuffers!


There you have it! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! And again, if you are local, head over to Hilldale, they have the best shops (in my opinion) and have the CUTEST holiday décor.

Xo,

Taylor
