Accessories Gift Guide

It is hard to believe how fast Christmas is approaching! Along with the holiday’s there are also countless parties to attend which is why I wanted to save the final installment of my mini gift guide to be featured on accessories. I’m a huge accessories girl and I can literally wear the same clothing everyday, just as long as I have jewelry, either costume or simple, to add some bling to my outfit. These gift ideas are also great for New Years Eve inspiration so while you’re buying for your loved one don’t forget yourself!

2. Cuff Earrings, $6.95 – These earrings mix a bit of edginess with glamour – a perfect combo for those who want to be a little daring.

3. Silver Bracelets, $25.90 – Tis’ the season to stack up the wrist with different sizes of arm candy. These bracelets mix textures and shapes giving you more styling options.

4. Statement Necklace, $35 – I know dainty, small jewelry is in but you can never go wrong with a statement necklace and this one combines pearls, gold and silver creating the one of ultimate accessories you’ll ever have in your jewelry box.

Social & Entertaining Gift Guide

Although I was born under the Fire sign (I’m a Leo and proud to say it!) I never really considered myself to be a ‘social butterfly.’ Yes, I do like entertaining and hosting parties, taking selfies with my iPhone and my goal is to interview as many inspirational people from around the world I’m not one to get up on stage, a la Madonna, and strut my stuff (unless someone asked me to, of course). This gift guide is intended for your BFF, sister, aunt or any other charismatic person in your life that is a social butterfly in their own right.
