Luxurious Giftable Finds
As we head into the holidays everything seems to get a little more lux, from the cozy cashmere we put on to stay warm, to the extra bit of sparkle we use to adorn our outfits and our homes. Whether you're looking for a gift for a cherished loved one or prepping your holiday wardrobe, here's a roundup of some of my recent luxurious finds that would make lovely gifts (to give or receive!)
Jewelry - An obvious choice for added sparkle, over the last few months I've become obsessed with Dorsey's beautiful pieces. Crafted using lab grown gemstones and fine jewelry techniques, their collection offers amazing quality at the perfect price point. Dorsey is inspired by the founder's collection of vintage jewelry, and honestly I want it all. Their tennis bracelets are an everyday little luxury and I've been wearing their James 3mm Bezel in yellow gold almost every day since it arrived. The petite crawford earrings I'm wearing in this post are beyond beautiful (scroll down for a close up) and I find I'm reaching for them regularly to upgrade a simple sweater. (Note: Every Dorsey style is offered in both gold and sterling silver.) Dorsey doesn't do Black Friday discounting, so if something catches your eye I'd recommend scooping it up since they have a small batch production process and things tend to sell out. Their pieces are super giftable for the woman in your life that has been very good.
Velvet Jewelry Tray - While on the topic of jewelry I just got one of these velvet jewelry trays which are a perfect (soft) landing spot when taking off your baubles at the end of the day, and will make getting ready extra lux.
Lux Loungewear - This cotton cashmere lounge set just arrived, and from the rich oxblood hue to the pretty pointelle detail on the sweater I'm in love. The perfect thing to wear while puttering around your house this holiday season or curled up reading Christmas stories with your littles. As the temperature drops I know I want a cozy outfit for time at home and this set is more elevated than pajamas (also love this cropped pant and turtleneck combo in brown!) I've got a redeye flight this weekend and am wishing I had thought to pack them for the plane.
A Cashmere Dress - The gorgeous cashmere polo dress (currently 40% off!) I'm wearing in this post is SO GOOD. A lovely thick knit that smooths your curves with a statement button placket and bell sleeves. The perfect date night look while still being supremely comfortable. It does run small so I recommend sizing up one so it's not tight across your bum and bust. It comes in my lovely camel color and a beautiful black version as well. Pair with knee high boots (these or these both 30% off with "EARLYBF30"), or heels and tights.
Really Good Slippers - Living in New Hampshire I'm a bit of a shearling slipper connoisseur, and this pair just might be my favorite of all time. It's as if a Tod's driving occasion and LLbeans Wicked good slippers had a baby - super cozy but more refined than their LLBean counterpart. While they're billed as an everyday shoe, the designer Ann confesses to using them as her house slippers too. Mine arrived two weeks ago and I look forward to slipping them on each morning. Chic and so incredibly warm! (Ann Mashburn's whole collection is full of wardrobe staples from the perfect white shirt (see the many ways I've worn it here) to chic holiday style like the blackwatch trousers I've been coveting!)
A handsome coat - This time of year a coat is one of our most reached for items, so make sure you have one that can do it all. This beautiful coat (currently 40% off, making it under $240!) is tailored in all the right places and a great length for wearing with everything from mini dresses to jeans (as seen here). I love the covered buttons which make for a streamlined look and it comes in classic camel, black and a lavender color so there's something for everyone. Right now a bunch of my favorite wool coats are 40-50% off including this and this!
Pewter Frames - Match Pewter is my new obsession and I asked for several pieces for Christmas. The metallic shimmer of silver without the high maintenance polishing that comes with it. Win! Win! I especially love their picture frames, vases and trays, and just gave this heart frame to a friend who is getting married with a photo of her and her fiancé.
A Statement Belt - If you've been following along for any length of time you'll know I love a good belt, especially in the autumn and winter months. While this thick vienna belt (30% off with EARLYBF30) is my all time favorite, I also just got this black and gold buckle belt (30% off and I got the XXS) that looks amazing whether it's cinching the waist of a dress or the finishing touch to your sweater and jeans. I wore it with this black cable turtleneck and these black bootcut jeans for a date night last week and love how the gold buckle brightens up a dark colored outfit. The sweater and denim both run TTS, and you can get 15% off with "STACIE15".
