‘Tis the season for sweaters! This means it is the perfect gift idea for the holiday season! Love that!

Sweaters are perfect this time of year, and they also make amazing gifts. I love sweaters which transcend trends and can be worn for years and years. Stripes are classic; as well as interesting knits in solid hues and subtle patterns. All of the sweaters shown above are either already in my closet, or on my wish list!

If you are looking for the perfect gift for yourself, or others, why not choose a fabulous sweater?! Love! I am hoping to find one of these sweaters under the tree for me on Christmas day. Hint hint Santa!

How fabulous is the Khaite Lotus Tote! I am in love! This beautiful tote bag is made from luxurious, soft leather or suede. It is currently available in two sizes; mini and medium. They are both fabulous, and when it comes time for me to choose, I am not sure which size I will go with!

The mini Khaite Lotus Tote is soft and squishy. It is the perfect size to fit everyday purse essentials, and Khaite has created it in leather and suede. The color choices are neutral with a pale blue suede offered as well as a light navy blue in suede Ugh, they are gorgeous!

In addition, the medium sizes Lotus Tote by Khaite is equally fabulous. It too is available in neutrals and blues, leather or suede. The medium offers a larger tote capacity allowing you carry everything and the kitchen sink.

Both sizes offer that slouchy look and are made with high quality fabrications and craftsmanship. So, it is not surprising why the Khaite Lotus Tote is hot on the streets. This tote bag is popular among fashion insiders, and anyone who appreciates a well-made, investment handbag they can wear year after year. This is truly an heirloom item.

Khaite is an amazing designer brand founded in New York in 2016. It has quickly turned into a cult favorite among fashion insiders, the fashion industry, and anyone looking for high quality, investment items. Thier chic, timeless vibe can be felt beyond the handbag collection and throughout the entire collection. If you are not familiar with Kahite, I highly recommend checking out their entire collection.
