The holiday season is here! This means we all need something fabulous and sparkly in our wardrobe which works well for daytime, evening, and travel events. Yes, travel! I am excited to share this outfit because the top and skirt are not only perfect for all of the holiday parties here at home, but they also pack well.

What do I mean by “they pack well?” Oh! Let me tell you. Clara Sunwoo makes fabulous clothing which is packable! YES! It folds small and doesn’t wrinkle at all. I tested these pieces out by folding them and stuffing them into a packed suitcase. Guess what, they came out perfectly! No wrinkles! Love that!

Since I will be attending holiday events here at home, as well as traveling for the holidays, this outfit is going to serve me well. I also love how you can mix and match these pieces for different events. The “liquid leather” skirt can be worn with a festive, sequin sweater for casual events or a faux fur jacket for cool, evening events. The top looks amazing with pants and jeans for daytime events. This makes them perfect for my mix-and-match wardrobe! Love it!

Of course, Clara Sunwoo has more than just party attire on her website. If you have travel plans, or just want fuss-free clothing, go check out her entire collection. Everything is packable! Love that!

BAF Weekly IT List

Can you believe it is already November? The year has been flying by! As we look forward to the upcoming holiday season, it is clear that we all need to shop early this year! Thanksgiving is on the late side which means there is less time between turkey day and Christmas. This is the perfect reason to shop now. That way, once Thanksgiving hits, all we have to do is eat and have fun! Love that!

I know I tell you to shop early every year, but seriously, it is the best feeling to be done by Thanksgiving. I have already started! So, if you aren’t quite sure where to start, I have started publishing my gift guides. There will be new ones every week leading up to Thanksgiving. Let me know if you have someone hard to shop for on your list. I am happy to give you suggestions! You can DM me on Instagram or send me an email.

Wondering what’s hot this year? Both of the soft bucket bags pictured above are priced under $200 and are currently the IT bag style of the moment. The slouchy bucket bag isn’t a fleeting trend, so don’t worry about only wearing it for one season. This will be a fabulous style to wear and well into next year and beyond. Therefore, it is a great gift to give or buy for oneself. Love!

Holiday nail polish, classic footwear, wide leg jeans, cozy sweaters, and the anonymous handbag are all hot right now. Plus, they are investment items. I love creating a wardrobe you can build on each season rather than replace. We have all moved beyond being wasteful and into the era of sustainability. Love that!

Holiday gifts for her from top left: golden earrings / Love tee (local designer) / black handbag / holiday nail polish / skin care gift set (under $50) / lipstick gift set /

It is that time of year when we start making our list and checking it twice! This year, I am excited to gift my girls’ handbags, nail polish, beauty gift sets, cute tee’s, jewelry and more! Love!

These cute graphic tees are designed by a local designer and make the perfect holiday gifts! They can be wrapped up in a box under the Christmas tree or rolled into a stocking. Either way, she will love receiving a fun, graphic tee she can wear all long!

Of course, handbags always make fabulous holiday gifts! This one is extremely popular right now and is available in multiple colors. It offers the hot east/west satchel silhouette and the IT bag, anonymous vibe. Plus, it’s under $500. Love that!

Who doesn’t love a beauty gift set? I know I do! This skin care gift set is the current IT cream, and this lipstick set has fun colors in addition to neutrals. She will love them all!

How cool are these earrings? They are crafted by one of my favorite jewelry designers. Definitely on my Christmas wish list, hint hint-is my husband reading this?

This is a great time of year to shop. Thanksgiving is late this year, so this means the shopping time between Thanksgiving and Christmas will be shorter than usual. I am a firm believer in finishing holiday shopping before Thanksgiving. This leaves the holiday season relaxing and fun. Love that!

Stay tuned for more gift ideas and holiday coverage.
