The holiday season is in full swing, and a few of the IT items we all love are on sale! Love that!

This fabulous, structured hobo is a new style from Mansur Gavriel which debuted in September. It will be a huge IT bag as we move into 2022. A few fall colors are on sale; while the hues which will part of the 2022 collection are full price. If you love one of the autumn hues, snap one up! I have the caramel bag and I love it.

This black top, and these classic jeans, are perfect capsule wardrobe staples for a holiday and winter closet. They are elevated, everyday casual pieces which can be styled so many different ways! The black top is on major sale, and I find myself wearing mine all the time. It’s comfy, fashionable, and easy to pair with a scarf or wear under a jacket if the weather is cool. Love!

Red nails are huge right now! This new holiday red from Chanel is a hot color right now. It is also a great nail polish classic to keep in your nail polish collection. You can see my full review here.

Holiday gift ideas under $100

holiday gift ideas under $100 christmas gifts 2021

Holiday gift ideas under $100 from top left: pink scarf (avl in add’l colors) / holiday nail polish / hoop earrings / hobo bag (IT handbag style now and into 2022) / sparkling earrings (avl in add’l colors too) (local boutique) / panther ring / gemstone bracelet (local designer!) / candle / body butter trio /

‘Tis the season of gift giving! I love giving fabulous gifts to that special someone on my list, but I don’t always want to spend a ton of money; especially when buying several gifts at once! Therefore, holiday gifts under $100 are always ideal since I can control how much I am spending! My guess is that you feel the same way?!

Just because we are spending less than $100, doesn’t mean we need to take out the special meaning of the gifts. Do you have a Real Housewives fan on your list? This Panther ring will be perfect! Do you have someone who enjoys shopping local? Check out this gemstone bracelet made by a local San Jose designer, and these earrings from a boutique in Tiburon which also has an online shop. Looking for something woman owned? How about this body butter trio! Also women owned businesses, the gemstone bracelets and the local shop in Tiburon, The Perfect Provenance.

Is there a Fashionista on your list? Hobo bags are hotter than hot, and they will be the ultimate IT bag moving into 2022. This one is fabulous, and under $100. Love that!

Also hot; cozy scarfs in pretty colors, and hoop earrings. Love!
