My holiday gift guide for her 2021 is here! This holiday season, I am in the mood to give her the gift of IT items. Why not treat that special someone on your holiday list to an IT bag, IT hair dryer, fabulous kettle, on trend nail polish, classic perfume, cozy boots, a statement belt, and fabulous jewelry!

This year, the shopping theme is “shop early.” With delays in shipping in our ports, we can avoid any stock outages by shopping early, while everything we need to buy is still on store shelves. Unless you are waiting for a Black Friday door buster deal, buying gifts for everyone on your list now, is a wise idea. I have already started shopping, and I hope to be done by Thanksgiving!

BAF Weekly IT List

holiday street style trends

BAF Weekly IT List from opt left: foundation powder / fall nail polish / structured hobo bag (IT bag under $1000) / oversize black top / faux leather pants / lug sole boots / chocolate brown chain pouch (hot IT bag) / grey satchel /

Street style right now is chic, simple, and reminiscent of the 1990s; but without the dreadful and boring minimalism of the decade. I love that the good parts of ’90’s style is hot right now, without the bad, frankly boring parts. Love that!

Now that many mask mandates are coming to end, this foundation powder is a must-have! We can no longer get away with doing only our eyes, our whole face needs attention. This foundation powder is a face in one compact. Love it!

People are starting to dress up, and leave the loungewear at home. In fact, I am seeing less denim on the street and more faux leather pants, as well as skirts. It’s so chic; I love it!

Handbags are also a little bit more dressy as the structured hobo gains more and more popularity. Plus, the pouch clutch is a continuing star in the handbag world. Everyone seems to have one!

As the rainy season starts, these water resistant lug sole boots are a must-have. Plus, they have the ideal, on-trend 1990s look we all want right now. In addition, these boots are really comfortable. I bought them last year, and they are still being made this year because everyone loves them so much. If you haven’t snapped up a pair yet, what are you waiting for?

Stay tuned! Holiday gift guides are coming up in the next two weeks to help you get started early on your holiday shopping. I am huge proponent of shopping early. This helps ensure you get what you want while it is still in stock, plus allows for slower delivery times during the busy holiday season. I love finishing up before Thanksgiving. This way, we can all enjoy the holidays and see all the pretty gifts wrapped under the tree. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

BAF Weekly IT List

fall street style trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: foundation powder / fall nail polish / holiday nail polish / G buckle belt / black long sleeve top / green pleated skirt / lug sole boot / green statement earrings / structured hobo bag (IT bag under $500) /

Can you believe it is almost November? I am trying to figure out where October went! It is starting to feel like the holiday season is upon us; which it is! My head is still deep into enjoying fall! How are you feeling right now?

The street style trends from the fall season will definitely continue as we head into the holidays, and the winter season. Structured hobos, lug sole boots and shoes, along with style influences from the 1990s will continue to dominate our wardrobes.

Can I give a shout-out to this foundation powder really quick? I have sworn by it for close to eight years now. This powder is not just a setting powder, it has powder foundation in it. When you apply it to your face, it’s a one-stop routine. You don’t need foundation and powder, just this powder. I use a spot concealer and this powder; which I apply with a large foundation brush. It is an easy make-up routine, plus this compact is safe and convenient for travel; which we are all slowly getting back into the groove of! If you are looking to simplify your make-up routine, or you enjoy an unfussy makeup routine, this is the miracle beauty item you have been looking for!
