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.

Fall 2024 handbags under $1000

Fall 2024 handbags under $1000 from top left: moon shaped bag / hobo handbag / boxy tote bag / east/west satchel / suede tote / bucket tote /

There are so many beautiful handbags this fall season which are priced well under $1000, there really is no reason to break the bank in order to get your hands on a fabulous bag. Love that!

This fall season, handbags are being shown in traditional autumn hues such as chocolate brown, shades of brown, olive, dark shades of red, black (of course!), and medium neutral hues. This allows us to invest in a beautiful handbag which will be relevant in any fall season as well as year round; depending on the neutral color trends of the moment. I love these fall colors!

In addition to color trends, fall handbags are soft, logo-less, and can be any size. If you are a minimalist, a small or mini handbag will work for you. If you enjoy carrying everything including the kitchen sink, a bucket bag, tote or oversized bag will work perfectly. There is a size for everyone. Love that!

When it comes to silhouette, fall 2024 handbags offer varieties of styles. The hobo is still going strong as well as the east/west satchel, north/south tote, and moon shaped bags. In addition, the boxy tote and soft version of a work tote are also hot for fall. When in doubt, think soft and squishy.

Thankfully there are tons of affordable handbags available right now which are priced well under $1000 and fit perfectly into the fall trends. Love! I showcased my favorite fall 2024 handbag under $1000 in the collage above. Here are even more handbags under $100 for fall 2024 to love:

Which handbag is your favorite?
