Clara Sunwoo holiday style

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!

Handbag gift ideas

Handbag gift ideas from top left: caramel moon shaped hobo (IT bag, designer under $1000) / black studded bag (designer under $1000) / small red hobo (under $500) / top handle caramel bag (IT bag) / suede and leather bucket bag (under $200) / classic pouch / black east/west satchel (under $500) / black bucket bag (under $200) /

What a fabulous time to be giving the gift of an investment handbag! We no longer need to spend thousands to acquire the IT bag of the moment. Handbags are back to what they should be; an investment. This means we can give the gift of an investment bag this holiday season and she will love it for many years to come.

Stay away from logos. When shopping for the perfect handbag to give, or even give to oneself, we want beautiful design and craftsmanship; no loud logos. No-one needs to know which overpriced designer you are carrying, they only need to see the beautiful leather, suede, faux leather material etc., as well as the perfect craftsmanship. This can be achieved for under $2000, under $1000, and even under $500. Love that!

This holiday season, why not give the gift she will carry a lifetime? I am loving these fabulous and slouchy bucket bags under $200. This east/west satchel is a hot item which also happens to exude a classic vibe. Loving the edgy studs on this black designer handbag. The leather is buttery soft yet strong, along with expert craftsmanship. Love that!

Moon shaped hobos are hot as well as traditional hobos. Why not give the gift of a classic and chic hobo bag? Also loving this timeless, yet current IT bag with a top handle and shoulder strap. It is one of my go-to bags. Love!

So, without further ado, here are several fabulous handbags to give this holiday season. Love them all!

Which handbag are you giving this holiday season? Or maybe putting on your wish list for Santa?

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more holiday gift guides and coverage.

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!
