The holiday season is short and sweet, so my capsule wardrobe for the season is also short and sweet. I have four key pieces which can be mixed and matched into several outfits, making it versatile, and also great for traveling during this festive season. Love that!

I love a good sparkle during the holidays, and this sweater offers the perfect amount. The sparkling silver stripes allow it to be festive enough for evening yet understated enough for daytime wear. This sweater paired with jeans is the perfect casual, daytime holiday look. Love!

Of course, for dressy casual occasions, or warmer weather, this sparking black top paired with jeans and heels is the ideal mix of celebration vibes and effortless casual. Grab a faux fur jacket from the archives and its casual party ready!

Have I mentioned how comfy this fabulous skirt is? This skirt offers a fun twist on a classic silhouette with this liquid leather (faux leather) fabric. It’s soft, easy to care for, wrinkle resistant, and looks amazing. Paired with a sweater, it is a fabulous cool weather, holiday look. With the black sparkling top, it is ready for any holiday party invite you RSVP to. Love that!

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?
