Do you have a tech savvy person on your holiday shopping list? Wondering how much you need to pay to get her something she will love? Don’t feel intimidated, there are some extremely affordable gift options for the tech savvy girl on your Christmas list from Ankit.

I was recently introduced to Ankit. They have so many fabulous gift products for everyone on our holiday shopping lists! I love all of their affordable tech gear. The noise cancelling headphones are amazing. Not only do they have a cute floral pattern, they actually cancel outside noise and allow you to enjoy what you are listening to. As a busy Mom who needs some “me time,” this is extremely luxurious! If you have someone who loves tech gadgets, and needs some “me time,” then these headphone will be the perfect gift!

If you have been following along, you know I attend fashion week twice a year. During fashion week, I am using my phone constantly without many opportunities throughout the day to charge it up. I rely on portable phone chargers to get me through the day. I love this portable phone charger by Ankit, It is slim, making it easy to slip inside the interior pocket of my handbag. It also charges my almost-dead iPhone 7 up to 100% in no time flat. Love that! If you have a busy girl on your holiday gift list, this is perfect! You can find my portable phone charger online here.

Lastly, when tooling around town, it is nice to be able to charge my phone. I love this car phone charger from Ankit. It has the cutest little pattern on it, and it works like a charm to keep me charged up while I am driving a long distance, or taxing my kids around. This too would be a great gift for the busy, tech savvy girl on your list. Love!

Ankit has so many fabulous tech gear gift items, you can’t wrong with your choice! Here are all my favorites from Ankit. They make great stocking stuffers as well as main gifts for under the tree. Love!

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / MAC Lipstick / Alexander McQueen scarf / striped dress c/o SheIn / Kendra Scott bracelet / nail polish c/o Essie / Proenza Schouler satchel / Rebecca Minkoff guitar strap / Burgundy booties c/o Joie (color sold out, more colors here)

Stripes are so much fun! I have always loved stripes, but after seeing them splashed all over the spring 2017 runways, I became more enamored with the pattern than ever before.

This black and white striped dress from SheIn is perfect for rocking the horizontal stripes trend right now, and into next year. The fabric is lightweight, and easy to care for. So for cold days, it can be warmed up with booties, a scarf, and a jacket. I love how this dress also looks topped off with a moto jacket; or any leather jacket!

If you want to wear a striped dress casually, this particular dress can easily be paired with sneakers or slip-on sneakers for a casual, street style look. You can top the look off with a bucket bag or backpack. Voila! Instant street cred 😉

When the warm spring months hit, this striped dress from SheIn will look amazing with block heel slides and a statement necklace. I love owning pieces which are fun to style, and easily transition between seasons.

Since stripes are a hot trend right now, you can’t wrong with a striped dress to take you from now into next year! See below for all my favorite striped dresses from SheIn; all under $50! Love that!

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish holidays 2016

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is one of two colors Chanel introduced for the holiday 2016 season. Pink Rubber by Chanel is also part of the “Velvet Nail Lacquer” collection which is a type of matte nail polish.

If you are a fan of matte nail polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is a dainty, pale matte pink polish which is feminine, and acts as a neutral. This is a great color to move through the holidays, into the resort season, for finishing the winter months, and transitioning to spring. This is the color that can do it all!

Pale pink nail polish is a huge trend this winter season. The hottest colors in winter and holiday nails include pale pink, shades of red, and metallics. If pale pink is the nail polish trend you want to follow this season, Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is the way to go!

The matte finish of Pink Rubber gives a modern edge to an otherwise classic, and feminine hue. As with all Chanel nail polishes, Pink Rubber is long lasting. I tested it out with one base coat, and three coats of color, no top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before my nails grew out and they needed to be changed.

Pink Rubber by Chanel is a pale pink, cream nail polish which needs three coats applied in order to not be streaky. Since Chanel polish is strong, you don’t really need a top coat, so the extra coat of color is not a big deal. So if you usually add a matte top coat to your polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is matte so you don’t need to take that extra step.

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is limited edition, and part of the holidays 2016 collection. It is selling out fast! You can find Chanel Pink Rubber online here.
