‘Tis the season! I know you want to find a handbag under the tree this holiday season! Well, at least I do! haha So, this holiday season, why not give the most fabulous gift of them all? A handbag! Love!

This year, give the gift of an investment handbag she can wear year after year, and eventually pass down to her children. Investment bags are not only hot right now, they are always hot! In addition, they save money in the long run because you don’t have to constantly update your handbag wardrobe, you can reach in your closet and find the perfect bag. She will appreciate receiving a gift that keeps on giving.

In addition to the six investment handbags featured above, here are a few more fabulous handbags to choose from which are investments, anonymous, and downright fabulous.

Handbag gift ideas under $500.

Which handbag are you wishing for this gift-giving season? Here are a few I have my eyes on-just in case someone whopping for me happens to see this, haha:

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more holiday gift ideas!

The fall weather has finally arrived, and holiday shopping is starting to happen! So far, we have beautiful nail colors from Chanel and Dior for the holiday season. This is a great way to start getting into the holiday spirit without walking around town in holiday themed sweaters and earrings that light up. (Those are for parties only btw)

In addition to holiday nails, this is a great time to continue to invest in timeless handbags, classic jewelry and cold weather essentials such as boots and sweaters. It’s cozy season! Love!

In case you are already looking for gifts, aren’t these tees fabulous?! They are designed by a local designer, Laura from Have Need Want, and they have really fun sayings on the front. My favorite is “I speak fluent French.” Here are a few of my favorites from her shop:

Chanel nail polish holidays 2023 review

The holiday nail polish collection from Chanel is here! There is a shade for everyone this holiday season from Chanel. Love that!

For the 2023 holiday season, Chanel is giving us a classic gold nail polish, an understated white-ish nail polish, and a festive sparkling black polish. This leaves a color for every lifestyle this holiday season.

It is so refreshing to not have a predictable red nail polish for the holidays! I love that Chanel is giving us a classic gold, as well as an avant-garde black, and a timeless white so that everyone has the perfect color to fit their lifestyle.

So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors from the Chanel holiday 2023 beauty collection.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2023 | Chanel Sequins

Feeling a bit edgy this holiday season? Black is the IT nail polish color of the season! Of course, Chanel always hits a home run when it comes to nail polish trends. Chanel Sequins nail polish is a sparkling black nail polish which features small sparkles. It is a fabulous nail polish, which I am wearing as I type this! Love!

Sequins by Chanel is shown with one base coat and two coats of color.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2023 | Chanel White Silk

Do you like understated nails or work in a conservative environment? Then Chanel White Silk is the holiday nail polish for you! This white hued nail polish has a very slight peachy tint, making it stray from a traditional stark white.

Chanel White Silk is shown with one base coat, and three coats of color to avoid streaks.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2023 | Chanel Tuxedo

Chanel Tuxedo nail polish is a classic golden polish which sparkles in the light. This is a fabulous nail polish color to take you through the holiday season and into the new year. Love! Of course, metallic nail polish is a huge trend too! I love it when a color is both classic and trendy at the same time.

There you have it! Three fabulous hues from Chanel for the holiday season. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Chanel Sequins is mine!
