*sings off key* Christmas, Christmas time is here!
Hola folks!
I have been good the past month and have bought gifts for my family well before Christmas eve. I still have a few loved ones that need gifts and they are on the pickier side. These individuals are fashion forward and have a unique style. These folks can be some o the hardest to please in the gift department so I think I have found a few items that will be appreciated by our fashionable loved ones.
Statement Socks
‘One trend that I am LOVING is the statement socks with heels. They instantly make them so much more comfortable and gives an added way to add individuality to your outfit. Think about what your friend or family member’s style is and get them socks to match that! If he or she has a very cutesy style, try a pair with a furry texture or pompoms. If the individual has a sassy dress sense, try fishnet socks with pearl beads, sheer socks with tassels or one with a cheeky print. There are statement socks to complement just about EVERY style. Browse some of my picks below.
Aside from heels, socks look oh so dapper on men in well tailored pants. Adding a little personality into their work- or church-wear is a fun way for men to accessorize without doing too much.

Statement Earrings
You cannot go wrong with a pair of statement earrings. Whether you have long hair, short hair, no hair or anything in-between, statement earrings work for just about everyone. Go big and dramatic for your sassy friends and tone it down for the more reserved pals.
Hand Cream
Fashion and beauty go hand-in-hand at times so I am sure your fashionable friends would love some skin care! During these dry winter months one staple to keep on hand is a very moisturizing hand cream. There is nothing worse than an extremely dry hand sporting cute accessories. It just draws attention to the ash, trust me I know.
Oh and a tip from a girl with eczema who cannot use most hand creams, do not buy scented lotions for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions. I have wasted plenty of lotions, soaps and related items because I cannot use them. But they are great for everyone else!
Trendy bags
A purse is a girl’s best friend. A dope bag does not need to be designer and there are plenty of statement bags at very low ticket prices. And for the men in your life, maybe a nice gym bag or weekender for traveling is what they need. Men too like to have items that complement their style when out and about.
See an example of how I style statement bags in some of my other posts like THIS ONE and THIS ONE. In both of these posts, I style one of my fav statement bags, the waist bag aka the updated fanny pack!
What a fashionista would want the most: Gift cards!
We may be able to score items that they would like for the pickiest peeps on your list, it is safest to go with gift cards. It may seem a bit impersonal but they will be appreciative of it rather than keeping an item they will never use. Pay attention to which store they frequent or brands they normally gravitate to and get them a card for those stores. You can even buy online gift cards.
