Top Gifts for Her (Or You!) | 2014

What women want– that’s a mystery men have been trying to figure out for centuries! I don’t think this topic is something I can easily sum up in a blog post, but I’m here to help you answer “what women want for christmas“!

I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but my Christmas shopping is already off to a strong start! Some of you might roll your eyes, but I live for this time of the year! I just love shopping for the perfect gift. It can be a lot of work, but nothing beats finding the ultimate gift that puts a smile on their face.

Below, I pulled together a complete collection of amazing gifts for any girl in your life. It’s important to keep in mind that every girl is different and therefore you need to pick a gift that suits her personality. Try using the collage below as inspiration. For example, accessories are a great gifting option (no sizing!), so maybe you decide to buy mittens. If your girl is a little funky, the bear mittens below would be perfect! But, if your girl is more classic, maybe a plaid print or leather gloves would be better. I love to get inspiration for ideas from the internet and then tailoring them to fit my friends and family.

Use this list to get you started, you do still have over a month until Christmas! 🙂 Love an item below? Share in the comments!

Summer in San Francisco

As August comes to an end, summer in San Francisco begins! Fall is a magical time for us in San Francisco- it’s when temperatures start to rise and tourist season starts to wind down, the sun starts to shine a little brighter and the streets are a little less crowded. That’s why this weekend we were focused on enjoying our wonderful city!

I wore my favorite summer shorts, my white Levi 501’s. They scream summer with the multi colored neon dots embroidered on the front. With these temperatures, it’s key to wear your shorts and tanks, but I never leave home without a jacket! I chose my favorite chambray top from Levi’s, the perfect piece to complete any outfit and shield me from the wind.

Levi’s Chambray Shirt (On Sale for $47) / Neon Pink Tank- similar BKE tank (On Sale for $12) / Levi’s 501 Cut offs ($78) / So Sandles- similar ZIGI (On Sale for $29.97) and Steve Madden Kween Sandals (On Sale for $33.47) / ALDO Leeton Fringe Crossbody (On Sale for $29.98) / Gold Tassel Necklace- similar Topshop Chain Necklace ($28) / ASOS Fruit Watch (On Sale for $17.41) / Bracelets- Pink Fitbit ($99.95), kate spade new york bow bangle ($78) and CC SKYE Mini Love Spike Bangle ($125)

Chevron Chic

Most of you know Chicago as the Windy City, and so did I… until I moved to the top of a hill in San Francisco. This city by the bay is windy, especially as you climb further up the hills. And as much as I try to get my hair to cooperate, sometimes you’ve just got to surrender to the wind and throw it on a bun!

This chevron baseball jacket was one of my many scores from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s a pretty busy print, so I chose to keep it the rest of my outfit simple with a black top and maxi, finishing it off with gold accessories. I love to take everyday basics and pair them back to one pop item or statement piece. This jacket gives the look personality and a fun seventies vibe!

Notice that pop of pink on my wrist? That’s my new fitbit! The jury is still out on it, but so far I’m really liking it and learning a lot about my body. Do any of you have a fitness tracker? If so what are your thoughts on them?

BCNU Chevron Baseball Jacket (On Sale for $26.40) / Gap Favorite Tee (On Sale for $14) / Old Navy Maxi Skirt ($34.94) / Cleopatra Bianca Purse (Hautelook)- similar Steve Madden Chain Clutch ($68) and ASOS Shoulder Bag ($24.75) / Target Sandals- similar DSW ($29.94) and Lucky Brand ($38.49) / francesca’s tassel necklace- similar Sosie (On Sale $15.50) / Forever 21 Gold Jewelry / Pink fitbit ($99.95) / BP Heart Sunglasses ($12)

Tory Burch + Fitbit

Walking around San Francisco these days it’s hard to spot a wrist that doesn’t have a fitness tracker on it. A fitness tracker was one of the few things that were actually on my birthday wish list this year, but I have had trouble deciding which brand I want. I think there are pros and cons to all the models out there, but one of the biggest deciding factors for me is the aesthetic and versatility of the band.

I prefer the look of Jawbone’s slimmer, subtler design, but unfortunately I am not a huge fan of the color options the newest UP24 models come in. Fitbit Flex on the other hand, comes in a wide range of colors, including a trendy mint option, but would I really want to wear this mint fitbit when I’m dressing up for a date night with my husband or giving a presentation at work? That’s where fitbit’s collaboration with Tory Burch comes in!

Tory Burch for fitbit

As I mentioned in my Ringly post, I love the idea of wearable technology being fashionable and blending with my everyday wardrobe. And I’m happy to say that Tory Burch is here to fill that void in fitness trackers! You no longer have to where the huge rubber band on your wrist to see how many steps you’ve taken or calories you’ve burned. Tory Burch has created two fun printed options, but also a gold hinged bracelet and a pendant necklace that are much more sophisticated than anything else on the market right now. Check out the different designs below.

TORY BURCH FOR FITBIT SILICONE PRINTED BRACELET $38

TORY BURCH FOR FITBIT METAL HINGED BRACELET $195

TORY BURCH FOR FITBIT FRET PENDANT NECKLACE $175

Seems awesome right? So here’s the catch… none on these styles actually come with the fitbit tracker. The idea is you buy a fitbit flex separately ($99.95) and then purchase these as accessories from Tory Burch. The two printed silicon options are a reasonable $38 each. The gold-hinged bracelet and pendant are more expensive at $195 and $175, respectively. The idea with the gold options would be to have a fitbit flex that you could work out and sweat in and then pop your tracker into these nicer accessories when you are dressing up. It’s a great option for us who want to camouflage our fitbits.

I think it’s fabulous Tory Burch and fitbit have teamed up to bring us this flexible, fashionable fix for wearable technology. Interested? This line is available for pre-order now on toryburch.com. My only question is when will other brands jump on board?
