Gift Guide for the Girl on the Go

Happy Humpday! Today is all about that girl on the go in your life. You all know one! Maybe it’s your workaholic mom, jet-setting bestie or your overachiever sister. These girls are running from one meeting to another, dressing day-to-night and always look amazing at a moments notice. How do they do it? By having all the right tools at their disposal.

Below is a list of what every girl on the go needs and some of these items are so fun! I love the gem speaker for a girl who is ready to dance at a moments notice, the Minimergency Kit for the accident prone and the Naked on the Run full makeup palette that can get any girl ready in a flash! And don’t forget to stash all these amazing finds in this Reversible Tote from Nordstrom!

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!

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?

Wearable Technology- Ringly

What do you think of when you hear the term wearable technology? Maybe Jawbone wristbands? Fitbit? Even Google Glass?

: Fitbit.com

Although these are all “wearable” and are becoming more fashionable with color extensions and designer collaborations, they are technology first and fashion second. But, wearable technology is about to have a new standard to live up to this Fall with the launch of Ringly!

Ringly is one of the hottest, upcoming wearable technologies right now. A big reason for the buzz around this smart accessory is it’s actual fashion appeal. What sets this ring apart most from other wearable technologies is the idea of it being subtle. You can usually spot someone wearing a fitness tracker from across the room and Ringly is meant to blend in with with the rest of your outfit and discreetly help you manage what’s most important on your phone.

Ringly has the option to set who and what you want to be notified of. If you are waiting for a text from the guy your crushing on, don’t want to miss your next meeting or even just waiting for an Uber, Ringly is here to help! You decide who and what comes through and can customize notifications with 4 different vibration patterns.

Now for the details. I think the idea AND look of Ringly is awesome. The Ringly app is compatible with both IOS and Android devices, has a 3 day battery life and comes in the 4 color options in 18K matte gold shown above (the Emerald color is already sold out for pre-sale!) In Fall these will be retailing at $195-$260, but for early supporters they are offering 25% off, bringing the price down to $145-$180.

Is Ringly the smart accessory you have been waiting for? I’m contemplating taking advantage of this 25% off pre-sale, what color do you think I should get?
