BF Top 5: Holiday Gift Ideas for the Fashionista

~~posted by Jen


Is it over yet? I don’t know about you, but I personally will be GLAD when the holiday season is over and done with. I’m still looking for my “Christmas Spirit,” so if any of you happen across it, please send it back to me!

That could be the reason I am making so many Christmas crafts lately, who knows! If the very idea of all the holiday parties is stressing you out, make sure you check out our Survival Guide to Holiday Parties so you have a plan in place.

Everyone has different “types” of people on their list to buy holiday gifts for, so I thought it would make it easier if I gave you a list of Top 5 suggestions for each category of people on your list. Nik already shared her “Favorite Things” on her birthday, and today is all about The Fashionista on your list. (Or the Diva, Miss Thing, the Paris Hilton wannabe, however you happen to refer to this particular person, but you get the gist.)

So here’s our Top 5 Holiday Gift Ideas for the Fashionista!

#1. Heidi Klum’s New Balance Project Runway Dress with Inserts. Most all fashionistas I know are devotees of Project Runway and would be THRILLED to get the very dress that won a challenge this season. Not to mention it’s supercute and versatile, in case YOU happen to be said Fashionista on your list. (I’m just sayin’)

#2. Juicy Couture Pink Daydreamer Handbag. No Fashionista worth her Manolos wouldn’t love a Juicy bag. I happened to choose this pink one because, well, I love pink. They have a great selection on Amazon and the prices are pretty hard to beat. This bag retails for $225 (I was recently swooning over it at a local store is the only reason I happen to know this little tidbit.) and it’s only $169 on Amazon. Not to mention they’re offering FREE shipping AND FREE returns. Can’t beat that with a stick!

#3. Designer Shades, preferably oversized and in animal print. These Steve Madden sunglasses are to. die. for. Seriously. And I know quite a few hardcore fashionistas who would concur.

#4. Skinny jeans in a dark wash, designer label of course. (Duh!) 7 for all Mankind makes these super hot skinnies in “New York Dark.” Gotta love that! Toss in a subscription to Vogue or
In Style as a stocking stuffer, and you’ll have one VERY happy fashionista!

 #5. This one should be a no-brainer. The Complete Series of Sex and the City, what self-respecting fashion-crazed diva doesn’t take Carrie Bradshaw’s advice as second only to, well, the Bible? You could always wrap the Boxed Set to go under the tree and put the Book, along with the Movie Version, Parts 1 and 2, in their stocking.

So they already have all the Carrie-phernalia? How about Project Runway on DVD? So far there is no “boxed set” available, but they have released all 8 seasons of the show on DVD.

There you have it, our Top 5 Holiday Gift suggestions for the Fashionista on your list. We hope this helps take some of the stress out of your holiday shopping!
