The ultimate list of CHIC GIFTS for her + $1,000 Nordstrom Giveaway!

I’m always looking out for gifts that are chic but also a little bit practical. My home/office style is to find everyday normal things but are a little bit more chic and girly. I know most of my friends love the same things and I want to find gifts that are actually useful!  These gifts are great for a co-worker or friend who loves to stay organized at her desk or home!  My top picks from the Oprah’s Favorite Things inspired me to look on Amazon for more great gift ideas and I found plenty!

THE ULTIMATE LIST OF CHIC GIFTS FOR HER

The ultimate list of chic gifts for her

ACRYLIC MAKEUP AND JEWELRY ORGANIZER || VANITY MIRROR WITH LIGHTS

ROSE GOLD TRAIN CASE || POLKA DOT ACRYLIC STAPLER

PINEAPPLE TUMBLER || BLUETOOTH SPEAKER || MERMAID BRUSH || ROSEGOLD PHONE HOLDER

 

CHIC AND USEFUL TECH GIFTS

If you don’t have a bluetooth speaker – you need one.  I listen to my music, podcasts and audiobooks on my phone but when I’m at home, I prefer to use a bluetooth speaker so I can actually hear it more clearly!  If you have an echo dot, you’ll need a bluetooth speaker as the dot is amazing for all the stuff it can do, but the speakers aren’t so great.  I’ve mentioned before how much I love the echo dot and how we have one in every room which is also why I love having a little bluetooth speaker like this, I can take it from room to room easily! And for the price, it’s such great quality!

Most of these things are available for Amazon Prime (FREE 2 day shipping) if you don’t have it yet, try it here and get a 30-Day Free Trial

BLUETOOTH SPEAKER – comes in 5 colors ($20!)

girly pink bluetooth speaker

If you don’t have one of these little phone grip/holders, let me just tell you that you NEED one! Especially if you take lots of photos as it helps you stabilize your phone or if you look at your phone in bed and have had your phone fall on your face (admit it, it’s happened to you too!) 🙂 You can easily hold your phone in your hand and it won’t move or fall out.  It really helps if you have small hands and an iphone plus type phone where it’s a bit too large to fit in your hand.

PHONE HOLDER AND STAND – comes in 8 colors ($4!)

rosegold popsocket

“TREAT YOURSELF” GIFTS FOR THE BUSY WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE

My daughter and I are obsessed with bath bombs.  For her, mostly the ones that turn your bath water into crazy colors but for me, I love the ones that can help me relax!  These ones have really great essential oils that make your bath smell great and are great for your skin.  Also you get 6 of them for $16 which is an amazing price for how great these are!

BATH BOMBS GIFT SET

How pretty is this credit card holder?  I love the color and the pearl accents!  Also the keychain/lanyard is such a great feature!  I love having something that I can just grab and run out the door.  Sometimes when I walk to the grocery store, I really don’t want to be carrying a big bag when I know that I’ll have groceries to carry back so this is the perfect solution.  The back even has a clear ID slot!  It’s pricier than the other items on this list but for under $100, it’s well worth the price.

CREDIT CARD HOLDER

Pearl credit card holder

OK so this is less on the useful side but it’s so pretty that I had to share!  It’s something that I wouldn’t buy for myself but if I got it as a gift, I would love it!  I love having pretty items to keep on my vanity and this is definitely something that I would keep out.  It’s under $10 so it’s a great stocking stuffer or secret santa gift!

MERMAID MAKEUP BRUSH

Gold Mermaid Makeup Brush - Cute gift idea

 

I have this on here because I want one of the lighted vanity mirrors so bad!  It’s so pretty and would be so useful when putting on makeup or plucking my eyebrows (or examining all the wrinkles on my face LOL)

VANITY MIRROR WITH LIGHTS

Pink lighted vanity mirror

PRETTY HOME ORGANIZATION GIFTS

I love acrylic makeup organizers.  My bathroom is full of them but I don’t have one of these that can organize your brushes and lipsticks on the top and keep everything else organized on the bottom. It’s so smart to have it all together!  It comes in 3 colors but I’m loving the pink tint so much!

MAKEUP AND JEWELRY STORAGE

pink makeup and jewelry organizer

From someone who owns a lot of makeup, a train case is a lifesaver to keep all my daily essentials and more organized. Also use it for your jewelry, hair accessories and so much more!  This one is just so pretty, I love the rose gold.

ROSE GOLD TRAIN CASE

rosegold traincase

I’ve mentioned this acrylic stapler and tape dispenser many times before but it’s because I love them so much!  They keep my desk looking so chic.  I can’t help but love cute desk accessories when most of the time they are so boring!

ACRYLIC TAPE DISPENSER  \\ ACRYLIC STAPLER

GIFTS FOR YOUR HOSTESS

If you are heading to a friend’s house for a party or for the holidays, don’t go empty handed!  These gifts are going to be a great gift for anyone that loves having friends over!  I adore these hot cocoa mugs. I mean, how cute right?  I already bought these for a friend who always has me and my daughter over for hot chocolate, it’s the perfect gift!

MARSHMALLOW MUGS

marshmallow hot chocolate mugs

Even though pineapples are a bit more summery, these copper tumblers are just so chic that they can be out year round.  Also if you didn’t know, in the Chinese tradition we use pineapples to celebrate Chinese New Year as they represent wealth and luck which are always welcome in my house!

PINEAPPLE TUMBLER WITH STRAW

Top picks from Oprah’s Favorite things Gift Guide

My first gift guide of the season and I had to share my favorites from Amazon.  I was just talking to a friend the other day about how much we shop on Amazon and how crazy it is.  But honestly I don’t know what I’d do without Amazon these days.  I always have something on my list that I need to buy and think “oh I’ll go to the store tomorrow for it.” but I never make it to the store.  In between my busy work schedule, my daughter’s after school activities and our packed schedules on the weekends, it’s next to impossible just to run to the store for one small thing!  I now just end up searching for it on Amazon and ordering it, knowing that it will come to me in 2 days or less, thanks to Amazon Prime! Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial

Anyway, I absolutely love that Oprah’s favorite things is now on Amazon as I love to see what she picks every year.  I’ve rounded up my favorites from her picks that you don’t want to miss out on!

Oprah's favorite things - top gift picks on amazon

READING SUNGLASSES || FAMILY PAJAMAS
ECHO SHOW || STEMLESS CUPS
CHARGER AND EARBUD HOLDER || OFF THE SHOULDER SWEATER


OPRAH’S FAVORITE THINGS: FASHION FINDS

We did family pajamas last year at Christmas including the grandparents too and it made for such cute photos!  I want to do them again and I love these Burt’s Bees pajamas.  I bought a pair for my daughter a few months ago and they are the softest pajamas I’ve ever felt!  I can’t wait to get my own pair.

FAMILY PAJAMAS

Oprah chose right when it comes to this sweater.  I love the off the shoulder trend and working it into my winter wardrobe. It’s a style that is flattering on every body type, 100% cashmere and comes in 3 colors.

OFF THE SHOULDER SWEATER

 

I never knew reading sunglasses was a thing but after seeing these I feel like they are genius!  I wear glasses only when I drive but obviously can’t wear my glasses and sunglasses at the same time so I often have to choose which ones to wear on bright sunny days.  My eyesight isn’t terrible, it’s just a slight prescription that and I think these will be perfect for me. They do go up to a 3x magnification strength which I think will be great for my mom as well.

READING SUNGLASSES

OPRAH’S FAVORITE THINGS FOR THE KITCHEN

I’m a Nespresso lover.  We have both the Nespresso Virtuoline and the Pixie in our kitchen.  My husband and I rarely go a day without using either machine.  But I when I saw this on Oprah’s list, I started to make room in my kitchen for another!  Beyond that Nespresso coffee is some of the best coffee/espresso you can make at home, their machines are beautiful and this one is no exception.

NESPRESSO CREATISTA

nespresso creatista

At night, I always wind down with a glass of wine. I’m always the last to go to bed as I put my daughter to bed around 9pm and my husband who has to wake up quite early in the morning goes to bed soon after. I’m usually up until 1am-2am and I just need a glass of wine to wind down. I love that these glasses are not only pretty but insulated so it keeps my wine at the perfect temperature!

STEMLESS GLASS

OPRAH’S FAVORITE THINGS BEST GIFTS PICKS FOR MOMS

This is on the top on my wishlist, it’s amazing!  I love matte lip colors and this is a set of 25 of them!  I just saw that it was sold out on Amazon, I’m sure they will re-stock soon but you can also buy it here!

JULEP LIP MOUSSE SET

I am always carrying iphone and my macbook chargers with me as I work literally everywhere. How cute are these cases that keep them all organized?  I love the earbuds one too! No more dealing with tangled earbuds.

CHARGER AND EAR BUDS ORGANIZER

stylish charger cord organizer

If you didn’t know, I LOVE the Amazon Echo.  I’ve already written about why every mom needs the Amazon echo and now they’ve come out with the Echo Show and I want it! You can check the news, the weather, it will show you who’s at your front door, turn off your lights, you can even call people from it.  I love stuff like this and my family is such an echo family that this is perfect for us.

ECHO SHOW

I never knew a shower cap could be so stylish!  I adore this and it’s not just for the shower, if you want to keep a cute hairstyle while you sleep or keep your hair out of your face while your doing your makeup or a mask, this is the perfect and cute solution!

SHOWER CAP

Stylish Shower caps

OK, I realize a toothbrush seems like a questionable gift, but they I use a toothbrush everyday as do most people so you know it would definitely get used!  I love my sonicare as it really has helped with my teeth health and I always get good reports from the dentist after my yearly checkups.  The Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush is their latest model with 5 modes and 4 different brushes!

Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush review

I’ve got a couple more gift guides heading your way but wanted to get this one out first as I know when Oprah endorses something, it tends to sell out quickly!  Head on over to check out all of Oprah’s Favorite Things.

What to buy at the Nordstrom Fall Sale + $1,000 Nordstrom Giftcard GIVEAWAY!

Did you see?  Nordstrom Fall Sale has started and it’s just as good as the Anniversary Sale!  Well, actually there’s some stuff from the anniversary sale that’s marked down again so if you missed it the first time, you may be able to grab it now! And don’t miss out on the $1,000 giftcard giveaway, it’s at the bottom of this post so keep scrolling and make sure to enter!

I’ve rounded up my faves, some that I already own and some that I’ve put in my cart!  Almost everything is at least 40% off and perfect to transition to the winter as well.

Don't miss these picks from the Nordstrom Fall Sale

(1) OFF THE SHOULDER SWEATER || (2) SKINNY JEANS || (3) PLEATED HEM SWEATER

(4) WINTER COAT || (5) ANKLE BOOTIES || (6) QUILTED BACKPACK

(7) CUT OUT BOOTIES || (8) SHAWL COLLAR CARDIGAN || (9) FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS

FALL UNIFORM (SWEATERS AND JEANS) ON SALE

I always look for unique details in sweaters and thisone shoulder slouchy sweater (1) has just the right details.  I also love the pleated hem sweater (3). Both of these would go great with my great with my fave skinny jeans (2) that are now marked down too!  These high waisted jeans are also a fave. They’re on sale and great for those of us with short legs, no hemming required! And don’t miss out on this tie front sweater, it comes in so many cute colors and it’s under $50! Not jeans, but faux leather leggings (9) are a lifesaver some days.  On some of the coldest days, I’ll just pull on a long sweater, these leggings and over the knee boots and call it good.  It’s such a comfy outfit!

3 BOOTIES NOT TO BE MISSED

I’m all about the cute ankle booties in the fall and especially love the cut out detail.  The lower ankle booties (5) tend to be more flattering when wearing skinny jeans and these slightly taller booties (7) are really cute when you cuff your jeans slightly higher than the boot. I got these cutaway booties at the anniversary sale and they are back on sale for 40% off!  These ones are harder to wear in the winter because you can’t wear socks but if it’s not raining by all means, pull them out because they are so cute!

FAB BAGS AND ACCESSORIES

There’s just so much cute stuff on sale, beyond just the clothes.  I’m loving all the accessories at such good prices right now!  I’ll all about the backpack these days.  I can’t even believe how long it took me to get back into backpacks but now I remember why I used to love them!  Load them up and so easy to carry around, it’s the best. The quilted backpack (6 above) is so cute and under $30!  I love bright colored bags during the winter when I tend to wear a lot more grays and blacks.  It’s just an easy way to bring color and personality to your outfit so I adore this pink bag (7 below) that’s now 40% off!

I go on and off with watches but I’ve found that during the winter, when I’ve got gloves and layers on, I don’t want to have to deal with continuing to pull out my phone out of my bag just to see the time so I’ve been wearing watches a lot more and love the classic black and gold watch (6 below).  Tory Burch makes such great quality pieces and it’s always nice to be able to get classic styles like these on sale.

TOP PICKS AND WHAT TO BUY AT THE NORDSTROM FALL SALE

Don't miss these pieces from the Nordstrom Fall Sale

(1) LONG CARDIGAN || (2) COLD SHOULDER SWEATER || (3) SIDE TIE SWEATER

(4) BOW FLATS || (5) OVER THE KNEE BOOTS || (6) GOLD FACE WATCH || (7) PINK BAG

(8) EMBROIDERED DRESS || (9) DANGLE EARRINGS || (10) SATIN SHIRTDRESS

PIECES THAT STAND OUT

It’s so easy to get in a style rut during the winter when it’s so cold out, so I like to buy pieces that can help make my outfit stand out, just even a little.  The cold shoulder trend isn’t going anywhere soon and even though it seems impractical during the winter, I’ve found that it’s actually a very smart piece to wear!  You tend to layer up in cute winter coats and scarves, mittens, etc… but by the time you get indoors where the heat is blasting, suddenly you are sweating!  This cold shoulder ruffle top (2) would definitely help you out in that situation, plus it’s just so cute so you can wear it for so many seasons. I had to include the embroidered dress (8) because it was such a popular dress during the summer that I didn’t want you to miss out on the sale (it’s 40% off and comes in 4 colors!) but also because you can still totally wear it in the fall/winter if you don’t mind layering it with tights, over the knee boots (5) and a cozy long cardigan (1) You don’t have to wear it off the shoulder so it still can totally work for the winter!

WEAR IT TO WORK

A few pieces that you can wear to work are this pretty satin shirtdress (10) It’s under $30 and comes in 4 colors!  I love shirtdresses and would pair this with tights, the over the knee boots (5) and if you want to stay a little warmer, just add a long cardigan over that.   Add the watch (6) and the pink bag (7) and you’ve got yourself a great work to happy hour outfit!

The bow flats (4) are so cute and they were also one of the items that were super popular for the anniversary sale. They are now on sale for 40% off and come in 8 colors/patterns.  I sometimes hated spending the day in an office building in boots as I would get so hot and sometimes tall boots can be uncomfortable so I would keep a pair of flats in my office.  These would be perfect for that and I just love the bow detail.

DON’T FORGET, THE DESIGNER SHOE AND BAG SALE!

I’m going to try to get to Nordstrom this week to do a dressing room try on and review.  And wanted to remind you to be prepared as the designer shoes and handbags sale will be coming up soon. It usually starts the day after Thanksgiving but you’ll be able to pre-sale at least a week beforehand.  Check out my other posts to help you shop the sales!

Nordstrom Fall Sale: What you need to buy right now (dressing room reviews)

what to buy at Nordstrom Fall Sale

It’s fall sale time! I went to Nordstrom and scoured the sale racks and found some great pieces.  It’s such a weird time right now weather wise, it has been extremely hot but then we had a few days of non stop rain too so I went in just wanting to find comfy cute tops that I can wear during this season with or without a jacket.  Luckily, the sale didn’t disapoint and I found quite a few cute tops and they were all on sale for under $50.

 TIE SLEEVE SWEATSHIRT

This tie sleeve top is so cute and really, really soft.  Like it’s so cozy I want to wear it every day.  It comes in 3 colors and I’m wearing the XS, it runs true to size.

Pleione sale tie top

Had to share you both untucked and tucked as it’s such a versatile top and really cute both ways.

Pleione tie sleeve sweatshirt top

FLEECE CARDIGAN (SIMILAR)

This cardigan is not online but I found this one that’s very similar.  I love bell sleeves and cardigans so it was a good match for me!   It’s a bit oversized and odd looking with my shorts but I think it will be really cute once I pair it with skinny jeans and boots.

Nordstrom Fall Sale - bell sleeve cardigan

RUFFLE HEM SWEATSHIRT

I guess I was just really in the mood for red, which is unusal as it’s not usually my first choice.  I loved this cute ruffle hem sweatshirt and it’s so easy to wear and pairs well with everything.

Nordstrom Fall Sale - Best pieces on sale right now

RUFFLE PEPLUM HEM TOP

I actually already own this top in another color but had to get the black as well as it’s just one of those super easy to wear tops.  I get so lazy some days when I need to head out for a busy day with my daughter so I always look for tops that are cute but super easy to wear.  I just wear it with jeans, add some jewelry and I’m set!

RUFFLED HANDKERCHIEF HEM TOP

I don’t have a pic of this ruffled hem blouse on but trust me I wear it ALL the time and I was so excited to see it finally go on sale! I actually have it in a few colors but this pink is my favorite and this color is now 30% off!

Fall Fashion Finds Under $50 (the best of Amazon fashion!)

I’ve been finding the cutest things on Amazon lately so I’ve rounded up the best fall fashion finds on Amazon.  The best part?  Everything on this post is $50 or less!  So many cute pieces.  The first set are a bit more dressy/work friendly.  How cute is the bell sleeve tassel top?  It’s a fave!  I couldn’t help add a few cold shoulder tops as it may be fall but cold shoulder is definitely still something I’m going to be working into my wardrobe!  The pretty ruffle like the blue or the blush are great work to happy hour tops.  And that cute blush dress will be SO cute with a cozy cardigan and over the knee boots.

I couldn’t forget some cute shoes.  I’m loving blush for fall and adore the pointy toe pumps.  But these mules, such a great price and they come in a bunch of colors that will go with everything in your fall wardrobe!

 What to buy at Amazon: Fall Fashion Under $50

TOP ROW: BLUE BLOUSE \\ BLUSH BLOUSE \\ TASSEL TOP

MIDDLE ROW: COLD SHOULDER BLOUSE \\ SCARF \\ BLUSH HEELS \\ BLUSH DRESS

BOTTOM ROW: FLORAL PRINT BLOUSE \\ OPEN TOE MULES \\ STRAPPY COLD SHOULDER BLOUSE

—————————————-

This next set are all pieces that would be cute for weekends and casual days.  I’m all about the oversized or flowy tops so that striped blouse and the ruffle hem sweater are on the top of my list.  The lace up tee is so cute if you pair it with a jean or moto jacket.

I’m all about the embroidery these days, it’s such a fun detail.  The dress, the top and the booties are all great pieces that can be the focal point of your outfit.  You don’t need to add much more with those pieces.

The best Fall Fashion pieces under $50

TOP: RUFFLE TOP \\ LACE UP TOP \\ EMBROIDERED DRESS

MIDDLE: EMBROIDERED TOP \\ RING HANDLE BAG \\ BOOTIES \\ POLKA DOT RUFFLE TOP 

BOTTOM: OVERSIZED TOP \\ EMBROIDERED BOOTIES \\ CLUTCH \\ STRIPED SKIRT

I’ve been looking all over for an affordable ring handle bag.  It’s definitely a “look for less” of the Chloe bag if you are comfortable with that.  I can’t vouch for the quality, but if you are just looking for a cute ring handle bag I think it’s a great option and it’s under $30!  I’ve found quite a few “look for less” bags on Amazon and I’m thinking about doing a quick round up.  I, of course don’t support fake designer bags but I’ve actually seen quite a few women carry bags that are “inspired by” (I guess is a good word for it) and I actually don’t mind them.  The bags don’t have the logo and are not trying to be a replica so I’m debating on my thoughts around it.  What do you guys think?  I’ll share my round up soon!

The best of Beauty and Home at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale + $500 Giveaway!

I hope your not all shopped out yet as I still have more deals to share with you!  My first thing is to always shop for clothes and shoes at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but they also have amazing deals in the beauty and home departments!

For the beauty items, it’s such a great time to get these products now as a lot of the sets and deals are exclusive for the sale and they won’t go on sale again.

1. T3 Flat Iron & 2. Hairdryer: My favorite flat iron and hairdryer by T3 is on sale!  I admit it seems like a lot to spend on hair tools but after using them for awhile now, I understand why expensive tools are worth it.  They just last longer and they do the job much better!

3. Aveda Hair Essentials: I’m such a fan of Aveda hair products and just saw that they have this essentials kit as part of the sale!  It’s only $39 and you get shampoo, conditioner, thickening tonic (great to give your hair fullness and volume) and the best hair spray.

4. Revitalash: I haven’t started using this yet but I’ve heard amazing things! It’s basically buy one get one free right now!  I’ve used other lash growers before and had great results, it’s just that you have to keep on buying it but for now I’m happy to get this deal!

5. Erno Laszlo Cleansing Duo: The Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar alone is already worth this set!  This is one of the best cleansers I’ve used.  I’m not usually one to use a bar but I tried this out on recommendation from an estethician friend and I am a cleansing bar convert!  My skin feels so clean after I use it and it has helped keep breakouts away.

6. Clarisonic Mia Fit: I’ve been using this for about a year now and as much as I love the other clarisonic tools, this one was a clear winner once I started using it.  I love the shape of the Mia Fit compared to the ones with the longer handles as I feel like I can really control where I’m cleaning my face.  Oh and I just rub the cleansing bar on it to get the soap on it and the combo of the two has been fantastic for my skin.

I also wanted to mention that T3 also has the hair dryer and flat iron in compact sizes which makes it great for putting in your gym bag or for travel. Both work just as well as their regular size versions and are just so cute!  Get the hair dryer here and the straightener here.  I just got mine and they are coning with me on our weekend trip!

I’m kind of obsessed with little details for the home.  I’m always buying little things to add to every corner of my house and I change things up every few months or so to make it feel new and fresh. Below are some of my favorites from the home sale that I use year round and happy to see that they are on sale!

1. Canvas Wall Art: How cute is this?  I totally want it for my office but I currently don’t have any more wall space!  I’m going to need to take something down to make room for it.  It’s just too cute!
2. Stemless Wine Glasses: Even if you don’t get these for yourself, they make for great gifts!  I just can’t resist drinkware with cute sayings on it.
3. Nap More Pillow: I have a few ghost chairs in my office and I always like to add pillows to them to not only make them more comfy but it’s also cuter.  This pillow is perfect and it’s probably a motto that I should follow more often 🙂
4. Mini Candle Set: I actually love small candles more than big candles as I tend to get sick of scents really fast so I love having smaller candles to have more variety.  These ones smell so good and are perfect to make your home smell fresh and clean.
5. Chic Happens Trinket Tray: I am all about having little dishes and trays all over my bedroom because I tend to take my jewelry off in every room so having a little spot for them ensures that I don’t lose anything.
6. Fragrance Diffuser: I tend to splurge on diffusers.  I just love them so much and think that they do an amazing job of making your room smell so good.  I keep one in our guest bathroom all the time and usually they are Archipelago as they make the best scents.  Anytime I can get these on sale, I jump on it as they don’t go on sale often!

Also just needed to share that my two favorite tops from my haul are still available!  Go shop them now:

Satin Pajama Top – wearing a size S for a more relaxed fit.  Also comes in white.  The choker is also from the anniversary sale but unfortunately sold out.  This tassel necklace is still available and I love that you can wear it in a variety of ways!

 TOP SHORTS SHOES CHOKER

I just got this tulle sweatshirt top yesterday. When I pulled it out of the box, I immediately just put it on to wear to dinner!  I love it!  It comes in gray and both colors are still available in all sizes.  I’m wearing an XS and it fits true to size.
