I love to buy gifts for other people, but does anyone
else out there feel like when the holiday season rolls around, you suddenly
find a million amazing things for yourself? Guilty. I really do enjoy buying
for my daughter and husband, and pretty much everyone else in my family, but it
never fails that when I am searching for that perfect gift for them, I'm constantly finding
a few perfect little gifts for me too. Here is what I am asking my husband for
this year. I have dropped several hints at this point:)
I certainly don't need a watch. A few years ago my husband bought me a watch (a very expensive one, he always adds) from Jared. I love it but it's white gold, and I really am loving all these awesome layering ideas that showcase yellow gold. If you're not on the yellow gold train, get on it! It's back and it's fabulous! How amazing is that watch layered with the chain bracelet? I mean...
Speaking of layering... When cruising Pinterest, I found some awesome pictures of layered jewelry and noticed that is was all coming from this cute little site called Swell Caroline. I, of course, tapped on my pin so that it would take me to the site, and from then on I have been hooked! They have so many amazing pieces, some even from other vendors. I told my husband I wanted a piece of jewelry that had my daughter, Lola's, name or initials on it, and when I saw the cuff bracelet, I knew that was my piece. I am not a necklace kind of girl (when it comes to your typical mother's necklace) so I knew I needed something other than what I was seeing on Etsy and a few other sites. Everything was just way too traditional to me. I think the cuff bracelet, paired with the watch (lets pray I get both!) will be the perfect layered gold jewelry statement. I hope your holiday season shopping is going well. Just a side note, I am done shopping for others, so at this point it's not totally selfish to be thinking of what I want :)
Happy styling/shopping!
