It’s always been my tradition to write my Christmas list in August.
This makes it easy for me to create a wish list of everything I want throughout the few months between summer and the holidays.
You know those Tiffany earrings you were dying to have in September and completely forgot to add to your holiday wish list this year?
Well, I am here to help you remember some of the statement pieces you should be asking Santa to bring.
1. An over sized watch is a necessity for every college girl.
Not only do they look sophisticated and chic, but they are useful too.
Running from class, to meetings, to get-togethers can get overwhelming.
People underestimate the power of the watch. My favorite collection is by Michael Kors.
Check Nordstrom.com for styles including the Gold Catwalk Chronograph Watch or Multifunction Bracelet Watch.
2. Tall boots look great with skinny jeans or leggings.
There are so many different styles to choose from. You can choose from different lengths including ones that hit the calf, the knee or over the knee.
For everyday wear, try brown or black boots the stay below the knee and are slouchy.
They can dress up a t-shirt and jeans or a casual dress. Victoriassecret.com has a huge selection of stylish boots from different designers.
Check out the heeled Kidsuede Scrunch Boot, which is now on sale for $79 and comes in grey, black or brown.
Or if you want a flat version, try Steve Madden’s Slouchy Suede Boot. Boots will be great to wear for those holiday parties, as well.
3. Stud earrings are a staple jewelry piece that every girl should have.
They are such a simple statement that can pull together your whole look.
Diamond studs or pearls look perfect with anything. If you are putting this on your holiday list, you can splurge a bit.
Bloomingdales.com has a great collection of earrings. Look up “Cultured Pearl Studs” or “Kate Spade New York Park Avenue Faux Pearl Stud Earrings.”
The price differences are vast between the two, but there are many to choose from.
Costume jewelry can be fun, but fine jewelry is well worth the investment.
4. I always think there is one jacket that you need for the season.Sometimes it’s a pea coat, and sometimes it’s a blazer; but this year it’s a leather bomber.
This jacket can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood.
Two of the best I have seen so far are the Collection B Crinkled Waxy Faux Leather Bomber from Nordstrom.com at a steal price of $58 or the Silence & Noise Faux Leather Bomber Jacket from urbanoutfitters.com.
I hope this list helped put a jump-start to yours!
Remember it’s the holidays, and every girl deserves a special present.
Choose something extraordinary you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself.
