There are two kinds of holiday shoppers. The kind that gets their shopping done early and the kind that waits until the very last minute. Can you guess which kind I am? I know, I know. There is nothing worse than waiting until the last minute. Sometimes it just happens though. You’re busy doing other things and somehow the holiday season just creeps up on you. Before you know it, you’re staring Christmas right in the face and you haven’t finished your shopping yet! There is good news though. Shopbop.com will still deliver your package by Christmas Eve if you order by 7:00pm (CST) on Wednesday (Dec 19th). So there is still time to pick up some last minute gifts for that special bagista on your list! Still stumped on what to get? Here are some items that you simply can’t go wrong with.

‘Tis the season for great fashion and so many designers have amazing accessories out right now. Judith Leiber never disappoint and she struck a high note with the “Noel” Ornament Clutch. Just last week, my Mom and I decorated our Christmas tree and it’s amazing how much detail we put into it. I always say, the way you decorate your Christmas tree is a reflection of your style. I absolutely love the color pink but for around the house I love a lot of cream and gold colors. With that said, I have a small pink tree in my room that also had dark pink ornaments. However, in my living room my Christmas tree is classy and elegant looking! It’s cream, gold and silver. It’s gorgeous and I think it says me all over it.

Marc Jacobs certainly loves his polka dots! The whimsical pattern has appeared in so many of his designs over the years. And while Marc Jacobs is no stranger to polka dots, it does appear he has taken a new interest in them recently. What do I mean by that? Well, this is not the first time this season I have written about a polka dot bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs. There have been numerous polka dot styles from the diffusion line recently. It’s as if they are popping up like… well… polka dots! Pictured here is my most recent find. Introducing the Marc by Marc Jacobs Phone Box Bag!

There is a new trend I have noticed in recent months. It has to do with wristlets and phones. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? It seems everywhere I turn, these things are popping up. They are wristlets with a phone case or holder built into them. Another way to look at it is a phone case with a place to put credit cards built in. I suppose the concept is okay. I mean, it could be convenient if you’re heading for a night out and you want to be able to quickly grab your phone and credit cards. So I decided to take a look at the styles currently available. Pictured here is one that I like. Introducing the Incase Snapshot iPhone Clutch!

It isn’t every day that you see a handbag with a painting being depicted on it. In fact, it has been a long time since I have written about one. A little over 2 years, to be exact. Does anyone remember the Alexander McQueen Bosch Tote? The tote depicted the Garden of Earthly Delights by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. An unusual, yet gorgeous piece to say the least. That is why I was happy to finally come across the bag you see here. Introducing the Anya Hindmarch Lady Courtney Clutch!

About two years ago with did a “Secret Santa” exchange on The Bag Forum. The whole idea was quite fun. We were basically buying and receiving a gift from someone we’ve only exchanged words with online. One year our brilliant founder, Jennifer, got me! She knows I’m obsessed with the color pink and she got me a gorgeous Juicy Couture pouch in like a coral color. I was instantly in love. It was beautiful and big enough to fit all my makeup inside. I carried it everyday with me and even neglected my Louis Vuitton makeup pouch. It was adorable, girly, pink and oh-so-me.

I was a model for many years and I quit to turn to acting. I’m currently in acting school at the moment and as part of my studies I go on sets of T.V. shows or movies that are being filmed in the South Florida area. In May, I got a part in a very popular cable T.V. show. I was so excited and brought my makeup, makeup brushes and carried it all in my pink Juicy Couture pouch. After a 15 hours shift, I went home and went straight to bed because I was filming for another T.V. show the very next day. When I went to pack my bags in the morning, I noticed my pink Juicy Couture pouch with all my makeup brushes and makeup was gone. I don’t like to assume, but to this day it’s never been found and I hope someone out in the world is enjoying my bag. I was pretty heart broken and I haven’t found a pouch as big and pretty and my Juicy Couture one.

I love unique fashion. When everyone follows one trend, I usually go in the complete opposite direction. I love the wear/carry things that are different from the norm and are eye catching. I’m not like Lady Gaga but I definitely like pushing the envelope when it comes to fashion. As I’ve stated time and time again, evening clutches are my favorite accessory. They’re elegant and can really complete an outfit. Alexander McQueen has the most beautiful clutches ever and I can’t wait to own one, one day! However, while browsing around Neiman Marcus I found a clutch that I believe is pretty neat. The Charlotte Olympia “Pandora” Clutch.

The holiday season is an excellent time to take a vacation. Visit loved ones or head somewhere warmer to soak up some sun, you really can’t go wrong either way! Wherever your travels happen to lead you, don’t forget to take some fashionable items along with so you can look your best no matter the occasion. This includes some of your favorite jewelry pieces so you can compliment your outfits. Hold on just a minute though. Where are you going to put that jewelry while you are on the road or in the air? Nothing is worse than finding your jewelry tangled up into one big knot by the time you have reached your final destination. That is why I like to use a travel organizer designed to keep all that jewelry neat and tidy. Right now I am loving the Gorjana Thompson Jewelry Clutch!
