Last Minute Gifts for You (or her) Under $100

Treat yourself or the ladies in your life with these gifts under $100 this holiday season.

the crystal press holiday fashion

When we polled you guys a while back on instagram, a good portion of you said that you like to treat yourselves during the holidays and we have to agree! So we rounded up some favorite finds from some of our favorite retailers under $100. Grab a gift for your best friend and get something for you while you are at it!

I personally treated myself to these Soludos slippers and just LOVE them. Another great idea is a fun top for New Years mor a pair of chic pajamas. We’ve been talking a lot on stories about the Target Pajamas and are hardcore fans of those, but it could also be fun to treat yourself to something a little more fancy. This Free People set looks luxe.

Mixing Textures For The Perfect Holiday Looks

Here’s a guide for how to mix interesting velvet and sequin pieces into your holiday outfits.

When Catherine and I were planning for this shoot, for once we were super organized. We planned out at least four looks as we wanted to maximize our time in the studio space! Cath had the idea of us each choosing a stand out piece and building two different looks with it. She chose the sequin top and I chose the velvet dress as both felt super festive for the holidays!!

While both of these pieces are sold out, we wanted to encourage you guys to create some interesting looks this holiday season by layering and pairing unlikely items together to make fun ‘fits.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE COZY

I recently jumped on the band wagon and started shopping on Amazon.  Specifically, I tried the Try Before You Buy feature to test out some of their sweater dresses.  I gotta say, I was so pleasantly surprised. Maybe even blown away! I figured Amazon stuff was cheapy and wouldn’t be soft or comfy. I was WRONG!



Here are four of the dresses that I 100% approve of from my Amazon order.  I am wearing a size small and am 5’4″ 120 for reference 🙂 These would all be great for your holiday parties and gatherings of any type! You could dress them up with heels and a blazer, or dress down with jeans and sneakers.
