TO SPLURGE OR TO SAVE - Gifts

I know, I hate it when the holiday season prepping has to come before even Thanksgiving has had its chance, but all the magazines and blogs are putting out gift guides so I figured I would just hop on the bandwagon.

Here are a few gift ideas for this holiday season. Usually I find clothing harder to buy, so I've included mostly accessories and objects in this selection. All objects are listed and linked below, and the collage was made on Polyvore. Happy shopping!

FALL MAILERS (Continued) - Barneys CO-OP

Here are a selection of my favorite pages from the most recent Barneys CO-OP mailer. CO-OP always does a great job of styling their clothes in interesting and urban looks that, while not necessarily my style, definitely show off the offerings. A great shoot always makes for clothes that I want to buy, and these pages have both.

SAVE - Woolrich Woolen Mills Grey Stripe Hoodie - $150

I will be spending the first two months of my summer interning in the City during the week, and then hoping the Jitney out to Southampton for the weekends, both of which require very different wardrobes. Work is strictly jacket and tie, while the beach is strictly anything but. That's where this Woolrich Woolen Mills Hoodie comes in (available here). While it may seem a little overpriced, I know for a fact that their are at least three of them in a size medium down at Century 21 on Broadway for only $50 if you prefer blue and red stripes to grey (which I do). Save.
