Hello fellow Christmas and fashion lovers, I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying a stylish holiday season. I’m so grateful to share my annual Christmas wishlist and thrilled that you enjoy them each year.
Tory Burch is one of my favorite fashion designers—I love her ladylike silhouettes and minimal, clean designs. While reading the October issue of Harper's Bazaar, I spotted the Twisted Monk Strap loafers, and if there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I can’t resist a great loafer. Debuting on the Fall ’25 runway, this menswear-inspired monk strap is refreshed with an elongated pointed toe, off-kilter seams, and ultra-flat soles. Made from soft nubuck leather with a cushioned footbed, the refined flat is finished with a sleek metal buckle closure. Available in two colors, these beauties are priced at $450.00.
Freja has definitely been catching my eye in 2025, and I’m not mad about it. I remember getting an email about both the Ida and Kaia bags, and as soon as I saw them, I knew they had to be on my Christmas wishlist. The Ida is a soft hobo-style silhouette made for the beautiful chaos of everyday life. With its relaxed shape and roomy interior, it carries everything — laptop, errands, last-minute dinner plans — while keeping its sculptural edge. The clean front seam adds a subtle architectural touch, striking the perfect balance between structure and slouch. Staying true to Freja’s signature minimalism, the Ida tote is an effortlessly understated everyday companion. Available in five colors, it’s currently on sale for $276, down from the original $368.
The Kaia bag is totally my style—a sleek update to Freja’s classic tall tote. Made from our signature ultrafiber, it’s structured yet lightweight, built to last without losing any elegance. A single front seam adds a subtle architectural touch, while the classic diamond strap attachment ties it back to Freja’s signature look. With its elongated shape and modern proportions, this tote transitions effortlessly through everyday life. It comes in four colors and is currently on sale for $209.00, down from the original $278.00.
I’m obsessed with the Hudson Bag and absolutely need it in my closet. It’s the newest everyday bag and a guaranteed staple. Compact and slim, yet spacious enough for all your essentials and more, it features an adjustable shoulder strap and silver protective feet at the base. Softly structured and effortlessly chic, it’s pure charm. Plus, it’s on sale for $175.00, down from the original $288.00.
One brand I’ve been loving this year is Demellier, especially for their effortlessly chic bag designs like the Hudson Bag. The Hudson is made to empower and built to last, featuring a signature belted strap and gold-plated lock that give it both strength and sophistication. Spacious and versatile, it adapts easily to daily life with expandable side panels that adjust with stud fastenings for extra room. A dog clip fastening keeps essentials secure, while leather handle holders neatly keep the top handles together. With a top handle plus an adjustable, removable strap, it can be styled in multiple ways—by hand, over the arm, or as a crossbody. Crafted ethically from sustainably sourced, LWG gold-rated Italian leather, the Hudson perfectly blends timeless style with modern refinement. Available in six gorgeous colors, it’s priced at $745.00.
The Luella Ankle Boot is a gorgeous choice for the fall and upcoming winter seasons. Step up your style with this classic, versatile bootie featuring a side zipper closure, square toe, 10.2-inch boot leg circumference, 5.5-inch shaft height, and a 1.6-inch heel. Available in four finishes, this standout piece is priced at $175.00.
The moment I laid eyes on the Alter Ego Bag from Coach, it was love at first sight. This stylish shoulder bag is cleverly made from full-grain leather scraps left over after crafting a Coach Brooklyn Bag. It’s a fashionable piece that holds all your essentials for a day out (even a tablet) and secures with a zip-top closure. Each bag has its own unique look that will gain even more character over time. Available in seven colors, this stunning bag is priced at $250.00.
A few weeks ago, I was browsing the Brandon Blackwood website when I came across the Jemma Bag and instantly fell in love with its size, leather, and gold hardware. Sleek and striking with a modern touch, the Black Oiled Leather version is made from smooth, high-shine leather and accented with polished gold details. Its structured shape, double straps, and spacious interior make it a stylish everyday staple. The price is $400.00.
The last three items on my Christmas list are from one of my favorite shoe brands, Dolce Vita. The Anika Boots are perfect for this season—the kind of booties you’ll want to wear with everything. Anika’s stylish and supportive heel pairs beautifully with a sleek, fitted upper and a subtly western-inspired toe. They come in a variety of trendy and neutral colors, and are priced at $170.00.
The Roan Boots are simply too stunning not to mention. This mid-calf bootie combines a sleek silhouette with subtle western stitching and a modern squared toe. Available in two versatile colorways, they pair perfectly with any outfit and suit any mood, all for $160.00.
Every woman needs a pair of tall leather boots for the winter months, and when I saw the Auggie Leather Boots, I knew right then I had to add them to my fall/winter wardrobe. They’re the epitome of a wardrobe staple, with an undeniably timeless, sleek silhouette. Sustainably crafted in classic leather or rich suede, these knee-high heeled boots pair perfectly with cozy layers and sweater dresses. Available in six colors, these beauties are priced at $250.00.
Fashion friends, I’m so thankful for each and every one of you this year. I hope my blog posts have inspired you to explore new trends and discover fresh designers. Wishing you all a safe and blessed holiday season, and I can’t wait to see you again in 2026. Love you all so much, and until next time, Stay Beautiful.
