Still looking for some last minute gift ideas? Something for your husband or yourself? Alicia Richmond with Chic on a Shoestring is sharing some of her favorite gift ideas.
1.Jillie Willie – (
http://www.JillieWillie.com $22 – $46) Most women love fun scarves. I have chosen some that are in bold colors, prints and embellished. A fun new idea for leggings are Mollie’s. These leggings have ruffles, prints and lace. Available in full, Capri or short length. $26.50.
Don’t forget the amazing aprons. This is how Jillie Willie started.
2.Fabric Make-up Bags from “Just Be” – (
http://www.justbeonline.com $20) Vintage fabrics and embellishment are great in any gift item. These decorative make-up bags are perfect as a gift or for yourself. Every time you pull out the bag it will start a conversation.
3.Boot Socks from “La La Lovely”– (
http://www.lalalovelyyou.blogspot.com $21) This fun new trend. I have been wearing these boots socks all season with fun skirts and leggings. What a great accessory for your legs.
4.Thick Leggings from Whimsy Boutiques – (
http://www.whimsyclothing.com $28) My biggest pet peeve about leggings are thin, flimsy attempts. I don’t want my legging to look like tights!
